Indian Maps to Soon Hit the Web: NATMO By IANS Published: 10th September 2015 04:52 PM Last Updated: 10th September 2015 04:52 PM KOLKATA: The National Atlas and Thematic Mapping Organisation (NATMO) is developing a digital library and within a year people would have access to an e-version of Indian maps, the department of science and technology announced here on Thursday. "NATMO is developing a digital library and the proposal is under consideration by the DST. It will be implemented soon," Ashutosh Sharma, secretary in the department of science and technology said during the 60th anniversary celebrations of NATMO. The organisation is engaged in compilation of the national atlas of India in Hindi, English and other regional languages, as well as preparation of thematic maps based on socio-economic, physical, cultural, environmental, demographic and other issues. Sharma said thematic maps would be available in digital version within a year. This also includes launch of web applications of location-based services of the maps prepared by NATMO. In addition to providing technology foresight to NATMO, Sharma said a committee of scientific experts would be formed to develop a scientific vision. "The committee would serve as a scientific interface between DST and NATMO to decide in which direction we should be moving. It will be formed of experts in the area and who also have vision about the future. It will help sensitise them to digital platforms and shift technologies in that direction," Sharma said. According to NATMO director Bhoop Singh, maps and data will be put in the open-access domain within a few months. "NATMO products should be in convergence with the government's schemes and not in isolation," Singh added. http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/Indian-Maps-to-Soon-Hit-the-Web-NATM… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

WIKIPEDIANS REACH OUT TO ACADEMICS
by Ragaavendra R 11 Sep '15

11 Sep '15

WIKIPEDIANS REACH OUT TO ACADEMICS Wikipedia is among the most frequently visited websites in the world, and one of the most popular places to tap into the world's scientific and medical information. But scientists themselves are generally wary of it, because it can be edited by anyone, regardless of their level of expertise. At a meeting in London last week, the non-profit website's volunteer editors reached out to scientists to enlist their help and to bridge the gap between the online encyclopaedia and the research community. "A lot of academics have the impression that because anyone can edit, that means it's a Wild West," says Martin Poulter at the University of Oxford's Bodleian Libraries, UK, and an organizer of the meeting. "But Wikipedia is a community of ultra-pedants who care about facts being right."

Fwd: Predatory Publishing: A Modest Proposal
by Subbiah Arunachalam 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 8:23 AM Subject: Predatory Publishing: A Modest Proposal To: LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu From: Richard Poynder <richard.poynder(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 14:34:33 +0100 What many now refer to as predatory publishing first came to my attention 7 years ago, when I interviewed a publisher who — I had been told — was bombarding researchers with invitations to submit papers to, and sit on the editorial boards of, the hundreds of new OA journals it was launching. Since then I have undertaken a number of other such interviews, and with each interview the allegations have tended to become more worrying — e.g. that the publisher is levying article-processing charges but not actually sending papers out for review, that it is publishing junk science, that it is claiming to be a member of a publishing organisation when in reality it is not a member, that it is deliberately choosing journal titles that are the same, or very similar, to those of prestigious journals (or even directly cloning titles) in order to fool researchers into submitting papers to it etc. etc. The number of predatory publishers continues to grow year by year, and yet far too little is still being done to address the issue. Discussion of the problem invariably focuses on the publishers. But in order to practise their trade predatory publishers depend on the co-operation of researchers, not least because they have to persuade a sufficient number to sit on their editorial boards in order to have any credibility. Without an editorial board a journal will struggle to attract many submissions. Is it time to approach the problem from a different direction?
