A webinar of interest to STEM librarians
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

Friends, This webinar on S2O to be held on 6 November may be of interest to most STEM librarians. Please see : https://bit.ly/registration-nov24 and https://www.oaspa.org/events/wayfinders-4-a-deep-dive-into-s2o-subscribe-to… . The S2O model for serials pioneered by Annual Reviews Inc. about five years ago and the D2O model pioneered by the MIT Press follow the Gandhian ideal of Trusteeship. Those who can afford to pay pay enough so those who cannot pay also enjoy the benefits. Only a few subscribers to cover the costs, but the whole world can read. That is one model of open access. India being the third largest producer of STEM publications and having aspirations of becoming a scientific superpower, it is only fair we support such initiatives as well as other existing earlier initiatives providing Green open access such as *arXiv*. [I understand that a few Indian institutions, e.g. Matscience , Chennai, do support *arXiv*, but not as many as would be commensurate with the size of our physics community and their research output.] -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

When researchers pay to publish: Results from a survey on APCs in four countries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 20 Oct '24

20 Oct '24

Friends, This paper may be of interest to many of you. It would be nice if some PhD student could carry out a similar survey on paying to publish among Indian researchers (in both STEM and HSS). This study surveyed authors in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa. https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.12144 Unfortunately none of us knows for sure how much India is spending annually on APC paid to overseas publishers and how much of it is from the taxpayers, although some people attempted to GUESS it. With warm regards, Arun

Re: The B&M Gates Foundation's new OA Policy
by Meghana Sanjeeva 17 Oct '24

till research assesment parameters dont change people will continue with APC Publishers will find new ways like big words Transformative Agreements These are now glorified by Institutions From: Subbiah Arunachalam via LIS-Forum <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> Sent: Wed, 16 Oct 2024 16:44:32 To: LIS-Forum <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> Subject: [LIS-Forum] The B&M Gates Foundation's new OA Policy Friends, If you have not seen it before, here are the main points of the new OA Policy of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation: https://openaccess.gatesfoundation.org/open-access-policy/2025-open-access-…. Funded Manuscripts Will Be Available. As soon as possible and to the extent feasible, Funded Manuscripts shall be published as a preprint in a preprint server recognized by the foundation or preapproved preprint server which applies a sufficient level of scrutiny to submissions. Accepted articles shall be deposited immediately upon publication in PubMed Central (PMC), or in another openly accessible repository, with proper metadata tagging identifying Gates funding. In addition, grantees shall disseminate Funded Manuscripts as described in their funding agreements with the foundation, including as described in any proposal or Global Access commitments.Dissemination of Funded Manuscripts Will Be On “Open Access” Terms. All Funded Manuscripts, including any subsequent updates to key conclusions, shall be available immediately, without any embargo, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) or an equivalent license. This will permit all users to copy, redistribute, transform, and build on the material in any medium or format for any purpose (including commercial) without further permission or fees being required.Gates Grantees Will Retain Copyright. Grantees shall retain sufficient copyright in Funded Manuscripts to ensure such Funded Manuscripts are deposited into an open-access repository and published under the CC-BY 4.0 or equivalent license.Underlying Data Will Be Accessible Immediately. The Foundation requires that underlying data supporting the Funded Manuscripts shall be made accessible immediately and as open as possible upon availability of the Funded Manuscripts, subject to any applicable ethical, legal, or regulatory requirements or restrictions. All Funded Manuscripts must be accompanied by an Underlying Data Availability Statement that describes where any primary data, associated metadata, original software, and any additional relevant materials or information necessary to understand, assess, and replicate t he Funded Manuscripts findings in totality can be found. Grantees are encouraged to adhere to the FAIR principles to improve the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reuse of digital assets.The Foundation Will Not Pay Article Processing Charges (APC). Any publication fees are the responsibility of the grantees and their co-authors.Compliance Is A Requirement of Funding. This Open Access policy applies to all Funded Manuscripts, whether the funding is in whole or in part. Compliance will be continuously reviewed, and grantees and authors will be contacted when they are non-compliant.As appropriate, Grantees should include the following acknowledgment and notice in Funded Manuscripts:“This work was supported, in whole or in part, by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation [Grant number]. The conclusions and opinions expressed in this work are those of the author(s) alone and shall not be attributed to the Foundation. Under the grant conditions of the Foundation, a Cr eative Commons Attribution 4.0 License has already been assigned to the Author Accepted Manuscript version that might arise from this submission. Please note works submitted as a preprint have not undergone a peer review process.”Please note that (1) the first announcement of any new finding resulting from Gates funding must be through PREPRINT(S), and (2). No APC can be paid out of the funds. Why can't the Govt of India agencies funding R&D insist on these conditions ('Preprints first' and 'No APC')? Why can't Indian researchers say good bye to commercial journals charging APC?
