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!

DRTC_Student Seminar 01

04 Sep '24

*Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC)* *Indian Statistical Institute* 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 *Seminar-01* *(2023-2025)* *Title: Recommendation Systems in Libraries - Improving User Experience & Discovery of Resources through Recommendation Systems* *Coordinator: **Dr. Biswanath Dutta* *Speaker: **Racha Singh* *Abstract* Traditionally libraries have been functioning as providers of reliable information to their users with their collections of books & resources. However, the emerging technologies have been shaping them (libraries) to function as dynamic hubs of knowledge and information. In the era of such technological advancements, libraries have to keep evolving in the ways they function while meeting diverse user needs. One of the identifiable challenges faced by library/information service providers is in addressing the problem of ‘information overload’ while navigating vast collections of information and assisting users with the information they need in less time and with more efficiency. Recommender systems (or recommendation systems) functioning as efficient information filtering tools, search through large volumes of dynamically generated information, and provide users with personalized content and are therefore widely recognized for their role in e-commerce and online media platforms. This seminar explores the application of recommender systems in library settings, discussing various approaches to information filtering through recommender systems and the research in this domain. The seminar thus aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of recommendation systems in the library environment and how they can improve library services along with the user experience by providing more relevant and personalized services. *Date: **05/09/2024 (Thursday)* *Time: **1:30 p.m.* *Venue: **DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore* *All are cordially invited!*

Fwd: Ms Elbakyan's Declaration on OA to knowledge
by Subbiah Arunachalam 28 Aug '24

28 Aug '24

Friends, Ms Alexandra Elbakyan recently issued a Declaration on Open Access to Scientific Knowledge, but it is available only in Russian. Is there anyone among the nearly 6,000 members of LIS-Forum who can get an authentic English translation When I was teaching a course at INSDOC four decades ago, INSDOC had several high quality Russian translators. And the Soviet Embassy had two Russian teachers who taught Russian language for free and I knew them well. I left Delhi more then 28 years ago and I do not know anyone in the Russian Embassy, and INSDOC lost its identity after it was merged with two other CSIR institutions in Delhi. Here is what I obtained from gemini.google.com, but it is only a summary. A Summary of Alexandra Elbakyan's Declaration on Open Access to Scientific Knowledge Disclaimer: While I cannot provide a complete English translation of the document at this time, I can offer a detailed summary based on the information available and my understanding of the key points. Alexandra Elbakyan's declaration is a strong advocacy for open access to scientificlp knowledge. It argues that: Fundamental Rights and Scientific Knowledge - Human Right to Knowledge: Scientific knowledge is a fundamental human right, essential for progress and societal development. - Inequality and Paywalls: Current paywall systems create significant inequalities in access to knowledge, particularly for those in developing countries and institutions with limited resources. The Role of Publishers - Profit-Driven Model: Publishers prioritize profit over the dissemination of knowledge, often charging exorbitant fees for access to research articles. - Author Rights: Authors should retain ownership and control over their work, rather than transferring those rights to publishers. The Benefits of Open Access - Accelerated Research: Open access can accelerate scientific progress by enabling broader collaboration and faster dissemination of research findings. - Increased Impact: Open access articles tend to have a higher impact than those behind paywalls, as they are more widely read and cited. - Social Justice: Open access promotes social justice by ensuring that scientific knowledge is accessible to all, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Call to Action - Legal Framework: Governments should establish legal frameworks that support open access and protect the rights of authors. - Institutional Support: Universities, research institutions, and funding agencies should adopt policies and practices that promote open access. - Public Awareness: The public should be made aware of the importance of open access and the challenges faced by researchers in accessing scientific literature. In essence, Elbakyan's declaration is a powerful statement in support of the open access movement. It calls for a fundamental shift in the way scientific knowledge is produced, disseminated, and consumed, emphasizing the importance of making research freely available to all. ..... ..... I and many others involved in the OA movement will be grateful to anyone who could provide an authentic translation of the full text of Ms Elbakyan's Declaration. With warm regards, Arun

Now, there are predictions of major increases in productivity due to the impact of Generative AI. Artificial Intelligence is an important tool for knowledge workers such ICT professionals, physicians, librarians, and lawyers, etc. This talk will address how AI can augment and complement the knowledge worker, and the potential impact of Generative AI on the labour force. *Tea Break: 11:00 am to 11:30 am* *Lecture 2: Responsible AI: Issues and Gaps* *Speaker*: *Dr. Carolyn Watters*, Professor Emeritus, Dalhousie University, Canada *Date*: 26 August 2024 (Monday) *Time*: 11:30 AM *Venue*: G16, Ground Floor *Abstract*: The current wave of Generative AI is attracting great interest globally. These Systems have captured our imaginations but are not without issues and risk to people and to systems. The emergence of concerns about the potential impact of these technologies to people and cultures has led to increasing demand for the development and application of Responsible AI policies and regulations. Responsible AI principles are grounded in human-centred ideals of trust, fairness, and accountability to ensure that benefits from Gen AI are widespread and harms caused by Gen Al are mitigated. In this talk, we examine the current state of responsible Al activity and the issues now emerging of data acquisition, computing power, and environmental impact that Responsible AI policies and regulations must begin to address. *Dr. Biswanath Dutta* (Head DRTC) Presides

Friends, I have a few questions. I will be grateful for answers. 1. When will STI 2020 (promised as the 5th edition of India's science policy) be released? The draft was ready and final in mid December of 2000. Some of my friends, Rahul Siddharthan, Arul Scaria, Francis Jayakanth and many others were involved in the preparation of the chapter dealing with scholarly communication and open access. 2. A suggestion was made as far back as 2004 0r 2005 that the Government should mandate open access archiving of all research papers resulting from public funding. Why is it not happening even after two decades? 3. What is the current status of ONOS? The past three years librarians were told in December/January to subscribe to journals and they all had to do it in a hurry. 4. What is the current status of NIC's OA journals platform for Indian medical journals. ? Who is the key person there? With warm regards, Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

New Royal Society animation: Publishing your research? How to avoid predatory journals
by Chandrima Roy 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

Dear Members, Just thought to share the latest Publishing video that has just been posted on YouTube by the Royal Society, UK: https://youtu.be/sIbpmkh5ORs This video was made with input from DOAJ, COPE and Think Check Submit. The Royal Society Publishing update: With over 360 institutions worldwide signed up to a Royal Society Read & Publish agreement in 2023, thousands of researchers can publish open access articles in the Royal Society journals with no fees at the point of acceptance. With this the number of open access articles increase rapidly as more authors fall under transformative agreements. By the end of 2022, the Royal Society published the highest proportion of open access articles yet at 61%. The publisher launched a new scheme to reward peer reviewers with article processing charge discounts and they have extended content syndication partnership with ResearchGate with the addition of over 100,000 Royal Society journal articles to the platform. There has been further increase in the number of institutions moving to Read & Publish in 2024 and to begin flipping their four main hybrid research journals to gold open access within the coming years, we are expecting the similar response from maximum number of institutions in the coming years. The Royal Society offers over 350 years of research across the whole of science, Transformative Agreements, Open Access Memberships, subscriptions and perpetual access to suit all institutions. To know more about the Royal Society Publishing content and policies, please visit: Journals | Royal Society<https://royalsociety.org/journals/>. Being exclusive representative of the Royal Society Publishing, we will be glad to respond to your direct queries.

Correction to my earlier post on OA books from the MIT Press
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

Friends, First my apologies for posting some incorrect information on the MIT Press books that are available on open access. It was first brought to my attention by Dr Francis Jayakanth. Thank you Francis. Here is an excerpt from a letter from a senior member of the MIT Press staff: "There are gated/non-OA books on our MIT Press Direct platform in addition to our open access titles. If you wish to view just the open access titles that are available on our platform, please visit http://mitpress.mit.edu/d2o_books. That list should update automatically as new OA titles are added. If you wish to catalog our open access titles and can use MARC <https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/MARC-records> records or KBART <https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/KBART> to do so, we make those available for direct download on our site. Here they are as well: - MARC records are available in three formats: .mrc <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/MARC/OA_MITDirect_MRC.zip> | .mrk <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/MARC/OA_MITDirect_MRK.zip> | .mrk8 <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/MARC/OA_MITDirect_MRK8.zip> - KBART Open Access Collection: csv <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/KBART/MITPressDirect_OpenAccess.zip> | txt <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/KBART/mitpr_Direct_OpenAccess.txt> We also work with a number of the major discovery services (Clarivate/ProQuest/ExLibris, EBSCO Discovery Service, and OCLC WorldCat/WMS) to make our open access books available as a collection." **** In addition, for libraries in India which would like to be participating libraries in the D2O programme, the MIT Press has a special rate (applicable to lower middle income economies according to the World Bank classification. With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

Status of the Million Books of India project
by Subbiah Arunachalam 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

Friends, Canada has launched a wonderful digitization project. Please see: https://internetarchivecanada.org/2024/07/01/internet-archive-canada-launch… . We in India did start one way back in 2000 when IISc's Prof. N Balakrishnan (known as Balki), with the support of the redoubtable Prof. Raj Reddy and President Abdul Kalam, initiated the Million Books Project of India (see his YouTube talk on The Digital Library of India and its Journey). Does anyone know of the current status of the project? I would like to know about it. The National Digital Library of India maintained by IITKh appears to be essentially an education portal largely focused on textbooks and examinations (at all levels). There are several other digitization projects in India, many specializing on content in individual languages such as Srujanika in Oudiya and Project Madurai in Tamil. It will be a good idea for an enterprising student to write a doctoral or master's thesis on digitization efforts in India. Any takers? With best wishes, Arun

Important Update Regarding Recent Spam Message
by Francis Jayakanth 26 Jul '24

26 Jul '24

Dear Members, I am writing to let you know about a recent incident on our discussion list. It has come to our attention that a message containing threatening and inappropriate content was posted by an individual as lis-forum-owner(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. The message claimed to have access to sensitive information and made fraudulent demands. As you know, LIS-Forum was moved to a hosting platform called MailmanLists about a month ago. After contacting the MailmanLists support team about the spam email, they informed us that the issue was linked to a problem with the server's DNS, which allowed this spam email to bypass our moderation process. The IISc network team manages the LIS-Forum server's DNS records. We recommend that all members remain vigilant and avoid engaging with any suspicious emails or links. If you receive any further spam or have concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to maintain the integrity of the Forum. Best regards, Francis

Institutional Journal Index (IJI) beta version is released
by STM STMet 2024 22 Jul '24

22 Jul '24

The Institutional Journal Index (IJI) beta version is released now. You can access it at www.ijiweb.net https://www.ijiweb.net About IJI Many databases, directories, and indexes capture the global research output. While many journals are indexed in more than one index, some journals are not attracted by any index or database. Institutional journals, including some in-house research journals (particularly those that publish research papers), are excluded from directories and indexes. The research published in these journals represents local interest and Indigenous research and reports significant findings. However, these journals remain invisible despite their acceptable contribution. The IJI captures such invisible research and makes it available on its platform. We do not measure or judge the quality of papers for inclusion but use a few minimum quality thresholds before entering them into IJI. IJI is an article-level index of research journals published by institutions such as colleges, universities and laboratories. It is available on an open-access platform. -----------------------------

How about Project Indiana?
by Subbiah Arunachalam 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

Friends, Canada is coming up with a wonderful (open access) digital library. Please see: https://internetarchivecanada.org/2024/07/01/internet-archive-canada-launch… . We in India did make some efforts, witness the Million Book project (spearheaded by Pfof. 'Balki' Balakrishnan of IISc ) and the national digital library at IITKh. Commendable as these are, we are nowhere near what we need to really have. Prof. Robert Darnton, historian and former librarian at Harvard, wrote and spoke about the origin of the Digital Public Library of America. That is the kind of digital library we should aim for in India. That could also double up as a national level repository of all our scholarly output, past and current. Europe has Europeana. Best wishes. Arun

Requesting Research Articles
by Francis Jayakanth 04 Jul '24

04 Jul '24

Dear Members, I am seeking your assistance in obtaining a couple of research articles that one of our students urgently needs. Unfortunately, our library does not have access to these articles. I have already searched the NUSSCI union catalogue extensively. I have sent requests to the libraries having the bound volumes of the journals in question but have not received any responses thus far. We also possess bound volumes of the two relevant journals in our library. However, as frequently happens, the specific issues needed are missing from our collection. Below are the details of the articles required: 1. Drug Metabolism and Disposition In Vitro Glucuronidation Using Human Liver Microsomes and The Pore-Forming Peptide Alamethicin Author/s Michael B. Fisher, Kristina Campanale, Bradley L. Ackermann, Mark VandenBranden and Steven A. WrightonYear 2000Publisher ASPET https://dmd.aspetjournals.org/content/28/5/560 2. Pharmacological reviews The search for synergy: a critical review from a response surface perspective. Author/s W R Greco, G Bravo and J C ParsonsYear 1995Publisher ASPET https://pharmrev.aspetjournals.org/content/47/2/331 I would greatly appreciate it if any colleague with access to these journals or articles could share copies. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. Best regards, Francis JRD Tata Memorial Library IISc.

The metric is not confined to drawing numbers and analysing. Selecting a metric depends on synthesizing multiple directions and evidence-based data. Producing benchmarks and standards in science and technology evaluation and implementing them with real data mark the full-fledged system. Quite recently, we have witnessed the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect the growth of science and technology. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2024) conference concerns how many metrics may involve assessing different aspects of science and technology, which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, STMetrics will host several workshops and tutorials related to the conference’s theme. The workshops provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology Systems. The tutorials aim to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical and practical aspects and the application of metrics. The proposed conference includes invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops, and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet addresses the themes below but is not limited to them. The proposed conference includes invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops, and discussions.

Zenodo an attractive (and low-cost) option to make Indian research open access
by Subbiah Arunachalam 23 Jun '24

23 Jun '24

Friends, I began my 2011 *Status report on OA in India*, commissioned by the Centre for Internet & Society, Bengaluru, with the statement, "Nothing that has happened in the recent past can have as great an influence as open access on science and scholarship in the developing world, and yet many developing countries including India are not adopting open access with enthusiasm. Developing countries remain developing largely because they often let go of such opportunities." The situation has barely changed. We are still letting go of opportunities. LIS managers in academic and research performing institutions can bring about a dramatic transformation. They could help their research performing clients - professors, research students, scientists, etc. - in creating a Zenodo account for each one of them. Zenodo (*https://zenodo.org/ <https://zenodo.org/>*) is a free, open-access digital platform that allows researchers to share and preserve their research outputs, including data sets, publications, presentations, posters, multimedia, software, and educational resources. Zenodo is built on open source software and was developed by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the organization where the World Wide Web was also developed by Tim Berners Lee, but is open to researchers from everywhere. Zenodo makes scientific outputs of all kinds citable, shareable and discoverable for the long term. The term 'low-cost' in the subject line is the cost to hire interns/trainees (if needed) to create and populate the Zenodo accounts. With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658

Vocational Awe and Librarian
by Francis Jayakanth 14 Jun '24

14 Jun '24

From: Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy <vyasamoorthy(a)gmail.com> Sent: 06 June 2024 18:11 When we talk to a doctor, teacher, judge, police officer, etc we may experience a sense of respect and awe. They are socially superior in some way requiring our submissive behavior, or we concede so at a mental level. Is this necessary or correct I do not know. Similarly, would you consider a librarian with respect? Both men and women are employed as Librarians in India but in Western countries most of them are women. The salaries of library staff are low. In most institutions, even the chief librarian does not enjoy the status of the Head of the department but is asked to report to somebody two or three levels lower from the top. When I was employed as Librarian-cum-Technical-Info-officer in IDL, the grandmother of a friend of mine asked: Oh! your job is to dust and put back books in a library? That picturisation and image of a librarian has not improved or changed much! In my opinion, librarians and the society at large should think about increasing the vocational awe that librarians deserve. Trigger for this message: Hidden here!

India should share costs of opening up knowledge
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 May '24

31 May '24

Friends, The D2O (Direct-to-Open) model for publishing and distributing academic and scholarly books is here to stay. Please read https://news.mit.edu/2024/mit-press-direct-open-impact-report-0529. Leading Indian academic and research libraries that cater to large numbers of users should come forward to support such programmes by subscribing to them. While our institutions and librarians are ready to pay tens of thousands of dollars annually on books and journals published by for-profit publishers, most of them are reluctant to take part in the D2O programmes such as the one pioneered by the MIT Press and the S2O (Subscribe-to-Open) programmes pioneered by Annual Reviews Inc. Also, not many institutions in India support *arXiv* financially although a large number of Indian physicists, mathematicians, computational biologists and several others use *arXiv* extensively both to learn about the latest developments in their fields and to announce their own new results. On the one hand, our political and scientific leaders never miss an opportunity to tell the world that India is the third largest publisher of research papers and that we are close to becoming a scientific super power. On the other hand, there seems to be a reluctance to participate in the sharing of costs of publishing of books, journals and preprints which would anyway become freely accessible *thanks to others paying for them*. That is not what super powers would do. With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam

Collaborating on drafting an article/ blog on performance assessment of Koha ILMS
by Atanu Garai 27 May '24

27 May '24

Hi Community, Koha as an open-source ILMS application is stable and have been powering many libraries worldwide. We at SocialWell have been operating multiple Koha ILMS instances for six institutions for the last six months now. In this period, we have monitored how Koha is performing on different sizes on library, usage, and server specifications. In general, it appears Koha-using libraries can benefit a lot from performance enhancements. From a cost perspective, it seems Koha runs well in a minimum of 2vCPU, 8 GB RAM, and 16 GB memory. A server with this spec costs about Rs. 66,816 a year. That’s a significant expense for a library having 5,000 to 10,000 resources. I want to collaborate with other Koha experts to write an article or a blog on the performance pros and cons and areas of improvements. This would help us to put together more scenarios – running multiple Koha instances in a single compute machine, running each instance separately, among others. You can email me at hi(a)socialwell.net. Best regards, Atanu Atanu Garai SocialWell w: www.socialwell.net<http://www.socialwell.net/> LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/socialwell/> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/SocialWellNet>

Editors at Philosophy & Public Affairs Resign and Will Launch New OA Journal
by Subbiah Arunachalam 23 May '24

23 May '24

Friends, "Crucial aims of scholarly publishing are not well served by commercial publishing," say the editors of a leading philosophy journal. Please see what I just received from <OPENCAFE-L(a)listserv.byu.edu>. Another mass resignation at a Wiley journal as the editors and all of the editorial board members of one of the most influential journals in moral and political philosophy, Philosophy & Public Affairs, have resigned en masse <https://dailynous.com/2024/05/22/editors-at-philosophy-will-launch-new-oa-j…>. This makes 11 journal mass resignations at Wiley since 2018 according to the Retraction Watch Mass Resignation List <https://retractionwatch.com/the-retraction-watch-mass-resignations-list/>. As the Daily Nous says according to their statement, *crucial aims of scholarly journals are “not well-served by commercial publishing* ... The outgoing editors and editorial board members will be launching a new diamond <https://www.coalition-s.org/diamond-open-access/> open-access journal to be published by Open Library of Humanities (OLH) <https://www.openlibhums.org/>, and will be occupying at the new journal the same positions they held at *Philosophy & Public Affairs*.” You can read the statement at the links above, it includes this familiar opening: "Faced with this conflict between purpose and business model, we have decided to embrace the purpose and move to an alternative model. The alternative—which our librarian colleagues have been urging for some time—is for libraries, universities, and other academic institutions to offer direct support for the publication of open-access journals, which are guided by independent scholarly judgment and freely available for authors and readers" **** It is indeed sad that at a time when enlightened editors of many journals starting from Fields medalist Timothy Gowers, who initiated the 'Boycott Elsevier' movement, are urging scientists to move away from commercial journals, we in India are entering into Transformative agreements with commercial publishers and helping them tighten their stranglehold on science and scholarship. A few months ago representatives of a commercial publisher was even given a red carpet welcome in New Delhi and their 'bus trip' to 15 leading institutions was facilitated so they could talk to professors and students on topics like writing research papers, presentation of data and scholarly communication! With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam

by STM STMet 2024 20 May '24

20 May '24

Fifth International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2024) Tien Giang University. My Tho, Ho Chi Min. Vietnam October 17-19, 2024 Co-located Workshops https://socio.org.uk/stm/workshop/ 1. First Workshop on Text-Based Metrics and Indicators About this workshop Many scientists have disapproved of traditional research assessment systems such as publications, citations, and impact factors. Traditional metrics are obtrusive and based on human judgements, resulting in inconsistent and non-correlative results. In the rapidly evolving landscape of research assessment systems, the emergence and development of non-bibliographic indicators have marked a significant stride toward more reliable evaluation models. This workshop aims to explore innovative research in the rapidly evolving field of text-based indicators, focusing on its integration and application within the broader scope of assessment systems. We warmly welcome submissions from all, regardless of their level of expertise, that demonstrate novel approaches, theoretical insights, and practical applications of text metrics and their role in advancing the field of research assessment systems. You can submit the papers online on the submission page with a note on text-based metrics. ————– 2. First Workshop on “Future Developments in Altmetrics” About this workshop We are excited to announce an upcoming workshop on “Future Developments in Altmetrics” that aims to break new ground in Altmetrics. The workshop will encourage discussion from academic and working experts, which promises to be an enriching experience for professionals and researchers alike. Research Assessment systems are on the rise. New advances in Assessment indicators have enabled the creation of ever more competent evaluation systems that have the potential to contribute to various types of measures. However, this potential to result in a step-change in the deployment of Altmetrics with an acceptable level of reliability is warranted. Many studies comparing Altmetrics findings with other research assessment measures reported conflicting results. Researchers and institutions must unite to transform the unique insights and innovations developed in Altmetrics from lab prototypes into robust and reliable real-life solutions for institutions. In this workshop, we create a platform structured around three specific themes: (1) the Reliability of Altmetrics indicators, (2) Scope and application perspectives, and (3) Limitations and improvements. We encourage researchers to address any issue related to Altmetrics and present their findings. Workshop Chairs 1. Amir Reza Asnafi Shahid Beheshti University. Velenjak Tehran. I.R.Iran Important Dates Submission of papers- August 05, 2024 Notification- September 01, 2024 Camera-ready (post-conference version)- October 10, 2024 Registration- October 01, 2024 Conference Dates- October 17-19, 2024 Submissions are online at the Conference Submission page.

Librarians must interact with researchers much more than they
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 May '24

17 May '24

Fellow Academic and research Librarians, All of us know our work is not confined to what we do with inanimate objects - books, reports, online content, managing our budgets to get the maximum benefit to our clients/users, and so on. The most important part of any, especially an academic/research, library is not these physical things and not even efficient management of the scarce resources allotted to the library. It is people as Washington State University's business librarian Gabriella Reznowski would tell you. See how in partnership with Assistant professor Amrita Lahiri, Ms Reznowski helped Lahiri's entrepreneurial management class complete their term project in which they pick a research question focused on entrepreneurship and conduct a survey of the literature relevant to their question. They interview entrepreneurs and use databases such as Pitchbook and Statista to find answers.Dr Lahiri considers the university's libraries to be a critical ally in pursuing this objective. Please see https://news.wsu.edu/news/2024/05/16/carson-colleges-amrita-lahiri-named-re… . The question for us in India is how often do we see such active collaboration between faculty and librarians even in the best of our higher educational institutions? Saying that in the Internet era researchers have direct access to the info they need through their laptops is not good enough. How many of us know the current questions our professors and students are investigating? How often do we meet them and discuss their information needs? I have had the privilege of knowing a few librarians who excelled in serving their academic clients beyond their expectations. I will only name two of them: Mr V Sarangan, who came from Salem in Tamil Nadu with a Third class BA and a basic diploma/degree in library science to join as a technical assistant in the CSIR headquarter's library in New Delhi. His lowly status notwithstanding he did a marvellous jof. He knew which officer, be it the Director General or Head of Planning or Manpower division, would benefit by reading which latest arrivals from among the books, reports, journal articles, etc. Then there was Ratnakar, now retired, of the Raman Research Institute, who knew the research interests of virtually every researcher in the campus from the Director down to the freshly recruited research student. I have benefited much from both of them although I was not working in the same institution. I would like to hear such positive examples from the current crop of librarians. With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658

Suggestions for improving the scholarly communication ecosystem in India
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 May '24

17 May '24

Friends, I have some suggestions for Indian scientists and those involved in supporting research. 1. All publishing authors (from India) may be persuaded to register with ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) and obtain a unique author identity. Mine is below the signature line. [To obtain a unique ORCID identity, one may follow these steps: 1. *Register for an ORCID ID*: - Visit the ORCID website[1] and click on "Register now." - Fill in your name, email address, and create a password. - If you already have an ORCID ID, select the appropriate option; otherwise, continue with the registration process[4]. 2. *Verify Your Information*: - Review the list of researchers with similar names and select the correct profile or continue with registration if you don't have an ORCID ID yet[4]. 3. *Set Up Your Profile*: - Create a password and adjust the visibility settings for your profile to ensure it is visible to everyone, as ORCID is designed to help researchers share their information with others[4]. 4. *Agree to Terms and Register*: - Check the terms of use boxes, complete the registration process, and confirm that you are not a robot[4]. 5. *Utilize Your ORCID ID*: - Once registered, your ORCID ID will serve as a unique and persistent identifier throughout your career, even if your name changes or you move to a different organization[4]. 6. *Link Your Publications and Works*: - Add your publications, funding information, and other works to your ORCID profile to showcase your research output and achievements[4]. By following these steps, you can easily obtain a unique ORCID identity that distinguishes you as a researcher and helps in accurately attributing your scholarly work[4][5]. Citations: [1] https://orcid.org [2] https://libguides.uprm.edu/orcid-en [3] https://info.orcid.org/documentation/api-tutorials/api-tutorial-get-and-aut… [4] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFpgseSN7kE [5] https://www.crimejusticejournal.com/orcid/index} **** 2. All institutions which are shown as affiliations in the byline of a research article/report/preprint/any other kind of published stuff should be persuaded to register and obtain unique organizational RoR (Research Organization Registry). [To obtain a unique institutional identity using the Research Organization Registry (ROR), please follow these steps: 1. *Check if your institution already has a ROR ID* - Search for your institution on the ROR website[3] to see if it already has a unique ROR ID assigned. - If your institution is listed, you can use the provided ROR ID. 2. *Request a new ROR ID if needed* - If your institution is not listed, you can request a new ROR ID by submitting a form on the ROR website[3]. - Provide details about your institution, such as its official name, website, and address. **** 3. *Validate and update your institution's ROR profile* - Once your institution has a ROR ID, review the associated profile information for accuracy. - If any details need to be updated, such as name variants or address information, you can request changes by contacting the ROR team[3]. **** 4. *Open Researcher and Contributor ID* - Encourage researchers affiliated with your institution to include the ROR ID in their publications and grant applications. - Provide guidance to researchers on how to properly format and include the ROR ID. **** 5. *Monitor and maintain your institution's ROR profile* - Regularly review your institution's ROR profile to ensure that it remains accurate and up-to-date. - If any changes occur, such as mergers, name changes, or new campuses, update the ROR profile accordingly[3]. By obtaining a unique ROR ID and maintaining an accurate institutional profile, your institution can ensure consistent and reliable identification in research information systems and databases[3]. Citations: [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8391995/ [2] https://www.techtarget.com/iotagenda/definition/unique-identifier-UID [3] https://clarivate.com/blog/getting-the-full-picture-institutional-unificati… [4] https://education.icar.gov.in/Latest_Universal_Student_ID_for_ICAR_for_webs… [5] https://www.thehindu.com/education/registration-of-students-for-unique-iden… for accuracy. **** 3. We should insist that all authors deposit their published work both in *Zenodo.org* and *BASE* in the interest of long term preservation and ease of access to anyone, anywhere, anytime. I have already done that. Both are managed by reputed organizations and are free to use. Librarians in academic and other research-performing institutions may be given training to assist in this. 4. Authors may be persuaded to adopt preprint as the first choice of communication of all new results. There are many of them (and one can obtain a list from COAR), the well-known ones being arXiv, bioRxiv, chemRxiv, SocArXiv, etc. 5. Authors may be persuaded NOT to publish in commercial journals. If they still want to do that they should not pay APC. Certainly NO FUNDING AGENCY SHOULD UNDERWRITE APC. Transferring taxpayers; money to publishers is immoral and unethical. With best wishes, Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658On

Papers matter and not journals or publishers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 May '24

16 May '24

Friends, Often scientists and librarians go by big names. But not all papers in big name journals are top class and not all journals published by big name publishers are decent journals. Please see what is happening at Wiley: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2024/05/15/wiley-shutter-19… https://retractionwatch.com/2023/03/21/nearly-20-hindawi-journals-delisted-… What really matters is what is in an individual paper and NOT in which journal it was published or by which publisher.

CUH Library Introduces a Value Added Course on "Open Access Publishing" for PG II Sem students
by Santosh C. H. 01 May '24

01 May '24

Dear Sir/ Madam, Season's greetings! We are happy to inform you that we recently introduced a Value Added Course on *"Open Access Publishing"* for the PG II Sem. students of Central University of Haryana. This initiative is one of our key initiatives in the domain of open access and is the result of our strong commitment towards promoting open access within our own community. Indeed, we find great possibilities to introduce different meaningful OA initiatives in the University landscape and achieve the possible impact of OA on the academic/ research community. We observe that many of the PG students are unfamiliar with OA publishing and its allied dimensions. Especially, researchers really need hand-holding as they need to be familiar with the publishing avenues in the OA domain. It reminds me of Peter Suber's words <https://openinterview.org/2019/06/29/peter-suber-the-largest-obstacles-to-o…>, "The largest obstacles to open access are unfamiliarity and misunderstanding of open access itself". In this context, it's our small effort to start with a small group of PG students! We are thankful to our authorities and academic fraternity for their support and encouragement for doing our best to promote open access in the Campus. For Course details, please visit https://library.cuh.ac.in/value-added-course/ We welcome your suggestions/ inputs to further improve the course curriculum. Thanks and regards, -- Santosh C. H., PhD <https://santoshch.my.canva.site/home> University Librarian Central University of Haryana <http://cuh.ac.in/> Mahendergarh-123 031 Haryana, India http://library.cuh.ac.in/ Cell: +91-99874 28147 .. -- DISCLAIMER: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Let us follow some standards
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 May '24

01 May '24

Here is a suggestion for members of this forum. Please encourage all researhers - professors and students in academia and scientists in other research performing institutions to have a unique ORCID ID. It would help researchers everywhere navigate the litearature of science and attribute your papers to you unambiguously. Also, place all your papers in the free open access repository Zenodo.org maintained by CERN. Neither of these would take much time. Please spread the word among all Indian researchers (in S&T, humanities, social sciences, etc.) You may also follow standard abbreviations for journal titles as well as ISSN.

Health information is a right – new IFLA statement
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

Health information is a right – new IFLA statement 21 April 2024 Libraries of different types, through providing inclusive access to information can make a major contribution to making the right to health a reality. Governments, in turn, can and should help realise this potential through law, regulation and funding, as a new statement [https://repository.ifla.org/handle/123456789/3276] from IFLA underlines. The COVID-19 pandemic shone a light on the importance of healthcare information. From that used by individuals in deciding how to act, to that applied by professionals in caring for patients, and that helping governments to take key policy decisions, the need for effective access and use was clear. Where there was information, people, professionals and those in power could take better decisions. Where there wasn’t, there were higher risks, missed opportunities, and unnecessary tragedies. Crucially, this access to health information is not equitable, both between individuals and between countries. IFLA’s new Statement on Universal Access to Healthcare Information as a Human Right calls for a stronger recognition of the need to address this situation as a rights issue. This is based on provisions that already exist in international human rights law. The statement stresses that delivering on this right requires a combination of investment in creation of information, work to make it accessible for all, supportive laws and regulations, and close engagement with society. Libraries play a key role in this, as pre-existing and recognised centres in their communities, with a strong understanding of their needs and how best to deliver access to information to them. Nonetheless, their role in providing health information is not always recognised. The statement therefore calls on libraries to work – in their advocacy and practice – to ensure that everyone has access to health information. To allow them to do this, it stresses that governments should clearly recognise the right to health information and pass supportive laws. It also calls for work to support the development of an offer of healthcare information, supporting libraries and other institutions as dissemination and application, and to promote partnerships. The statement was prepared by IFLA’s Special Interest Group on Evidence for Global and Disaster Health [https://www.ifla.org/units/e4gdh/], working with the IFLA's Health and Bioscience Libraries Section [https://www.ifla.org/units/health-and-biosciences-libraries/] , and approved by the IFLA Governing Board on 17 April 2024. We encourage library associations, libraries and the library and information workforce – in particular in heath libraries – to draw on this statement in engaging with health ministries and agencies, representatives of the World Health Organization in your countries, and other stakeholders. Read and download the Statement from IFLA’s Repository https://repository.ifla.org/handle/123456789/3276. (as appeared on the IFLA news website)
