Need for promoting use of Open Access journals
by Mailing List Manager 19 Jun '03

19 Jun '03

Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2003 14:39:10 +0530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <arun(a)mssrf.res.in> Here is a Press release that talks about the advantages of wholesale embracing of the Open Access journals. Regards. Arun 17 June 2003 UK research, accessible for free, for everyone UK leads world in publishing revolution to provide open access to scientific research More than 80,000 biology and medical researchers working at UK universities can now share their research findings freely with fellow researchers, funding bodies, students, journalists, and the general public worldwide. Making the results of science and medical research openly available will aid the global advancement of science and healthcare. Publishing in freely accessible online journals will also make the UK higher education system more cost-effective, by reducing the amount of money spent on journal subscriptions. The landmark deal announced today by The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), a joint committee of HEFCE and other UK further and higher education funding bodies, and open access publisher BioMed Central places the UK at the forefront of the drive to make scientific research freely available on the Internet. The BioMed Central membership agreement commences on the 1 July. From this date article-processing charges will be waived - for all UK higher education staff - when publishing in any of BioMed Central's 90+ peer-reviewed journals in which all research content is freely accessible. Dr Alicia Wise, Head of Development at JISC, explains the commitment by JISC to fund open access publishing for the entire UK Higher Education community: "This ground-breaking deal represents a major shift in the way that research is undertaken and its outputs published and shared. The implications for research and for our educational institutions beyond the health and medical field are immense." This is the first step of many that funding bodies are taking to ensure the success of open access. For the academic and clinical research communities working in UK Higher Education institutions, one of the biggest hurdles to publishing in open access journals - cost - has been removed. Funding bodies are now moving to acknowledge that authors who publish in open access journals are providing a service to the scientific community. The JISC deal means that 180 universities in the UK will now become BioMed Central members. Together with the recent NHS England membership agreement1, the vast majority of research produced in the UK could be published in open access journals at no cost to the individual author. Publisher Jan Velterop explains why this is so exciting for BioMed Central: "JISC's support is of huge significance. The UK is taking the fastest and the largest steps to become a completely open access environment for the sharing of biology and medical research results. Unrestricted access to the majority of UK biomedical research output is now a very real possibility. This represents our largest deal to date, and is a sure sign that the tide has turned to embrace open access." BioMed Central now has more members in the UK than in any other country. The UK is a major contributor to the global advance of knowledge. With just 1% of the world's population, Britain funds 4.5% of all scientific research, and produces 8.5% of the research articles that are published worldwide.2 BioMed Central and JISC look forward to seeing a fast-increasing proportion of these articles published with open access, for the benefit of science and society at large. ###

The brand-new site links to more than 350 journals with free, full-text articles. You can browse titles in 15 categories, from agriculture to sociology. Scientific journals include Stem Cells, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, and Conservation Ecology. If none of the offerings catch your fancy, check back soon. The directory's curators plan to add new titles and a search feature that will allow visitors to find articles in any of the listed journals. www.doaj.org Dr. S.

Albert Einstein papers

17 Jun '03

Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2003 10:09:31 +0530 From: Krishnan <krish(a)ems.ncl.res.in> EXHIBIT: The Man Who Bent Space The formula E = mc2 ushered in the nuclear age by revealing that matter and energy are equivalent. You can see the famed equation written in Einstein's own hand at the newly launched Einstein Archives Online. Browse digitized images of more than 900 manuscripts, unpublished articles, lecture notebooks, and travel diaries. Einstein's scribbled corrections appear on many of the documents, including in 1916 his first methodical explanation of the general theory of relativity, which describes how matter distorts space and time. In addition, the archive provides 39 papers in the original German with historical and scientific annotations--22 of the papers also have English translations. Along with scientific treatises in which Einstein attempts to bring together all known physical forces under a unified field theory, you can also find his papers on international unity and pacifism. Partly because of as-yet-unresolved copyright issues, the cooperative effort between the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the California Institute of Technology did not include any of Einstein's thousands of personal letters, but his correspondence with Freud, Stalin, and Gandhi might appear online in the future. alberteinstein.info Dr. S.

Re: [LIS-Forum] 5th CPC recommendation Scale of Pay
by Mailing List Manager 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2003 11:19:20 +0530 From: goudar(a)css.nal.res.in Fellow Professionals, The CPC order says that Pay Scales for Departmrntal Librarians has been increased to 5500 - 9000. It does not clearly say that this is applicable to those already in service. Infact it should have been like that. It also is silent about it application for autonomous bodies fully or partially funded by Centarl Goverment. In CSIR we have a peculiar situation. We have various posts classified from Gr I to Gr IV. Highest is Gr IV usually meant for Scientists. Luckily MLIS has been recognised as an entry level qualification for Gr IV. As on today there could be only 4-5 LIS professionals in Gr IV working in library and information cetres of entire CSIR set up covering about 40 Labs. Most of the LIS advts concerned to LIS are placed in Gr III, with an entry level post JTA and required qualification I Class BLIS or MLIS with 55 %. Gr IV staff can enter at level with a scale of 8000-13500 or higher level lateral entry and can go up to Scientists F (Gr IV(6), 18400 -22400). For Gr III staff entry level is JTA (4500 - 7000) and can go upto Gr III(7) with the Scale of 14300 - 18300. Entry level qualification for GR II (3050 - 4590) is SSLC and they can go upto Gr II(5) (6500 -10500). Unfortunately there are number of LIS colleagues still working in Gr II even though they have MLIS, which is an entry level qualification for Gr IV if one has Ist Class or for Gr III if one has 55%. Even if we advertise the posts at higher level, the age problem crops up and we can't even call them for interview, unless the post is reserved and we dont get suitable candidates. This matter has been discussed and representations have been given, but there seem to be no solution in the near furture. Professionals in other Organisations may have similar problems. We need to discuss this issue at various forums including LISFORUMs, ILA, IASLIC, etc. The Professional bodies should write to various organisations, departments and concerned ministries atleast to implement the CPC Recommendations for all including those in service, but working at lower Scales.
