Sudden demise of Hildrun Kritschmer
by Koteswara Rao Mamidi 03 Dec '24

03 Dec '24

Sad to hear about the sudden death of Hildrun Kretschmer a well known information scientist of our times. COLLNET is a great initiative and I am proud to be associated with it on the advice of my PhD supervisor Prof K S Raghavan. Dr Kretschmer was my external research examiner and her in-depth analysis and report helped me a lot. The LIS fraternity had lost a good library professional and a good human being who appreciates the LIS work done in our country. May her soul rest in peace. Dr M Koteswara Rao Retd.

Friends, Here is an article . url: d41586-024-03842-z Title: Act now to stop millions of research papers from disappearing (In *Nature*): It is important for every publishing author to preserve the digital version of each one of their publications/reports/conference presentations in a global archive/repository such as Zenodo (maintained by CERN, but anyone can use it at no cost). Librarians at Academic and other research performing institutions may assist researchers in this task.

Millions of research papers vanishing. We should hasten digital preservation
by Subbiah Arunachalam 29 Nov '24

29 Nov '24

Friends, A major problem has been flagged by Dr Martin Paul Eve. He says "Act now to stop millions of research papers from disappearing." Digital preservation is not keeping up with the growth of scholarly knowledge. Recognizing its causes is the first step to securing records everywhere for future generations. Please see Nature, 26 Nov 2024. Also, please see https://science.slashdot.org/story/24/03/07/0614207/millions-of-research-pa… [DOI: 10.1038/d41586-024-00616-5 <https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-024-00616-5>]. In an experimental search of a few thousand research articles, about a quarter of papers in different fields, all having DOI, were untraceable. That is really alarming. With warm regards, Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009
