A guide to preprints
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

Friends, There is growing acceptance among scientists and scholars around the world for circulating new findings as preprints. Preprints have come to be recognized as legitimate documents. Grigori Perelman, the Russian mathematician was chosen for both the Fields Medal (considered to be the Nobel for math) and the Clay Mathematics Institute's Millennium Prize (it shouldn't really matter, but I will mention the Prize is US$ one million) on the basis of three preprints in arXiv which he did not even bother to send to a journal for publication. Of course, he declined to accept both the awards. Physicists were among the earliest to systematically gather preprints and make them available to a worldwide audience through a central server. In the past more than 30 years, *arXiv*, operating now out of Cornell University, has made available more than 2 million preprints (not only in high energy, condensed matter and astrophysics, but also in other areas like mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics. I must add that the preprints culture precedes *arXiv*. Preprints help advance science faster. If we were to depend solely on research papers published in refereed journals, progress in science and scholarship would be slowed down. Initially, there was some hesitancy in accepting preprints as a convenient and legitimate means of communicating new knowledge. Especially among medical researchers. Indeed, Franz Joseph Ingelfinger, former editor of *The New England Journal of Medicine <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_England_Journal_of_Medicine>* (*NEJM* ) stipulated in 1969 that *NEJM* would not publish findings that had been published elsewhere, in other media or in other journals. Many medical journals continue to follow this rule to this day. Says Sanjay Pai, editor of *Indian Journal of Medical Ethics*, "To my knowledge, it holds good for all journals. It's the journal equivalent of an Exclusive, which the newspapers and TV seek." Prof. Peush Sahni, Editor of *National Medical Journal of India*, says, "most journals still follow it to some extent. However, more journals will peer review papers put on preprint servers." Now there are preprint servers to cater to researchers in almost all fields. Please see https://www.coar-repositories.org/news-updates/delving-deeper-into-preprint… . A new practical guide to preprints, https://www.ouvrirlascience.fr/a-practical-guide-to-preprints-accelerating-… , would be useful to members of this list and all LIS professionals in academia and research institutions. It may be of interest to doctoral students and early career researchers. Please publicize it in your institutions.

Fwd: Baskaran Fwd: INSA e-mail: Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Medal (2022) lecture and Panel discussion
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 Feb '22

24 Feb '22

Forwarded message. Please spread the word. Subbiah Arunachalam ******************** Greetings and regards from INSA. I am writing this mail on behalf of the President INSA and in the context of a lecture by Prof Marcia McNutt, President of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, USA on the March 3rd between 1800-2000 Indian Time. Dr. McNutt has been awarded the prestigious _Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Medal_ - 2022 by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA). Prof. McNutt has suggested that she will speak on “Misinformation: Addressing the Challenge” and, will trace some of the history of misinformation, and discuss why it is such a problem today, with some key examples from the US and possibly elsewhere. This is indeed a topic of importance and concern for both the public and academia. Enthused by the title of this talk and with our own concerns on the current contexts, we felt that a panel discussion on broader issues arising from _changing narratives _of _STI, Economics, Ethics and Society: Issues and Challenges in recalibrating the role of Academies and Academia_ following the talk will be useful to initiate a discussion in the community. I am pleased to report that we have an eminent set of panelists , a) Prof. Holden Thorp, Editor in Chief of Science Journals, b) Prof. Naomi Oreskes of the Department of Earth Sciences at the Harvard Universities and an highly acclaimed authors of several bestselling books including the Why trust Science ; c) Prof. Geoffrey Boulton FRS OBE from UK, who will be representing the International Science Council and has been the architect of their document Science as a Global Public Good and d) Prof. Chandrima Shaha, President INSA. Each of the panel members will have an opening comment of 10 min and these will be followed by discussion/comments/questions. The entire event will be held on web and the enclosed poster provides the link and details on the talks. You may type in your comments/questions in the chat box and they will be addressed to. Success of such events happens ONLY through participation of all and it will therefore be a pleasure to see you in the meeting. Kindly circulate the YouTube link below in your institute. https://youtu.be/76kuGgtq25k Regards Ashok Singhvi Website: www.insaindia.res.in [1] E-Mail: sci-soc(a)insa.nic.in Links: ------ [1] http://www.insaindia.res.in/ _______________________________________
