Metric is not confined to draw numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesizing multiple directions and evidence-based data. Producing benchmarks and standards in science and technology evaluation and implementing them with real data, mark the full-fledged system. Quite recently, we are witnessing the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) conference is concerned with how the use of many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, the STMetrics will host a number of workshops and tutorials related to the theme of the conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology System. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical as well as practical aspects and application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet address the below themes, not limited. Citation-based metrics Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries Discipline and Domain Analysis Economic factors Databases and datasets for evaluation Evaluation Tools and Indicators Web-based metrics Visibility and impact Internationalization Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis National Evaluation Systems Open access and open publishing New indices for evaluation Altmetrics Web-based metrics Data Science and Digital Repositories Scientific Visualization e-Science in the Cloud Scientific Journalism Scientific Publications All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors of developing countries. Registration Fees There is no registration fee for authors and participants.

Prof. Subbaiah Arunachalam at 80!
by Sathyanarayana NV 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

Dear friends of LIS Community Prof. Subbaiah Arunachalam, who is well known to this forum through his regular writings and messages, is stepping into the club of octogenarians today as he completes 80 years of his life. MANY, MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY ARUN! Arunachalam, a scientist and science journalist by profession, has a long and passionate association with the LIS profession. He was a close associate of Dr. Eugene Garfield and served in the editorial board of the print edition of the famous Current Contents for several years. He is an early pioneer in India’s scientometrics based research studies. He has been a forceful advocate of and contributor to the open access movement in India and the world. I consider him a bold and profound thinker, writer, and speaker of our times. I remember one of his highly provoking articles of his youthful days as science journalist in CSIR, published in Science Today magazine in the 1970s – “Why is Indian science mediocre?” – which was quoted extensively in a New York Times article, drawing the attention of the science policy makers for corrective actions. Friends, as a token of our respect for and recognition of Arun’s contribution to the LIS world, please join me in greeting him and wishing him good health on this very special day of his accomplished life. Happy Birthday to you Arun! N. V. Sathyanarayana Informatics India Ltd. Bangalore, India. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
