摘要：
Purpose - The overall aim of the research was to gather the data related to open access journal initiatives in India with respect to its type, funding agency/host organization, full text availability, article charges etc. Design/methodology/approach - Various sources of information were consulted such as literature, search engines, directories etc. Findings - Results shows that all 178 open access journals were peer reviewed, indexed and abstracted in various indexing and abstracting services, listed with DOAR and O-Jgate. Research limitations/implications - Open access journals that were available on internet were included but not those which were available on intranet. Originality/value - In the earlier literature it was mentioned that there were about 100 to 110 open access journals and no author paid journals. But the present study discovered the existence of 178 open access journals with three author paid journals.
