Supporting researchers and authors in their publishing
by John Akeroyd 06 May '20

06 May '20

Dear Librarians Please can you help us? We are researching whether and how health and medical researchers are advised as to where to publish their research papers. We are interested in what services are offered, by libraries and with what success. We have a special interest in the situation regarding predatory journals (defined in the survey) and how it is being dealt with. The survey will only take 10 -15 minutes of your time. It is anonymous but we are also interested in conducting follow up interviews with some respondents and if you are interested in participating please leave an email address at the end where we might contact you. We will provide a full copy of our report to all interviewees. Many thanks for your cooperation. If this survey is not of interest to you or not your responsibility, or you would like a colleague to also reply, please feel free to pass it on. You can access the survey here https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Z2N3M5F The survey is being undertaken by CIBER Research <http://ciber-research.eu/> in collaboration with Cabells <https://www2.cabells.com/>.

by Shamprasad Pujar 05 May '20

05 May '20

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gorichanaz,Timothy <tjg68(a)drexel.edu> Date: Wed, May 6, 2020 at 1:04 AM Subject: [IFLA-L] CFP: News, reflections and documents from LIS teachers and researchers during the pandemic To: ifla-l(a)iflalists.org <ifla-l(a)iflalists.org> Call for news, reflections and documents on teaching and research in LIS during the Covid-19 pandemic and confinement In light of the effects that the coronavirus pandemic is having on higher education, the journal Education for Information: Interdisciplinary Journal of Information Studies invites news and reflections from our community. What changes are unfolding for teaching and research in LIS? What is it like to be an LIS academic or a student in a worldwide lockdown? How are our institutions responding? What have we learned, or can we learn, about the nature of information in a crisis situation? What is worth documenting today that our descendants will be grateful to have in a century or two, or longer? We are calling for: Contributions from students, researchers, teachers, administrators, alumni, professors emeriti and others in the broad field of LIS Personal accounts of teaching and conducting research during lockdown Scholarly examinations of information flow, connection and communication during crisis, including emergent phenomena such as Zoomxhaustion Images, text, or both Submissions are welcome to tend toward the personal or toward the scholarly, or combine elements of both. There is no page limit, but we would expect submissions to be roughly 1–5 pages. There is no deadline per se. (But hopefully the pandemic does not last forever.) Submissions will undergo editorial review and be published on an ongoing basis. They will be published open-access, with no article processing charge. Submissions may be sent to Tim Gorichanaz, News Editor, at gorichanaz(a)drexel.edu. Warmly, Tim Gorichanaz, News Editor, Education for Information Fidelia Ibekwe, Editor-in-Chief, Education for Information

KALA Zoom Meeting - 3 by Dr Anand Byrappa
by Ishwar Goudar 02 May '20

02 May '20

Dear Professionals, Thank you Anand and KALA for this wonderful and educative session on Data Management Initiatives at IISc. I am sure this session has set a new trend for LIS community to adopt. Earlier LIS community in India has lead DL initiatives and I am sure if we take interest we can repeat the same in Data Management initiatives too. I only feel the absence of Late T B Rajashekar in such kind of initiatives. I am sure Anand will not only fill the gap, but will set a new trend. I request Anand to conduct series of short term courses of say 5 days initially. TBR started course on KM at NCSI. Why not you (Anand) later upgrade the course to handle all that was taught at NCSI with a new approach, state of the art needs for Research Data Management and new syllabus, etc. Regards, Dr I.R.N.
