Open Access Policy Literature
- National Academies PressThe National Academies Press (NAP) publishes the publications of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. NAP publishes more than 200 publications per year on a wide range of topics in science, engineering, and medicine, providing authoritative, independently researched information on important matters in science and health policy.
- Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)DOAJ is a community-curated online directory that indexes and provides access to high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals.
- Dimensions.AI (free version)Using the facets on the left-side navigation, it is possible to limit Research Categories to Sustainable Development Goals, for example, and also limit to Open Access documents for access after you are no longer affiliated with Princeton. Publications, citations, datasets and the context around those publications are all key pieces of information when it comes to understanding research activities and results.
Centering local scholarly voices
It can be challenging to find non-Western scholarship in US-based databases and journals. One technique involves using the two-letter country code in Google Scholar. This approach may work well for identifying global, non-Western research. The key lies in the "site tag" for country code. For example, in Google Scholar try the search:
allintitle:("international aid" OR "foreign aid") site:ke
The results appear to be limited to scholars working within Kenya (ke) who deposit their work in a Kenyan university repository. Similarly, we could conduct the search in Egypt:
("international aid" OR "foreign aid") AND (decolonization OR colonial OR decolonisation) site:eg
Another search:
allintitle:("international aid" OR "foreign aid") site:eg
The results, again, appear to be from Egyptian (eg) authors and institutions, publishing in Egyptian journals. Allintitle looks for those keywords in the title field.
