Dear Professional Friends, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc and Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) invites you for an event on the celebration of National Library Week 2022. Date & Time: 18th November 2022 @ 4:00 pm Venue: Faculty Hall, Main Building, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru Keynote Address: Title: AR, VR, MR : How Does it Matter - A Human Factor Analysis of Metaverse Speaker: Prof. Pradipta Biswas, Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM), IISc Abstract: The Covid 19 pandemic and associated work-from-home culture reignites the importance of immersive media. Major industries used various terms like Metaverse (Facebook), Mesh (Microsoft), Nth Floor (Accesnture) and so on to invest and commercialize immersive media related products. Traditionally, immersive media is described through a continuum between reality and virtual reality along with intermediate systems known as Augmented and Mixed Reality systems. In the middle of the commercialization efforts and advertisements from software giants, end users are often confused about the best solution for their needs. There are not many studies on analysing end users’ feedback across the continuum of immersive media. This talk will present analysis on ocular parameters and EEG power bands of different brain regions while users undertook pointing and selection tasks using state-of-the-art AR, MR and VR media. In parallel, novel case studies will be presented from Aerospace, Smart Manufacturing and Assistive Technology involving XR technologies.

Share of OA in peer
by Subbiah Arunachalam 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

Dutch universities take another big step towards 100% Open Access 25 October 2022 Dutch universities published 82% of their peer-reviewed scientific publications Open Access in 2021. This is an increase of nine percentage points compared to 2020. For UU, the percentage is 80.7%. According to InCites (from Clarivate) less than 29% of papers published from India in the three years 2019-2021 are OA. We have a long way to go. If we want to move towards 100% OA, then our researchers should place their preprints in one of the tens of global preprint servers. For a list, please see https://doapr.coar-repositories.org/. Or they can place their postprints (immediately on acceptance by a journal) in an interoperable institutional repository (e.g. the one at ICRISAT, Hyderabad; and Eprints@CMFRI).

Copyright to research papers should vest with authors
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Friends and Members of the LIS Forum, In an interview given to *SciDevNet* in 2009, Prof. Padmanabhan Balaram said, "I argue that we should be permitted to put in the repository the full text article as it appears in a journal. For this, countries such as India should have a law specifying that the copyright for articles published with publicly-funded research always vests with the authors and their institutions. [See https://www.scidev.net/global/features/q-a-open-archives-the-alternative-to… ]. Prof. Peter Suber of Harvard University has argued that journals DO NOT NEED exclusive rights to publish papers. Please see https://journals.publishing.umich.edu/jep/article/id/1869/?s=03. Here is Suber's Abstract: "Journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights. Or, they don’t need them for publishing. They don’t need them to make a work public or to add value in the form of peer review, copy editing, metadata, formatting, discoverability, or preservation. Nor do they need them to make enough money to pay their bills and grow. Publishers only need exclusive rights for monopoly control over the published work and any revenue it might yield. Publishers who say they need exclusive rights are saying they need this monopoly control. The best evidence that journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights is that so many peer-reviewed journals do without them, for example, open access journals using CC-BY." Thirteen years have passed since Prof. Balaram wrote about the need for retention of rights. Have the Current Science Association, IASc, INSA, NASI and government agencies such as DST, DBT, CSIR, ICAR, IICMR, DAE and UGC written to the Government of India about this issue? Probably not. I suggest that librarians of all Higer Educational Institutions (HEIs) and other research performing institutions (RPIs) in the country write to the Members of the Lok Sabha from their constituencies requestig them to enact such a law. You may also talk to your Vice Chancellors/ Directors to adopt a Rights Retention policy at your institution. Regards. Arun

Discourage paying APC to publishers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Friends and fellow information scientists, This will be of interest: https://www.aaas.org/sites/default/files/2022-10/OpenAccessSurveyReport_Oct… . Please impress upon researchers in your institutions that 1. If research is supported by public funding, then using taxpayers' money to pay APC is immoral and unethical. [Please remember that in publicly funded research APC is almost always paid out of taxpayers' money given to the researcher for the purpose of doing research and not to be given away to publishers] 2. They could gain instant visibility to their work, as soon as it is ready for publication, by placing it in a preprint server virtually at no cost. For a list of OA repositories, please see https://doapr.coar-repositories.org/repositories/. You may also propose the adoption of a Rights Retention Policy by your institution. That would mean no more copyright transfer to the journal publisher. The publisher will only have the exclusive right to publish the paper first.

Institutional Repositories
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Friends, There is much talk about open access in India but if we talk about action we have a long way to go. I would even say OA in India is a story of missed opportunities. More than 20 years ago, thanks to the efforts of Dr T B Rajashekar and Dr Francis Jayakanth, NCSI at IISc set up the first institutional repository for research papers based on EPrints. That repository is not only the first in India but one of the earliest in the world. But we lost the lead. Incidentally, EPrints was the first software for repositories and it was developed by a group of researchers at the University of Southampton's Department of Electronics and Computer Science, where Prof. Stevan Harnad, the archevangelist of open access, was on the faculty. Here is a fabulous talk (52 min) on institutional repositories by an expert in scholarly communication and one of the pioneers of the OA movement, Dr Alma Swan, who was also associated for some years with the Univ. of Southampton: https://hstalks.com/t/2293/institutional-repositories/. Although delivered more than 10 years ago, what she spoke is applicable to us today. Dr Alma Swan has played an important role in promoting OA in India and the developing world. She spoke at a special session on OA at the 63rd Indian Science Congress at Hyderabad in 2006. She convinced Dr David Hoisington, Deputy Director of ICRISAT (who had not yet made up his mind when Dr Balaji, the head of Knowledge Resources at ICRISAT had put together all that was needed) that it would be good to have an IR, and that led the entire IGCAR system to adopt IRs. She also came to India in 2006 for a three-day international workshop hosted jointly by IASc, IISc and MSSRF and spoke to delegates from India, China, Brazil, South Africa and a few other countries from the Global South, and helped draft an OA policy for developing countries, that came to be known as the Bangalore declaration. Please see MEETING REPORT: Open access and developing countries Barbara Kirsop, Current Science, Vol. 92, No. 3 (10 February 2007) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/i24096703>, pp. 276-277. https://www.jstor.org/stable/24096714.
