Prospects of Open Access to Indian Agricultural Research: A Case Study of ICAR
No full textHistorically, agricultural research and education in India have been in the public domain. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) was established as an apex organization for effective research coordination among institutions and promotion of agricultural research in the country. For the dissemination of research output, the research journal publishing in India have been, for long, primarily a public funded activity and done mostly by Government agencies like ICAR organizations supported by it. Though many of these journals are distributed for international indexing, full–text database services are very poor. Many of them are not even in the ISI Master Journal list for impact factor or science citation index analysis. The main objective of each author is to have more impact, visibility and readership for their work. These journals publish quality articles after stringent peer review process, but the time lag from submission to publication of an article or production of issue is long. The infrastructure for publishing online is also not available for these journals. Recently, some provisions have been established for providing free online access of journals being published by professional societies. Now the availability of open source software for the transformation of traditional journals into open access journals and the establishment of open archive online repositories for archiving research can make agricultural research accessible to much larger audiences. The paper argues that this will increase the visibility of research output and eventually lead to an enhanced impact factor for many Indian journals

The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) was established as an apex organization for effective research coordination among institutions and promotion of agricultural research in the country. For the dissemination of research output, the research journals published in India have been, for long, primarily a public funded activity and done mostly by government agencies. In case of agricultural research, the journals are being published by ICAR and by respective professional societies. Many of these societies are receiving financial assistance partly from ICAR. Each discipline of agriculture is having at least a professional society and for some disciplines, there are more than one societies and each society is publishing a peer reviewed research journal. Though many of these journals are sent for international indexing like CAB Abstracts, full-text database services, etc., look poor. Many of them are not even in the ISI Master Journal list for the impact factor or Science Citation Index (SCI) analysis. The main objective of authors is to have more impact, visibility and readership of his/her contribution. These journals publish quality articles after stringent peer review process, but the time lag from submission to publication of an article or production of issue is more. There are instances where the articles sent for review were not returned back due to various reasons. The infrastructure for publishing online is also not available for these journals. Recently, a portal (www.indianjournals.com) had started providing free online access of some journals being published by professional societies. Under National Agriculture Innovation Project (NAIP), ICAR is investing considerably for ensuring availability of some non-free online journals along with all open access journals. Now the time has come to think about wider reach without restrictions on the lines of open access and open archiving of research publications. This paper discusses about the prospects of open access to ICAR system.Not Availabl

Open Access: Making Science Research Accessible
No full textEven as the government makes huge investments in science and technology, research publications produced by Indian institutions are not easily available or accessible, thus undermining the visibility and ranking of these institutions. The adoption of an open access policy can close the gap between research outcomes and their dissemination. Expanding access to publicly-funded scientific research through open access has the potential to spur innovation and lead to a growth in patentable discoveries and their commercial applications.

Tandem α‑Arylation/Cyclization of 4‑Haloacetoacetates with Arynes: A Metal-Free Approach toward 4‑Aryl-3-(2<i>H</i>)‑furanones
No full textAn efficacious, metal-free
strategy has been developed for the
synthesis of 4-aryl-3-(2H)-furanones. The reaction
proceeds via the nucleophilic addition of an active methylene compound
to the aryne followed by ring closing of the adduct. The reaction
proceeds under mild conditions, is applicable for gram-scale synthesis
of 4-aryl-3-(2H)-furanones, and is general for a
range of substituted arynes and haloacetates
