Global Research Report - Research and Collaboration in India - The New Geography of Science
by Dhanukumar Pattanashetti 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Dear Moderator, Please post this to LIS Forum. Thank you. Dear Professionals, Thomson Reuters recently released the Global Research Report – India. This report is part of a series launched by Thomson Reuters to inform policymakers about the changing landscape and dynamics of the global research base. Web of Science is the key resource leveraged in publishing this report. Key highlights of Global Research Report - India: - In the last decade, India has seen a substantial growth in its annual output of scientific publications as indexed by Thomson Reuters—from roughly 16,500 in 1998 to nearly 30,000 in 2007, an increase of some 80%. - Particularly striking is the rise in India’s annual growth rate in the last seven or eight years, based on its successive percentage increases in the number of published papers. India’s growth in this regard, although largely static through the 1990s, has vaulted in recent years to rival comparable figures from such well-established European and Asian nations as Japan, France, German, and the United Kingdom. - If its growth trajectory continues, India’s productivity will be on par with most G8 nations within seven to eight years and will overtake them between within the next decade. - India’s areas of scientific concentration and strength, as reflected in the Thomson Reuters database, embrace a diversity of key fields: Chemistry, Agricultural Sciences, Materials, Engineering, and Space Science. India’s historical strength in agriculture, in particular, can be discerned from its concentration in such subfields as Agricultural Engineering, Dairy & Animal Science, and Agronomy. The nation is also strongly represented in medical subfields, including Tropical Medicine, Integrative & Complementary Medicine, and Medicinal Chemistry. - India has established stable and growing research partnerships with a variety nations — notably, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Among international institutions, India has published frequently with such world-class organizations as the University of Tokyo and the University of Texas system, not to mention with institutions in other emerging research economies in the East, including those in China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. - In all, India’s current rise in science is as impressive as its economic surge of recent years, and as India builds on its scientific enterprise and further diversifies its research base and its collaborative networks, the nation is certain to claim its place at the forefront of world science.

Integrating library automation package with digital library software and workshop material
by Anuradha.K.T. 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

*** Apologies for cross posting a long mail *** As part of a project entitled "Enhancing Knowledge Innovation Culture of Libraries through Union Catalogue" carried out at National Centre for Science Information, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, funded by The International Development Research Centre, Canada, a prototype union catalog is created using Koha, a open source library automation software with 4 different collections: 1. Records from a big library (about 120,000 records) 2. Records from a medium size library (about 20,000 records) 3. A few multilingual records downloaded from the Net and 4. About 15 e-books downloaded from the Net, which do not violate copyright law. With these four collections we have successfully addressed the issues of data mining, data migration, bulk import, multilingual records handling and full text searching (using both Greenstone and Fedora Commons) in a library automation package. All these are carried out using Koha as it supports developmental work. The implementation of these can be accessed at: http://dharmaganja.ncsi.iisc.ernet.in:8082/ Though we have extensively tested other software: NewGenLib, PMB, Vufind and Evergreen (library automation package), because of clashes with the supporting software versions, we have not implemented them on the server. A series of workshops was organized to train manpower in using the available technological tools for library automation (Koha, NewGenLib, PMB, Vufind, MarcEdit, Greenstone, Fedora Commons, PHP and CSS tutorials, Ubuntu installation). The workshop material including technical sessions and lab sessions can be accessed at: http://dharmaganja.ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/workshopmodi2/ Whenever the material from this site is made use of, kindly acknowledge the site and let us know by sending a mail to anu(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. -- Regards, Dr.Anuradha.K.T.
