Fwd: ONOS

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: M S Sridhar <mirlesridhar(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Dec 11, 2024 at 11:28 AM Subject: ONOS ONOS Press meet The Government of India has approved ‘One nation one subscription’ and had a press meet to justify the scheme. Watched the video of the press meet on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/live/OwPhBngJkgk?si=QQXh9zMHXN1XHLsp). The first impression is that knowingly thousands of crores are going to be wasted. 1. It is well established that an average researcher/ scientist regularly uses/ reads 5-15 journals. In case of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research, a specialist collaborates with other specialists and not himself tries to become a specialist in other disciplines. 2. In the existing consortia model (about a dozen in the country) large parts of thousands of journals have remained unused by the majority. Yet publishers got benefit and substantially increased their profit margin. It is important to note that publishers never allowed for the ‘pay per use’ model, which is the most rational and economical method of incurring cost for online journals. Thus providing access to all journals to all users is a waste and providing access is wrongly equated with ‘use’. 3. Now ONOS is increasing access from 8079 Journals to 13400 Journals and thereby increasing more unused journals by enabling publishers to further increase their profit margins. 4. ONOS is also increasing the reach, that is, providing access to 6380 institutions from the existing 2360 and to 177.82 lakh users from the existing 56.7 lakh. Have they ascertained the requirements of these additional institutions and individuals? Trying to provide access to disinterested institutions and users by doubling the cost from 1000 crores to 2000 crores per year is a criminal waste of taxpayer’s money. 5. Without ascertaining the present expenditure on APC, allocating meagre 150 crores per year (almost one-third of this budget is being spent by a single major institution) will not serve the purpose of promoting Open Access. This country needs at least another 1000 crores per year towards APC. If 1000 crores is allocated for APC, the total expenditure is going to be tripled. If APC budget is not increased, selected institutions and individuals of influence will get APC grants that to for so called undefined “selected good quality open access journals” without any justice to the majority. In nutshell, what was running in a decentralised way according to the local requirements at Rs.1000 crores per annum is centralised at a cost of Rs. 2000 to 3000 crores per annum with three year locking period of assured subscription to publishers.

Journals of India's Science Academies
by Subbiah Arunachalam 07 Dec '24

07 Dec '24

Friends, Greetings from Chennai. Please see Cancelling the ‘Big Deal’ at a Public University: A Discussion of STEM Faculty Perceptions of Cancellation and Post-Cancellation Usage Data | Practical Academic Librarianship: The International Journal of the SLA Academic Division <https://pal-ojs-tamu.tdl.org/pal/article/view/7193> . Also read the policy of the journal given under 'License.' In India, the journals published by the Science Academies DO NOT HAVE such a licensing policy. Simply because they have abjectly sold their souls to Springer. Right now the Academy journals are listed under Springer in international citation databases such as *Web of Science*. Springer is selling reprints of papers published in our Academy journals outside India and sharing the profit with our Academies. Contrary to what the Academies may claim, their journals are NOT open access. You may wonder why I am bothered about it. Not just because I did much of the editing and publishing work at the IASc in Bangalore for two years in the mid 1970s. Not because I was the one who suggested the idea of breaking away from the *Proceedings* and publishing subject-specific journals at IASc starting with *Pramana*. But because for me the very idea of giving away our journals to a commercial publisher is obnoxious. *Raman and Saha would be turning in their graves ever since.* In my view, 0ur Academies have dishonoured their own founding fathers. The minimum they could do now is to get out of the contract with Springer and be on their own. Correct me if I am wrong that DST is supporting these Academies (with taxpayers' money), especially their journal publishing programmes. And we keep saying "Bharath Mahan,' 'Make in India,' and 'we are on our way to becoming a superpower.' Actually, when Springer approached me first (then I was with MSSRF, Chennai), they were keen on *Current Science*, which would have been an ideal companion journal to Nature. I took them met Prof. M S Swaminathan, who was Chairman of the Current Science Association (or ex-Chairman). He told them that they should speak to Prof. Balaram as he was actually involved in managing the day-to-day affairs of *Current Science*, and they went to Bangalore by the next available flight. Prof. Balaram, obviously, did not agree to their proposal. And till this day C*urrent Science* continues to be the independent journal it has always been. But the Academy yielded. The other two Academies followed. Look at *Indian Journal of Medical Ethics,* if you want to learn how a good journal could be run as a 'community-led' effort. Busy doctors - physicians, surgeons, medical researchers - take time to redit, referee and all else needed to run a good journal. I have the privilege of having published a paper in IJME. When it finally appeared in the journal it was a far better version than I and my colleagues had submitted. Leading physicians and surgeons of India (who may not approve my naming them here) spent considerable time to add value to our paper. And they will *never *think of pledging their journal to Springer or any other publisher. I am sure they would not have approved govt agencies underwriting APC either. Raman and saha, had they been alive today, would have been proud of them. With warm regards, Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

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.

Digital preservation of our research publications
by Subbiah Arunachalam 30 Nov '24

30 Nov '24

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. With warm regards, Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

Hildrun was more than a luminary in their field; they were a source of inspiration, compassion, and unwavering support to everyone fortunate enough to know them. Their groundbreaking work in Information Science not only advanced human understanding but also exemplified their relentless curiosity, intellect, and dedication to the pursuit of knowledge. As a friend and colleague, Hildrun brought warmth, insight, and encouragement to every interaction. We are heartbroken to lose such a remarkable individual, but we are grateful for the time we had with them and the indelible impact they made on our lives and the world. Hildrun will be deeply missed but never forgotten. To know Hildrun was to witness a rare combination of warmth and brilliance—a person who inspired, supported, and uplifted everyone they encountered.

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.

ONOS, APC and ranking academic institutions, the earlier we do away with them the better
by Subbiah Arunachalam 28 Nov '24

28 Nov '24

Friends, Many in India are celebrating the official announcement of the Cabinet's approval of the ONOS proposal ( to the coffers thirty overseas journal publishers, some of whom report profit margins of over 30% year after year, somewhat like Mastercard and Visa (please see: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5142491/sen-josh-hawley-visa-mastercard-this…). On top of it ANRF would underwrite the costs incurred by Govt supported academic and other research organizations towards paying APC to get papers published by researchers and students from these institutions in the journals published by these publishers. Our government talks all the time about 'Make in India,' but these two programmes will actually transfer huge sums of money, Indian taxpayers' money, to the coffers of thirty overseas journal publishers, some of whom report profit margins of over 30% year after year, somewhat like Mastercard and Visa (please see the video : https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5142491/sen-josh-hawley-visa-mastercard-this…). In the past, Western imperialist powers had to send armies and occupy our lands, subjugate our people , enslave us and plunder our wealth. Now, in what could be called modern day imperialism, we are willingly, on our own accord, giving away not only our research papers but also pay for them to be published in journals published in the west and import those journals at huge costs enriching those publishing companies and indirectly their countries. This is certainly not in tune with the oft-repeated dictums 'Make in India,' and 'Atma nirbhar Bharat.' It looks more like 'give away India' ONOS has been on and off for the past few years and I do not understand why it should have been implemented at a time when the global availability of OA content is on the rise year after year as seen from all the major databases. I do not also understand why Indian researchers should pay a huge sum of taxpayers' money as APC to get their work published when there are so many alternatives to publish without paying. The argument that if they want to publish in 'prestigious outlets to win approbation, is bunk. These talks about prestige and ranking are all bogus, points out Tatineni Prem Kumar, an independent scholar-analyst-philathropher: "Ranking of educational institutions has become a joke in India and also in the world. In India, as per NIFR, IIT Madras is number 1 in the country and IIT Bombay occupies the 5th or 6th position, According to world rankings IIT Bombay is the best in India occupying the 115th or so position, IIT Mardas is way below around 270 or so. Why is such wide disparity?," he asks. Also in a recent ranking, everyone in Indian Academia was stunned to see IISc ranked 50th in research and institutions like Saveetha and Shoolini University occupying top spots." Let us look at what is happening at the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) in Germany, which is thrilled to announce the launch of the Max Planck Decentralized Science Initiative “DeSci Connect”. [Courtesy: STM Publishing News] "DeSci Connect aims to transform scientific collaboration by embracing principles of *openness, transparency, and democratization*. Through the integration of Web3 technologies, the initiative fosters secure, transparent, and accountable data sharing, creating new pathways for scientific discovery. "The MPDL initiative will actively engage with the international DeSci movement to understand and shape its impact on the scientific community and to influence and guide the movement's trajectory by staying at the forefront of decentralized science developments. It will provide strategic advice to MPG management and researchers, highlighting potential new DeSci tools and methodologies that could enhance scientific outcomes. DeSci Connect aims to integrate these innovative approaches, to empower researchers to achieve greater transparency, collaboration, and efficiency in their work." “The Max Planck Decentralized Science Initiative represents a bold step towards a new era in science where collaborative and equitable research practices flourish,” said Friederike Kleinfercher, Head of the Max Planck Decentralized Science Initiative. “By harnessing blockchain technology, we are building an environment where scientific findings are more accessible, accountable, and secure for all.” *Beyond open data access, DeSci Connect fosters groundbreaking web3-models for research funding and evaluation, enabling scientists to gain direct support from the community and paving the way for sustainable, community-backed research*.

The MIT Press releases report on the future of open access publishing and policy
by Amy Harris 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

[with apologies for cross posting] The MIT Press releases report on the future of open access publishing and policy https://mitpress.mit.edu/the-mit-press-releases-report-on-the-future-of-ope… The comprehensive report is the outcome of a National Science Foundation-funded workshop, identifying critical issues in open access publishing and how to address them Today, the MIT Press is releasing a comprehensive report that addresses how open access policies shape research and what is needed to maximize their positive impact on the research ecosystem. The report, entitled “Access to Science & Scholarship 2024: Building an Evidence Base to Support the Future of Open Research Policy<https://assets.pubpub.org/oiucyi8r/MIT%20Press%20Workshop%20-%20Access%20to…>,” is the outcome of a National Science Foundation-funded workshop held at the D.C. headquarters of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on September 20, 2024. While open access aims to democratize knowledge, its implementation has been a factor in the consolidation of the academic publishing industry, an explosion in published articles with inconsistent review and quality control, and new costs that may be hard for researchers and universities to bear, with less affluent schools and regions facing the greatest risk. The workshop examined how open access and other open science policies may affect research and researchers in the future, how to measure their impact, and how to address emerging challenges. The event brought together leading experts to discuss critical issues in open scientific and scholarly publishing. These issues include: * The impact of open access policies on the research ecosystem * The enduring role of peer review in ensuring research quality * The challenges and opportunities of data sharing and curation * The evolving landscape of scholarly communications infrastructure The report identifies key research questions in order to advance open science and scholarship. These include: * How can we better model and anticipate the consequences of government policies on public access to science and scholarship? * How can research funders support experimentation with new and more equitable business models for scientific publishing? * If the dissemination of scholarship is decoupled from peer review and evaluation, who is best suited to perform that evaluation, and how should that process be managed and funded? “This workshop report is a crucial step in building a data-driven roadmap for the future of open science publishing and policy,” said Dr. Phillip Sharp, Institute Professor and Professor of Biology Emeritus at MIT and faculty lead of the working group behind the workshop and the report. “By identifying key research questions around infrastructure, training, technology, and business models, we aim to ensure that open science practices are sustainable and that they contribute to the highest quality research.” The full report is available for download here<https://access-to-science.pubpub.org/pub/httpsaccess-to-sciencepubpuborgpub…>, along with video recordings of the workshop. About the MIT Press: The MIT Press is a leading academic publisher committed to advancing knowledge and innovation. It publishes significant books and journals across a wide range of disciplines spanning science, technology, design, humanities, and social science.

Annual expenditure on STEM and HSS journal subscription, and annual expenditure on APC paid to journals for the period 2014-2023
by Subbiah Arunachalam 09 Nov '24

09 Nov '24

Friends, A large part of research in India is funded mostly by one or the other of the Govt funding agencies. The total amount invested on R&D hovers around 0.65-0.7% of GDP, very small compared to some other countries which invest upwards of 4% of GDP. On top of it, not all that meagre some is used for research - on research fellows, laboratory supplies and equipment, setting up facilities (like astronomical observatories or neutrino observation centres), hosting and taking part in conferences/workshops, etc. A part of the money goes to subscribing to journals, a large number of them by a few greedy publishers who report profit margins of around 3% year after year and on APC towards publishing papers in certain journals supposed to be 'prestigious.' Would some member of this forum, preferably someone interested in the cost of doing science, invest some time to examine how much has been the outflow of money from India towards APC annually say since 2015. Also the amount spent on subscribing to overseas journals, both STEM and HSS, annually? With best wishes, Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

Friends, Come the New Year's Day in less than two months, we will be able to access for free a very large number of books and recordings (whose copyright expires this year). Please see https://everybodyslibraries.com/2024/11/01/the-remainder-of-the-roaring-20s… . Do we have an annual list of books published in India (and recordings) that go out of copyright and thus become freely accessible to the public? I don't know. With warm regards, Arun

A webinar of interest to STEM librarians
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

Friends, This webinar on S2O to be held on 6 November may be of interest to most STEM librarians. Please see : https://bit.ly/registration-nov24 and https://www.oaspa.org/events/wayfinders-4-a-deep-dive-into-s2o-subscribe-to… . The S2O model for serials pioneered by Annual Reviews Inc. about five years ago and the D2O model pioneered by the MIT Press follow the Gandhian ideal of Trusteeship. Those who can afford to pay pay enough so those who cannot pay also enjoy the benefits. Only a few subscribers to cover the costs, but the whole world can read. That is one model of open access. India being the third largest producer of STEM publications and having aspirations of becoming a scientific superpower, it is only fair we support such initiatives as well as other existing earlier initiatives providing Green open access such as *arXiv*. [I understand that a few Indian institutions, e.g. Matscience , Chennai, do support *arXiv*, but not as many as would be commensurate with the size of our physics community and their research output.] -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

When researchers pay to publish: Results from a survey on APCs in four countries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 20 Oct '24

20 Oct '24

Friends, This paper may be of interest to many of you. It would be nice if some PhD student could carry out a similar survey on paying to publish among Indian researchers (in both STEM and HSS). This study surveyed authors in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa. https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.12144 Unfortunately none of us knows for sure how much India is spending annually on APC paid to overseas publishers and how much of it is from the taxpayers, although some people attempted to GUESS it.

InfoFire episode on Whither Open Access| Conversation with Dr. Jean-Claude Guedon
by Shalini Urs 27 Sep '24

27 Sep '24

Dear Friends and Colleagues, There have been many discussions in this forum on the topic of Open Access (OA), particularly led by Arunachalam. As someone who has been an active participant in the OA movement and having pioneered the Vidyanidhi Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) back in 2000 — which helped catalyze later ETD and digital library efforts in India — it was an absolute delight and privilege to have an in-depth conversation with my dear friend, Jean-Claude Guédon, the maverick champion of OA, in the latest episode of InfoFire titled "Whither Open Access." Our chat was nostalgic as we reminisced about our time on the NDLTD Steering Committee from 2002 to 2012, while delving into the evolving landscape of academic publishing. We discussed the challenges posed by the commercialization of OA and explored whether the diamond model could offer a sustainable path forward, especially as more institutions rethink how research is disseminated. I wanted to share the article and the videocast with you folks. Please tune in to this episode for a deeper understanding of where we've come from and where we're headed in the future of academic publishing. Here is the link to tune in: https://informationmatters.org/2024/09/whither-open-access-a-fireside-chat-… Hope you enjoy the conversation and gain valuable insights from Dr. Guédon's perspective. Thanks and regards, Shalini

DRTC_Student Seminar 03_Enhancing Knowledge Organization and Information Retrieval with Retrieval-Augmented Generation
by Debanjali Bain 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 Seminar-3 (2023-2025) Title: “Enhancing Knowledge Organization and Information Retrieval with Retrieval-Augmented Generation” Speaker: Krishnapriya T R Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Abstract: Effective knowledge organization is the cornerstone of library management, enabling efficient access, retrieval, and preservation of vast amounts of information. In libraries, the structured arrangement of knowledge through classification systems, metadata, and indexing plays a critical role in ensuring that users can find relevant resources quickly and accurately. However, with the exponential growth of digital content, traditional methods face significant challenges in information retrieval (IR), including scalability, context relevance, and precision. This seminar will explore the importance of knowledge organization in libraries, focusing on how well-structured systems underpin the entire library ecosystem. It will also delve into the growing challenges in modern IR, such as handling unstructured data, managing large datasets, and providing personalized search experiences. To address these issues, we will introduce the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework as an innovative solution. RAG combines the power of retrieval-based methods with generative models to enhance IR by delivering contextually rich, accurate, and relevant information. The seminar will discuss practical applications of RAG in library settings, highlighting how this framework can transform traditional knowledge organization and retrieval processes to meet the evolving demands of the digital age. Date: 26/09/2024 (Thursday) Time: 3.30 pm Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore All are cordially invited!
