In order to continue strengthening its clearing house function the Communication and Information Sector of UNESCO has joined forces with The International Centre for the registration of serial publications – CIEPS, which is a Category II center under the auspices of UNESCO, to create ROAD.  ROAD (The Directory of Open Access Scholarly Resources) is a global, and multidisciplinary system which gives access to a variety of Open Access scholarly resources such as journals, academic repositories, conference proceedings, etc. Currently in beta version which will be fully developed by the end of 2014, its aim is to facilitate the access to those resources and to help assessing their editorial quality and their usage within the scholarly community.
