Now, we have come up with a list of free, open-source software to disseminate research and manage the entire scholarly publishing workflow, from submission to indexing, in case of books, journals, and preprints. These are the publishing software by Public Knowledge Project (PKP). From the beginning, PKP has been developing publishing platforms, such as OJS, OMP, and OPS, based on the principles and licensing of free and open-source software (FOSS). In its effort to support the publishing of open access journals, books, and preprints, PKP is an integral part of the scholarly publishing ecosystem, offering infrastructure that is as open as the science it aims to support.

India’s first Preprints Repository to improve research quality in the country

Researchers in any field, accessing research publications face two main problems. One, it takes around one year in the whole process of submitting, reviewing, accepting, and publishing research work in an online journal to be accessible. Another one is most of the papers remain behind the paywall as they are published in journals that are accessible only after having a subscription. So, many researchers in different countries, and of different universities and colleges who don't have subscriptions to these journals are unaware of the research findings in their fields. The need to make the current research results, immediately and freely accessible to the research community for building the ground for further research, has given rise to Preprints servers. A growing number of disciplines are building online repositories of preprints that are openly accessible to all readers. India also launched its preprints service in 2017 in agricultural sciences and now launched the country's first community Preprints service IndiaRxiv.
