Richard Poynder (@RickyPo) posted at 3:39 pm on Sun, Sept 03, 2023: Concern at Cochrane: evidence giant battles funding cuts and closures. The group that helped to revolutionize medical practice has lost key funding and is reorganizing — moves that concern some researchers. https://t.co/GoD8AmpE8F https://t.co/gG91RfMFJe ( https://twitter.com/RickyPo/status/1698276984294367466?t=iuP43A5r5T_pkGCx1t… ). Will phianthropies such as the Azim Premji Foundation, the Tata Trusts, the Infosys Foundation, the Gates Foundation and the Andrew Mellon Foundation step in? Or should the research community resort to crowd funding? Regards. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Call For Papers Fourth International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2023) November 16-17, 2023 BITS Pilani Dubai Campus. UAE (www.socio.org.uk/stm) Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement and translating the measures to work better. The metric is not confined to drawing numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesising 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. Recently, new metrics-based models are emerging to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2023) conference concerns how many metrics may involve assessing 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 several workshops and tutorials related to the conference's theme. The workshops provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology Systems. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical and practical aspects and the application of metrics. The proposed conference comprises invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialised topics. The STMet address 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 Scientific Knowledge Diffusion Internationalization and Co-working in Science Research Data Access Science, Innovation and Economic Performance Public Research Systems Future S & T Policies Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data 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 Evaluation beyond Metrics All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers) and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can access the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers so they can improve the final version of their papers accordingly. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors from developing countries. Selected post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1. Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Research in Production and Development 3. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 4. Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics Important Dates Submission of papers September 25, 2023 Notification October 25, 2023 Camera-ready (post-conference version) January 05, 2024 (Final) Registration November 05, 2023 Post-conference version submission January 10, 2024 (Final) Conference Dates November 16-17, 2023 Program Committees Honorary Chair Srinivasan Madapusi, BITS Pilani, Dubai General Chair Grant Lewison, King’s College, UK Program Chairs Pit Pichappan, Digital Information Research Labs, India & UK Ramesh Kundra, NISTADS, India Valentina Markusova, All Russian Institute for S&T Information (VINITI), Russia Program Co-Chairs Amir Reza Asnafi, Shahid Beheshti University, Iran Kazuyuki, Motohashi, University of Tokyo, Japan Andrei Grinev, Saint-Petersburg State Polytechnic University, Russia Workshop and Special Session Chair Ulle Must, Estonian Research Council at Archimedes, Estonia Plenary Speakers Giovanni Abramo (President-International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics), Grant Lewison, Ulle Must, Jean-Charles Lamirel, Valentina Markusova, and others.

Reprint Request
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

A few decades ago requesting a copy of a scholarly article could be made to the author(s). The author would normally spare a copy from his quota of reprints or from his own file copy. This was a primary source in my days (I retired from active librarianship around 2000). In fact ISI used to sell specialised Reprint Request Post cards - They used to contain auto-carbon peel off parts. The address could be peeled and pasted on To: page of the postcard. The reprint (bibliographical) info per se could be peeled off and pasted in your file for reference etc Has this practice disappeared? Do authors not get reprints for personal distribution? Has the practice been banned by publishers ? Am I asking a "Rip Van Winkle" Question? Thanks if anyone could respond!

Fwd: MIT expands its D2O model
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Aug '23

19 Aug '23

Friends, Here is an interesting news story. The Direct to Open (or D2O) model of distributing books published by the MIT Press has entered the second year and many more titles will be added this year. https://publishingperspectives.com/2023/08/open-access-mit-press-to-expand-… Other publishers, especially university and society publishers, would do well to follow this model. This action of MIT (similar to the Subscription to Open or S2O model of Annual Reviews Inc. who expect to make all their 51 journals S2O by year end) is in line with Mahatma Gandhi's vision of Trusteeship :Those who can afford should take care of those who cannot. Best wishes, Arun

Re: [LIS-Forum] International symposium on "Digital Libraries: Sustainable Development in Education" at NDLI, IIT, Kharagpur
by Subbiah Arunachalam 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

Friends, I just saw Mr Hemanta Biswal's mail on the forthcoming international symposium on "Digital Libraries: Sustainable Development in Education," to be held at NDLI, IITKh. I am particularly happy to note the emphasis on ACCESSIBLE EDUCATION. India has taken many initiatives in the area of open and accessible education. The NPTEL programme of IITs (in partnership with IISc) is indeed something the nation can be proud of. [IITM and IISc are now offerng online courses open to all without the need to clear JEE]. SWAYAM is another commendable programme. A friend, a renowned physicist, told me the inspiring story about an autorickshaw driver with middle school education becoming a lecturer in a college after learning through open courses available through SWAYAM and completing his class XII, undergraduate and postgraduate studies (over several years). On the other hand, we also see many universities offering correspondence courses and turning out less than satisfactory graduates in large numbers. I am sure the forthcoming conference at IITKh would discuss the issue of quality control in online education. As we are talking about a G20 event, I would like to draw your attention to the work of Commonwealth of Learning, to which many Indians have made stellar contributions. While we are discussing a conference on 'digital libraries,' I wish to alert you to the general feeling that we host too many conferences, talks and webinars but do not match it with commensurate action. Let us take 'digital,' 'equitable,' 'inclusive' and 'open' access to knowledge. I have lost count of the number of events held in recent times in our country and the number of papers and theses written on this theme. What is the reality? According to COKI, only about 30% of India's research output is available as open access. My colleagues and longtime coauthors Muthu Madhan and Subbiah Gunasekaran tell me that India's share in preprint servers such as arXiv, bioRxiv and medRxiv is also much smaller than one would expect. A very large proportion of papers are published in expensive commercial journals, some after the authors/their institutions or funders have paid a huge article publishing charge. And most researchets in India have no access to these journals. Which means most Indian researchers cannot even read these papers, which in the first place came out of research supported by Indian taxpayers. It would be great if this conference comes up with concrete proposals to make knowledge produced in the G20 countries (and the rest of the world) 'born open' and available to all who want to access it. With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Academic Insitutions - No libraries?
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 06 Aug '23

06 Aug '23

I saw a full page advertisement from Naranarayan Shastri Institute of Technology offering undergraduate and PG courses in Forensic science, affiliated to the National Forensic Sciences University, Ahmadabad. This was in Times of Indi of 6th August 2023. While listing several facilities / amenities / advantages of the campus, the advertisement is silent about any library facility. I am shocked and pained, as a retired librarian. Can any academic institutions survive without decent libraries?

Fwd: News: MIT Press's Direct to Open (D2O) achieves second year goal, opens access to 82 new books in 2023
by Shamprasad Pujar 04 Aug '23

04 Aug '23

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jessica Pellien <pellien(a)mit.edu> Date: Fri, Aug 4, 2023 at 12:10 AM Subject: [IFLA-L] News: News: MIT Press's Direct to Open (D2O) achieves second year goal, opens access to 82 new books in 2023 To: ifla-l(a)iflalists.org <ifla-l(a)iflalists.org> *with apologies for crossposting* Hello – The MIT Press is delighted to share that we have successfully ended our second year of Direct to Open. We are grateful to the 322 libraries who have partnered with us this year and happy that the result is 82 new OPEN scholarly monographs and edited collections. The details are in the press release below and we hope you’ll join us in celebrating this milestone in developing a sustainable and scalable open access publishing model!! If you have questions about D2O or would like to learn more about how you can participate, please contact our library relations team <mitp-library-relations(a)mit.edu>. If you’re looking for MARC records for this collection or a prospectus, please visit the D2O site <https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/direct-to-open>. Best, Jess MIT Press's Direct to Open (D2O) achieves second year goal, opens access to eighty-two new books in 2023 With 322 participating libraries and new consortium agreements, the D2O publishing model has now opened access to more than 160 scholarly monographs and edited collections. August 3, 2023 (Cambridge, MA)—Thanks to the support of libraries participating in Direct to Open <https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/direct-to-open> (D2O), the MIT Press will publish its full list (see below) of 2023 scholarly monographs and edited collections open access on the MIT Press Direct platform. Launched in 2021, D2O is a sustainable framework that harnesses the collective power of libraries to support open and equitable access to vital, leading scholarship. D2O moves scholarly books from a solely market-based, purchase model, where individuals and libraries buy single eBooks, to a collaborative, library-supported open access model. Instead of purchasing a title once for a single collection, libraries now have the opportunity to fund them one time for the world through participant fees. “With the successful conclusion of our second year of Direct to Open, we are thrilled to make the Press’s complete list of 2023 monographs openly available,” said Amy Brand, director and publisher of the MIT Press. “This achievement comes at a pivotal time for open science, research, and publishing and would not be possible without the partnership and collaboration of D2O member libraries and consortia. Together, we are proving open access scholarship is not only achievable, but sustainable and scalable.” In its second year, 322 libraries, an increase of 33% from the first year, from around the globe committed to support D2O. Expanding D2O’s international footprint, the Press also entered into all-in agreements with Big Ten Academic Alliance and the Konsortium der sächsischen Hochschulbibliotheken, as well as central licensing and invoicing agreements with Council of Australian University Librarians, Center for Research Libraries; Greater Western Library Alliance, MOBIUS, Northeast Research Libraries, Jisc, Partnership for Academic Library Collaboration and Innovation, SCELC, and Lyrasis. “When we launched Direct to Open two years ago, we passionately believed that taking action to foster a more equitable, sustainable, and open scholarly communication ecosystem was vital and urgent,” said Amy Harris, senior manager, library relations and sales at the MIT Press. “Success was not guaranteed and has required dedicated, hard work to achieve this year; but we have been truly humbled by the support of all of the participating libraries and our consortia partners.” In the coming year, the Press will seek to expand library participation in the model. Supporting libraries not only contribute to opening frontlist titles, but also receive exclusive participation benefits including term access to a backlist collection of over 2,400 titles. To learn more about Direct to Open, or to sign-up to become a participating library, visit direct.mit.edu/books/pages/direct-to-open or contact the MIT Press library partnerships and sales team <mitp-library-relations(a)mit.edu>. *List of MIT Press 2023 monographs and edited collections included in the Direct to Open model:* - *¡Alerta!: Engineering on Shaky Ground* <https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5562/Alerta-Engineering-on-Shaky-…> by Elizabeth Reddy - *Academic Star Wars: Excellence Initiatives in Global Perspective* <https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262546850/academic-star-wars/> edited by Maria Yudkevich, Philip G.

Science & Technology Metrics 2023 @ Dubai. Virtual and Physical
by stm socio.org.uk 31 Jul '23

31 Jul '23

Call For Papers Fourth International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2023) November 13-14, 2023 BITS Pilani Dubai Campus. UAE (www.socio.org.uk/stm) Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement and translating the measures to work better. The metric is not confined to drawing numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesising 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. Recently, new metrics-based models are emerging to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2023) conference concerns how many metrics may involve assessing 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 several workshops and tutorials related to the conference's theme. The workshops provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology Systems. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical and practical aspects and the application of metrics. The proposed conference comprises invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialised topics. The STMet address 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 Scientific Knowledge Diffusion Internationalization and Co-working in Science Research Data Access Science, Innovation and Economic Performance Public Research Systems Future S & T Policies Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data 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 Evaluation beyond Metrics All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can access the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can improve the final version of their papers accordingly. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors from developing countries. Selected post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1. Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Research in Production and Development 3. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 4. Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics Important Dates Submission of papers September 25, 2023 Notification October 25, 2023 Camera-ready (post-conference version) January 05, 2024 (Final) Registration November 05, 2023 Post-conference version submission January 10, 2024 (Final) Conference Dates November 13-14, 2023 Program Committees Honorary Chair Srinivasan Madapusi, BITS Pilani, Dubai General Chair Grant Lewison, King’s College, UK Program Chairs Pit Pichappan, Digital Information Research Labs, India & UK Ramesh Kundra, NISTADS, India Valentina Markusova, All Russian Institute for S&T Information (VINITI), Russia Program Co-Chairs Amir Reza Asnafi, Shahid Beheshti University, Iran Kazuyuki, Motohashi, University of Tokyo, Japan Andrei Grinev, Saint-Petersburg State Polytechnic University, Russia Workshop and Special Session Chair Ulle Must, Estonian Research Council at Archimedes, Estonia Plenary Speakers Giovanni Abramo (President-International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics), Grant Lewison, Ulle Must, Jean-Charles Lamirel, Valentina Markusova, and others.

On papermills
by Subbiah Arunachalam 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Friends, As academic and research librarians, most members of this list would have a stake in keeping the scholarly communication system healthy and robust. Unfortunately, no system can be perfect. But scholarly communication seems to be increasingly affected in recent times by misconduct and unethical behaviour. Here is an article on papermills that would be of interest. https://www.the-geyser.com/interview-adam-day-clear-skies/?ref=the-geyser-n… .

Friends, Open access and open science still have a long way to be fully accepted and practised in India, although we have been talking about OA and writing papers on the subject for many years. In a long conversation I had with Mr Richard Poynder in 2014 (see 'Open Access in India: Q&A with Subbiah Arunachalam,' dated June 09, 2014), I said "Citizens in India should form a Taxpayers Alliance for Open Access, and university students should form a nationwide 'Students for Open Access' forum." These haven't happened so far. Maybe these tasks could be taken up now.
