Science & Technology Metrics 2019
by Francis Jayakanth 11 Jul '19

11 Jul '19

From: Diana Christy, fgct(a)socio.org.uk Thu Jul 11 15:16:43 2019 First International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2019) Bangkok, Thailand December 02-04, 2019 (www.socio.org.uk/stm) Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement and translating the measures to work better. Metric is not confined to draw numbers and analyze. 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 are witnessing the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2019) conference is concerned with how the use of many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, the STMetrics will host a number of workshops and tutorials related to the theme of the conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology System. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical as well as practical aspects and application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet address the below themes, not limited. Citation-based metrics Ranking Systems Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries Discipline and Domain Analysis Economic factors Databases and datasets for evaluation Evaluation Tools and Indicators Web-based metrics Visibility and impact Internationalization Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis National Evaluation Systems Open access and open publishing New indices for evaluation Altmetrics Web-based metrics Data Science and Digital Repositories Scientific Visualization e-Science in the Cloud Scientific Journalism Scientific Publications Track 1: Open Science Science relies on the sharing of ideas, research results, data, and methods. Quite often many scientific discoveries and innovations fail to reach the society because of the closed scientific publications. If Science is built based on existing knowledge it needs to reach every one and hence Open Science leads the knowledge transaction. This track addresses the challenges and issues and pave the way to develop and nurture open science. Track 2: Peer Review Peer review is the process by which experts critically examine the research contributions using standard metrics. Peer review helps maintain and enhance quality both directly by detecting weaknesses and errors in specific works. These reviews enable to decide publication, research grants, employment, promotion, and tenure. Peer review promotes accountability and improves the quality of work. Track 3: Content and Text mining based metrics This track enables to present works that use numeric indices to process unstructured (textual) information and to build various data mining (statistical and machine learning) algorithms. Information can be extracted to derive summaries for the words contained in the documents or to compute summaries for the documents based on the words contained in them. One can analyze words, clusters of words used in documents, and we could analyze documents and determine similarities between them or how they are related to other variables. The studies of text mining will “turn text into numbers” (meaningful indices), which can then be incorporated in other analyses. All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors of developing countries. Track 4: Technology Transfer Metrics The technology transfer enables the outreach of the research outcomes to a wider level. The technology transfer measures are of interest to practitioners, program managers, and policymakers in the evaluation of technology transfer programs. Building metrics can lead to a better measurement of effectiveness, efficiency, and return on investment. The introduction of newer metrics will be helpful to identify the benchmarking tools. The proposed track will discuss the currently existing metrics and the research on the development of new metrics as well as their applications. Chair: Mohammad Hassanzadeh, Tarbiat Modares University, Iran Track 5: Open Science Metrics The primary goal of this track is to enable to construct, identify, and specify relevant metrics and indicators for open science. Measuring the extent of openness in science and creating or using metrics is important. Measuring Open science help to realize the innovation. We can thus find how collaboration and knowledge sharing occurs and how institutions work on it. Openness also yields enormous data and knoweldge. This track gauge using available data about openness in science. The post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1. Journal of Digital Information Management 2. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 3. Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia 4. Special Section in Research Evaluation 5.

Budget 2019, Books & Libraries
by Sathyanarayana NV 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

The union budget for 2019-20 presented by our fist lady Finance Minister of India has something literally striking at book lovers and libraries. This is perhaps the first budget since 1947 that has taxed printed books by levying 5% import duty. The reason given is: this step would promote local publishing industry. Should a democratic society discriminate knowledge by its origin? Such a step was attempted in Karnataka when S M Krishna was the Chief Minister. The tax was rolled back quickly as the authors’ community, publishers and the Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) strongly protested then. If there is one thing in the world that knows no boundary, it is knowledge. Knowledge by nature is universal. Books are the most reverential symbol and embodiment of knowledge. Taxing books and knowledge on the grounds of their origin is a highly retrograde steps. There are already protests in the media seeking to roll-back this tax. It is time the libraries and publishing industry come out and appeal to the Government through their respective professional groups and associations. |N. V.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Budget 2019, Books & Libraries- my response to tax in imported books
by Manjunath K 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Dear Colleagues, Our senior well-wisher Sathyanarayana has said rightly that knowledge has no boundary. The FM should not have considered imported books under tax range. We librarians are at receiving end and may have limited voice against policy makers/Govt. but we should not escape from the scene that it is not our problem. It is our problem and our professionals and LIS forums/associations should take steps raise collective voice. Like many NGOs do, Let our associations/forums seek collective opinion through survey and submit it to Govt for consideration and show our concern. At the same time our business partners such as publishers, distributors, vendors and their Associations should raise their voice against taxing on imported books. Supporting national publishers and authors is a welcoming act. But it should ensure that similar quality products are in market and authors also contribute to high quality books. Let Govt takes step to encourage authors to write high quality books and the market is blessed with quality products, teachers also may prefer national books. Let Govt. create self-sufficient environment. Govt of India is creating several institutions/Universities of Eminence in the country. Let these institutions enrich the country with publications of eminence and matching international standards. When our mother land is able to publish world class books and journals, our academicians dependency on international research papers and books get reduced significantly and we may see our publications sparkling in international markets. Let govt. extend all support and encouragement to make country embedded with very high quality books and journals. International publishers who are proud of quality publications and charging us heavily should feel the heat of competition from India. Let us wish India stands very of high with its quality intellectual output and give tough competitions against heavy charging publishers and create a fear of replacement.

Monitor UK
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Friends: Some recent posts on this Forum expressed concern about the dwindling standards of the profession and the need to improve the quality of the services libraries provide. I have a suggestion for LIS professionals *Monitor UK* provides a fantastic service in the area of paid publishing of research. Please see https://monitor.jisc.ac.uk/uk/about/ If we could create a *Monitor India* and provide data on transactional costs at the institutional, funder and publisher level (similar to what is being done in the UK) it would be very useful. I do not know how difficult the task would be. In my view, India should not spend a single rupee on APC. Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series
by Tushar Popat 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Dear Librarians, Greetings from RapidRadio Solutions, Ahmedabad. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series"* - a new initiative/effort from RapidRadio Solutions to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 1st July to 31st August 2019. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates is available on http://library.rapidradio.co.in/workshop/. *First workshop in the series is at Vikram Sarabhai Library, IIM Ahmedabad. The registration is still open. Book your seat before the registration closes.* RapidRadio along this journey of 12 long years have acquired more than 150 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to library fraternity for trusting this young RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading player in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that decision to purchase RFID system & executing the project, after decision is made has been one of the toughest job for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how did they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers is available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form.

National Education Policy, 2019 (Draft) and Libraries
by Sathyanarayana NV 29 Jun '19

29 Jun '19

Dear friends of LIS Profession The Ministry of Human Resources Development released the National Education Policy (NEP) 2019 (final draft) early this month inviting public opinion and feedback from all stakeholders. The good news is, unlike in the earlier draft report of NEP released in 2016 as an input to the policy which mentioned the word library just in one place coming as part of a quote, NEP 2019 mentions library in more than 30 instances, in its 480 page report, spread over 23 chapters. But the disappointment is, library is just mentioned in a few contexts as part of various infrastructure support. As policy guideline, there are only two statements on libraries: - “Expansion of school and public libraries and building a culture of reading and communication” (p68)’ - “Enhancing access to libraries and online journals” (p241) – This policy statement in particular suggests setting up a mechanism to enable the Government to be the single buyer for online access to journals for all public institutions to replace the present practice of funding premier institutions for subscriptions to journals. The treatment given to library is more of a “such as” facility. In October 2017, the committee set up for developing the new NEP 2019 had arranged a meeting of a few librarians in NAAC, Bangalore. This group of librarians had given a set of thirteen policy recommendations. None of these recommendations is found as specific policy statement in the NEP 2019 draft report which is surprising. I consider it important that the LIS groups initiate quick debate on NEP 2019 (draft) and its implications on the future of libraries in the country if accepted without according adequate and appropriate focus on library as an integral part of and yet distinct role player in education. It is highly desirable that LIS groups and in particular the professional associations like ILA, IASLIC and others initiate quick debate to evolve a national library policy document and submit to the NEP 2019 (draft) committee for inclusion as a distinct chapter in the report. |N.
