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.

Dear Professional Friends, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc and Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) invites you for an event on the celebration of National Library Week 2022. Date & Time: 18th November 2022 @ 4:00 pm Venue: Faculty Hall, Main Building, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru Keynote Address: Title: AR, VR, MR : How Does it Matter - A Human Factor Analysis of Metaverse Speaker: Prof. Pradipta Biswas, Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM), IISc Abstract: The Covid 19 pandemic and associated work-from-home culture reignites the importance of immersive media. Major industries used various terms like Metaverse (Facebook), Mesh (Microsoft), Nth Floor (Accesnture) and so on to invest and commercialize immersive media related products. Traditionally, immersive media is described through a continuum between reality and virtual reality along with intermediate systems known as Augmented and Mixed Reality systems. In the middle of the commercialization efforts and advertisements from software giants, end users are often confused about the best solution for their needs. There are not many studies on analysing end users’ feedback across the continuum of immersive media. This talk will present analysis on ocular parameters and EEG power bands of different brain regions while users undertook pointing and selection tasks using state-of-the-art AR, MR and VR media. In parallel, novel case studies will be presented from Aerospace, Smart Manufacturing and Assistive Technology involving XR technologies. Coffee/Tea: 5:00 p.m. Registration Link : https://bit.ly/3UjUzvJ with regards, Suresh Balutagi Indian Institute of Science Bengaluru - 560012 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
