Arun needs the full text of a presentation he made in 2004(?) at ASIS&T
by Subbiah Arunachalam 03 Jan '25

03 Jan '25

Friends, Please do me a favour. Here is the abstract of a paper I presented at Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology <https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/15508390> sometime in 2004 (?). Please see https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/meet.1450400162. At that time, I was volunteering with M S Swaminathan Research Institute, Chennai, essentially working in the area of ICT4D. The only other speaker at the ASIST event I knew was Dr Paul Uhlir, who was with the US National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC. *Subbiah Arunachalam:* *Ethical, Social, Political, Legal, and Economic Issues and Impacts of the Shrinking Public Domain for Developing Countries* We are moving into a knowledge economy in which information is becoming a major source of power. Having and knowing how to use information effectively make all the difference, be it in making a kill in the stock market, producing drugs and pharmaceuticals, weapons that can rake in huge profits, or even acquiring superpower status and dominating the world. One of the most distressing developments of the modern world is the privatization of research by companies small and big at the cost of public good research. Every conceivable development – be it a new drug or new ways of communicating – is now patented and kept away from free and open access. In many conferences held in the USA, members and fellows who are foreign citizens are not allowed to attend certain sessions. The most widespread discrimination is in the matter of access to published information by pricing it out of reach of the developing world. In crucial areas like food and nutrition (agriculture), health care, and computing, privatization of public knowledge is exacerbating the divide between the rich and the poor, which, if it continues for long and crosses a threshold, might lead to undesirable consequences. *** I want the full text of the paper. I do not remember where this event was held (probably 2004). I will be grateful for your help. With warm regards, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

Registration for Special Lecture on "From Taxonomies to Ontologies" by Heather Hedden
by Nabina Khamaru 02 Jan '25

02 Jan '25

Dear Members, We are pleased to announce a special lecture jointly organized by the Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC), Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore Centre, and the International Society for Knowledge Organization (India Chapter). The lecture titled "From Taxonomies to Ontologies" will be delivered by Heather Hedden, Hedden Information Management, Carlisle, MA, USA. *Topic: **"From Taxonomies to Ontologies"* *Speaker: Heather Hedden <https://www.linkedin.com/in/hedden/>* *Abstract: * Taxonomies and ontologies each have their own distinctive benefits. However, uses often overlap. Especially when the goals are improved enterprise information with excellent data findability, analysis, and linking. Fortunately, most currently used taxonomies and ontologies are built on the same basic data model standard - the RDF (Resource Description Framework). Consequently, whether or not taxonomies and ontologies are extended in accordance with other standards they can still easily be connected in the same implementation or wider project. While the technology is not a challenge, what is still needed is a more comprehensive understanding by stakeholders (including subject matter experts) on how, conceptually, to connect taxonomies and ontologies and to extend a taxonomy to have ontology features. *Event details:* *Date*: Tuesday, 14 January 2025 *Time*: 3:00 PM (IST) *Venue*: PJ Auditorium, Indian Statistical Institute *How to Register?* Registration for the lecture is now open. Kindly complete your registration by filling out the following Google Form: *Lecture Registration <https://forms.gle/9E1bfeQLnUWTuzg9A>* We encourage you to secure your spot for this event at the earliest. Please confirm your participation to avoid missing out on this opportunity to engage with global community experts. *Registration Closes by 12 January 2025.* We believe this lecture will be an enriching experience for scholars, practitioners, and professionals in the fields of knowledge organization, information science, enterprise data management, and related domains. We look forward to your response and participation in the event. Presides Dr. Biswanath Dutta Head and Associate Professor DRCT, ISI Bangalore Centre

How a food crisis in India fed America's library collections
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Dec '24

31 Dec '24

Friends, Here is an interesting article from BBC that deserves to be shared widely among Indian librarians, esp. academic and research librarians. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cevj80gld7do Ms Ananya Vajpayee, currently with CSDS, Delhi, was a Ph D student at the University of Chicago, where the great A K Ramanujan was heading the Centre for South Asian Studies and Mr James Nye was heading the South Asia Collection in the library, in 1996. In an interview she gave a few days ago to Mr Soutik Biswas, BBC's India correspondent, and author of this essay, she says, "At the Regenstein Library, I never failed to find the books I needed or get them quickly if they weren't already there." "The books are safe, valued, accessible and used. I've visited libraries, archives and institutions in every part of India and the story in our country is universally dismal. Here they were lost or destroyed or neglected or very often made inaccessible." Shouldn't we, members of the LIS profession, act immediately and make our libraries as user friendly and welcoming as the Regenstein Library in Chicago and other academic libraries in the West? With warm regards and best wishes for a happy, productive and satisfying New Year. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam]

Fwd: 2024 Wrapped
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 Dec '24

24 Dec '24

Friends, Greetings from Chennai, India. The future of knowledge exchange in STEM, social sciences and other areas of scholarship is through preprints supported by post public peer review.* The journal, as we know it, has served us well for over 300 years till men like Robert Maxwell came on the scene and greed of the publishers became the dominant feature and the interest of science and scientists were sacrificed at the altar of their greed. Recall that Maxwell openly said that publishing journals had become a perpetual money making machine. In the past the imperialists came as traders to countries of the Global South and colonized them and plundered their wealth. The case of the British rule of the subcontinent was the best (or should we say the worst) example. This is exactly what is happening now. What is worse, we are willingly inviting the publishers and surrendering to them. At least when the British wanted to subjugate India, there was some, even if only sporadic, resistance, witness the heroic battles waged by Rani Velu Nachiar, Rani Jhansi, Tipu Sultan, and several others. Now we are giving a red carpet welcome to commercial publishers of the West and taking them on a 'bus tour' to our best academic and other research institutes (including IISc!) so they could teach the faculty and doctoral students how to write and submit research papers that would be acceptable to them for publication if one also accepts to pay APC and surrender copyright to one's own intellectual creation, often facilitated by taxpayers' money. I often wonder how a nation which ranks close to the top in inequality can decide to spend its scarce resources on paying APC to publish research papers (which could jolly well be published in other journals which do not charge APC or better still placed in a respectable global archive at no cost). Why can't we follow the example of the US NIH and insist that all research papers resulting from public funding be made publicly available at the same time they appear in a journal? Why can't we have an equivalent of OSTP's Nelson memo? At the least, why can't we implement the CSIR's plan and the DBT-DST mandate of open access through institutional and national level repositories such as Science Central and CSIR Central? With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam *Please see 1. https://council.science/publications/normalization-preprints/ 2. https://blog.sciety.org/sciety-wrapped-2024/?ref=sciety-product-news-newsle…

Makiing Indian research immediate non-APC OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 21 Dec '24

21 Dec '24

Friends, Season's greetings and a Happy and productive New Year. [I have sent the following to many senior indian scientists and librarians]. Many funders of scientific research have either mandated or insist on research funded by them being made open access immediately on publication. Please see: https://claude.ai/chat/87d94ddf-169c-4dfe-af4a-d4f68e365384. Why can't all Indian Govt agencies that fund research mandate immediate open access for all research they fund? Also, they may stop immediately the practice of underwriting Indian researcher's paying APC for publishing their papers. In my view using taxpayers' money to pay APC (and thus enriching publishers some of whom declare profit margins upwards of 25% year after year is unethical and immoral, especially in a country which ranks close to the top in the inequality index). The money we pay as APC (the new ONOS plan has earmarked Rs 1,500 milliion for APC payment every year) can be put to better use - if not for povrty alleviation and improving elementary education, at least for attracting bright students, esp. girls, to science education and research with attractive scholarships or providing researchers with travel grants to attend conferences or visit laboratories other than their own to pursue collaborative research. I will be grateful for your views. With warm regards, Subbiah Arunachalam

Fwd: ONOS
by Francis Jayakanth 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

---------- 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

Sudden demise of Hildrun Kritschmer

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.

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

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

Many books and recordings will come into the public domain soon
by Subbiah Arunachalam 03 Nov '24

03 Nov '24

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!

It includes enhanced cataloging and searchability, user behavior analysis, digital preservation and research and collaboration. The potential of big data analytics also extends to fields such as healthcare, finance, retail, and more, where it is transforming traditional practices. For example, in healthcare, big data analytics can improve patient care by enabling personalized treatment plans and predicting disease outbreaks. This exploration delves into how analytics can identify trends, optimize resource allocation, and personalize treatment plans, leading to more accurate diagnoses and better health outcomes. Through case studies and real-world examples, the seminar highlights the overall concept of big data, the big data analytics and the promising role of big data in revolutionizing libraries and healthcare systems by enabling more informed decision-making and enhancing the quality of care. *Date: 19**/9/2024 (Thursday)* *Time: 3**:30 p.m.* *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. Many thanks Chandrima Roy Marketing Manager Asia ACCUCOMS New Delhi M: +91 9911555451 E: chandrima(a)accucoms.com<mailto:chandrima@accucoms.com> W: www.accucoms.com<http://www.accucoms.com/> Location: India Time zone: IST https://accucoms.com/services-for-libraries/ Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/accucoms-asia Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/accucomsasia

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.

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.
