**<br>*Press Release January 1st 2012*<br><br>INAUGURAL EPT AWARD for OPEN ACCESS<br><br>*The Electronic Publishing Trust for Development is pleased to announce the<br>winners of a new annual award to be made to individuals working in<br>
developing countries who have made a significant personal contribution to<br>advancing the cause of open access and the free exchange of research<br>findings. *<br><br>We received 30 proposals from organisations in 17 developing countries on<br>
four continents, naming individuals who have worked hard to promote Open<br>Access and who have achieved substantial progress. The selection of a<br>single winner was extremely difficult as we received nominations for so<br>
many individuals who have made impressive strides by any or all of the<br>following means:-<br><br> - establishing OA institutional repositories;<br><br><br> - setting up or encouraging conversion to OA journals;<br> - achieving establishment of OA mandates requiring research to be OA on<br>
publication, or other policy developments;<br> - advocating OA via seminars, publications, workshops, videos;<br> - training others in the technology of setting up IRs;<br> - preparing and establishing e-learning projects;<br>
- working towards the acceptance of Creative Commons licensing<br> arrangements for research publications;<br> - developing software for use in OA practices.<br><br>Because of the high standard of the applicants, we have decided to name a<br>
single winner, but also to recognise three other individuals who were very<br>close runners-up. All will receive a certificate and the winner will<br>receive in addition an engraved plaque in the next few weeks.<br><br>We are very happy to announce that the winner of the inaugural award is *Dr<br>
Francis Jayakanth* of the National Centre for Scientific Information,<br>Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. Dr Jayakanth played a<br>significant role in the establishment of India?s first institutional<br>repository (IR) (<a href="http://eprints.iisc.ernet.in" target="_blank">http://eprints.iisc.ernet.in</a>). He now manages the IR and<br>
has provided technical support for establishing IRs in many other<br>universities and institutes in India. He has been the key resource person<br>at many events to train people in setting up IRs and OA journals. He has<br>
delivered presentations on IRs, OA journals, the OAI protocol, OAI<br>compliance, the benefits of OA to authors and institutions and the role of<br>libraries. He has developed a free and open source software tool (CDSOAI),<br>
which is widely used.<br><br>*The Indian Institute of Science is the most prestigious institute in **<br>India** and its IR now holds >31,400 records, making the century-old<br>institute's research far more globally visible than before. The University<br>
Grants Commission in **India** has been impressed by the IISC?s IR and has<br>directed all universities in **India** to replicate this effort*.<br><br>Francis Jayakanth can indeed be considered an OA ?renaissance man?, an<br>
advocate and technical expert in all aspect of Open Access development and<br>an inspiration to all, both at the research and policy level.<br><br>The EPT is proud to congratulate Dr Jayakanth as our first Award winner. We<br>
believe this Award and the example of our first winner will inspire many<br>others and lead to similarly impressive nominations in 2012.<br><br>The runners-up for this award were (in alphabetical order):<br><br> - *Ina Smith*, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa;<br>
- *Tatyan Zayseva*, Khazar University, Azerbaijan;*<br> - Xiaolin Zhang*, National Science Library, Chinese Academy of Science.<br><br>The EPT wishes to congratulate them and *all* who have been proposed, since<br>without exception they have made a significant personal contribution to the<br>
sharing of research findings across the world. We will be sharing some of<br>their stories and successes on our blog over the next few weeks.<br><br>Electronic Publishing Trust for Development<br>Web site <a href="http://www.epublishingtrust.org" target="_blank">http://www.epublishingtrust.org</a><br>
