Just Published - 'Information Economy Report 2009'
by Puna Das 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Just Published - 'Information Economy Report 2009' The Information Economy Report 2009: Trends and Outlook in Turbulent Times is the fourth in a series published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The report is one of the few publications to monitor global trends in information and communication technologies (ICTs) as they affect developing countries. It serves as a valuable reference for policymakers in those nations. It gives special attention to the impact of the global financial crisis on ICTs. Contents: * Global and regional trends in the diffusion of ICTs such as fixed and mobile telecommunications, Internet, and broadband * Ranking of the most dynamic economies in terms of increased ICT connectivity between 2003 and 2008 * Monitoring of the "digital divide" * Survey of national statistical offices on the use of ICT in the business sector * A review of the changing patterns in the trade of ICT goods * A mapping of the new geography in the offshoring of IT and ICT-enabled services * Policy recommendations on how developing countries can reap greater benefits from ICT * A statistical annex with global ICT data. The Information Economy Report 2009 (IER 2009) offers a fresh assessment of the diffusion of key ICT applications between 2003 and 2008. While fixed telephone subscriptions are now in slight decline, mobile and Internet use continues to expand rapidly in most countries and regions. At the same time, there is a widening gap between high-income and low-income countries in broadband connectivity. Broadband penetration is now eight times higher in developed than in developing countries. The report explores policy options for countries seeking to improve broadband connectivity. The IER 2009 includes a chapter on the use of ICTs in the business sector. Drawing on unique data, it examines how ICT use differs both between and within countries, highlighting the rural-urban divide as well as that between large and small companies. The report recommends that governments in developing countries give more attention to ICT uptake and use by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as they are lagging behind larger firms. And it discusses those aspects of ICT where government intervention can make a difference. A third chapter is devoted to the impact of the financial crisis on ICT trade. While a growing share of exports of ICT goods and services is accounted for by developing economies, especially in Asia, the crisis has affected goods and services quite differently. ICT goods are among the categories of trade most negatively affected by the recession, while IT and ICT-related services appear to be among the most resilient. A statistical annex to the report provides data on ICT infrastructure, ICT use, and ICT trade for up to 200 economies. A PDF version of the IER 2009 and its statistical annex are downloadable from the UNCTAD website (www.unctad.org/ier) from 23 October 2009.

Fw: COAR establishes a global knowledge infrastructure

----- Forwarded Message ---- From: "Peters, Dale" <peters(a)SUB.UNI-GOETTINGEN.DE> To: AMERICAN-SCIENTIST-OPEN-ACCESS-FORUM(a)LISTSERVER.SIGMAXI.ORG Sent: Wed, 28 October, 2009 20:49:40 Subject: COAR establishes a global knowledge infrastructure PRESS RELEASE COAR establishes a global knowledge infrastructure The international Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) was launched in Ghent on 21 October, during Open Access Week 2009. The aim of the organisation is the networking of over 1000 global scientific repositories comprising peer reviewed publications under the principle of Open Access. This will be achieved by means of common data standards and the co-ordination of scientific research policy development. Coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the Berlin Declaration to provide free and unrestricted access to sciences and human knowledge representation worldwide, COAR takes responsibility for the execution of this vision in bringing together scientific repositories in a wider organisational infrastructure to link confederations across continents and around the globe in support of new models of scholarly communication. “The networking of online publications and research data sets will open new opportunities for research and the teaching of all disciplines in the 21st century”, said the founding Chairperson, Dr Norbert Lossau, Director of the State and University Library of Goettingen, emphasising the significance of COAR. “As proven managers of information, libraries are working hand in hand with information specialists, computer scientists and researchers to lend reality to a world-wide network of scientific repositories.” COAR emerged from the European DRIVER project, (Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research), funded by the EU Commission under the 6th and 7th Framework Programmes for e-Infrastructures. Among the 28 founding members of COAR, 23 organisations are based in 13 European countries; others in China (Chinese Academy of Sciences), Japan (National Institute of Informatics and the Digital Repository Federation), Canada (Canadian Association of Research Libraries) and the USA (University of Arizona for the Global Registries Initiative). As the membership continues to grow, interest in COAR is reflected in numerous related organisations, such as the SURF Foundation, JISC, SPARC Europe and eIFL.net, as well as OCLC and Microsoft Research, all of whom support of a common strategic objective to make research findings freely accessible to science and society. The early bird membership fee of EURO 100 is valid until 31 December 2009, open to not-for-profit organisations engaged in higher education, as well as individuals who support the aims of the Association. To register your own interest in becoming a member of COAR, please contact Dr Dale Peters (peters@sub.uni-goettingen.deCC:lossau@sub.uni-goettingen.de) ------------------------------------------ Dr D Peters Scientific Technical Manager DRIVER II State and University Library of Goettingen peters(a)sub.uni-goettingen.de Tel: +49 551 39 5242 Fax: +49 551 39 5222 Mobile:+49 (0)160 989 67663 ------------------------------------------ http://www.driver-repository.eu/ http://www.driver-support.eu/en/ ---------------------------------- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Electronic technology and information are mutually-reinforcing phenomena and one of the key aspects of living in the information society is the growing level of interactions we have with this complex and increasingly electronic environment. The general consequences of the information society are threefold: larger volumes of information, new forms and aggregations of information, and new tools for working with information.

Global Research Report - Research and Collaboration in India - The New Geography of Science
by Dhanukumar Pattanashetti 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Dear Moderator, Please post this to LIS Forum. Thank you. Dear Professionals, Thomson Reuters recently released the Global Research Report – India. This report is part of a series launched by Thomson Reuters to inform policymakers about the changing landscape and dynamics of the global research base. Web of Science is the key resource leveraged in publishing this report. Key highlights of Global Research Report - India: - In the last decade, India has seen a substantial growth in its annual output of scientific publications as indexed by Thomson Reuters—from roughly 16,500 in 1998 to nearly 30,000 in 2007, an increase of some 80%. - Particularly striking is the rise in India’s annual growth rate in the last seven or eight years, based on its successive percentage increases in the number of published papers. India’s growth in this regard, although largely static through the 1990s, has vaulted in recent years to rival comparable figures from such well-established European and Asian nations as Japan, France, German, and the United Kingdom. - If its growth trajectory continues, India’s productivity will be on par with most G8 nations within seven to eight years and will overtake them between within the next decade. - India’s areas of scientific concentration and strength, as reflected in the Thomson Reuters database, embrace a diversity of key fields: Chemistry, Agricultural Sciences, Materials, Engineering, and Space Science. India’s historical strength in agriculture, in particular, can be discerned from its concentration in such subfields as Agricultural Engineering, Dairy & Animal Science, and Agronomy. The nation is also strongly represented in medical subfields, including Tropical Medicine, Integrative & Complementary Medicine, and Medicinal Chemistry. - India has established stable and growing research partnerships with a variety nations — notably, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Among international institutions, India has published frequently with such world-class organizations as the University of Tokyo and the University of Texas system, not to mention with institutions in other emerging research economies in the East, including those in China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. - In all, India’s current rise in science is as impressive as its economic surge of recent years, and as India builds on its scientific enterprise and further diversifies its research base and its collaborative networks, the nation is certain to claim its place at the forefront of world science.
