Dear Friends My colleague received a mail from JSTOR which is reproduced here.Kindly go through it and give a clarification/explain what this "indian tax board".Let me know whether 15% of payment has to without while making payment for subscribing e-resources? mail from JSTOR representative is here... "Thank you for remitting payment for renewal access to JSTOR journal content. We greatly appreciate your continued support and are delighted that you will continue to provide access to high quality content to your students, faculty, and researchers through the JSTOR platform. I am contacting you because we noticed that you have a credit on your account in the amount of $140.30 USD. You can use this credit toward new content such as additional journal packages, e-books or current issues. We would also like to learn more about how this credit may have occurred. We assume that institutions in India must withhold 15% their payments for electronic resources to be remitted to the Indian Tax Board. It appears your institution did not withhold this amount. Is your institution tax exempt or is there some other reason the amount was not withheld? I look forward to your feedback so that we might better serve you and other institutions in India. Also let me know if I can provide you with more information on additional content that may be of interest to you" Jasimudeen s Kerala www.jasim.in -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

http://arxiv-web3.library.cornell.edu/abs/1406.4331 Interesting paper: The dark side of Open Access in Google and Google Scholar: the case of Latin-American repositories. "Since repositories are a key tool in making scholarly knowledge open access, determining their presence and impact on the Web is essential, particularly in Google (search engine par excellence) and Google Scholar (a tool increasingly used by researchers to search for academic information). The few studies conducted so far have been limited to very specific geographic areas (USA), which makes it necessary to find out what is happening in other regions that are not part of mainstream academia, and where repositories play a decisive role in the visibility of scholarly production. The main objective of this study is to ascertain the presence and visibility of Latin American repositories in Google and Google Scholar through the application of page count and visibility indicators. For a sample of 137 repositories, the results indicate that the indexing ratio is low in Google, and virtually nonexistent in Google Scholar; they also indicate a complete lack of correspondence between the repository records and the data produced by these two search tools." ============== Dr P Vyasamoorthy President: Society for Serving Seniors 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Telengana LL 040-27846631 / Mobile: 9490804278 Did not know that Mumbai Samachar (Gujarathi) is the oldest (192 years) surviving Daily in India -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
