Navigating Self-Archiving Frontiers in UGC-CARE Science Journals

Self-archiving is a simple and effectual way to increase the visibility and impact of an individual research, and to make it more accessible to the broader scholarly community. It helps to ensure that scholarly work is preserved for future generations. The main objective of this book is to know the self-archiving policies of the University Grants Commission (UGC) - Consortium for Academic Research Ethics (CARE) listed ‘Science’ journals using Sherpa Romeo database.In this book, we have discussed the background of the present study, its scope, limitations, objectives, methodology and scholarly landscape. We have provided a brief conceptual framework of ‘Self-archiving’ along data analysis and its interpretation. Major findings and takeaways are also reported. We have put our best efforts to make this book valuable, useful and enrich it with our findings so that it give a complete picture of the present study and provide the benefits to the readers. I hope who goes through it will find it interesting and worth reading. Suggestions to new ideas for further improvement of this book shall be greatly appreciated and acknowledged.
