Mandating OA is not bad after all
by Subbiah Arunachalam 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Friends: He who pays the piper can call the tune. The Wellcome Trust did exactly that. The Trust stipulated that those who receive grants for research must make the resulting research papers free to read online. i.e., open access. But the compliance rate was rather poor. Now the Trust has clamped down on open access. Funding for Those who do not comply would be withheld, they announced and then the compliance rate improved dramatically. See http://www.nature.com/news/uk-funder-explains-clamp-down-on-open-access-1.1… There are some eminent Indian scientists who are reluctant to mandate OA and say it would be interfering with the individual scientist's freedom. But the NIH in the US and the Welcome Trust in the UK and many universities in the West have mandated OA. Regards.

Increasing access to scholarly information
by Subbiah Arunachalam 12 Apr '14

Friends: Here is an interesting news story from the US on a collaborative effort to promote new *digital access to scholarly works for students, faculty and the broader public*. Something we in India should also be doing. Please visit http://news.vanderbilt.edu/2014/04/mellon-library-grant/ Unfortunately most public functionaries and apex institutions in India seem to be either indifferent to the very idea of open access or even unaware of its benefits. Both Latin America and China are way ahead of India. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

FUNDERS PUNISH OPEN-ACCESS DODGERS
by Ragaavendra R 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Dear Moderator pls circulate this. FUNDERS PUNISH OPEN-ACCESS DODGERS For years, two of the world's largest research funders - the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Wellcome Trust in the United Kingdom - have issued a steady stream of incentives to coax academics to abide by their open-access policies. Now they are done with just dangling carrots. Both institutions are bringing out the sticks: cautiously and discreetly cracking down on researchers who do not make their papers publicly available. Neither agency would name those who have been sanctioned. But the London-based Wellcome Trust says that it has withheld grant payments on 63 occasions in the past year because papers resulting from the funding were not open access. And the NIH, in Bethesda, Maryland, says that it has delayed some continuing grant awards since July 2013 because of non-compliance with open-access policies, although the agency does not know the exact numbers. FOR COMPLETE READ AND REFERENCE LINK:http://www.nature.com/news/funders-punish-open-access-dodgers-1.15007?… DISPATCHER NOTE: Is it possible to expect here similar kind of action from government funded researchers to make their results publicly available?.

With regards HR Mohan =================================================== Computer Society of India, Chennai Chapter IEEE Computer Society, Madras IEEE Professional Communication Society, Madras Announces One Day Workshop on Avoiding the Risks of Plagiarism in Research Publication On Saturday :: 3rd May 2014 :: 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m Registration at 09.30 a.m. At Seminar Hall, CSI Education Directorate, Taramani, Chennai - 600113 This is a part of "CSI at 50 - Celebrating Golden Jubilee" Programme Series. A research publication brings immense credit to the researcher(s), their research supervisor(s) and their institution(s). However, plagiarism that creeps in publications widely now in our context, often unintentionally, presents great risks to them and damage their credibility and reputation. Plagiarism - reusing someone else's work and making it appear as their own without proper citations - is an unacceptable and unethical practice in research and other forms of writing. It may also result in copyright infringement subjecting the author to legal action. Professional institutions such as IEEE blacklist the authors who plagiarise their publications endangering their career. Moreover, it is now easier to detect plagiarism, autonomously. Therefore, it is vital for students, authors and their institutions to take specific measures to avoid plagiarism. The rise of plagiarism in this digital era is primarily due to lack of awareness of what is considered as plagiarism, how it can get into a publication, the risks it presents and methods of avoiding it. This one-day workshop is intended to create the desired awareness among the stakeholder about plagiarism and outline measures to prevent it and, thereby, to help them safeguard from the plagiarism risks. About the Program ============== The workshop comprises of two major sessions. The morning session will present an overview on plagiarism, outlines major issues and risks in plagiarism, and suggest (institutional) measures combat this seemingly growing problem facing researchers, authors, educational institutions and conference organisers. The afternoon session will discuss in detail of how to avoid plagiarism in academic writing - journal and conference publications, thesis and others - while highlighting and acknowledging findings and contributions of other authors and researchers. It will also outline proper way of quoting and citing contents from other publications. The program will consist of invited presentations, discussions and Q&A sessions. Speakers / Resource Persons ====================== Prof. C. R. Muthukrishnan, Former Deputy Director, IIT Madras Prof. San Murugesan, Editor-in-Chief, IEEE IT Professional, Adjunct Prof. , Univ. of Western Sydney, Australia Prof. L.S. Ganesh, Dept. of Management Studies, IIT Madras Prof. S. Karmalkar, Dept. of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras Prof. Gopalaswamy Ramesh, Author and Consultant, Adjunct Prof. IIITB, Guest Faculty, IIT Madras Participants ========= This workshop is particularly intended for researchers, research degree students, research supervisors, academics, examiners, senior staff and executives of universities and colleges, and conference organisers. Participants will benefit from gaining awareness of plagiarism and how to avoid or control it. Thereby they can enhance the quality of their publications and their credibility and improve their and their institution's profile. The workshop also helps in improving our national standing in the international arena. Registration Fee ============ The fee includes service tax and covers course material, lunch, tea & certificate of participation.

Need help for IRB survey
by Sangeeta Narang 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

Dear Library Professionals, I under the guidance of my mentor, Charles Greenberg are conducting a survey on the involvement of librarian in protection of human research subjects. This survey is for an IFLA paper that I am writing with him. The excerpts from the abstract are: As the scope of human subject research expands beyond traditional biomedical frontiers, the ability to apply vigilance to educate, inform, and protect humans of all ages strains the capacity of many institutions to apply a thorough and rigorous standard at all times. The most widely recognized mechanism to assess human protections in a research proposal is an institutional review board (IRB), also known as an independent ethics committee (IEC) or ethical review board, which are often mandated for institutions in some countries. This paper is based on an environmental scan of current librarian involvement in protection of human research subjects as part of a proposed research paper for IFLA 2014. If you know a librarian who has contact, please pass this message to those that either serve an IRB or IEC or other form of bioethics review group that is charged with protecting human research subjects. Of course, you may be the best person to share your experience. Here is the link: http://ku.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_50gv8KswvRzb6Wp A short version of the same link: http://tinyurl.com/2104irblib We are aware of the important articles by librarians and physicians on this topic and will also have a literature review of those articles in our paper to accompany the survey results. Your feedback and comments are welcome With best regards Sangeeta Narang Librarian Grade-I, NDDTC All India Institute of Medical Sciences Ansari Nagar New Delhi-110029 E-mail : narang.sangeeta(a)yahoo.co.in sangeeta.bbdl(a)gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Plagiarism, Copyright, Publishers and Authors
by Anil Singh 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

Dear friends, Plagiarism is a burning topic in LIS community now-a-days. Many workshops, seminars have been organized on copyright laws and plagiarism. Everybody knows that plagiarism is unethical, but in-spite of that nothing has changed. Authors and Publishers both are still involved in this practice. On this forum, I would like to draw kind attention of all the readers on two instances of Plagiarism. My one paper "Design and Development of a Himalayan Studies Information System for India: A Proposed Model" was published in INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARIES, Vol. 24, No. 1 (2005). This journal is being published by Library and Information Technology Association (LITA),- a division of the American Library Association (ALA). The same full paper was published as one of the chapters of the book entitled "Forests of Himalaya" by Anuraj Diwedi in 2009. This book was published by CYBER TECH PUBLICATIONS, Darya Ganj, New Delhi. Author has not given citation of my paper. Like this publisher, many publishers in India have emerged in recent years which prepare the books by cut and paste technique. In such type of books there will be no affiliation of the author. These publishers give the author's bio-data like.... Mr. Anuraj Diwedi is a seasoned teacher over three decades........he has been honoured by various scientific organizations.....A prolific writer, he has many outstanding books....etc. The other example is of one of my paper "Career in Library and Information Science" which was published in the August 2008 issue of Employment News - which is one of the most widely circulated newspapers of India. From this article, much of the portion was copied by two faculty members and one senior LIS professionals and none of them cited this paper. Now the two important questions are: 1. Is it possible that these publishers, authors, LIS professionals or teachers are unaware of copyright laws and plagiarism? 2. What is the responsibility of ISBN awarding agency, who awarded ISBN without checking the author's affiliations. Plagiarism is rising day by day in education system. We have seen many prominent persons in the field of education who have been caught in this act. The 'copy/cut and paste' tendency has increased the plagiarism. Rather than organizing seminars, workshops or training on IT tools like Turnitin, we should focus on teaching value education and ethics to authors, publishers and teachers. Feedback and comments are welcome. -- with regards, Anil Singh Assistant Director (LS) Competition Commission of India (CCI) (Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India) 'B' Wing, HUDCO VISHALA, 14, Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi - 110066 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Open Access Library
by Sandeep Bhavsar 07 Apr '14

Respected All http://www.oalib.com/ Open Access Library (www.oalib.com) is an academic search engine and publisher. You can download research papers for free and submit your paper to it. It is a shared academic database. It is a handy tool which helps researchers performing their research and helps students with their studies. In the past researchers had to spend a lot of money on purchasing papers. Google Scholar changed this situation a little bit. However most of the papers listed in the search result are not free to access. Open Access Library (OALib) has been changing it. Papers published or indexed by OALib are made freely accessible by scholars all over the world. It helped a lot to the researchers in the developing countries or those who have not enough funding to pay for reading papers. OALib has indexed over 2,000,000 open access papers till now. You can easily find and download papers you need by its advanced searching engine. It also has a very easy flow to submit a paper and make it accessible widely. Thanks to Open Access, research and studies have become easier and more fun. http://www.oalib.com/ -- *Regards * *Sandeep Bhavsar* B.com, M.Lib.I.Sc SET, M.Phil, American Library Association - FERA 2011 fellow Librarian Dr. V N Bedekar Institute of Management Studies Thane (W) 400601 Mumbai INDIA Mobile : 9987049099 www.vpmthane.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Fw: DataCite, re3data.org, and Databib Announce Collaboration
by Dr Ramesh C Gaur, University Librarian, JNU 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

FYI. Regards Ramesh Gaur -------------------------------------------- Databib and “re3data.org – Registry of Research Data Repositories” are pleased to announce their plan to merge their two projects into one service that will be managed under the auspices of DataCite by the end of 2015. Their joint proposal to the DataCite General Assembly was approved today, in advance of the 3rd Plenary Meeting of the Research Data Alliance (RDA) in Dublin, Ireland. The aim of this merger is to reduce duplication of effort and to better serve the research community with a single, sustainable registry of research data repositories that incorporates the best features of both projects. re3data.org and Databib have agreed to the following five principles for successful cooperation: 1. Openness: the metadata and the interfaces of the joint registry will be openly accessible. Metadata records will be made accessible under terms of the Creative Commons CC0 protocol; 2. Optimal quality assurance: a two-stage workflow, with a first review of submissions by an international editorial board plus a second one for consistency, will guarantee the quality and currency of records; 3. Development of innovative functionalities: cooperative development of new functionality for the joint registry and further integration with a global ecosystem of infrastructures that meet the needs of data-driven research and open science; 4. Shared leadership: the joint registry will be lead by two representatives (one from each project) as equal partners; 5. Sustainability: both projects will work together on a sustainable governance structure and a permanent infrastructure for the joint registry. The joint registry will be operated under the name “re3data.org – Registry of Research Data Repositories” with its editorial board retaining the name of Databib. Both registries have posted a Memorandum of Understanding on their respective websites and have exchanged metadata records in advance of fully merging their platforms and processes. By the end of 2015, the merged registry will become an imprint of DataCite and be included in its suite of services. March 25, 2014 Dublin, Ireland; Karlsruhe, Germany; and West Lafayette, Indiana, USA More Information: Databib (http://databib.org) is a tool for helping researchers identify and locate online repositories of research data that has been online since April 2012. It was initially developed by Purdue University in collaboration with Penn State University and with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in the United States. Its international, multidisciplinary editorial board identifies, catalogs, and curates a searchable index of research data repositories. Since early 2012, “re3data.org – Registry of Research Data Repositories” (http://re3data.org) has been indexing research data repositories. Project partners in re3data.org are the Library and Information Services department (LIS) of the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, the Computer and Media Service at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the KIT Library at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). re3data.org is funded from 2012 to 2015 by the German Research Foundation DFG. DataCite (http://datacite.org) is a not-for-profit organization formed in London on December 1, 2009, with an aim to establish easier access to research data on the Internet, increase acceptance of research data as legitimate, citable contributions to the scholarly record, and support data archiving that will permit results to be verified and re-purposed for future study. To date, it has registered over 3 million datasets with Digital Object Identifiers (DOI). http://www.re3data.org/2014/03/datacite-re3data-org-databib-collaboration/ - Michael Witt, Purdue University Head, Distributed Data Curation Center (D2C2) Associate Professor of Library Science http://www.lib.purdue.edu/research/witt/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
