Open Index Initiative: search engine for Indian social science literature
The Open Index Initiative is maintained by staff of the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research Library. It provides free access to a searchable database of bibliographic references to social science literature and resources held in major Indian research Libraries. It includes references to journal articles, conference papers, working papers, research reports and theses. Most articles are taken from English language titles such as the Economic and Political Weekly. Articles date from the early 1990s onwards. Entries include titles but not the full text. Topics covered include Indian history, politics and economics. There is also coverage of anthropology, development studies, the politics of Gandhi, nuclear weapons policy, relations between India and Pakistan and the political situation in Kashmir.The site also has a union list of key social science and management journals held in Indian universities.
