Important Update Regarding Recent Spam Message
by Francis Jayakanth 26 Jul '24

26 Jul '24

Dear Members, I am writing to let you know about a recent incident on our discussion list. It has come to our attention that a message containing threatening and inappropriate content was posted by an individual as lis-forum-owner(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. The message claimed to have access to sensitive information and made fraudulent demands. As you know, LIS-Forum was moved to a hosting platform called MailmanLists about a month ago. After contacting the MailmanLists support team about the spam email, they informed us that the issue was linked to a problem with the server's DNS, which allowed this spam email to bypass our moderation process. The IISc network team manages the LIS-Forum server's DNS records. We recommend that all members remain vigilant and avoid engaging with any suspicious emails or links. If you receive any further spam or have concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to maintain the integrity of the Forum. Best regards, Francis

Institutional Journal Index (IJI) beta version is released
by STM STMet 2024 22 Jul '24

22 Jul '24

The Institutional Journal Index (IJI) beta version is released now. You can access it at www.ijiweb.net https://www.ijiweb.net About IJI Many databases, directories, and indexes capture the global research output. While many journals are indexed in more than one index, some journals are not attracted by any index or database. Institutional journals, including some in-house research journals (particularly those that publish research papers), are excluded from directories and indexes. The research published in these journals represents local interest and Indigenous research and reports significant findings. However, these journals remain invisible despite their acceptable contribution. The IJI captures such invisible research and makes it available on its platform. We do not measure or judge the quality of papers for inclusion but use a few minimum quality thresholds before entering them into IJI. IJI is an article-level index of research journals published by institutions such as colleges, universities and laboratories. It is available on an open-access platform. -----------------------------
