When an author prepares journal articles, conference papers, book chapters etc. these can be freely available in the digital form on internet which is said to be “Self-archiving”. For the purpose of maximizing its accessibility, usage and citation impact the SHERPA/RoMEO database provides a classification system, assigning self-archiving colours of “Green”, “Blue”, “Yellow” and “White” to the publishers depending on their archiving policy. Archiving colours: The original colour code was established by the JISC-Funded RoMEO Project in 2003, and now it continued by RoMEO services. The colours provide a simple way of identifying the general self-archiving policy, rights, permissions and restrictions that are proposed by different Publishers. The self-archiving colours are “White” archiving not formally supported “Yellow” can archive pre-print “Blue” can be Post print “Green” Both Pre- Prints & Post-Prints Pre-Print: The Primary draft version/from of the work up to and during the peer review Process. Post-Print –Author Prospective: A Post-Print has been defined as the form of work, after peer review, which has been accepted for Publication, for which copy right licence agreement has been signed. Post-Print–Publisher Prospective: The Publisher often reserve for themselves their own arrangement of typesetting and format Publisher generated PDF. The publishers want their material to be seen as a professionally produced PDF which fits with their own house-style. The use of these self-archiving colours of friendly publishers plays an important role in the open access environment & send a clear message about open access self-archiving for a new researcher or a student it’s difficult to write research paper, preparation of abstract, design the methodology of research and to reach in findings & conclusion. Also they are ignorant how to communicate the same with the publisher for submission of their prepared work. Sometimes they are also unable to review their own works. For such a situation in India the premier institutes like IITs, IIMs, AIIMSs, IISERs, NISER, NITs, Universities, and all research institution’s Library Professionals shall take the responsibility for conducting authors workshop, prepare research guide & style manual etc. These shall be done by the eminent Researchers & the Reference Librarians every year, which will be helpful to the researchers and students to prepare quality project, dissertation, theses, journals articles, conference papers, book chapters etc.
