MILAN invited talk 'How to get it published in reputed publications' - Summary
by Sunil M.V 04 May '21

04 May '21

Dear Professionals, Greetings from MILAN Mysore and trust this email finds you well. Mysore University Information and Library Science Alumni Network (MILAN - http://www.milan-mysore.org/ ) organized an invited talk (Virtual Mode) on "How to get it published in reputed publications" by MILANer Dr. Manju Naika, Chief Library Officer, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) on Saturday, May 1, 2021. *Sharing the summary of the talk for your kind information. * Dr. Manju Naika began his presentation with the role of Librarians in helping users and discussed India's current global position in terms of research publications. The speaker emphasised the need to assist users by offering training programs in best publishing practices, such as author seminars, centralized language editing, and familiarising new generations of users with current research resources and global research practices. Dr. Naika opined that it is the librarian's responsibility to create awareness about how to avoid plagiarism and publishing in predatory journals amongst their users. Sharing his experience, the speaker said the next emerging field in scholarly communication is scholarly content in multimedia format like video journals, video articles etc. Dr. Manju Naika emphasized the need to establish contact with users which is critical to librarians' success in the modern era. Data visualization, Data analytics services are in demand, and librarian's should use the opportunity to provide such assistance. The speaker opined that libraries are notorious for having diminishing budgets, but now, due to the real estate boom, there is a demand for library space from others, so unless librarians take the required measures, retaining library space would be the next obstacle. To contend with, Dr. Manju suggested that librarians should work proactively to increase library resource utilisation and user footfalls. After the presentation, a lively discussion took place with the participants, and the speaker answered all the questions raised by the users with suitable examples. Dr. Sunil MV, Executive Committee (EC) Member, MILAN, welcomed the gathering and introduced the speaker. Dr. Shalini R. Urs, President, MILAN, shared perspectives on the topic. Dr. Meera, B.M., Secretary, MILAN, presented the vote of thanks. The EC Members and MILANers were present. Regards, Dr. Sunil M.V.

by Centre for Informatics Research and Development 02 May '21

02 May '21

Readers: Informatics Studies has just published its latest issue at http://52.205.22.215/index.php/informatics. The current crisis around the Corona virus revealed the importance of Open Access and Open Science - unfettered access to scientific and scholarly information, for scientists, researchers, academicians, journalists and the public alike - for effectively dealing with such calamities. It is the efforts of Sander Dekker during the last decade to implement Open Access by legislation and involvement of European Union; that made it easy for the scientific community to place their research results on Covid-19 under Open Access to arrest the spread of the pandemic. Considering the importance of the contributions of Dekker in the efforts of humanity to sustain life on this planet; the present issue of Informatics Studies is devoted for collecting together historical documents reflecting his work, with two reviews of his career and contributions. We invite you to visit our web site, review the Table of Contents, and then to review articles and items of interest. Thanks for the continuing interest in our work, Dr. Raman Nair R Centre for Informatics Research and Development.

Fire damages historic South African library <https://nature.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c6057c528fdc6f73fa196d9d…> Forest fires raging in South Africa’s Table Mountain National Park have reached the University of Cape Town and gutted the reading room of its main library <https://nature.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c6057c528fdc6f73fa196d9d…>, which houses irreplaceable documents and records from the country’s past. “We lose that texture of everyday life and struggles with a catastrophe like this,” says historian Sarah Emily Duff. The university’s botany building was also seriously damaged. Researchers have put out a call for anyone with photos or scans <https://nature.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c6057c528fdc6f73fa196d9d…> of the library’s collections to come forward to help recover some of the lost records. The “damage is total” says Timm Hoffman, a historical ecologist.

Perception survey on Sci-Hub
by Lambodara Parabhoi 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Dear Sir/Madam, The recent court case against sci-hub and Libgen by Elsevier, Wiley, and ACS (American Chemical Society) in India has triggered much academic discussion on the academic freedom and ethics on accessing scholarly resources. The Sci-Hub is a service that allows researchers to access all the scholarly papers which are behind a paywall. Alexandra Elbakyan, a young computer programmer from Kazakhstan, founded Sci-Hub to fill the gap in accessibility for quality journal articles. From its genesis, the sci-hub faces many challenges from the major publishers as the site makes a free database of all the articles which are behind a paywall that costs a lot to the publisher who generates this content. There are already court cases in the USA and many other countries. Coming to India, many Indian researchers who don't have access to scholarly content are quite dependent on the sci-hub for their research needs, the 2017 usage data of sci-hub shows, 8.7% of the request came from India which is 13 million downloads of research papers. On one side there is an ethics issue and on another side, there is an increase in the price of scholarly resources which is hindering the people who don't have access but want to contribute to scholarly research. The researcher and scholar are divided on the sci-hub issues, where those who believe that knowledge should be free to all and those affirm that there is a price for everything including knowledge. In view of this, the present survey is being conducted to know the perception of the teaching faculty/ researchers/ librarian/ scientists towards Sci-Hub vis-a-vis commodification of scholarly communications. The survey will take *five minutes to complete.* The information provided by you in the survey will be used for academic purposes only and kept confidential. Link of the survey : https://iima.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bC5tdBtJZxgVTKK Thank you in advance for your honest feedback. Warm regards Raj Kishor Kampa, PhD Mallikarjun Dora Lambodara Parabhoi Thanks & regards Lambodara Parabhoi UGC NET, MLISC Professional Assistant Indian Institute of Advanced Study Rashtrapati Nivas, Shimla-171005 Himachal Pradesh Ext-226 Rsearchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Lambodara_Parabhoi Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.co.in/citations?user=EvqTx88AAAAJ&hl=en ORCID:orcid.org/0000-0003-0615-8899 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
