N1 - Funding Information: Open-access publishing is becoming increasingly popular with China leading the way with funding from various government agencies []. In India, government research funding is a fraction of overall GDP and is relatively small—0.6% in comparison to the 2.1% of China and 2.8% of the USA []. The non-availability of grants and funding makes it difficult for researchers to afford any category of open access. The Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) does provide financial support to promote good quality research amongst postgraduate residents. They provide a one-time grant of INR 50,000 (~ 680 USD) limited to 100 recipients per year []. This probably is insufficient to cater to the 44,000 doctors who enter speciality training every year.
