India will make a pitch for interlinking of national archives of G-20 countries to make available scientific papers published by researchers free-of-cost when chief scientific advisors of the multilateral platform meet at Ramnagar in Uttarakhand next week.

Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India Prof Ajay Kumar Sood will chair the G20- Chief Scientific Advisors' Roundtable, the first such initiative taken by the grouping, that will also deliberate on better response to future pandemics, tapping into traditional systems of medicine and setting up of a mechanism for continuous global science and technology policy dialogue.

"The idea is to have a national archive which is effective and have interoperability of the archives," Prof Sood told PTI in an interview.
