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.
