Preprint ban in grant applications deemed ‘plain ludicrous’
by Mohan Hr 14 Oct '21

14 Oct '21

Preprint ban in grant applications deemed ‘plain ludicrous’ Australia’s major research funder has ruled more than 20 fellowship applications ineligible because they mentioned preprints and other non-peer reviewed materials. The decision sparked an outcry from scientists, who say the move is a blow to open science and will stymie careers. At a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the use of preprints to the fore, researchers say the Australian Research Council’s stance is out of step with modern publishing practices and at odds with that of other funding agencies. The Australian Research Council’s decision to reject early career funding applications that mention preprints is hopelessly outdated, say scientists. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02318-8 Quite strange. It is a unwelcome move. It will discourage scientific research. Requires to be relooked.

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 12 October 2021 11:51 Third International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2021) Virtual Event December 06-08, 2021 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) POST-CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS PUBLICATION Building metrics is the key to science and technology, measurement, and translating the measures to work better. Metric is not confined to drawing 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 have witnessed the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) 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, 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 the Science and Technology System. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarize themselves with theoretical as well as practical aspects and the application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops, and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet addresses the below themes, not limited. Citation-based metrics 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 All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind 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. Paper review and publication process The committee will classify the papers as Theory, Methodological, Experimental, Seminal, review, replicability, reproducibility and repeatability. Repeatability papers will be rejected. The papers even after acceptance will be completely edited to ensure fair presentation. Each paper gets DOI and subjected for publication in the journals listed. The papers will be published as open conference proceedings. Registration Fees There is no registration fee for authors and participants. 1. Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Frontiers in Research Metrics 3. Journal of Scientometric Research 4. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 5. Research in Production and Development There is no publication fee for the papers selected for the above journals.

the first IFLA newsletter! When we carried out our first ever survey of IFLA’s Members two years ago, a key thing you highlighted was your desire to understand more about our Federation, what we are doing, and how to get involved. The last two years has seen intense work to deliver. Already in August, we launched our new governance structures, focused on trying to make IFLA easier to understand and work with, as well as our new website. And now, today, I am thrilled to share our first newsletter, bringing you a selection of the work carried out for you, with you, by you, in support of a strong and united library field powering literate, informed and participatory societies.

Barbara Lison: I have always been especially committed to library policy and library advocacy, marketing and governance issues. I know the impact of successful networking with partners from within and outside the library field. And supporting networking and political activities is a major task for library associations. Therefore I started my in involvement in these associations – both those bringing together institutions and library staff - quite early in my professional career. I did this step-by-step, from the regional to the national level, then I “jumped” into the European context with EBLIDA and also through the participation in EU funded projects. My first IFLA commitment was the support of the German national committee in its bid for WLIC 2003 in Berlin. I participated in that Congress as volunteer and as First-Timer and since then I was indeed “infected” by the IFLA spirit. My experience as Member of the Governing Board 2011-2013 and 2013-2015 showed me the opportunities and challenges IFLA has to support the Global Library Field. I was especially fascinated by the combination of professional work and advocacy activities which IFLA has taken on since the Presidency of Claudia Lux. My decision to run for President-elect and – hopefully – become IFLA-President was motivated by this challenge to lead this global organisation to show the world the relevance of libraries for the future of humanity. A great word, yes! But I absolutely believe in this! | | | Read the full interview → | | | | | Barbara Lison IFLA President, 2021 - 2023 | | | | | | | | | | IN THE FIELD | | Bringing the field together, globally: IFLA President engages with Members IFLA’s new President Barbara Lison has been active in participating in events organised by IFLA Members, talking about our Federation’s work and priorities, and helping more colleagues to benefit from being part of a global field.

PLOS Pathogens to offer authors seamless data deposition to Dryad
by Sagar Londhe 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Respected All, The Public Library of Science (PLOS) today announced that *PLOS Pathogens* is introducing a new technology solution that makes depositing data simpler and more accessible for our authors. As part of a one-year trial beginning October 5, 2021, *PLOS Pathogens *authors now have the option to upload their data files directly to Dryad Digital Repository <https://datadryad.org/stash/> (https://datadryad.org/stash/) during manuscript submission or revision—without even leaving our submission system.* PLOS Pathogens* is among the first journals in our field to offer this new service. Thanks to a grant from the Wellcome Trust <https://theplosblog.plos.org/2021/09/wellcome-trust-awards-plos-a-grant-to-…> (https://plos.io/3oAOeiu) datasets that are part of the trial will be hosted in perpetuity at no cost to authors. Researchers rely on access to scientific data to enhance their understanding of published research, for purposes of verification, replication and reanalysis, to guide future investigations, and to inform systematic reviews or meta-analyses. Depositing data in a repository (as opposed to offering it upon request or publishing as Supporting Information) further prevents data loss, improves discoverability, and removes barriers to replication and reuse. This new integrated solution means that it takes just minutes to upload a dataset and receive a unique, citable Dryad DOI. If a manuscript is accepted for publication, the associated dataset will undergo Dryad’s screening and curatorial process and become public on the site, with links to and from the published research article. “Dryad has long supported the PLOS Data Policy and author communities in publishing curated research data, and we are thrilled to continue working closer with PLOS,” said Daniella Lowenberg, Dryad Product Manager. “This integration and pilot with *PLOS Pathogens* will allow for researchers to more seamlessly ensure that they are complying with the policy, making data available for review, and publishing higher quality data in a long-term citable home.” Data repositories like Dryad offer important advantages <https://plos.org/open-science/open-data/#dryad>, including data preservation and tracking, facilitating reproducibility, demonstrating rigor, and attracting citations. This integration offers a simple, intuitive interface that makes depositing data with Dryad a part of our authors' normal submission workflow. The process is no more challenging than uploading data as Supporting Information, but much more effective as a vehicle for sharing. The year-long trial will show whether a more streamlined process inspires authors to take advantage of the benefits of a data repository. About the Public Library of Science PLOS is a nonprofit, open access publisher empowering researchers to accelerate progress in science and medicine by leading a transformation in research communication. Since our founding in 2001, PLOS journals have helped break boundaries in research communication to provide more opportunities, choice, and context for researchers and readers. For more information, visit http://www.plos.org. About Dryad Dryad is a curated, open source, data repository that, alongside disciplinary repositories, supports researchers from all disciplines and also meets the needs of researchers for whom there is no true domain home. Dryad was founded in 2009 by researchers seeking an open solution for curating and publishing their research data alongside scholarly literature. Since its inception, Dryad has curated, published, and preserved over 40,000 datasets across the global scientific enterprise. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/930457 Regards, -- Mr.Sagar B.
