Natural Products and Resources Repository

s (MAPA) and Indian Science Abstracts (ISA). Since, MAPA and ISA have vast coverage on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants and all science subjects, respectively, we have now decided to extend our services on all plant and animals based natural products in faster mode i.e. electronically. With immense pleasure we announce launching of Natural Products and Resources Repository (NPARR) with open access to adequately fulfill the information needs of teachers, scientists, scholars and entrepreneurs for research and commercial products development from natural resources. Another feature of this repository is that authors can be users and contributors to this repository at the same time by sending soft copies of abstracts of their published papers with full citation and address of corresponding authors and information on technologies/know-how developed at their institute/university for placing under respective group of products/technologies. I trust that this collection will also help researchers in searching core and non-core journals on specified products. I welcome all experienced authors, editors and publishers of national and international journals for their creative cooperation and enthusiastic involvement in this new endeavor. The NPARR allows free access to its contents and hence will enhance citation/visibility of papers/ technological know-how included in this repository. We look forward to provide you a comprehensive collection of quality information on natural products in coming years. Gangan Prathap (Former Director) CSIR-NISCAIR
