The more important thing will be for each one of these members to make all their research publications open access. And for all their institutions to set up and populate OA repositories. Very few agricultural research and teaching institutions in India have adopted open access.<div><br></div><div>Arun</div><div><br></div><div><br><br>--- On <b>Wed, 6/6/12, Sridhar Gutam <i><gutam2000@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Sridhar Gutam <gutam2000@gmail.com><br>Subject: [GOAL] ARSSF Signs Berlin Declaration<br>To: "boai-forum" <boai-forum@ecs.soton.ac.uk>, GOAL@eprints.org, "LIS Forum" <lis-forum@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in>, "american-scientist-open-access-forum"
