Digital platform for open and equitable sharing of scholarly knowledge in India

This article explores the possibilities of launching an open-access digital publishing platform in India. The authors have analyzed the existing open-source technologies like Open Journal System (OJS) and compared them with proprietary models like Editorial Manager to understand the gaps and explore avenues to conceive a cost-effective digital publishing platform. Hopefully the open-access digital publishing platform will help the Indian journals upgrade their publishing systems up to the international standard, if not better, and help researchers explore a non-commercial avenue to publish open access articles.
