CSIR’S MANDATE ON OA
Implementation of recommendations of the “Group for Open Access to Science Publications (GOASP) of CSIR” – 6 February 2009
All research papers published from all CSIR laboratories be made open access either in IR or in OA journal
All CSIR journals be made open access
Each laboratory sets up its own interoperable institutional open access repository
CSIR’S MANDATE ON OA
CSIR / laboratories sets up one or more centre(s) for harvesting the full-text & metadata of the papers
Each laboratory sets up Electronic Thesis & Dissertations Repository
To hold a conference for creating awareness on Open Access
To hold in house Training programmes on Open Access
Sensitize CSIR researchers
CSIR’S MANDATE ON OA
CSIR-URDIP will setup a central harvester for harvesting full-text & metadata of all these papers/documents
All the CSIR journals published by CSIR-NISCAIR have been made open access. Progressively, all CSIR publications will be made open access
CSIR-NISCAIR will organize training programmes-
for Scientists to change their perceptions towards open access for editors & journal production officers of CSIR & other scientific
agencies for personnel from CSIR laboratories who would be setting up IRs
CSIR’S MANDATE ON OA
Every year CSIR will celebrate “Open Access Day” during the International Open Access Week (lectures, programmes, taking new OA initiatives, publicizing the statistics of downloads)
If publishers do not follow transparent models of subscription/licensing the content, CSIR scientists will not publish in those journals, will not review the papers & will not join editorial boards
CSIR will lead the Open Access Movement within the country to form a National Open Access Policy to mandate the availability of output of publically funded research in public domain

BACKGROUND- HOW IT STARTED?
With the Open Access movement gaining momentum, CSIR-NISCAIR decided to make available all its journals in the open access
Consequently, the NISCAIR Online Periodicals Repository (NOPR) was developed in 2008
On the occasion of the First International Open Access Day, on 14 October 2008 Prof. Samir Brahmachari, former DG-CSIR, launched two journals, viz. Indian Journal of Chemistry-Section A (IJC-A) and Indian Journal of Biochemistry & Biophysics (IJBB) in Open Access mode
nopr.niscair.res.in
NOPR TODAY
NOPR provides open access to full text articles of all the 17 primary journals
NISCAIR's online repository today holds more than 26000 full text articles and users from more than 140 countries with about 41 lakh downloads
Natural Products and Resources Repository, Science Reporter, Vigyan Pragati and Science-ki-Duniya have also been made available online
Gradually adding back volumes.
Going online, before the print version is published
Making the articles searchable in all major search engines
OPEN ACCESS ON THE NISCAIR AGENDA
CSIR-NISCAIR’s Biennial Report’s cover-page depicting the “Open Access” theme.
