Research Writing and Publication- Training Programme
by Francis Jayakanth 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 11 December 2019 22:37 Workshop on Preparing Quality Research Writing and Improving Research Impact January 03-04, 2020 Vellalar College, Erode. Tamilnadu http://dirf.org/training.html Call For Participation Writing a good research paper needs learning skills and gaining experience. The available data about Indian research papers reveal that a very large number of papers are rejected in highly scholarly journals. There are many reasons for such a poor state of the environment. An article in Current Science highlighted the causes of rejection of scientific papers produced in the Third world countries. It includes lack of knowledge of scientific research, poor writing skills, language issues, absence of novelty in research and so on. If researchers are directed in the right way of writing good pieces of research, it may increase the level of Indian research publications. Realizing this value, a training workshop is planned for two days at the Vellalar College for Women, Erode. The proposed training workshop addresses the following issues. The ways of producing good research and writing high-level papers Gain exposure for creating new approaches and solving research issues Understanding the requirements of a good paper The characteristics of a good scientific reporting The approaches to understand a system of quality writing The content of a good research, good review and revision These issues can be explained to Indian academic researchers, particularly the young ones. Focusing the researchers on such issues will be possible by orienting them in training sessions. A training programme can be a model to carry out this plan. The following themes will be more purposeful. How to produce qualitative research publication? How to reflect the research carried out through the publication? What are the measures for research impact? What is the best way to disseminate research? How to structure the research publication? How to assess the reviewed publication? What is indexed research? How to integrate the research in the process of global review and indexing? How to increase the research publication quality and record high research productivity? How to improve English language presentation and proof-read the language without language experts How to find collaborators and form a collaborative network in research The above issues are just a few examples of the issues focused on the researchers. Young researchers need to be motivated to generate high-quality research. They need to be focused on global reviewed and indexed research. The program will also address the issues such as Information access pattern, Research collaboration, strategies for generating good pieces of research and improving research quality. This program will enable the researchers to understand the research publication process and to participate in the global research network. The programme will discuss the ways to optimize the research publication activities and the structure of research publications, review and indexing process, methods of generating good publications, demonstration of global indexing databases, research networks and other citation and evaluation metrics. The programme will have presentations, illustrations and discussions. The program will also have an exclusive session with interaction and discussions on ‘academic profiling with research publications and citation metrics’. The second session will have a presentation on case studies and illustrations in various subjects and domains. The participants can send draft papers and the papers will be discussed for good writing. Training Session Faculty The proposed programme will be addressed by eminent and experienced international researchers and information scientists. The following speakers have confirmed their participation as of now. Prof. P. Pichappan Director Digital Information Research Labs. Ilford, UK & Chennai, India Prof. S. Sivasubramanian Former Vice-Chancellor Bharathiar University Coimbatore-641 046 Dr. J. K.

New agreed definition of predatory publishing
by Rabishankar Giri 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Dear All, We are all aware that scholars from India contribute a substantial number of papers in Predatory Journals that cause the rising incidences of shoddy scholarship in Academia in our country. However, we lack an agreed definition of Predatory Publishing. The new issue of 'Nature' has espoused a consensus definition of Predatory Publishing, which is - “Predatory journals and publishers are entities that prioritize self-interest at the expense of scholarship and are characterized by false or misleading information, deviation from best editorial and publication practices, a lack of transparency, and/or the use of aggressive and indiscriminate solicitation practices.”-Nature 576, 210-212 (2019) Regards,Rabishankar GiriPresidency Universitywww.presiuniv.ac.inhttps://scholar.google.co.in/citations?user=lC…

Big Data V/S Small Data
by Vasanth 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

Dear sir, Data is facts and figures and if that is generated in huge quantity that can be called big data. Librarians for long have been involving in processing huge quantum of data generated through various means such as patrons data, usage statistics of various kinds for example opac search data etc. Bibliometrics itself is an example for big data. Bringing context through data analysis to big data (any kind) has become much easier in recent times through machine. Imagine a city traffic data could it be possible to collect all that previously, now technology has made it possible and also helps in processing this for identifying some pattern to identify solutions to existing traffic problems. For librarians big data is not new. But over the years the name big data has attracted the masses in a big way because of the data generated in social media and the opportunity it has provided to analyze them with lightning speed. Big data can also be a big brother remember Cambridge analytica . Data is oil, data is money, data is gold. So it is big data! (Jokingly). ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.Mysore

What a library professionals can do with big data if we don't understand properly how to handle small data of catalogue, Digital repositories, etc. Please educate me being academic librarian what I can do with big data and where I can find it in library? Is there any relevance of this concept for libraries in Indian context or at present it is one of the topic to speak and keep in syllabus/conferences? Thanking You

Workshop on "Interactive Data Storytelling and Visualization" on 14th December 2019 (Saturday)
by Vijay Vikram S Parihar 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Dear Professional, We invite you to participate in a Workshop on "Interactive Data Storytelling and Visualization" which is being organized on 14th December 2019 (Saturday). Background: Any great story means visualization and detail. It takes the small additions of those details to build a picture in someone's mind to truly make the story complete. The same goes for analytics and data. However, interpreting all the data correctly and turning it into a great story can be an intimidating task that many organizations struggle to accomplish. So, what does it mean to "tell a story with data?" Data is just a collection of numbers until you turn it into a story. Showing reports and dashboards can be overwhelming without adding a narrative to the data. Any great insight explains what happened, why it is important and how you can use it to turn it into something actionable. Data visualization is using data and statistics in creative ways to show patterns and draw conclusions about a hypothesis, or prove theories, that can help drive decisions in the organization. Why is it important? Telling a great data-driven story can be useful for both stakeholders and your customers and can drive better decision making within an organization and also drive conversions with your customers. How to join the workshop? Joining this workshop is your first stepping stone in the milestone. If you want to be part of the action and insight, then join the workshop. Some of the leading experts from the industry are going to share their experiences. You will also get hands on experience to work on various tools and techniques.

No Final Decision Yet on Merger of UGC and AICTE, Says HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal
by Deepak Wadtele 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

*Respected All, * *News Update:- * No Final Decision Yet on Merger of UGC and AICTE, Says HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal *| News 18 | **PTI* | *November 21, 2019 | * *In September this year, the HRD minister had said the bill was in final stages and will be taken to the Union Cabinet in October.* [image: image.png] *New Delhi:* No final decision has been taken yet on merger of the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said on Thursday. “Till now, no final decision has been taken on this issue,” Nishank said in response to a written question in the Rajya Sabha. Last year, the Human Resource Development Ministry had announced its decision to replace the UGC by repealing the UGC Act, 1951. A draft bill for this was put in public domain for feedback. However, it was decided later that the Higher Education Commission of India will also take over the AICTE. In September this year, the minister said the bill was in final stages and will be taken to the Union Cabinet in October. “The *Higher Education Commission of India* will be a single regulator and replace UGC and AICTE. The bill has been prepared after elaborate consultation with states. It will be taken to the Cabinet in October,” he had tweeted. The draft bill had proposed *HECI* to control academic matters while an advisory board under the HRD minister would be in charge of issuing monetary grants to universities. But various student groups had opposed the handing over of the financial control to the HRD ministry. UGC is the regulator for universities across the country and AICTE acts as a regulator for engineering, pharmacy, management and other technical education colleges. *Source :- * *https://www.news18.com/news/india/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger-of-ugc-and-aicte-says-hrd-minister-ramesh-pokhriyal-2395449.html* <https://www.news18.com/news/india/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger-of-ugc-an…> *https://indianexpress.com/article/education/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger-of-ugc-aicte-hrd-minister-ramesh-pokhriyal-nishank-6130679/* <https://indianexpress.com/article/education/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger…> *Thanks with regards Deepak B.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 200, Issue 21
by P. S. MANJUNATHA 21 Nov '19

The matching words do not have to be consecutive, but they do have to be meaningful words. So for example, words such as 'and', 'to' or 'by' are classed as link words and would not count towards the 14 words, but those 14 meaningful words could be found in different places in the document - for example 3 words on page 1, 3 words on page 2, and 8 words on page 3. In the example given, yes, any matches of fewer than 14 words would be excluded if this option was selected in the 'exclude small matches' filter. Kind regards, P. S. MANJUNATHA LIBRARIAN B.N.M.
