Science and Technology Metrics- STMet 2020
by Francis Jayakanth 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 12 June 2020 12:08 Second International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhuhai, China (near Hong Kong) December 07-09, 2020 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) If the COVID 19 impact fails to decrease, the conference will be organized ONLINE. Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement and translating the measures to work better. Metric is not confined to draw numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesizing 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. Quite recently, we are witnessing the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) conference is concerned with how the use of many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, the STMetrics will host a number of workshops and tutorials related to the theme of the conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology System. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical as well as practical aspects and application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized 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 Internationalization Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis 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 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 that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors of developing countries. The post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1.Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia 3. Special Section in Research Evaluation 4. Journal of Scientometric Research 5. Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science 6. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 7. Webology Important Dates Workshop/Track and Tutorial Proposals-March 01, 2020 Submission of papers-July 01, 2020 Notification-September 05, 2020 Registration-September 05, 2020 Camera-ready-September 10, 2020 Conference Dates-December 07-09, 2020 Contact: stm(a)socio.org.uk<mailto:stm@socio.org.uk>

Indexing of Scholarly Journals by Commercial Publishers
by Francis Jayakanth 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 15 June 2020 10:08 Dear ALL Some issues and thoughts At present, the two widely accepted interdisciplinary journal indexes are Web of Science and Scopus which are controlled by commercial publishers. Before a few years, there was a criticism that Web of Science indexed more Chinese and Korean journals because they have more subscriptions in China and Korea. All the Springer and Elsevier new journals are indexed early whereas small publishers need to fight for a longer period for the inclusion in these indexes. A society and university-based CORE ranking system has been introduced in Australia to index Computer Science journals. (http://www.core.edu.au/ They rank computer science journals and conferences very objectively. We need more ranking and journal evaluation systems by non-commercial agencies. The scientific research should be released from the clutches of commercial publishers. Who has given the mandate to the commercial publishers to rank science?

Vice Chancellor’s Conclave through Webinar on Post Covid Education Scenario
by Soji Mathew 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Informatics is pleased to announce an Online Vice Chancellor’s Conclave through Webinar on “Post Covid Education Scenario: Will libraries weather the storm or wilt away?“ Panelists: 1. Prof. T. D. Kemparaju, Vice Chancellor, Bangalore North University, Bangalore 2. Prof. Roshan Lal Raina, Vice Chancellor, JK Lakshmipat University, Jaipur 3. Prof. V. G. Talawar, Former Vice Chancellor, University of Mysore; Advisor, Reva University, Bangalore Anchor: Prof. Shalini Urs, Founder and Trustee, MYRA School of Business, Mysore; Former Professor and Head, Department of Library & Information Science, Mysore Date & Time: 12 June 2020; 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM. About the Topic: The unprecedented coronavirus pandemic has further heightened the VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) of our world since a couple of decades. The need for any system to be agile and adapt has never been more pronounced than now. All systems including education and libraries have been called not to be slavish to old practices and methods or even old paradigms and philosophies. While libraries’ role and relevance in the education process and academic life has always been considered central, in practice it has not necessarily been embedded as such. While educationists are debating and envisioning a new order for education, leaning more and more towards eLearning, it is time for the library world to re-imagine the ways and means of embedding the library processes and services into the emergent online educational systems and processes. Online search has been a standard way of scholarly literature search since the 1970s, long before eLearning and campus networking in universities and colleges. With the emergence of digital libraries in the 1990s, embedding them into emergent learning systems including MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and being an integral part of OER (Open Educational Resources) has become seamless. Yet, often the Library and Information Science (LIS) profession justifiably feels left out in its role as a key stakeholder in the overall education ecosystem. The role of new age libraries did not even merit a chapter in the New Education Policy, 2019. How did we get here? Did we, the LIS profession, fail to make our presence felt and role revitalized? Or is it due to disruptive technologies? Or is it because of blinkered policy makers and education systems? How do we reclaim our position? What strategic and tactical plan is the need of the hour? Quo Vadis?

Google CASA - enable library's remote access facility
by Satish Munnolli 29 May '20

29 May '20

Dear Colleagues, The remote access facility is one of THE services of any library in this COVID19 pandemic. However, all the libraries are not equipped with the online application tool to give seamless access to subscribed contents to their users at their remote locations. Google CASA - Campus Activated Subscriber Access (CASA) is a Google Scholar initiative to improve access to research off-campus. If you are connected to your campus network (directly or by VPN) and use Google Scholar, Google will remember your institutional affiliation on your device for a period of 30 days (this period varies) so you can continue to access your institution?s licensed content outside the network. While searching any literature on Google Scholar at this time, it automatically creates an affiliation (or a ?token?) between the end-user and the affiliated institution. From that point on, if the user visits Google Scholar from off-campus or outside of the library, their token is recognized as an affiliate user and the user will see links to subscribed journals and articles that the library subscribes to. In simple terms CASA is a solution that notes a user?s access on campus and handshakes to make that same access work off campus. The new service requires no configuration from users. Most of the leading publishers and aggregators (Springer Nature, Elsevier, Gale, EBSCO) have participated in this Google Scholar's Link Program. You may find this FREE SOLUTION interesting and useful at this difficult time.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 206, Issue 44
by Devendrappa T M 28 May '20

28 May '20

Dear Professionals. I too agree with Mr. Anand Dodamani TISS, Mumbai on his view that during this lockdown period Most of the faculties are busy in preparing the course materials, presentation to serve the students of their institute, as a part of the institute we the library professionals should also take part in serving the faculty and student fraternity by providing the required information to them. It is my opinion that for updating the professional's knowledge till time so many seminars, conferences have been conducted in the country but this is not the right time to conduct such online sessions. Professionals should really think in this regard that they really need such online sessions or they need to serve the users of their respective institute, college, university etc. If this is the situation continues the importance of seminar, conferences, workshop are losing their value in the academic environment. The professionals need to think about this issue. With regards -------------------------------------------- Devendrappa T M Assistant Librarian Indian Maritime University Navi Mumbai Campus. Instead of holding Webinars exclusively for LIS professionals, I think we (librarians) should hold such events for the benefit of our own library users (students/ faculty/ researchers) which will not only enhance the visibility to our work as librarians but will also give us a satisfaction of doing something fruitful for the welfare of the society.

Dear Friends, Informatics is pleased to invite all of you to register for a Webinar on: Topic: Outcome Based Education - Roadmap to E-Learning & Accreditation Speaker: Dr. N J Rao Former Chairman, Department of Management Studies at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (1998-2006) Former Chairman - CEDT (Centre for Electronics Design and Technology) IISc (1981-1996) Former member of Core committees that defined the present NBA Accreditation process and the new Accreditation processes of NAAC Chair: Prof. R. Chandrashekar Professor and Dean (Academics) The International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Bangalore Date: May 29, 2020 Time: 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM Abstract of Presentation Outcomes of Learning or ‘learning outcomes’ are what the student should be able to do at the end of a learning experience. Learning experiences in formal higher education programs are learning units, which can be a few hours of self/classroom learning activity, a one-semester course, or a formal program of two to four years duration. William Spady introduced the term Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in the early 90s to shift the focus from what is taught to what is learned. OBE approaches education by making decisions about the curriculum and instruction that are driven by the exit learning outcomes that the students should display at the end of a program or a course. OBE gives priority to ends, purposes, learning, accomplishments, and results. The outcomes at the end of a formal program are identified by the Institution and/or the concerned Accreditation agency. The outcomes at the end of a course/activity in a program are identified by the concerned Board of Studies. The course outcomes (COs) are best written by following a structure identified in the framework of Revised Bloom’s taxonomy or Revised Bloom-Vincenti taxonomy in case of engineering courses. The talk by Dr. N J Rao will take you through how Outcome based Education (OBE) facilitates the process of Accreditation, better learning, measuring the outcome of learning and what tools will prove to be useful in implementing the OBE.
