Issues facing OAP in India
● Fear that revenue loss from print subscriptions if journal becomes OA
even as it increases readership and circulation of knowledge
● Lack of IT infrastructure or the funds to develop it for using far more efficient online means of managing and publishing journals.
● Other obstacles include uncertainty around copyright issues and a lack of management support and clerical support.
