by H KRISHNAN kallada 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

Dear Sir and Esteemed Members, I am writing to seek a small favour from all of you. As an integral part of my project, *I find myself in need of Acquisition metadata / Acquisition field names associated with LMS software, with a specific focus on * *'Evergreen' <https://evergreen-ils.org/> *and * 'Newgenlib <https://sourceforge.net/projects/newgenlib/>'.* Despite my best efforts, the search for authentic acquisition metadata has proven to be an arduous task, rendering my attempts futile. Regrettably, I find myself at a juncture where this request stands as my last recourse to shed light on the matter. If any esteemed member within our fraternity is currently utilizing either of these software solutions, I kindly request you to reach out to me at your earliest convenience. You can contact me via email at *'harikrishnan(a)drtc.isibang.ac.in <harikrishnan(a)drtc.isibang.ac.in>'* or *'jsharikrish(a)gmail.com <jsharikrish(a)gmail.com>'*. Your assistance in this matter would be immensely valuable for the successful completion of my project. Your cooperation and assistance in this matter would be invaluable and greatly appreciated, contributing significantly to the successful completion of my project. Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours sincerely, Harikrishnan J S Research Associate DRTC, ISI- Bangalore Mob: 7356758702 Email: harikrishnan(a)drtc.isibang.ac.in

The Leiden Ranking
by Subbiah Arunachalam 03 Feb '24

Friends, Please visit https://open.leidenranking.com/ for the New Leiden Ranking (based on OpenAlex, an open-access database). "The Leiden Ranking provides indicators of scientific impact, collaboration, and open access publishing. Size matters when comparing universities: performance can be viewed from an absolute or a relative perspective (e.g., the *number* versus the *percentage* of highly cited publications). That is why size-dependent and size-independent indicators are consistently presented together in the Leiden Ranking. This highlights that both types of indicators need to be taken into account."
