Many of you have been kindly sharing many interesting news links/ articles with me and I thought that we could evolve a common platform for broader sharing of interesting/ contemporary news in the areas of open science, open access, open data, open educational resources and related IP issues. This monthly newsletter is a small attempt to create a space for sharing and we will be using the crowd sourcing approach for collecting information for this newsletter. The crowd sourcing approach may also ensure openness and sustainability of this newsletter in the long run. So whenever you see any interesting developments relating to the open movements, please do send those links to openscience.in(a)gmail.com also. Needless to say, proper acknowledgments will be given to all the contributors. Please feel free to forward this newsletter to anyone who is interested. Subscription for this newsletter is open to all and anyone can subscribe to this newsletter by sending an email to openscience.in(a)gmail.com with just the subject line "Subscribe". Future issues of this newsletter will be coming from that email ID and if you do not wish to receive this newsletter, just reply to this email with "No". I take this opportunity to also thank all the open science project team members at CIIPC <http://www.ciipc.org>, particularly Anushka, Kuhuk and Rishika, for making this newsletter a reality! This may not be the most perfect newsletter. But with your critical comments and suggestions, I do hope that we will be able to collectively improve the quality of this newsletter. best regards, arul ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Open Science India <openscience.in(a)gmail.com> Date: 7 September 2016 at 19:34 Subject: Open Science Newsletter: Issue 1 (July- August, 2016) To: arul.scaria(a)nludelhi.ac.in Newsletter: Issue 1 (July- August, 2016) Open Science NASA makes its scientific research and data available for public access https://www.nasa.gov/open/researchaccess/pubspace All the NASA funded research articles and research data will be made available for public access through its online archive PubSpace within one year of publication.

This project involves preventing universities from selling inventions to patent trolls through a legislation. This legislation requires university technology transfer offices to adopt a policy committing them to manage patent assets in the public interest and voids any agreement to license or transfer a patent to a patent assertion entity.

Excel errors discovered in research papers due to open access https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/08/26/an-al arming-number-of-scientific-papers-contain-excel-errors An analysis published in the Genome Biology journal shows that 1 out of 5 scientific papers in the field of genetics contain errors in their gene lists that were attributable to automatic conversions of gene names to things like calendar dates or random numbers by Excel. The papers analysed for this purpose include publications in journals like Nature, Science and PLoS One. Such problems were identified only because these papers were in open access and it is suggested to use R and Python to curb these errors.

Through this process, the Commission is aiming to reduce the transaction costs and legal uncertainties that many researchers face for carrying out text and data mining on content they have lawful access to. In 2014, the UK had introduced a similar exception and the UK legislation can be found here <http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1372/contents/made>. Oil and gas industry ready to join the open source world http://fuelfix.com/blog/2016/08/25/oil-companies-joining-ope n-source-world-by-sharing-data Landmark, a technology unit of the energy services company Halliburton, has decided to unveil a cloud-computing platform that will allow companies to collaborate on developing software to process massive volumes of data they collect on the oil and gas industry. The aim is to provide open access to the code on which the platform is based, which would further allow faster analysis of the data. Analysis of such data has been helping gas companies identify plant problems, avoid shut-downs and also to come up with new ways to extract more oil and gas at lower costs.

ReBlook: The Lectures on PunerMILAN of Ranganathan
by Sunil MV 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Dear LIS Friends, Greetings from MILAN ! On the occasion of quasquicentennial Birthday Celebration of S.R. Ranganathan, the Mysore University Information and Library Science Alumni Network (MILAN) starts a new series of lectures on the works of SRR which have had formidable influence on the growth of library science as an academic field. Born in 1892, Ranganathan, the mathematician-turned-librarian, put India prominently on the world map of library science. But for his contribution, the library profession would not have flourished in India in the foregone century. As students of library science, it is high time to have a re-look in relation to the modern age. There is a growing tendency to dismiss the seminal works of Ranganathan as being obsolete. There is also a large chunk of professional who believe that Ranganathan is more relevant today than ever before. It is the right time to examine his works in this digitally confused era with an intention of drawing new inspiration to move forward. Acting on the need-of-the-hour, MILAN contemplates to run a series of lectures under the title "ReBlook: The Lectures on PunerMILAN of Ranganathan". ReBlook contains the three main elements found in five laws – Reader (R), Book (B) and L (Library). Blook is a new genre of book which emanates from blogs – thus symbolically representing the new generation resource and also the symbiosis between the printed and digital resources. The word Reblook intrinsically contain the concept re-look and thus representing the purpose of the lecture series. The word PunerMILAN is deliberately spelled the way it has been shown to represent the re-meeting of the modern world with Ranganathan and also to represent the alumni association MILAN. The ReBlook series would be launched on 17th September 2016. It is intended that the lectures would be arranged at different places of the country with the help of MILANers and also some local collaborating agencies at various places. It is hoped that this effort of MILAN will re-sensitize the call for serious research into Ranganathan’s contributions. Requesting your suggestions, views and collaboration in this initiative.

I may recall that When Sri A C Deve Gowda was the president of Mysore Library Association (now KSLA) in early 1970s (Sri Vikunta Baliga was the speaker of Mysore Legislative Assembly ) there was a move to celebrate the National Library Week coinciding with the birthday of Ranganathan. Ranganathan was very much alive that time. However, the Calcutta group more importantly (it was rumored) the then heads of National Library and INSDOC succeeded in deciding November 2nd week as National Library week. The Hyderabad based Academy of Library Science and Documentation (ALSD) started Librarians Day celebration in late 1970s and others followed the suit till today. Professor Neelameghan was very much aware of it.

At the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science the practice was to observe the birthday on any day between 9th and 12th August. However, 12th August has been officially declared as Librarians' day. Prof. Neelameghan had once told me that Dr. Ranganathan did not approve of any function / celebrations even on his birthday. But mortals that we are, we need something to ring the bell and wake us up from slumber and I believe that the celebrations are purely for that purpose.
