Green OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 23 Nov '22

Friends, Here is something relevant to anyone interested in adopting and promoting Green open access. From Stevan Harnad, the arch-evangelist of OA, who, a few years ago, decided to move away from OA advocacy to caring for sentient beings. https://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2007/06/12/stevan-harnad-on-open-access/. Best wishes.

Yet the use of scientific journals to report, share and store results is a thread that runs through the history of science from Newton’s day to ours. Scientific journals are now central to academic research and careers. Their editorial and peer- review processes act as a check on new claims and findings, and researchers build their careers on the list of journal articles they have published. The journal that reported Newton’s optical experiments still exists. First published in 1665, and now fully digital, the Philosophical Transactions has carried papers by Charles Darwin, Dorothy Hodgkin and Stephen Hawking. It is now one of eleven journals published by the Royal Society of London. Unrivalled insights from the Royal Society’s comprehensive archives have enabled the authors to investigate more than 350 years of scientific journal publishing. The editorial management, business practices and financial difficulties of the Philosophical Transactions and its sibling Proceedings reveal the meaning and purpose of journals in a changing scientific community. At a time when we are surrounded by calls to reform the academic publishing system, it has never been more urgent that we understand its history. Free download: https://bit.ly/3Rws1Ne

Important communication about LIS-Forum Postings, replies and Approvals.
by Francis Jayakanth 20 Nov '22

20 Nov '22

Dear Members, Greetings of the day! Please note some significant changes in the LIS-Forum operations. Since the inception of the LIS-Forum service in 1994, the LIS-Forum server has been on the IISc domain (iisc.ernet.in) and has been using the IISc email relay host for email communication. Thanks to the support extended by IISc and your active participation in the service, by and large, the service has been successfully sustained for nearly 28 (twenty-eight) years now, of course, with some minor hiccups once in a while. In the past, for various technical reasons, occasionally, the domain ernet.in has been blacklisted by DNS Blacklists. So, when a domain is on a blacklist, emails originating from such a domain are discarded by the ISPs. It is valid for of LIS-Forum emails as well. Consequently, approved LIS-Forum emails would not reach the subscriber's email inbox. In the past, whenever the domain ernet.in was blacklisted, the IISc network support team would help to overcome the issue. However, during the last couple of years, the frequency of blacklisting increased to the extent that the network support team can no longer resolve the issue. The blacklisting of IPs or domains happens for several reasons. In the case of LIS-Forum, it may be happening because of a large number of emails generated by LIS-Forum for every approved message and a burst of emails sent to specific domains like gmail.com or yahoo.com in very short intervals. Currently, there are close to 6,000 (six thousand) LIS-Forum subscriptions. Given the general technical issues in the operation of LIS-Forum, some changes are being tried. The changes will have some bearing on LIS-Forum operations. 1. LIS-Forum is no longer using the IISc email relay host. It is instead using Microsoft 365 email relay host on the ncsinet.in domain. 2. All approved LIS-Forum messages will be from a user <noreplay(a)ncsinet.in> or one of its variants like noreply1(a)ncsinet.in> 3. On Microsoft 365 email relay host, there is a per day (24 hours) limit of 10,000 (ten thousand) emails. The specific email originating user (noreply(a)ncsinet.in) will be automatically blocked/deactivated if that limit is exceeded. It will take at least 24 hours to reactivate a blocked account. 4. LIS-Forum messages will be approved just once a day at around 10 a.m. on all working days. Messages received after 10 a.m. will be approved only the following day after 10 a.m. 5. Post messages only in plain text format. Postings with attachments will be automatically discarded without notification. 6. Members are encouraged to change their subscription to Digest mode. This will reduce the sent email count. As far as LIS-Forum subscribers are concerned, you don't need to make any changes. One can continue to post messages to the same email id lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. However, while replying to a message, one needs to change the default 'To' address to lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. Thanking you, with best regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth LIS-Forum Administrator and Moderator JRD Tata Memorial Library IISC, Bengaluru -560012 francis(a)iisc.ac.in -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

From Peter Suber Elsevier absent from journal cost comparison | Times Higher Education (THE) <https://harvard.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4f3527d69da76653d98a27177…>"Of the 2,070 titles whose information will become accessible under the JCS, although not directly to researchers, 1,000 belong to the US academic publishing giant Wiley, while another 219 journals owned by Hindawi, which was bought by Wiley last year, also appear on the list. Several other fully open access publishers will also participate on the comparison site including Plos, the Open Library of Humanities, and F1000, while learned society presses and university publishers, including the Royal Society, Rockefeller University Press, and the International Union of Crystallography, are also part of the scheme. Other notable participants include the prestigious life sciences publisher eLife, EMBO Press and the rapidly growing open access publisher, Frontiers. However, the two of the world’s largest scholarly publishers – Elsevier and Springer Nature, whose most prestigious titles charge about £8,000 for APCs – are not part of the scheme.... Under the Plan S agreement, scholarly journals are obliged to become ‘transformative journals’ and gradually increase the proportion of non-paywalled content over a number of years. Those titles that do not make their papers free at the point of publication will drop out of the Plan S scheme, meaning authors cannot use funds provided by any of the 17 funding agencies and six foundations now signed up to Plan S. There are, however, no immediate consequences for a publisher who decides not to share their price and service data through the JCS. ..... -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Suresh Balutagi 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Dear Professional Friends, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc and Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) invites you for an event on the celebration of National Library Week 2022. Date & Time: 18th November 2022 @ 4:00 pm Venue: Faculty Hall, Main Building, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru Keynote Address: Title: AR, VR, MR : How Does it Matter - A Human Factor Analysis of Metaverse Speaker: Prof. Pradipta Biswas, Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM), IISc Abstract: The Covid 19 pandemic and associated work-from-home culture reignites the importance of immersive media. Major industries used various terms like Metaverse (Facebook), Mesh (Microsoft), Nth Floor (Accesnture) and so on to invest and commercialize immersive media related products. Traditionally, immersive media is described through a continuum between reality and virtual reality along with intermediate systems known as Augmented and Mixed Reality systems. In the middle of the commercialization efforts and advertisements from software giants, end users are often confused about the best solution for their needs. There are not many studies on analysing end users’ feedback across the continuum of immersive media. This talk will present analysis on ocular parameters and EEG power bands of different brain regions while users undertook pointing and selection tasks using state-of-the-art AR, MR and VR media. In parallel, novel case studies will be presented from Aerospace, Smart Manufacturing and Assistive Technology involving XR technologies.

Open Books

10 Nov '22

Friends and Fellow Information professionals, Please watch https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/direct-to-open. MIT Press Direct to Open books were downloaded 176,300 times in 10 months. A few months ago, I alerted the members of this list to OpenStax <https://openstax.org/>, an educational technology nonprofit run out of Rice University, US and to the latest (10th) edition of the best selling chemistry textbook *Organic chemistry* by John McMurry being released as open access. Last year, Prof. Samiran Nundy, the renowned Gastro surgeon and Dean of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi made the book *How to Practice Academic Medicine and Publish from Developing Countries? - A practical guide* by Samiran Nundy <https://www.google.co.in/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Samiran+Nundy%2…> , Atul Kakar <https://www.google.co.in/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Atul+Kakar%22&s…> , Zulfiqar A. Bhutta <https://www.google.co.in/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Zulfiqar+A.+Bhu…> openly accessible to users in South Asia. Why can't higher educational institutions in India embark on publishing open access books? Librarians and information scientists may try to convince their vice chancellors/directors/deans to think about it. You may also take it up with the UGC and the Ministries of Higher Education and Science and Technology. There are many in India who can write excellent textbooks for all levels With warm regards, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Invitation : National Library Week 2022 celebration on Friday, November 18, 2022 at Faculty Hall, Main Building, IISc
by Suresh Balutagi 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Dear Professional Friends, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc and Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) invites you for an event on the celebration of National Library Week 2022. Date & Time: 18th November 2022 @ 4:00 pm Venue: Faculty Hall, Main Building, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru Keynote Address: Title: AR, VR, MR : How Does it Matter - A Human Factor Analysis of Metaverse Speaker: Prof. Pradipta Biswas, Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM), IISc Abstract: The Covid 19 pandemic and associated work-from-home culture reignites the importance of immersive media. Major industries used various terms like Metaverse (Facebook), Mesh (Microsoft), Nth Floor (Accesnture) and so on to invest and commercialize immersive media related products. Traditionally, immersive media is described through a continuum between reality and virtual reality along with intermediate systems known as Augmented and Mixed Reality systems. In the middle of the commercialization efforts and advertisements from software giants, end users are often confused about the best solution for their needs. There are not many studies on analysing end users’ feedback across the continuum of immersive media. This talk will present analysis on ocular parameters and EEG power bands of different brain regions while users undertook pointing and selection tasks using state-of-the-art AR, MR and VR media. In parallel, novel case studies will be presented from Aerospace, Smart Manufacturing and Assistive Technology involving XR technologies.

Share of OA in peer
by Subbiah Arunachalam 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

Dutch universities take another big step towards 100% Open Access 25 October 2022 Dutch universities published 82% of their peer-reviewed scientific publications Open Access in 2021. This is an increase of nine percentage points compared to 2020. For UU, the percentage is 80.7%. According to InCites (from Clarivate) less than 29% of papers published from India in the three years 2019-2021 are OA. We have a long way to go. If we want to move towards 100% OA, then our researchers should place their preprints in one of the tens of global preprint servers. For a list, please see https://doapr.coar-repositories.org/. Or they can place their postprints (immediately on acceptance by a journal) in an interoperable institutional repository (e.g. the one at ICRISAT, Hyderabad; and Eprints@CMFRI).

Copyright to research papers should vest with authors
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Friends and Members of the LIS Forum, In an interview given to *SciDevNet* in 2009, Prof. Padmanabhan Balaram said, "I argue that we should be permitted to put in the repository the full text article as it appears in a journal. For this, countries such as India should have a law specifying that the copyright for articles published with publicly-funded research always vests with the authors and their institutions. [See https://www.scidev.net/global/features/q-a-open-archives-the-alternative-to… ]. Prof. Peter Suber of Harvard University has argued that journals DO NOT NEED exclusive rights to publish papers. Please see https://journals.publishing.umich.edu/jep/article/id/1869/?s=03. Here is Suber's Abstract: "Journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights. Or, they don’t need them for publishing. They don’t need them to make a work public or to add value in the form of peer review, copy editing, metadata, formatting, discoverability, or preservation. Nor do they need them to make enough money to pay their bills and grow. Publishers only need exclusive rights for monopoly control over the published work and any revenue it might yield. Publishers who say they need exclusive rights are saying they need this monopoly control. The best evidence that journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights is that so many peer-reviewed journals do without them, for example, open access journals using CC-BY." Thirteen years have passed since Prof. Balaram wrote about the need for retention of rights. Have the Current Science Association, IASc, INSA, NASI and government agencies such as DST, DBT, CSIR, ICAR, IICMR, DAE and UGC written to the Government of India about this issue? Probably not. I suggest that librarians of all Higer Educational Institutions (HEIs) and other research performing institutions (RPIs) in the country write to the Members of the Lok Sabha from their constituencies requestig them to enact such a law. You may also talk to your Vice Chancellors/ Directors to adopt a Rights Retention policy at your institution. Regards. Arun

Discourage paying APC to publishers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Friends and fellow information scientists, This will be of interest: https://www.aaas.org/sites/default/files/2022-10/OpenAccessSurveyReport_Oct… . Please impress upon researchers in your institutions that 1. If research is supported by public funding, then using taxpayers' money to pay APC is immoral and unethical. [Please remember that in publicly funded research APC is almost always paid out of taxpayers' money given to the researcher for the purpose of doing research and not to be given away to publishers] 2. They could gain instant visibility to their work, as soon as it is ready for publication, by placing it in a preprint server virtually at no cost. For a list of OA repositories, please see https://doapr.coar-repositories.org/repositories/. You may also propose the adoption of a Rights Retention Policy by your institution. That would mean no more copyright transfer to the journal publisher. The publisher will only have the exclusive right to publish the paper first.

Institutional Repositories
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Friends, There is much talk about open access in India but if we talk about action we have a long way to go. I would even say OA in India is a story of missed opportunities. More than 20 years ago, thanks to the efforts of Dr T B Rajashekar and Dr Francis Jayakanth, NCSI at IISc set up the first institutional repository for research papers based on EPrints. That repository is not only the first in India but one of the earliest in the world. But we lost the lead. Incidentally, EPrints was the first software for repositories and it was developed by a group of researchers at the University of Southampton's Department of Electronics and Computer Science, where Prof. Stevan Harnad, the archevangelist of open access, was on the faculty. Here is a fabulous talk (52 min) on institutional repositories by an expert in scholarly communication and one of the pioneers of the OA movement, Dr Alma Swan, who was also associated for some years with the Univ. of Southampton: https://hstalks.com/t/2293/institutional-repositories/. Although delivered more than 10 years ago, what she spoke is applicable to us today. Dr Alma Swan has played an important role in promoting OA in India and the developing world. She spoke at a special session on OA at the 63rd Indian Science Congress at Hyderabad in 2006. She convinced Dr David Hoisington, Deputy Director of ICRISAT (who had not yet made up his mind when Dr Balaji, the head of Knowledge Resources at ICRISAT had put together all that was needed) that it would be good to have an IR, and that led the entire IGCAR system to adopt IRs. She also came to India in 2006 for a three-day international workshop hosted jointly by IASc, IISc and MSSRF and spoke to delegates from India, China, Brazil, South Africa and a few other countries from the Global South, and helped draft an OA policy for developing countries, that came to be known as the Bangalore declaration.
