Science & Technology Metrics 2019- Revised CFP
by Francis Jayakanth 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 29 August 2019 13:21 First International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2019) Bangkok, Thailand December 02-04, 2019 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) Sponsored by Clarivate Analytics 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 2019) 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 Systems 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 Track 1: Open Science Science relies on the sharing of ideas, research results, data, and methods. Quite often many scientific discoveries and innovations fail to reach the society because of the closed scientific publications. If Science is built based on existing knowledge it needs to reach every one and hence Open Science leads the knowledge transaction. This track addresses the challenges and issues and pave the way to develop and nurture open science. Track 2: Peer Review Peer review is the process by which experts critically examine the research contributions using standard metrics. Peer review helps maintain and enhance quality both directly by detecting weaknesses and errors in specific works. These reviews enable to decide publication, research grants, employment, promotion, and tenure. Peer review promotes accountability and improves the quality of work. Track 3: Content and Text mining based metrics This track enables to present works that use numeric indices to process unstructured (textual) information and to build various data mining (statistical and machine learning) algorithms. Information can be extracted to derive summaries for the words contained in the documents or to compute summaries for the documents based on the words contained in them. One can analyze words, clusters of words used in documents, and we could analyze documents and determine similarities between them or how they are related to other variables. The studies of text mining will “turn text into numbers” (meaningful indices), which can then be incorporated in other analyses. 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. Track 4: Technology Transfer Metrics The technology transfer enables the outreach of the research outcomes to a wider level. The technology transfer measures are of interest to practitioners, program managers, and policymakers in the evaluation of technology transfer programs. Building metrics can lead to a better measurement of effectiveness, efficiency, and return on investment. The introduction of newer metrics will be helpful to identify the benchmarking tools. The proposed track will discuss the currently existing metrics and the research on the development of new metrics as well as their applications. Chair: Mohammad Hassanzadeh, Tarbiat Modares University, Iran Track 5: Open Science Metrics The primary goal of this track is to enable to construct, identify, and specify relevant metrics and indicators for open science. Measuring the extent of openness in science and creating or using metrics is important. Measuring Open science help to realize the innovation. We can thus find how collaboration and knowledge sharing occurs and how institutions work on it. Openness also yields enormous data and knoweldge. This track gauge using available data about openness in science. 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.

This is a very interesting information. I used to hear similar utterances from many of my colleagues. The fact is open access books collect dust, mites, bacteria etc...Library professionals do get Allergy, Asthama,Skin problems ,eczema,psoriasis,pulmonary diseases and they are considered occupational hazards. For that purpose we have to learn to live with problem and reduce the same to the extent possible. Then percentage of paranoia may diminish! Shantha V. Sent from Outlook<http://aka.ms/weboutlook>

Infection from Library Books
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

For many people,visiting their local library and picking up a book knowing it’s gone through several other hands can be a source of amazement. But for a skittish public in the 1890s, there was a nagging fear that handling a borrowed book could infect them with smallpox, scarlet fever, or tuberculosis. The pleasure of owning a library card became an exercise in terror. In a fantastic article recently posted on Smithsonian <https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/during-great-book-scare-people-worri…>, writer Joseph Hayes chronicles an extended bout of hysteria related to lending libraries in the United States and abroad. With news accounts of a Nebraskan librarian’s death from tuberculosis in 1895 being attributed to her handling of books, the public grew concerned that volumes could be contaminated by people harboring infectious diseases. While it seems as though this concern should be valid for other things repeatedly handled by the public—like doorknobs, for example—library books were singled out for their seeming ability to trap germs in pages that could then spring out when the book was opened. People were also fretful that someone with a fatal illness could cough onto the paper, expectorating tiny bits of germ-harboring tissue. Physicians did little to dampen the concern, proclaiming either no knowledge of whether books could transmit disease or plainly stating that it was possible. In the UK, the Public Health Act of 1875, which limited the sharing of contaminated items like bedding, was expanded in 1907 to include library books, with people known to carry disease prohibited from handling titles available to the general public. While paranoia was largely to blame for this bizarre belief, the panic actually aided conservative observers who feared certain books were salacious enough to corrupt the moral fabric. That libraries were being ostracized and books sat on shelves unread played into their objectives, and they attempted to reinforce the idea books were potential contagions whenever possible. Libraries began to experiment with methods for sterilizing books, including steam or formaldehyde solutions. It took years before the public panic subsided and no massive outbreaks of disease as a result of book borrowing materialized. Modern medicine has determined that, while book pages could conceivably harbor disease, the risk <https://mentalfloss.com/article/71875/just-how-gross-are-library-books-exac…> of infection from handling them is extremely low. Today’s libraries still clean books. At the Boston Public Library, for example, books go through what amounts to a tiny car wash on a conveyor belt, though it’s not to sterilize them. It’s simply to remove <http://mentalfloss.com/article/500476/boston-public-library-owns-mini-car-w…> dust from pages ========= http://mentalfloss.com/authors/50443/Jake-Rossen Dr P Vyasamoorthy ///toasters.opposite.sometime <https://w3w.co/toasters.opposite.sometime> 040-27846631 / 09490804278 / +918179386472

Rather than using web pages for humans to be read, information is presented in such a way that it can be read automatically by computers. This seminar discusses the main principles of Linked Data, the underlying technologies, the background standards, and how it may be applied in Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) contexts. It provides an overview of how data can be published as linked data with Resource Description Framework (RDF) and also explains the role of vocabularies and Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI). This seminar also discusses how this RDF can be used to provide the information of the book with an example and the challenges that are present in applying linked data in libraries.
