In India, open access to scholarly communication has been developing for several decades. During May 2004, two workshops were organised by the M S Swaminathan Research Foundation, Chennai[1] which laid the foundation for the Open Access movement in India. In 2009, the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research began requiring that its grantees provide open access to funded research.[2][3] The "Delhi Declaration on Open Access" in South Asia was issued on 14 February 2018, signed by dozens of academics and supporters.[4]

Journals

As of April 2018, there are approximately 212 active open access journals produced in India, according to the UK-based Directory of Open Access Journals.[5] Titles include the Indian Journal of Community Medicine, Indian Journal of Medical Research, and Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology.[5]

Repositories

As of April 2018, there are at least 78 collections of scholarship in India housed in digital open access repositories.[6][7][8] They contain journal articles, book chapters, data, and other research outputs that are free to read. Recently a preprint repository for India, IndiaRxiv was launched.[9]
