Registration closed: Plagiarism workshop at Jnu on April 23
by Ramesh C Gaur 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

Dear All, Many thanks for huge response to the call for participation in National Workshop on Plagiarism: Issues and Challenges to be held on 23rd April, 2014 at Convention Centre, JNU. We have already registered over 400 participants. Therefore, the registration is now closed. There will be no spot registration on the day of workshop. With best regards, Ramesh ************************************ Dr. Ramesh C Gaur PGDCA, MLISc,Ph.D. Fulbright Scholar (Virginia Tech, USA) University Librarian Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU) New Meharuli Road, New Delhi - 110067 Tele +91-11-26742605, 26704551 Fax : +91-11-26741603 Email: rcgaur(a)mail.jnu.ac.in ;rcgaur66(a)gmail.com URL: www.jnu.ac.in Brief Profile: http://www.jnu.ac.in/Library/RameshCGaur.htm Subject: Plagiarism workshop at Jnu on April 23 Central Library, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi is organising National Workshop on Plagiarism: Issues and Challenges on 23rd April, 2014 Auditorium-I, JNU Convention Centre Supported by INFLIBENT & BALANI INFOTECH 23rd April is observed as Word Book and Copyright Day in order to honor and acknowledge the authors and their contributions –books and other intellectual content. The UNESCO establishes 23 April a red letter day for the significance it holds for world literature. It was the day in year 1616 when Cervantes and Shakespeare left for their heavenly abode, though the fact is not unanimously accepted among the scholars. Strangely the day happens to be associated with life (and death) of many renowned littérateurs such as Maurice Druon, K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, JosepPla and Manuel MejíaVallej. Celebrating the Day, UNESCO aims to promote, support, joys of reading, publishing, acknowledging and protecting the contributions of authors through adherence to copyright laws by one and all. In consonance with the same spirit, the Central Library, JNU in collaboration with INFLIBNET and M/S Balani InfoTech will organize a daylong workshop for the research scholars of the university. It is hoped that the national seminar will provide a forum to the experts and researchers to deliberate upon the issues related to plagiarism and copyright laws. The proceedings of the Day commensurate with the mission of Central Library, which promotes scholarly communication as per the norms and ethics of the academic world. It is well accepted that honesty is the basic policy of academic or scientific writing. Unfortunately, the widely rampant lapse is plagiarism which occurs intentionally or unintentionally. As the issue of plagiarism is assuming greater concern, universities worldwide, are taking concerted efforts to deter, prevent and discipline plagiarism. The scholars or researchers in academic world are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity and avoid all forms of writing which can be considered as plagiarism. Plagiarism has been defined as taking someone else’s words, ideas and passing them off as one’s own. It is an act of using the language and thoughts of others without acknowledging them. It tantamount to misappropriation, infringement, piracy, counterfeiting or academic theft or fraud. There are ten most common types of plagiarism , as mentioned on the website ofplagiarism.org,which are listed as follows: clone: Submitting another’s work, word-for-word, as one’s own; CTRL-C has significant portions of text from a single source without alterations ; Find – replace -changes key words and phrases but retains the essential content of the source; Remix - Paraphrases from multiple sources, made to fit together; Recycle borrows generously from the writer’s previous work without citation; Hybrid Combines perfectly cited sources with copied passages without citation; Mash up - mixes copied material from multiple sources; 404 error- includes citations to non-existent or inaccurate information about sources; Aggregator includes proper citation to sources but the paper contains almost no original work; Re-tweet Includes proper citation, but relies too closely on the text’s original wording and/or structure. Spotlighting the causes at times the (pseudo) researchers may lack complete understanding of the subject as a result may be hesitant to undertake original research writing. The researchers may be unaware of the importance of academic honesty and publishing ethics. They may be ignorant of the consequences which may befall them when they get caught. At times, the researchers may be tempted to take short cuts and end up plagiarising. They may lack the ability to express their views in their own language. They may lack the ability to quote, paraphrase and summarize the sources. The researchers may not be proficient in assimilating and integrating the views of other scholars in their own writings. They may be unaware of the immense relevance of the references and citations and how to list them, which they have consulted and used. Citations and references are the notations in the text of a paper which identify the source of the authors’ claims, other research and theories mentioned in the paper. References serve as a pivotal link in the scholarly communication which enable the readers to investigate in more depth the details of a given thought or idea. Self-plagiarism is considered equally unacceptable in academic world. It is copying material which one has previously contributed and published and projecting it as new contribution and getting it published. It is an act of literary theft and is prolific in the scholarly world. Self-plagiarism is considered unethical because the journal space is exceptionally limited, where researchers compete with one another to get published after passing through rigorous process of peer review. The editors and referees have to spend considerable time in screening and evaluating the authors’ manuscripts. If the same manuscript is submitted twice it leads to duplication of content, efforts and dissipation of energy. Objectives The workshop is unique, first-of-its-kind in India, which aims to be a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing on issue of plagiarism which is highly relevant to all the stakeholders of scholarly communication. The workshop will have eminent experts from industry, academia, law as resource persons, library professionals who have been early adopters of tools and technologies which are used to detect and prevent plagiarism. This workshop would be a rare opportunity for researchers, students, and Library& Information Science Professionals to gain knowledge of various facets of plagiarism. The day-long seminar will inform and educate the researchers about the importance of academic honesty, plagiarism and its repercussions across the scholarly communication. It will sensitize the researchers towards the consequences which may befall due to intentional or unintentional plagiarism or self plagiarism. It will educate the researchers about how copyright laws and plagiarism rules apply to using material from the Internet. It will also educate the researchers about the relevance of providing accurate citations and references in the scholarly communication.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Increasing the usage of e-books - Suggestions - UoM Experience
by Ishwar Goudar 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hello Parinita Samant and Other Professionals, I have some suggestions for increasing usage of E-Books by users accessing through Institutional IP range and/or when they are outside (residence, hostels, outstation including abroad). Some of the steps we took at UoM, increased usage of all E-resources geometrically (including E-books). Basically it is the question of effective ERM (Selection, acquisition, organisation, marketing, access and services). Few suggestions will address your specific query also. 1. First of all selection of e-books should be users driven and not vendor/publishers driven (Pick and Choose Model rather than bundled offers). 2. If possible negotiate for supply of one copy of print versions of the books licensed. 3. Prefer perpetual ownership purchase model. Even aggregators, marketing and giving access to e-books of many publishers facilitate perpetual access. 4. One can depend upon publishers' platform both for searching and accessing full texts. Second option is to get both full texts of books and metadata, use institutional server and software commercial or OSS to be on our own. Usually publishers won't give their concerned software to be uploaded on our server. 5. IMPORTANT: We at UOM, apart from giving links to publishers' platforms, have collected MARC records of e-books purchased from different publishers and uploaded on our Library OPAC. This facilitates our users to search not only both print and e-books simultaneously, but allows us to search e-books of our interest across different publishers at one go. The PDF links given take us to the contents page of the book we want from publishers site, from where one can download the full texts. This will also avoid noise, as publishers platforms throw more books not licensed than the ones licensed by us. What ever hits we get through our OPAC, we are sure of having full texts. You may like to visit our OPAC (http://libcatmysore-koha.informindia.co.in/) One can restrict the search to print or e-books or search both at one go. We have also accessioned e-books using different codes, say EBSP for Springer E-books. If we search by EBSP in the field Barcode under Advanced Search, the OPAC will list all Springer books. One can use this for searching books on a subject by a particular publisher like Wiley, T & F, CRC Press, etc. 6. The new developments like Federation Systems like FEDGATE of Informatics (India) and Discovery Service of EBSCO also give good solutions to give access to both in-house and external contents/collections. 7. Access from outside: One can use OCLC's Ezproxy or similar solutions to give authenticated access to our genuine users when they are out of our IP range without violating publishers interest. 8. MARKETING: Whatever may be technological solution, marketing/orientation/ awareness programs are a must to increase usage of any kind of e-resources. We at UoM conducted E-Resources awareness programs at each department and library multiple times, The other modes include display on notice boards, e-mail communications to all users, regular orientation programs for students during beginning of semesters and more than anything else informal awareness programs at our Digital Information Resource Centre, housing about 350 systems 9. During 2012, our usage of E-Resources of INFLIBNET/INFONET in terms of downloads was fantastic with 36% share of usage by 8 universities in Karnataka. Some of the Universities like JNU, Delhi University too have achieved a lot in terms of usage of e-resources. It is worth while, if they too share their ideas and strategies used. Any comments. additions and suggestions will help all professionals and there by our academic and scientific community. Regards. - - - - - - - - - - - - Dr. I.R.N. Goudar Ex.

To: naglaxman <naglaxman(a)gmail.com> Cc: "nmlis(a)yahoogroups.com" <nmlis(a)yahoogroups.com> Dear All Iam Trupti Parida. Last year focus energy limited Mahipalpur had called me for interview with some other candidates.The way they had conducted interview was really horrible and even the higher authority was interviewing us with hr,mechanics and other professionals together in a room. They were not followed interview ethics and standards. As they are called us for the post of librarian they must understand that its not a clerical post and a librarian is not their slave or subordinate. The manager who was interviewing did not know how to speak and behave with the candidates. Last they were only offering very nominal salary say 8000 or less for the post. So it is my humble submission to all the professionals please bring this type of issue into public forum and ban those organisations I think librarians are responsible for degrading their self respect and dignity by compromising their quality with low minimum salaries and standards. SO I REQUEST ALL OF YOU TO REJECT THIS ORGANISATION AND NEVER GO TO ATTEND INTERVIEW THERE THIS TIME AND IN FUTURE . THIS IS COMPLETE WASTAGE OF OUR TIME AND MONEY BECAUSE THE FARM HOUSE WHERE WE SUPPOSE TO WORK IS IN INTERIOR AREA AND NO PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION LIKE AUTO TAXI ALSO HESITATE TO GO THERE.LAST TIME I HAD FACED THIS PROBLEM . I REQUEST OTHERS MEMBERS THOSE WHO HAD ATTENDED THEIR INTERVIEW LAST TIME PLEASE COME FORWARD AND SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE TO SAVE THE TIME AND MENTAL TORTURE OF OTHER FELLOW PROFESSIONALS.

ANOTHER CASE OF FRAUD IN SCIENCE
by Ragaavendra R 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Dear Moderator pls circulate. ANOTHER CASE OF FRAUD IN SCIENCE Just as the chapter on Hwang Woo Suk, a South Korean stem cell researcher and one of the biggest known research fraudsters, came to an end recently, another major fraud by a Japan-based stem cell researcher has taken centre-stage. Two "path-breaking" papers published on January 30 in Nature by a team led by 30-year-old Haruko Obokata of the Riken Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe claimed to have made the process of reprogramming adult mice cells to pluripotent stem cells (capable of becoming any of the specialised adult tissue) very simple. Also, by being able to contribute to the formation of placental tissue, the pluripotent stem cells so produced were shown to be more versatile than even embryonic stem cells. But a torrent of questions on falsification, manipulation and duplication of images and plagiarism were raised days after the publication. Scientists were also unable to replicate the study in their labs; one of the co-authors of the papers failed in his attempts post-publication. With the papers and Ms. Obokata coming under intense scrutiny, researchers unearthed a few unethical practices in her thesis as well - about 20 pages of her thesis, completed in 2011, bear a striking similarity to information posted in the National Institutes of Health website. Also, two images used with one paper, produced through an experiment completely different from the published work, appear in her thesis. But the most damaging factor is that the two stem-cell lines produced from a particular strain of mouse have been found to come from different strains. Unfortunately, for a fraud of this magnitude, the investigation by a six-member committee constituted by the Riken Center did not measure up to the standards one would normally come to expect of such institutions. The scope of the examination was limited - only six issues concerning image manipulation and duplication and plagiarism were scrutinised but the core issue of examining the veracity of the study was skirted. While dismissing the four problems as "innocent errors," the committee judged the manipulation of an image and the use of an image from her doctoral thesis as deliberate attempts to falsify data. Though it has labelled her actions as "scientific misconduct," the committee has only confirmed what is abundantly clear. Unlike Riken, the Seoul National University did brilliantly in probing Mr. Hwang's case. With Nature yet to conclude its investigation, Ms. Obokata planning to appeal the judgment and another committee being set up to determine punishment, the last word has not been said. But Ms. Obokata has surely not read the journal's elaborate points of information for authors on the matter of image manipulation, which was added after the Hwang episode.

Wellcome Library and NLM establish agreement to make 150 years of biomedical journals freely available online
by madhuresh.singhal 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Dear All, Wellcome Library and NLM are collaborating to make 150 years of biomedical journals freely available online. However complete list of titles is not declared yet but part of the project will include Mental Health journals as well as "Indian Medical Gazette". Citation will be added article level in PubMed and full text will be available in PubMed Central and its European counterpart. Please see below for full detail. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wellcome Library and NLM establish agreement to make 150 years of biomedical journals freely available online Representatives of the US National Library of Medicine (NLM), a component of the National Institutes of Health, and the Wellcome Library have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together to make thousands of complete back issues of historically significant biomedical journals freely available online. The terms of the agreement include a donation of £750,000 ($1.2 million) to the NLM that will support coordination of the three-year project to scan original materials from NLM's collection at the article level, and the Wellcome Library's work to secure copyright clearances and permissions for electronic deposit from publishers. NLM will undertake conservation of the original material to ensure its preservation for future generations. NLM is authorised to accept donations in support of its mission. Key journals charting the development of modern medicine over the last 150 years will be digitised in their entirety and made available on the National Institutes of Health life sciences repository PubMed Central (PMC) and its European counterpart, Europe PMC. The project builds on the Medical Journal Backfiles Digitisation Project (2004-2010), and will contribute substantially to the current PMC archive of over 3 million articles from medical journals. Part of the project will concentrate on mental health journals, supporting a major archive digitisation programme also being undertaken by the Wellcome Library. Journals to be digitised include 'Mental Health', 'Mental Hygiene' and the 'Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology'. Other journals have been selected for their general relevance, such as the 'Indian Medical Gazette', the 'British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review' and the 'Transactions of the Epidemiology Society of London'. Donald A B Lindberg, Director of the NLM, said "This is a wonderful step forward in our continuing partnership with the Wellcome Trust to preserve and make freely available important biomedical literature for research, education, and learning. It is an example of a truly useful collaboration, and NLM is grateful to the Wellcome for its generosity." Simon Chaplin, Head of the Wellcome Library, and Jeffrey S Reznick, Chief of the NLM's History of Medicine Division, worked together to arrange the partnership in cooperation with their respective teams. "We are delighted to partner with NLM to make these important archives freely available to users across the world," said Chaplin. "It is crucial that digitised content can be found and used easily, and PubMed Central, and its European counterpart, Europe PMC, are at the top of the list for anyone searching for biomedical journals." Reznick said: "This partnership will benefit generations of individuals who wish to learn about biomedical history, the thousands who use PMC regularly today and the many more tomorrow who will discover and use its rich content to study the past for the benefit of the present and the future."

Mandating OA is not bad after all
by Subbiah Arunachalam 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Friends: He who pays the piper can call the tune. The Wellcome Trust did exactly that. The Trust stipulated that those who receive grants for research must make the resulting research papers free to read online. i.e., open access. But the compliance rate was rather poor. Now the Trust has clamped down on open access. Funding for Those who do not comply would be withheld, they announced and then the compliance rate improved dramatically. See http://www.nature.com/news/uk-funder-explains-clamp-down-on-open-access-1.1… There are some eminent Indian scientists who are reluctant to mandate OA and say it would be interfering with the individual scientist's freedom. But the NIH in the US and the Welcome Trust in the UK and many universities in the West have mandated OA. Regards.

Increasing access to scholarly information

Friends: Here is an interesting news story from the US on a collaborative effort to promote new *digital access to scholarly works for students, faculty and the broader public*. Something we in India should also be doing. Please visit http://news.vanderbilt.edu/2014/04/mellon-library-grant/ Unfortunately most public functionaries and apex institutions in India seem to be either indifferent to the very idea of open access or even unaware of its benefits. Both Latin America and China are way ahead of India. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

FUNDERS PUNISH OPEN-ACCESS DODGERS
by Ragaavendra R 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Dear Moderator pls circulate this. FUNDERS PUNISH OPEN-ACCESS DODGERS For years, two of the world's largest research funders - the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Wellcome Trust in the United Kingdom - have issued a steady stream of incentives to coax academics to abide by their open-access policies. Now they are done with just dangling carrots. Both institutions are bringing out the sticks: cautiously and discreetly cracking down on researchers who do not make their papers publicly available. Neither agency would name those who have been sanctioned. But the London-based Wellcome Trust says that it has withheld grant payments on 63 occasions in the past year because papers resulting from the funding were not open access. And the NIH, in Bethesda, Maryland, says that it has delayed some continuing grant awards since July 2013 because of non-compliance with open-access policies, although the agency does not know the exact numbers. FOR COMPLETE READ AND REFERENCE LINK:http://www.nature.com/news/funders-punish-open-access-dodgers-1.15007?… DISPATCHER NOTE: Is it possible to expect here similar kind of action from government funded researchers to make their results publicly available?.

With regards HR Mohan =================================================== Computer Society of India, Chennai Chapter IEEE Computer Society, Madras IEEE Professional Communication Society, Madras Announces One Day Workshop on Avoiding the Risks of Plagiarism in Research Publication On Saturday :: 3rd May 2014 :: 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m Registration at 09.30 a.m. At Seminar Hall, CSI Education Directorate, Taramani, Chennai - 600113 This is a part of "CSI at 50 - Celebrating Golden Jubilee" Programme Series. A research publication brings immense credit to the researcher(s), their research supervisor(s) and their institution(s). However, plagiarism that creeps in publications widely now in our context, often unintentionally, presents great risks to them and damage their credibility and reputation. Plagiarism - reusing someone else's work and making it appear as their own without proper citations - is an unacceptable and unethical practice in research and other forms of writing. It may also result in copyright infringement subjecting the author to legal action. Professional institutions such as IEEE blacklist the authors who plagiarise their publications endangering their career. Moreover, it is now easier to detect plagiarism, autonomously. Therefore, it is vital for students, authors and their institutions to take specific measures to avoid plagiarism. The rise of plagiarism in this digital era is primarily due to lack of awareness of what is considered as plagiarism, how it can get into a publication, the risks it presents and methods of avoiding it. This one-day workshop is intended to create the desired awareness among the stakeholder about plagiarism and outline measures to prevent it and, thereby, to help them safeguard from the plagiarism risks.
