<p><span lang="EN-IN">Open Access (OA) is a term
widely used to
refer to unrestricted online access to articles published in
scholarly
journals. Since the events that took place in Budapest and
Berlin in early
2000s, it has remained as one of the most passionately discussed
topics among
the scientific and scholarly community. It is an ongoing
movement with many
advocates and proponents unfalteringly championing the cause. OA
movement is
aligned with the overarching Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
with its focus
on bolstering human capital and the World Summit on the
Information Society’s
goal of building open and inclusive knowledge societies. To
achieve the goal of
open and inclusive knowledge societies, different approaches and
strategies
have been adopted by UNESCO.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">UNESCO supports OA for the
benefit of the
global flow of knowledge, innovation and equitable socio</span><span lang="EN-IN">‐</span><span lang="EN-IN">economic development.
Its constitution, written much before the
advent of electronic publishing, mandates: <i>UNESCO
should 'maintain, increase and diffuse knowledge, by assuring
the conservation
and protection of the world's inheritance of books, works of
art and monuments
of history and science</i>' (Constitution, art, 1.2 c).
UNESCO’s open suite
strategy (now referred as Open Solutions) primarily includes the
Open
Educational Resources (OER); Open Access to scientific
literature (OA); Open
Training Platform (OTP) and Free and Open Source Software
(FOSS). </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">Access to scientific
information is a major
problem, especially due to a high and increasing cost of
peer-reviewed journals
and fluctuations in the exchange rates. Open Access is the
provision of free
access to peer-reviewed, scholarly and research information to
all. It
envisages that the rights holder grants worldwide irrevocable
right of access
to copy, use, distribute, transmit, and make derivative works in
any format for
any lawful activities with proper attribution to the original
author. </span></p>

</div>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">The main objective of the
Regional
Consultation will be to share how free and unrestricted access
to research and
scholarly communication can increase the impact of research and
benefit
research institutions, authors, journal publishers and the
society as a whole.
The Consultation will examine how the context of Open Access in
the region can
add to the productivity, visibility and accessibility of
research and research
outcomes.<span> </span>The
Consultation will create
an enabling mechanism to assess contexts of mandates or policy
framework that
surrounds Open Access. It will provide an opportunity for
reflecting upon case
studies and examples of how Open Access has influenced teaching,
research and
development in the region.<span> </span>Workshop
participants
will also have an opportunity to <span>contribute</span>
towards highlighting priority areas for intervention to achieve
“Openness” in
the region and individual countries. Participants are also
expected to review
the UNESCO OA policy templates and workout specific policy for
their own
country/institution and develop a work plan on how to implement
the same with
specific timeline.</span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in"><span lang="EN-US">UNESCO’s
standard-setting work is addressed primarily to Member
States, i.e. their governments. The IFAP Template fully
endorses the multi-stakeholder approach to the
development of the Information Society, however, and
acknowledges that the role of other stakeholders
(especially entrepreneurs, network, service and content
providers, but also, of course, civil society and NGOs)
is as (if not, in some cases, more) important as that of
governments. Nevertheless, this depends on the specific
circumstances, and also on the stage of the process of
developing the Information Society, in any particular
country. The emphasis in this Template is primarily on
what governments and the civil service should do and
this was a deliberate choice, in keeping with the
approach adopted in the Tunis Agenda for the Information
Society, given that the document may be most useful in
countries where the role of government policy and of the
public sector is especially important.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
