Friends: I just visited the cluster map of Open Access News hits. Most readers of Open Access News are in Western Europe and North America. There are not many users in India and hardly anybody in China! This must be rectified. We need to improve our advocacy efforts! Friends: I just visited the cluster map of Open Access News hits.

Nobel laureate Richard Roberts advocates Open Access

21 Jan '06

Friends: Here is a report on a talk by a Nobel laureate. I am trying to get the full text of the talk. Best wishes. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] Richard Roberts at Johns Hopkins on OA Yesterday Richard Roberts --Nobel laureate and OA advocate-- gave the Sixth Annual Daniel Nathans, M.D. Lecture in Molecular Genetics at Johns Hopkins University. Karl Broman liked it: This afternoon, I went to the best seminar of the year. Sure, it's just January 19, but I'm confident that I won't attend a better seminar this year, as it was among the best I've ever attended....Why did I enjoy the seminar so much? First, [Roberts] began with a bit of a sermon about the importance of open access journals. That if you're anywhere but Hopkins (and a few other places), it's extremely difficult to get access to the literature. He also made the important point that: wouldn't it be great if the entire scientific literature, ever, was accessible online for searching? It's easily within our power. There are so many interesting papers that are languishing in dust. If they could all be online, and if the full text were free for searching, wouldn't everything be so much better? I was completely on his side from the start. Friends: Here is a report on a talk by a Nobel laureate. I am trying to get the full text of the talk. Best wishes.

Reminder: NCSI-NET talk on OJS on Saturday, 21st Jan
by Suvarsha Walters 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Title : Open Journal Systems and the Challenge to Improve Research Capacity in India Date and Time: Saturday 21st January, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. Venue: Seminar Hall of NCSI, IISc, Bangalore. Speaker: By Patrick Inglis, PhD student in sociology at the City University of New York Graduate Center Abstract of the talk: India remains a leader in the field of science and technology. Some of its institutions of higher education, as well as several research and design facilities, are some of the best in the world. But there are also the less prestigious institutes that do not enjoy the same research facilities as the privileged ones. This has the effect of creating a deep division between those who have access to knowledge and those that do not, but it also limits the ability of students and scholars at these other institutions to partake in the production and dissemination of information. Not only will more researchers gain from greater access to knowledge with free online publication media, but that this greater access will improve the scholarly quality of the research produced. When knowledge is free and open access it can provide a foundation for further research to emerge from the exchanges made between increasing numbers of participants. The presentation will expand upon the argument for open access scholarship in the public interest by introducing the Open Journal Systems developed at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada and the benefits this software can bring to the intellectual community in India. (A demo of the Open Journal Systems (OJS) software will also be given.) About Patrick Inglis: Patrick Inglis is a PhD student in sociology at the City University of New York Graduate Center. He studies the effects of globalization on labor and business management and will conduct part of his dissertation research in Bangalore, India. While a master's degree student in education at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, he was a member of the Public Knowledge Project research team that developed the first version of the Open Journal Systems. He continues to work with the Public Knowledge Project in shaping current and future versions of the software. ------------------------------- Please confirm your participation to Prasanna (t.s.prasanna at intel.com) or Suvarsha (suvarsha(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in) Warm Regards, NCSI-NET coordinators
