Symposium on 'Open Access to HSS research - Perspectives from Latin America and the United Kingdom'
by madhan muthu 08 Feb '21

08 Feb '21

*Dear Friends:* *You are invited.* *Symposium on 'Open Access to HSS research - Perspectives from Latin America and the United Kingdom'* Organised by Azim Premji University Date: Feb 17, 2021 Time: 06:30 PM India Registration: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ka4dkgmTT9e5VoJYzf19xA We look forward to your participation. Kindly share this invitation to all you think would be of interest. Host: Dr Venkat Nadella, DST-Centre for Policy Research, IISc, Bengaluru Speakers: Title: *Open Access in HSS in the UK - the conflict between big ideas and small communities* By Dr. Rebecca Darley ( Birkbeck, University of London) Rebecca was part of a project organised by the British Academy, a non-governmental representative body for HSS in the UK, to write a report about the possible impact of UK’s open access policy on HSS subjects. The report < https://bit.ly/3pXySm8>, which was published in 2014, resulted in some changes to the government policy. In this talk, Rebecca will briefly discuss the global and local context of open access debate and the specific forms of open access that the UK makes most use of. Also, she will talk about the role of small publishers, especially learned society journals, in UK HSS publishing and the unresolved conflict between ideological support for open access and the practicalities of publishing. Title: *Social Sciences and Humanities open access scholarly communications in a developing region - policies, initiatives and needed changes in research assessment (the case of Latin America)* By Dr. Dominique Babini and Dr. Laura Rovelli (CLACSO-Latin American Council of Social Sciences) In an international context of Sustainable Development Goals research agendas, and advances in open science policies and practices, SSH research produced and published within developing regions are an important contribution. Dominique Babini and Laura Rovelli will describe how Latin America has advanced in the past two decades with open access policies and initiatives that are collaborative, publicly-funded and non-profit, and the role of the Latin American Forum on Research Assessment (FOLEC-CLACSO) in the promotion of a much needed review of quality, grounded and relevant research evaluation procedures. -- Madhan, M -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Science Policy, Competition and Profits
by madhan muthu 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

https://www.indialegallive.com/column-news/open-science-policy-e-shodh-sind… As far as commercial publications are concerned, under the present laws, we will have to depend upon a more efficient and expanded version of E-ShodhSindhu. This would mean that the service should be available to any organisation at bulk subsidised rates in a cafeteria format. The charges could be indexed so that smaller bundles cost less and the charges increase progressively with the size of the bundle. In the meantime, the government can also set up a website where sources (national and international) providing free downloads of documents on different topics are listed. Meanwhile, we must be quite clear that Sci-Hub and Library Genesis are providing an enormously useful service to scholars all over the world. It will be a long time before any official agency in India will be able to provide a comparable service. The best we can hope for is that the court cases against them languish for as long as possible as they do for much less laudable causes. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
