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.

Importance of preprints
by Subbiah Arunachalam 26 Oct '22

26 Oct '22

Friends, The world of science and scholarship is moving towards accepting the advantages of adopting preprints as the primary means of scholarly exchange, albeit slowly. Luke Drury of the International Science Council is a formidable advocate of preprints. See the ISC Occasional paper https://council.science/publications/normalization-preprints/. Prachee Avasthi of Dartmouth College is another to champion the transition to preprints. Please see: https://twitter.com/PracheeAC/status/1584617942985375744?s=20&t=ngRdjLQdbQ1… . You may also listen to the keynote talk given by Prof. Bjoern Brembs earlier this year at the 2002 Annual meeting of COAR, where he pleaded for defunding journals. His paper "Replacing academic journals" [ https://zenodo.org/record/5526635] is a useful introduction too. Best wishes.

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Oct 20, 2022 at 5:36 AM Subject: NISO Plus 2023 Call for Proposals! To: <LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu> From: NISO Announce <niso-announce(a)niso.org> Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2022 11:00:45 -0400 **Apologies for cross posting** What do you see as top priorities for the information community right now? What are our biggest challenges and opportunities? How should we be addressing them? And who should be involved? If you have ideas to share, then we warmly invite you to submit a proposal <https://forms.gle/1p24R8DVKeCXdssX7> for the NISO Plus 2023 conference <https://niso.plus/>, taking place online on February 14-16 2023. It’s the perfect opportunity for you to engage with other individuals and organizations from across the information community — and around the world — on the hot topics that you and your organization care about. What’s more, where appropriate, the ideas that generate the most interest then get taken forward as potential NISO work projects! Broad topics of interest include (but aren't limited to): archiving and preservation; cutting-edge ideas; global issues; information quality and ethics; metadata; metrics; open research; research infrastructure; and sustainability. As part of our ongoing efforts to improve and support diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the information community <https://groups.niso.org/higherlogic/ws/public/download/26870>, we strongly encourage, and will prioritize, proposals that reflect a variety of perspectives — geographical, organizational, functional, etc — and that acknowledge and address DEIA challenges and opportunities. We therefore recommend that your proposal includes either confirmed speakers or examples of who you plan to invite to speak. Please note that all sessions will comprise a live screening of pre-recorded presentations (45 minutes maximum), followed by a live online audience discussion period (30-45 minutes), so your presentations must be ready for recording during December 2022 and January 2023. This call for proposals will be open through November 7, 2022. All submissions will be reviewed by a subset of the NISO Plus 2023 Planning Committee <https://niso.plus/np23-planning-committee/>, and we will inform everyone of their decision during the first week of December. We very much look forward to hearing your ideas! Thanks and best wishes The NISO Team NISO 3600 Clipper Mill Road, Suite 302 Baltimore, MD 21211 Phone: 301.654.2512 E-mail: nisohq(a)niso.org
