"Submitted documents will be placed into the submission buffer and become part of the OpenMED archive on their acceptance," Pandita told IANS.

"We expect it to promote self-archiving and open access to papers or scholarly publications in these fields," said a member of the project team.

But there's a rider: inclusion in OpenMED archive gives no assurance of any kind regarding the correctness or quality of the information or software. The site's disclaimer says so.

"(Our) objective is to encourage the self-archiving culture amongst medical professionals in India. The goal is to preserve valuable research publications for future medical researchers and, side-by-side, to publicise research being conducted in the country," the project's promoters said in the application that made it to the final round in Scandinavia.

This project, argue its promoters, is based on E-Prints, a free downloadable software, and this archive can be easily replicated. In future, the project plans to launch Open Access Journals as a non-commercial venture.

In February, Pandita announced the number of submissions to the OpenMED archive had almost touched the 1,000 mark.
