Industrial Crop

Industrial Crop is a cultivated plant that is used as raw material by any one of various branches of industry. They are divided into several groups according to the product obtained. Starch-bearing crops, which contain starch in their tubers, include potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams. Sugar-bearing plants contain sugar in their stems sugarcane, sugar maple, roots, sugar beet, or flowers gomuti and wine palms. Oil crops-plants in whose seeds and fruits vegetable oils accumulate-include the sunflower, peanut, soybean, castor-oil plant, rape, sesame, mustard, oil flax, coconut palm, African oil palm, olive, and tung. In essential-oil crops, essential oils accumulate in the aboveground shoots mint, geranium, East Indian basil, flowers, essential-oil rose, lavender, tuberose, lilac, fruits, coriander, anise, fennel, or roots and rootstocks, vetiver, iris. Textile crops, including best crops, contain textile fibers in their stems common flax, jute, ambary, hemp, leave New Zealand flax, seeds, cotton, or fruits ceiba. Open access to the scientific literature means the removal of barriers (including price barriers) from accessing scholarly work. There are two parallel “roads” towards open access: Open Access articles and self-archiving. Open Access articles are immediately, freely available on their Web site, a model mostly funded by charges paid by the author (usually through a research grant). The alternative for a researcher is “self-archiving” (i.e., to publish in a traditional journal, where only subscribers have immediate access, but to make the article available on their personal and/or institutional Web sites (including so-called repositories or archives)), which is a practice allowed by many scholarly journals. Open Access rises practical and policy questions for scholars, publishers, funders, and policymakers alike, including what the return on investment is when paying an article processing fee to publish in an Open Access articles, or whether investments into institutional repositories should be made and whether self-archiving should be made mandatory, as contemplated by some funders.
