Green OA

Friends, Here is something relevant to anyone interested in adopting and promoting Green open access. From Stevan Harnad, the arch-evangelist of OA, who, a few years ago, decided to move away from OA advocacy to caring for sentient beings. https://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2007/06/12/stevan-harnad-on-open-access/. Best wishes.

[IFLA-L] New open access book: A History of Scientific Journals: Publishing at the Royal Society, 1665-2015 (UCL Press)

Yet the use of scientific journals to report, share and store results is a thread that runs through the history of science from Newton’s day to ours. Scientific journals are now central to academic research and careers. Their editorial and peer- review processes act as a check on new claims and findings, and researchers build their careers on the list of journal articles they have published. The journal that reported Newton’s optical experiments still exists. First published in 1665, and now fully digital, the Philosophical Transactions has carried papers by Charles Darwin, Dorothy Hodgkin and Stephen Hawking. It is now one of eleven journals published by the Royal Society of London. Unrivalled insights from the Royal Society’s comprehensive archives have enabled the authors to investigate more than 350 years of scientific journal publishing. The editorial management, business practices and financial difficulties of the Philosophical Transactions and its sibling Proceedings reveal the meaning and purpose of journals in a changing scientific community. At a time when we are surrounded by calls to reform the academic publishing system, it has never been more urgent that we understand its history. Free download: https://bit.ly/3Rws1Ne

Important communication about LIS-Forum Postings, replies and Approvals.
by Francis Jayakanth 20 Nov '22

20 Nov '22

Dear Members, Greetings of the day! Please note some significant changes in the LIS-Forum operations. Since the inception of the LIS-Forum service in 1994, the LIS-Forum server has been on the IISc domain (iisc.ernet.in) and has been using the IISc email relay host for email communication. Thanks to the support extended by IISc and your active participation in the service, by and large, the service has been successfully sustained for nearly 28 (twenty-eight) years now, of course, with some minor hiccups once in a while. In the past, for various technical reasons, occasionally, the domain ernet.in has been blacklisted by DNS Blacklists. So, when a domain is on a blacklist, emails originating from such a domain are discarded by the ISPs. It is valid for of LIS-Forum emails as well. Consequently, approved LIS-Forum emails would not reach the subscriber's email inbox. In the past, whenever the domain ernet.in was blacklisted, the IISc network support team would help to overcome the issue. However, during the last couple of years, the frequency of blacklisting increased to the extent that the network support team can no longer resolve the issue. The blacklisting of IPs or domains happens for several reasons. In the case of LIS-Forum, it may be happening because of a large number of emails generated by LIS-Forum for every approved message and a burst of emails sent to specific domains like gmail.com or yahoo.com in very short intervals. Currently, there are close to 6,000 (six thousand) LIS-Forum subscriptions. Given the general technical issues in the operation of LIS-Forum, some changes are being tried. The changes will have some bearing on LIS-Forum operations. 1. LIS-Forum is no longer using the IISc email relay host. It is instead using Microsoft 365 email relay host on the ncsinet.in domain. 2. All approved LIS-Forum messages will be from a user <noreplay(a)ncsinet.in> or one of its variants like noreply1(a)ncsinet.in> 3. On Microsoft 365 email relay host, there is a per day (24 hours) limit of 10,000 (ten thousand) emails. The specific email originating user (noreply(a)ncsinet.in) will be automatically blocked/deactivated if that limit is exceeded. It will take at least 24 hours to reactivate a blocked account. 4. LIS-Forum messages will be approved just once a day at around 10 a.m. on all working days. Messages received after 10 a.m. will be approved only the following day after 10 a.m. 5. Post messages only in plain text format. Postings with attachments will be automatically discarded without notification. 6. Members are encouraged to change their subscription to Digest mode. This will reduce the sent email count. As far as LIS-Forum subscribers are concerned, you don't need to make any changes. One can continue to post messages to the same email id lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. However, while replying to a message, one needs to change the default 'To' address to lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. Thanking you, with best regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth LIS-Forum Administrator and Moderator JRD Tata Memorial Library IISC, Bengaluru -560012 francis(a)iisc.ac.in -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

From Peter Suber Elsevier absent from journal cost comparison | Times Higher Education (THE) <https://harvard.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4f3527d69da76653d98a27177…>"Of the 2,070 titles whose information will become accessible under the JCS, although not directly to researchers, 1,000 belong to the US academic publishing giant Wiley, while another 219 journals owned by Hindawi, which was bought by Wiley last year, also appear on the list. Several other fully open access publishers will also participate on the comparison site including Plos, the Open Library of Humanities, and F1000, while learned society presses and university publishers, including the Royal Society, Rockefeller University Press, and the International Union of Crystallography, are also part of the scheme. Other notable participants include the prestigious life sciences publisher eLife, EMBO Press and the rapidly growing open access publisher, Frontiers. However, the two of the world’s largest scholarly publishers – Elsevier and Springer Nature, whose most prestigious titles charge about £8,000 for APCs – are not part of the scheme.... Under the Plan S agreement, scholarly journals are obliged to become ‘transformative journals’ and gradually increase the proportion of non-paywalled content over a number of years. Those titles that do not make their papers free at the point of publication will drop out of the Plan S scheme, meaning authors cannot use funds provided by any of the 17 funding agencies and six foundations now signed up to Plan S. There are, however, no immediate consequences for a publisher who decides not to share their price and service data through the JCS. ..... -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
