印度是否朝着开放出版物的方向发展？

摘要本研究讨论了印度开放获取出版物的背景，并阐明了该国政府和组织出版开放获取期刊的各种举措。Scopus已被推荐检索在开放获取期刊上发表的印度研究出版物。研究发现，来自印度的出版物比例很低。在Scopus索引的22,32811份印度出版物中，只有2,90152份（12.00%）出版物在开放获取期刊上发表。根据开放获取期刊目录（DOAJ），截至2020年3月31日，印度共向DAOJ注册了286种开放获取期刊。印度对世界开放获取期刊的贡献仅为1.97%。此外，该研究还讨论了各种政府和私人开放获取期刊倡议、向OA期刊推广的主要资助者、为OA期刊做出贡献的知名作者，并确定了开放获取出版物增长的主要领域。这项研究将为那些想在开放获取期刊上发表研究的新研究人员提供方便。
