Friends: I just listened to a talk by Prof. Thomas Pradeu, coordinator of the Institute for Philosophy in Biology and Medicine <https://www.philinbiomed.org/>, CNRS, on why science needs philosophy. Here is the link to the talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE03FDdCR-Y He talks about philosophy *in* science as distinct from philosophy *of* science. I want all members of this list who use or are interested in bibliometrics to listen to the talk. Prof. Pradeu has divided his talk (indeed the 2021 Annual Public Lecture at the Indian Academy of Sciences) into three parts, one of them devoted to bibliometrics. Prof. P Balaram, former director of IISc and former editor of *Current Science*, has often lamented that bibliometrics is being used in India, mostly by members of the LIS community, in ways bordering on the ridiculous and in ways the founder of citation indexing in science and the social sciences, Dr Garfield, would not have approved. Prof. Pradeu and colleagues have used bibliometrics (as one of many tools/approaches) brilliantly to show how philosophy can be used to advance science. The LIS community should be indebted to the Academy for having invited Prof. Pradeu to give the public lecture in this year's Annual Meeting and making the talk available as an excellently produced video recording. In 2018, they had invited the indefatigable crusader for making all knowledge open, Carl Malamud. Best wishes.

Hello everyone, I wanted to share an opportunity to give some input to the ReALM <https://www.oclc.org/realm/home.html> project about your organization's experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This feedback will help prevent duplication of resources and identify the high-priority information gaps to address. Below is a link to a completely voluntary, web-based form related to the possible content areas of the toolkit. *We would greatly appreciate 10 minutes of your time to complete the form based on you and your organization’s experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We also ask you to flag those topics you recommend as a priority area for the toolkit. Our toolkit editors will use your feedback to make internal decisions and investments creating the toolkit. The results will not be disseminated to the public. Thank you for your time and input!

UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science to member countries was adopted at its 41st session, in November 2021
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

The UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science was adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO at its 41st session, in November 2021. "UNESCO Recommendations are legal instruments in which “the General Conference formulates principles and norms for the international regulation of any particular question and invites the Member States to take whatever legislative or other steps may be required in conformity with the constitutional practice of each State and the nature of the question under consideration to apply the principles and norms aforesaid within their respective territories”. Emanating from the Organization's supreme governing body and hence possessing great authority, recommendations are intended to influence the development of national laws and practices." Download the full-text from https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379949.locale=en Watch a short video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3Wkvx_ZaFo It will be a game-changer, as open science regulations will have to be stipulated by the member countries through their national bodies, funders and regulators, including necessary legislative steps, towards open access, open data, open-source, open education, open peer review, open evaluation, citizen science, etc and bringing openness to the full research life cycle. It is a welcome stand taken by DST (Government of India) who included open science in their draft S&T recommendations and other departments/commissions would be asked to follow. ---------- Dr. J. K. VIJAYAKUMAR, Strategic Information Advisor, Office of the Provost, King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) https://academicaffairs.kaust.edu.sa/ https://repository.kaust.edu.sa/handle/10754/673046

Interesting post 28 Things Only People Who Love Books Would Understand 1. The unparalleled satisfaction that comes with organizing your bookshelf. 2. The endless lists of books to read next you keep on your computer and phone. 3. The inability to watch a movie without mentally (or, to everyone’s pleasure, vocally) comparing it to the book. 4. That tantalizing smell of a new book. 5. Having every surface in your house covered in books.
