In an ambitious move to make scientific knowledge and data available
to all, the government has proposed an open data policy that will
make information generated by all publicly funded research, including
its results, freely accessible to everyone.

More significantly, the government has also proposed to buy bulk
subscriptions of all the important scientific journals across the
world, and provide everyone in India free access to them. The
proposals have been made in the draft Science, Technology and
Innovation Policy that was released to the public on New Year's Day
for comments and suggestions.

The 'One Nation, One Subscription' policy for scientific journals is
a radical move that could prove to be a game changer for the
scientific community and individual researchers. There are more than
3,000 to 4,000 high-impact scientific journals, and sources say the
government might have to spend a few hundred crore rupees every year
to get their bulk subscriptions. But its impact on the scientific
research community could be huge, given that access to these journals
are highly priced and even big institutions are selective in buying
subscriptions.

The Ministry of Science and Technology, which has drafted the new
policy, proposes to set up a new Science, Technology and Innovation
Observatory which will serve as a central repository for all kinds of
data generated from research in India. All data generated from
publicly-funded research is proposed to be made freely available to
everyone. In cases where, for reasons of privacy, national security
or intellectual property rights, the availability of data has to be
restricted, "suitably anonymised and/or redacted data" will still be
provided. Even in cases where it cannot be released to the general
public, genuine researchers would be given access to it, the policy
has proposed.

Additionally, libraries of all publicly-funded institutions are
proposed to be made accessible to general public "subject only to
reasonable security protocols".

The policy also talks about promoting the goal of "Atmanirbhar
Bharat" in the field of science and technology. "A two-way approach
of indigenous development of technology as well as technology
indigenisation will be adopted," it says.

"Greater emphasis will be given on promoting traditional knowledge
systems, developing indigenous technologies and encouraging
grassroots innovations," it says.
