Google, this time with its new service called Google Sitemaps aimed at webmasters. The programme allows website owners to feed their pages they'd like to have included in Google's web index and also allows them to indicate how often their websites need to be revisited. Google Sitemaps is intended for all website owners, from those with a single web page to companies with millions of ever-changing pages. According to Google, Google Sitemaps is an experiment in web crawling. It is a way of informing Google crawlers. By placing a Sitemap-formatted file on a web server, a web master can enable the crawlers to find out what pages are present and which have recently changed, and to crawl the site according. A full dig on this matter can be found at " http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1390144,004400100011.htm" Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor India Pvt Ltd.

Alma Swan's Author Study on Self archiving
by Subbiah Arunachalam 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

Friends: Here is the Executive Summary of the study by Alma Swan that will be published by JISC. Your comments are welcome. The full report is available at www.keyperspectives.co.uk/OpenAccessArchive/2005_Open_Access_Report.pdf or at http://cogprints.org/4385/ Subbiah Arunachalam --------- Open access self-archiving: An author study May 2005 Alma Swan and Sheridan Brown Key Perspectives Limited 48 Old Coach Road, Playing Place, TRURO, Cornwall, TR3 6ET, UK EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This, our second author study on open access, was carried out to determine the current state of play with respect to author self-archiving behaviour. The survey was carried out during the last quarter of 2004. There were 1296 respondents. The survey also briefly explored author experiences and opinions on publishing in open access journals to follow up our previous study on this topic for JISC and the Open Society Institute. Many of the findings reported here match those of that previous study. For example, the main reasons for authors publishing their work in open access journals are the principle of free access for all and their perceptions that these journals reach larger audiences, publish more rapidly and are more prestigious that the toll-access (subscription-based) journals that they have traditionally published in. The principal reasons why authors have not published in open access journals are that they are unfamiliar with any in their field and that they cannot identify a suitable one in which to publish their work. These reasons, and their rank order, exactly match the findings from our survey that was specifically on open access publishing last year. The purpose of this present study, however, was to move the focus onto self-archiving, the alternative means of providing open access to scholarly journal articles. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years in at least one of the three possible ways - by placing a copy of an article in an institutional (or departmental) repository, in a subject-based repository, or on a personal or institutional website. More people (27%) have so far opted for the last method - putting a copy on a website - than have used institutional (20%) or subject-based (12%) repositories, though the main growth in self-archiving activity over the last year has been in these latter two more structured, systematic methods for providing open access. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Postprints (peer-reviewed articles) are deposited more frequently than preprints (articles prior to peer review) except in the longstanding self-archiving communities of physics and computer science. There are some differences between subject disciplines with respect to the level of self-archiving activity and the location of deposit (website, institutional or subject-based repositories). Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst the most prolific authors, that is, those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity. The findings here show that 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, but that this dropped to 9% for subsequent depositions. Similarly, 23% of authors took more than an hour to deposit their first article in a repository, but only 13% took this long subsequently, with most taking a few minutes. Another author worry regarding self-archiving is the danger of infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers. Only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where permission is understood by the author to be required, it seems it is being sought (this accounts for around 17% of self-archiving cases); where it is not known if permission is required, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words, they publish to have an impact on their field. Nonetheless, more than half still do not know what the citation rate is for their most recent articles. Almost all (98%) of authors use some form of bibliographic service to locate articles of interest in closed archives such as publisher websites, but only a much smaller proportion of people (up to 30%) are yet using the specialised OAI search engines to navigate the open access repositories. Nevertheless, at the time of this survey, 72% of authors were using Google to search the web for scholarly articles: the subsequent arrival of GoogleScholar, which indexes the content of open access repositories as well as general websites, and thus retrieves formally-archived open access material, can be expected have a bearing on the level to which open access archives are searched in future and consequently on the eventual impact of articles deposited therein. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate.

BBC NEWS | Business | Brazil adopts open-source softwareFriends: I received this mail from my friend Hebron (Tanzania). Brazil's government has taken a bold and sensible step. Even in India the country's President is in favour of Open Source Software, but he has not succeeded (so far) in persuading the central and the state governments to adopt a policy as Brazil has done. Hebron: OA is different from Open Source Software, although there are some parallels. I have been requesting Open Source Software champions to champion the cause of OA as well. Best wishes. Arun ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 6:37 PM Subject: [c3net] Brazil adopts open source software Dear Friends, I am not sure if this piece of information found space in our dgroup. Our colleague (in Tanzania) Mr. S. Ntiro posted it today to a local dgroup. Arun, I can see the global coalition on OA will soon assume a new dimension (Brazil taking the lead). This is very great news. Other developing countries need to develop policies that target at building the local capacity on OA. Sorry for any cross-posting.

The scene is much like any other modern office: an open-plan work space crammed with desks, telephones and computers. But there's one big difference. The word 'Microsoft' is nowhere in sight. Instead, computers here now use the Linux operating system. It has many similar functions to Microsoft's Windows - but unlike Windows, it is available for free. Increasingly, Brazil's government ministries and state-run enterprises are abandoning Windows in favour of 'open-source' or 'free' software, like Linux. Money saving "The number one reason for this change is economic," says Sergio Amadeu, who runs the government's National Institute for Information Technology. He explains that, for every workstation, the government is currently paying Microsoft fees of around 1200 Brazilian reais ($500; £270). "If you switch to open source software, you pay less in royalties to foreign companies," explains Amadeu. "And that can count for a lot in a country like Brazil, which still has a long way to develop in the IT sector." I think free software will encourage Mr Gates to reinvent his business Jose Luiz de Cerqueira Cesar Global Organisation for Free Software Overall, the government reckons it could save around $120m a year by switching from Windows to open-source alternatives. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is studying a draft decree which, if approved, would make the change compulsory for federal departments. Global development issue For Mr da Silva, this is a vital development issue in a country where nine out of ten people have never used the internet. Through tax breaks, his government is subsidising the sale of computers to low-income families. For as little as $550, paid in instalments, they can buy a basic machine which operates using open-source software. "Open-source alternatives are a great opportunity for developing countries," says Jose Luiz de Cerqueira Cesar, head of IT at Banco do Brasil. "If computer users within a geographical region pool their expertise, they can develop software that is perfectly suited to their needs." Mr Cerqueira Cesar is a leading light behind the newly-created "Global Organisation for Free Software," which has been set up by a broad coalition of Brazilian businesses and NGOs. More details are being released this week at an International Forum on Free Software, in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre. The aim of the new organisation is to encourage greater cooperation and the sharing of ideas among governments, businesses and individuals within the developing world. On a smaller scale, that is already happening in Brazil, which has seen some ingenious attempts to span the so-called "digital divide" between the developed and developing worlds. Computers in the favelas One successful example is the "Recycling Goal" project, which extends computer technology into the shanty-towns or "favelas" on the outskirts of Sao Paulo. When all the costs and benefits are taken together, we think Microsoft offers the best value Microsoft Brazil "We have 80 computers here, all donated by Brazilian businesses," says the project organiser, Dalton Martins. Around him, children and teenagers from the Sacadura Cabral favela are tapping away on brightly-painted keyboards. Dalton explains that open-source software is an essential to the project: partly because it drastically reduces costs; and partly because it can be modified to suit local needs. "We use Linux," he says, "which means we've been able to customise the graphics and language content. Life has a special reality here, and we need to build technology that works for the community." Dalton adds that Windows does not offer the same level of flexibility, because its source code - the raw material of a program or operating system - is kept secret. Microsoft fights back So what does Microsoft's founder, and the world's richest man, make of this challenge? For Lula, free software is a development issue On the face of it, Bill Gates does not have much to worry about. More than 90% of the world's personal computers still use the Windows operating system. But there are signs of nerves. In January, Mr Gates unsuccessfully sought a private meeting with President Lula at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. In a written statement, Microsoft's Brazil office told the BBC: "We strongly believe that governments and computer users should be free to choose whichever software and other technology best meets their needs. But when all the costs and benefits are taken together, we think Microsoft offers the best value." The statement adds that open-source software can entail hidden costs, for features over and above the basic operating package. Microsoft executives have also questioned the security of software whose source code is freely available. To back up its value-for-money pledge, Microsoft recently launched a stripped-down, cheaper version of Windows XP in Brazil. And in April it announced a new credit deal for companies investing in Windows software, in partnership with Bradesco Bank. But the corporation's battle with Brazil is only just beginning. UN Battle The government here has its eye on a UN summit on information technology, to take place in Tunisia in November. Already, Brazilian diplomats are pushing for a final declaration that would stress the advantages of open-source software. They have won the backing of India and are now canvassing broader support from the developing world. "It would be wrong to portray this as a personal war against Bill Gates," cautions Mr Cerqueira Cesar. "But I think free software will encourage Mr Gates to reinvent his business. The world of technology is opening up; there are hundreds of thousands of people working to improve free software. The old, closed model must adapt in order to survive."
