This document discusses open access publishing and its importance for developing countries. It notes that open access publications can be freely accessed online by anyone with an internet connection. While open access does not affect peer review, traditional journals are subscription-based. The document advocates that researchers in developing countries should direct their work towards addressing local community needs rather than prioritizing international citations. Open access has the potential to increase the impact of research for development, but more needs to be done to promote it, such as establishing repositories and raising awareness among students and political leaders.

In 2018, the SciELO Program will celebrate 20 years of operation, in full alignment with the advances of open science.
The SciELO 20 Years Conference will address and debate – during its three-day program – the main political, methodological and technological issues that define today’s state of the art in scholarly communication and the trends and innovations that is shaping the future of the universal openness of scholarly publishing and its relationship with today’s Open Access journals, in particular those of the SciELO Network.
The program of the conference is organized around the alignment of SciELO journals and operations with the best practices on communication of open science, such as publishing research data, expediting editorial processes and communication through the continuous publication of articles and the adoption of preprints, maximizing the transparency of research evaluation and the flow of scholarly communication, and searching for more comprehensive systems for assessing research, articles and journals.
A two-day meeting of the coordinators of the national collections of the SciELO Network will take place prior to the Conference with focus on the evaluation of SciELO journals and the SciELO Program and their improvement following the lines of action that will guide their development in the forthcoming five years.
The celebration of SciELO’s 20-year anniversary constitutes an important landmark in SciELO’s evolution, and an exceptional moment to promote the advancement of an inclusive, global approach to scholarly communication and to the open access movement while respecting the diversities of thematic and geographic areas, as well as of languages of scientific research.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Open Access Publishing :
Developing Countries

2. Open Access??
●
If a publication is 'Open Access' it means that it can be
freely accessed by anyone in the world using an Internet
Connection.
●
It is important to point out that Open Access does not affect
peer-review; Articles are peer-reviewed and published in
Journals in the normal way.
8. Our Universities, in particular, should be directing their
research focus to address the Development and
Social needs of our communities. The impact of their
research should be measured by how much difference
it makes to the need of our communities,rather than by
just how much international citations researchers
receive in their publications.
Blade Nzimande, Minister of Higher Education and Training, South Africa, at the
UNESCO World Conference on Higher Education in 2010
9. In Nepal Context maybe We are Moving
towards wrong way
Although
Open Access has the Potential to open up research
publication for wider Development impact.
10. But by looking from Policymaker eyes:
Yet this does not seem to be delivering the impact
11. Lots don't know where those Tiny Shares of
Scientific Output goes
12. It has become “Tip of the Iceberg” -
Formal Publishing
And its 'output' dominates research publishing policy
17. How??
➢
Depositing copies of any journal articles you write in an Open website.
➢
Talking about Open Access and Sharing information with colleagues.
➢
Raising the issue with Political Leaders.
➢
Including Open Access Journals in library catalogs.
➢
Helping to set-up an Institutional repository.
➢
Collaborating with other Universities and Colleges in your areas.
