In a startling and innovative move, the Wellcome Library in London is offering to pay the article-processing fees for open-access publication by authors whose research incorporates a substantive amount of information from the Wellcome collections.  Remember, the Wellcome has a very large collection of Sanskrit, Prakrit, Hindi, Persian, Sinhalese and Tibetan manuscripts and a large collection of Sanskrit and Hindi printed books and lithographs.  And the collections are by no means narrowly confined to medical topics, but cover all disciplines, with world-class strengths in tantra, Jainism, āyurveda, rasaśāstra and stotra.
