Current Journal Articles on ICRISAT's Research Areas


Open Acess and Publishing - Background


The Internet and related digital technologies are creating opportunities for new models of scholarly communication and publishing. The Open Access movement offers a model of scholarly communication that embraces technology's potential to make scholarship available worldwide at minimal cost to readers..

Open access is "free availability and unrestricted use" (PLOS http://www.plos.org/ ). It is an access method rather than a business plan. Open access is not free to produce, but scholarship can be made free to readers through a variety of economic support models.

Open Access maximizes potential readership and impact by removing economic (no subscription or access fees), technical (no DRM), and legal (minimal restrictions on reuse and redistribution) barriers to access and use of scholarship. Scholarly authors can benefit from expanded dissemination of their work. Beyond the convenience and

speed of more open scholarly exchange, so vital to the progress of scholarship, a growing body of evidence indicates that articles that are freely available on the Internet have greater impact.

Two paths to Open Access

Open-access journals - whose costs are covered through publication fees, sponsorships, in-kind contributions, or other sources of support - are emerging as an alternative to the traditional subscription model.

  • Open access and economically priced journals recognize and preserve the important role of peer review in scholarly communication, while breaking down or lowering access barriers.
  • The Directory of Open Access Journals <http://www.doaj.org/> lists more than 2900 quality controlled open-access journals in a wide range of subject areas, and is growing at the rate of more than 1 new open-access journal per day. Online open archives hosted by universities and governments provide free access to articles, supplementary materials, supporting data, working papers, pre-prints, images, and more.
  • KU ScholarWorks is an example of an institutional repository: http://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/ .
  • Open archives extend the options for disseminating scholarly work and serving as complements to traditional journals. For example, physics papers often will first appear in preliminary form for community feedback in the arXiv.org physics repository. Subsequently, they appear in final form in a peer-reviewed journal and in arXiv.org. Despite the free availability on arXiv.org, physics journals have continued to flourish.
  • The Directory of Open Access Repositories lists over 1,000 such repositories worldwide:< http://www.opendoar.org/ >
  • Open archives make metadata available in a standardized format (OAI-PMH) and are indexed by Google, Google Scholar, OAIster, and other search engines, allowing readers to find material without having to go directly to each repository.

Bringing down the barriers

With all the benefits of open sharing of research, why isn't scholarly publishing changing more rapidly? There are a number of factors:

  • Economies extrinsic to scholarship have grown up around the sale (and now lease, in the digital context) of journals and monographs. Change has sometimes been hampered by efforts to protect publishing revenues and profits.
  • Related to this is the need perceived by many publishers to rigorously defend their intellectual property (the texts provided to them by scholarly authors, together with their editing and formatting) in the digital environment through licensing restrictions. And new technical protection schemes on the horizon could make matters worse yet for information users.
  • The culture of academe , with its prestige economy, is also a factor. Career advancement depends on publishing in leading, well-established journals journals that may fear they have little to gain from change. Some promotion and tenure committees may not yet recognize the value of new forms of digital scholarship.

Open Access: Quick Stats, Fast Facts:

How much open access is there already?

  • The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) lists over 2,900 titles, and is
  • growing at a rate of more than one title per calendar day, http://www.doaj.org
  • An OAIster search encompasses more than 12 million records in over 800 repositories, http://www.oaister.org/ .
  • Scientific Commons includes more than 16 million publications from over 6 million authors in over 800 repositories, http://www.scientificcommons.org/ . (from: Heather Morrison. The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics http://poeticeconomics.blogspot.com/ August 18, 2007)

ICRISAT Library's Open Access (OA) Initiative

ICRISAT Library , over the last couple of years, has been preparing to put up an open access platform for hosting Institutes research publications including preprints, conference papers, institute level publications etc. During the last quarter of 2007, the Library using an Integrated Library Management System - NewGenLib - developed a database for all the research publications. Using the international standard, the database structure was designed so that data exchange and harvesting could be facilitated without any problem. This database has close to 4300 recor ds with full citations and abstracts.

During that same period the database was tested by the OAI-PMH (the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) for structure confirmity for harvestors to capture data. The database passed the test on all parameters. During the early part of the year 2008, this database was registered with the OAIster - an OA database harvestor from the University of Michigan , USA . Soon after registration the OAIster has started harvesting our full-text digital documents from the database and made them available free to the Internet users. Since this harvestor selects only those recor ds with full text links, out of the 4300 recor ds , around 1100 full text recor ds were harvested.

A simple search on ICRISAT crops in OAIster showed the following results:

Crops Digital Documents

  1. Chickpeas 210
  2. Groundnuts 227
  3. Pearl millet 145
  4. Pigeonpeas 175
  5. Sorghum 245

In May 2009 a formal note was issued by the Director General ICRISAT has now adopted to implement the Open Access policy to share and disseminate widely the results of the Institute's research and development activities Every ICRISAT scientist/author in all locations, laboratories and offices will send a PDF copy of the author's final version of a paper immediately upon receipt of communication from the publisher about its acceptance. This is not the final published version that certain journals provide post-print, but normally the version that is submitted following all reviews and just prior to the page proof.

The Open Access database can be accessed at http://openaccess.icrisat.org


Literature Search Services

The Library, on requests from its users, carried out comprehensive as well as problem oriented literature searches in our databases and generated search outputs for the following titles:

  • Ascochyta blight in chickpeas
  • Botrytis grey moulds in chickpeas
  • Effect of drought on Rhizoctonia bataticola/Macrophomina phaseolina in Chickpeas
