---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Subbiah Arunachalam" <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, October 25, 2017 5:55 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- On behalf of the Open Access Week Activities Committee, DST-Centre for Policy Research at Indian Institute of Science is pleased to invite you to the Panel Discussion on "Institutional Open Access Policy" What Universities and Administrators Can Do to Promote Open Access? *Faculty Hall, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru* * 27 Oct 2017 (Friday) | 4:00 pm â 5:30 pm* Open Access seeks to return scholarly publishing to its original purpose: to spread knowledge and allow that knowledge to be built upon. Price barriers should not prevent students, researchers (or anyone) from getting access to research they need. Open Access, and the open availability and searchability of scholarly research that it entails, will have a significant positive impact on everything from education to the practice of medicine to the ability of entrepreneurs to innovate. *Panelists * Prof. Satyajit Mayor (Director, The National Centre for Biological Sciences) Prof. Jayant M. Modak (Deputy Director, Indian Institute of Science) Mr. Sunil Abraham (Executive Director, Centre for Internet and Society) Mr. N V Sathyanarayana (Chairman & Managing Director, Informatics India Ltd) Mr. Madhan Muthu (Visiting Scientist, DST-Centre for Policy Research, IISc) *All are Welcome* Event Poster : https://iiscdstcpr.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/open- access-panel-discussion.pdf -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

The DST-Centre for Policy Research at Indian Institute of Science is pleased to invite you to a half-day event on "Eugene Garfield and Scientometrics" Eugene Garfield in Memoriam Faculty Hall, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru 30 Oct 2017 | 10 am - 12.30 pm This event is to celebrate the life and work of a man who not only had the imagination, pragmatic judgment, and immense energy required to invent, produce, and develop a useful tool for a seemingly routine but fundamental task in science, viz. searching the literature, but also had a deep intuitive sense of the social, cultural, and cognitive structures latent in the practice of science. With his visionary enthusiasm, Garfield saw in his creations a better science for society and the ideal of a unified body of knowledge accessible to all. The two speakers, between them, will cover the impact of the man and his work on science and scientists as well as on the way performance in science is evaluated. We will also get to hear about how Garfield evolved from humble beginnings to a businessman, scholar and a polymath. Come listen to the fascinating story of the man whose creations have transformed the fabric of science. Talks: “In Quest of the World Brain: The Life and Work of the Pragmatic Polymath Eugene Garfield” by David A. Pendlebury “Eugene Garfield and His Impact on Science and Scientists” by P. Balaram About the speakers: David A. Pendlebury joined the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), now Clarivate Analytics, in 1983. He began as a translator and indexer and later worked with ISI’s founder Eugene Garfield on a variety of research projects.
