In our exit poll, it was heartening to see that over 75% of you now feel better equipped to deal with predatory academic practices as a result of the webinar, and 99% of you believe that these practices are a threat. More encouraging still, 99% of you have undertaken to read, disseminate and act on the report, including as advocates for its recommendations at institutional, national, regional and/or global level. Thank you. A reminder that the full and summary reports (in 7 languages) can be downloaded from our webpage at Combatting Predatory Academic Journals and Conferences (interacademies.org) <https://clicks.eventbrite.com/f/a/O7vpIBf6mfsA_DuolWG7YA~~/AAQxAQA~/RgRkFLi…> (noting that you'll need to click on the specific report links you are interested in to open/download them).

Combating predatory academic journals and conferences
by Subbiah Arunachalam 18 Mar '22

18 Mar '22

Friends, The Inter Academy Partnership has just released a report on Combating Predatory academic journals and conferences. Please see https://www.interacademies.org/sites/default/files/2022-03/1.%20Full%20repo… This report should be of interest to researchers and librarians everywhere, and especially India, as India is often referred to as the home for a large number of such journals and the UGC had to bring out a white list of journals. Best wishes.

Why are both UGC- CARE List of Journals and Good Academic Research Practices (GARP) Archaic?
by Vasanth 17 Mar '22

17 Mar '22

Dear Sir/Madam, This paper discusses the limitations of Good Academic Research Practices (GARP) and UGC-CARE List in engaging with the emerging scholarly open publishing platforms, specifically preprints. This paper throws some light on preprints and their role in accelerating science communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. The UGC’s opaqueness towards emerging open publishing platforms in its GARP document and propagating traditional scholarly publications through UGC-CARE List has also been deliberated.

Good practices for university open-access policies
by Subbiah Arunachalam 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Friends, It is a bad policy to surrender copyright to one's research papers to journal publishers. Please inform researchers - faculty and students and other scientific and technical staff - and administrators (Vice Chancellors, Directors, Principals, Deans, Heads of Departments, etc.) in your institutions that they could retain copyright to the papers they publish. Prof. Peter Suber of Harvard University recommends the Berkman Klein Center's Guide to good practices for university OA policies, which focuses on the rights-retention approach. Please visit http://bit.ly/goodoa . This guide, written and edited byPeter Suber and Stuart Shieber in consultation with many OA experts, is based on the type of rights-retention OA policy first adopted at Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and the University of Kansas. Policies of this kind have since been adopted at a wide variety of institutions <https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_re…> in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia, for example, at public and private institutions, large and small institutions, affluent and indigent institutions, research universities and liberal arts colleges, and at whole universities, schools within universities, and departments within schools. Can a journal reject a paper if the author wants to retain copyright? Says Prof. Peter Suber, "As far as I know, no publisher has ever rejected a submission just because it was covered by a Harvard-style rights-retention OA policy. There are at least 85 universities in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia with these kinds of rights-retention policies." The Guide is endorsed by many international organizations involved in scholarly communication, but by NONE so far from India. Indeed, it would be great if funding agencies such as DST, DBT, CSIR, UGC, ICAR, and ICMR and Academies such as INSA, IASc, NASI, NAAS, INAE, etc. endorse this Guide and make it widely known to individual researchers and institutions they support. Best wishes.

Research Discussion: Innovation Driven Business Sustainability
by Mohan Hr 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Dear all Please find an invitation for a research discussion on "Innovation Driven Business Sustainability" organised hosted by Pune University as a part of PhD viva voce of Major General T. M. Mhaisale, an author as well as a speaker at the book launch and webinar hosted in Jul 2021 by CSI, IEEE CS & ACM on Personality Development. Topic: Innovation Driven Business Sustainability Date: Thursday, 17th Mar 2022 Time: 2 pm to 3 pm IST Meeting link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86796596965?pwd=ZVFQNnRMWjJMVnlZd2NnNXhMLytRdz09 Meeting ID: 867 9659 6965 Passcode: 545683 Synopsis of the presentation Business sustainability is the buzzword nowadays, in the government as well as the corporate parlance. This is the pillar on which the businesses are poised to grow, remain future-ready and thrive. There are three main pillars of business sustainability in turn. These are : Planet, People, Profit in that order. Firms are required to innovate continuously in order to reinvent themselves. It is extremely important that the culture of internal innovation and entrepreneurship is assiduously nurtured. Appropriate strategies are required for the same. The world is caught into a cobweb of VUCA : Vulnerability, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. Under these circumstances, a strong and resilient Risk Management Framework, with a judicious combination of COSO framework (bottom-up) and ISO -31000 : 2018 (Top down) is a must. There is a feeling justified through research that the Risk Management Strategies when embedded with Innovation Processes will be a great boon for the Business Sustainability. In view of the ubiquitous decarbonization along with net zero targets, these assume a tremendous significance. The research scholar has made an attempt to study the these three elements in details: Business Sustainability, Innovation Processes and Risk Management Strategies and study their harmonious correlationship which will ensure Business Sustainability. These have been studied through Case Studies as well as formulation and testing of Hypotheses. About the presenter Major General T. M. Mhaisale, is pursuing his research at Savitribai Phule Pune University in the topic related to this concept: Innovation Driven Business Sustainability. He is Master of Technology in Computer Technology from IIT Delhi, MBA from Indira Gandhi Nehru Open University, Master of Management Studies from Osmania University. He has been doing a lot of work in Innovation Management and Business Sustainability. He is on the Faculty of Institute of Directors, New Delhi for these subjects. He has been a writer and has authored quite a few books on this subject. He has also authored a book on “The Ten Quotients: A complete guide to Personality Development".

Rights retention policy
by Subbiah Arunachalam 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Friends, I received this from Prof. Peter Suber. Let us work towards promoting rights retention policy in higher education institutions and all research performing institutions in India. - Arun ***** I agree with Arun that few publishers, if any, would reject a submission just because it comes with an author addendum. An author addendum is a proposed revision to the contract, which publishers can take or leave. Publishers can reject the addendum without rejecting the submission, and many do. I don't know of a single case in which the publisher rejected the submission itself because of the proposed addendum. However, I believe that some publishers are already on the record as desk-rejecting submissions that come with Plan-S-style rights-retention notices. Plan S will track these publishers in its Journal Checker Tool. As far as I know, no publisher has ever rejected a submission just because it was covered by a Harvard-style rights-retention OA policy. There are at least 85 universities in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia with these kinds of rights-retention policies. However, as a matter of law (not current practice or prediction), publishers may reject any submission for any reason.
