Making textbooks affordable
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 Aug '14

24 Aug '14

Friends: It is just not publishers of S&T journals and bibliographic databases who swindle the academic and research community with exorbitant prices. Those who publish college textbooks are not angels either. I am pointing to two articles (among the many that have appeared in the past two years). 1. < http://www.aei-ideas.org/2012/12/the-college-textbook-bubble-and-how-the-op… > 2. < https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/08/22/george-washington-u-clarifie… > The fault, I believe, is with us - the academics, researchers, and librarians. We have allowed such loot for years. In an era of open educational resources, open course ware and MOOCs, we can no longer allow such a racket to continue. In the US, a number of universities are acting. When will we in India wake up? Best.

Need for openness in science, as seen by a young neuroscientist
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 Aug '14

24 Aug '14

Friends: Here is a short article that appeared in The Guardian, UK, website two days ago. It is a must read for scientists, both young and experienced, and academic and research librarians. Regards. Arun http://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/blog/2014/aug/22/univer… University research: if you believe in openness, stand up for it Publishing openly provides greater exposure, boosts prospects and can lead to more citations, says *Erin McKiernan * • Open access: six myths to put to rest <http://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/blog/2013/oct/21/open-a…> [image: Heavy chain with a padlock around a laptop]Instead of encouraging students to share information, we expect them to lock it up. Photograph: LJSphotography / Alamy/Alamy We spend years teaching our children to share. Yet from the moment students enter academia, we discourage it. Lock up your work in prestigious subscription journals; keep your data close to your chest; compete instead of collaborate – these are the messages transmitted by peers and mentors. These are the tenets of our unhealthy academic culture. We need to change our priorities. Every day we make amazing discoveries, some of which could even save lives. Then we lock that information in journals that most of the population cannot read. In many parts of the world, access to subscription journals is just too expensive. The amount some US or UK universities pay a single publisher <http://gowers.wordpress.com/2014/04/24/elsevier-journals-some-facts/>in a year equals a large percentage of the annual budget of research institutions in less developed countries (over 10% for some Latin American institutions). The cost of an electronic subscription to a single high-profile journal can be as much as the annual salary of a researcher. Institutions in these countries often have to choose between conducting educational and research programmes, paying instructors and researchers, or paying publishers. Effectively, that means forgoing access. *Paywalls stifle innovation* A lack of access to information hinders learning, stifles innovation and slows scientific progress. I have watched colleagues researching public health issues struggle to obtain articles on the most recent developments in their field. I have seen the frustration of students who are motivated to learn about a new subject but hit paywall after paywall. I hit those paywalls myself every day. I am able to eventually get past some, tracking down author versions or receiving articles from people I reach out to through email and social media. But there are some articles I cannot gain access to, and am left to wonder if there is information crucial to my research that I am missing. Reforming the current system will require action at multiple levels: government and funder initiatives; institutional open access mandates; and, perhaps most importantly, strong commitments to openness from individual researchers. I am an early career researcher, and have pledged to make all of my work openly available, forgoing publication in closed access journals like Nature and Science. I have been told by peers and mentors that this is career suicide <http://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/blog/2014/jan/29/boycot…>. But I do not believe it has to be. There are so many ways to be open and be successful in academia. There is even evidence that being open can help your career. Publishing openly, whether via open access journals or self-archiving, can lead to more citations <http://www.istl.org/10-winter/article2.html> and more visibility for your work. This is especially important for early career researchers as they try to make a name for themselves. Published studies that make data openly available <https://peerj.com/articles/175/>also tend to receive more citations. If Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is a concern – this flawed measure <http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fnhum.2013.00291/abstract> is unfortunately still used by many institutions in hiring, tenure, and promotion evaluations – there are many open access journals with moderate-to-high JIFs, including several BioMed Central <http://www.biomedcentral.com/> and Public Library Of Science <http://www.plos.org/>journals. It is encouraging that over 400 institutions and over 10,000 individuals have now signed the San Francisco declaration on research assessment <http://am.ascb.org/dora/>, pledging not to consider JIF and to weigh the scientific content of a paper more heavily than where it is published. Some institutions now explicitly value open access publications <http://www.facultysenate.vcu.edu/2010/11/17/vcu-faculty-senate-resolution-1/> in hiring, tenure, and promotion evaluations. *Peer review is transparent* Many researchers worry about the quality of peer review in open access journals. However, no controlled study has been done comparing peer review in open access versus subscription journals. A 2013 sting <http://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/2013/oct/04/open-access…> conducted by Science magazine’s John Bohannon showed that some open access journals readily accepted a spoof paper. But other reputable open access publishers, such as Frontiers <http://www.frontiersin.org/>, Hindawi <http://www.hindawi.com/> and PLoS, rejected the paper. It was recently found that subscription journals from Springer and IEEE published over one hundred spoof papers <http://www.nature.com/news/publishers-withdraw-more-than-120-gibberish-pape…>, showing that flaws in peer review are not exclusive to open access journals. In their favour, peer review in open access journals is often transparent <http://blog.peerj.com/post/43139131280/the-reception-to-peerjs-open-peer-re…>– the history is published alongside the article, so those wanting to check its rigour can read every criticism and every change. Of course, openness is not limited to publishing in open access journals. If researchers feel it necessary to publish in certain subscription journals, there is always the option to use the green open access model and self-archive an author copy in an open repository. In this context, it is important that authors know their rights and do not sign them away to publishers. Attaching an author addendum <http://www.sparc.arl.org/resources/authors/addendum> to your publishing agreement is a great way to publish where you want while still retaining the right to openly distribute your work. In short, there does not have to be a conflict between being open and being successful. You have many options, and the benefits to your career can be significant. Publishing openly means that you get more exposure for your work, the public has access to your research, taxpayers get more value for money and there is greater opportunity for your research to influence policy. At any stage of your career, you have the right to stand up for what you believe in. If you believe in openness, stand up for it. Access to information is a human right, but it is often treated as a privilege. This has to change. And it will take all of us to make it happen. *Erin McKiernan is a researcher in experimental and computational neuroscience, and an advocate for open access, open data and open science.

ORCID - India should adopt it
by Subbiah Arunachalam 23 Aug '14

23 Aug '14

Friends: Please see: < http://blog.impactstory.org/ten-things-you-need-to-know-about-orcid-right-n… >. ORCID is adopted by major journal publishers, funders, and many academic and research institutions. The uptake is growing pretty fast. I wonder how many researchers in India have an ORCID identity. But I believe it will be good if all of our researchers can have their ORCID. While many of us are discussing the need for adopting Green OA as a policy for Indian research, it would add value to the policy if we could persuade our researchers to embrace ORCID. Regards.

Free access to scholarly journals in public libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

In a welcome initiative called Access to Research, public libraries in the UK (in 80 % of the local authorities) started providing free access to scholarly journals to whoever visits the libraries. The service has been well used, says a report after assessing the use made in the first six months. Please see: < http://www.researchinformation.info/news/news_story.php?news_id=1657>. Indian public libraries should negotiate with journal publishers and bring such a service to the Indian public. Those who doubted the need to make journals accessible to anyone other than researchers will be surprised by the British experience.

2014 Open access survey: Taylor & Francis authors give their views
by Segon, Shafina 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

***APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING*** What are authors' attitudes to open access publishing in 2014? With open access continuing to have a high profile, is all the debate and discussion helping to inform researchers and influence their thinking? The results of the 2014 Taylor & Francis Open Access Survey have been released for the first time today at http://www.tandfonline.com/page/openaccess/opensurvey/2014 The survey asked researchers a series of questions on their perceptions of open access; their attitudes, values and understanding of it; and what they believe the future of research communication to be. Having previously surveyed their authors in 2013, the results offer some intriguing shifts in opinions, placing responses from both years next to each another to show how views have changed, and to what degree. Responses show that positivity towards open access, when discussed in general, is growing. There were significant increases in the proportions strongly agreeing that open access offered a wider circulation than publication in a subscription journal (from 38% to 49%), and that it offered higher visibility (27% to 35%). 70% of respondents also disagreed or strongly disagreed with the statement 'There are no fundamental benefits to open access publication', an increase of 10% year-on-year and a strong indicator that open access continues to be viewed as a force for good. Licences continue to be a contentious issue, with 53% of authors showing a first or second preference for the CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Despite strong advocates for CC-BY, it remained the 'least preferred' option in this survey. However, there is evidence that opinions on this are softening as understanding increases, with this proportion dropping from 52% in 2013 to 35% this year. The full survey results and top level report is now available on Taylor & Francis Online at http://www.tandfonline.com/page/openaccess/opensurvey/2014. Findings on open access mandates will be published soon. Tell us what you think via Twitter @TandFOpen and follow the conversation at #oasurvey2014.

Richard Poynder on funders underwriting APC
by Subbiah Arunachalam 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Why should funders and research institutions consider ceasing paying article processing charges for researchers? Please read Richard Poynder's editorial "Open access: What price affordability?" in *eCancer*, < http://ecancer.org/journal/editorial/41-open-access-what-price-affordabilit… >. Open access publishing (paying APC) will fail to solve the *affordability* problem. In embracing OA publishing, for instance, traditional publishers are pricing their APCs not to reflect their true costs, but at a level that will enable them to migrate their journals to an OA environment without suffering any loss of revenue. And OA publishers are increasing their prices in response. [Currently it costs around $3,000 per paper to publish in a subscription journal with an OA option (known as hybrid OA), and it can cost up to $2,885 per paper to publish in an OA journal.] The growing trend for governments, research funders and universities to create OA funds to encourage researchers to make their work freely available suggests that pay-to-publish gold OA (charged at publishers’ asking price) is set to become the norm. Developing countries should resist this trend and encourage their scientists to publish in any journal they want to but make their papers available to all through repositories (institutional or central).
