The best way to share the publications will be ” green access”. Most of the journals nowadays accept the sharing of “post print”-the author version before type setting. Even if there is embargo, that’s mostly 6 months for journals in STI field.
The need of research publications and research data sharing is very important to achieve a better and transparent research ecosystem in India. The primary focus of the thematic group, “Access to Knowledge and Resources” of STIP 2020, is enabling sharing of research outputs. Another points that were overlooked so far was research data sharing in FAIR format-this was addresses in the discussion as well.
