Re: [bytesforall_readers] Some Indian journals on the DIRECTORY OF OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Apr '05

This list appears to be incomplete. After all the description says "Some" Indian journals .... All journals published by INSA, IASc and MedKnow are open access journals. Can INFLIBNET make a list of ALL INDIAN OA journals, please?

A talk by Stevan harnad at Indiana University

Open Access Scientometrics Stevan Harnad, University of Southampton, UK April 4th, 2005 | 6-7p | LI 001 One of the ways to measure and predict research influence, direction and impact is through citation analysis. Articles cite one another, and citations can be counted, and lineages traced. Co-citation analysis is another way of analyzing structure and influence: Who is cited together with whom? Hub/authority analysis allows articles to be weighted by whether they are reviews citing many related articles, or they are influential works cited by many articles. The citation equivalent of Google's PageRank allows citations to be weighted, recursively, by how cited the citing work is. A citation has a higher weight if the citing article is itself a highly cited article. A new web-based measure is article downloads; these turn out to be correlated with and hence predictive of citations 18 months later, and even longer if the article is a pre-publication preprint. The latency from download time to citation time has also been steadily shrinking as more preprints and postprints are made openly accessible (OA) online. OA articles have significantly, sometimes dramatically higher citation impact than non-OA articles. Making more of the literature OA will not only make it more accessible and enhance its usage and impact, but it will make powerful new forms of scientometric analysis for monitoring and measuring research possible.

France forging ahead with OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

INRIA's commitment to OA INRIA, the French National Institute for Research in Computer Sciences and Control, has signed the Registry of Institutional OA Self-Archiving Policies. Here's how INRIA describes its OA policy on the registry policy page: 'INRIA (The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control) is about to launch an Open Archive dedicated to its scientific publications. INRIA Chairman Gilles Kahn has signed the Berlin Declaration last June and strongly embraces the Open Archive Initiative. He is convinced that such an archive will increase INRIA's scientific visibility and impact, keep track of INRIA's scientific output, and be of use to the whole scientific community. INRIA's Open Archive is part of the HAL Open Archive, produced by the CCSD (Center for Direct Scientific Communication) of CNRS, originally for physicists. INRIA is now collaborating with the CCSD for the future evolution of HAL [Hyper Articles Online]. INRIA scientists and their research partners will be strongly encouraged to use HAL-INRIA as a repository for their research. Documents to be archived include mostly submitted or accepted contributions in Conferences and Journals, book chapters, but also tutorials, INRIA reports, presentations, self-archived dissertations and preprints. It will also be possible to archive the proceedings of conferences organized, chaired or edited by INRIA scientists. Free access to archived articles will be granted whenever compatible with the publisher's requirements.
