Unacknowledged convergence of open source, open access, and open science
by Sukhdev Singh 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

John Willinsky[1] in an article[2] argues that initiatives like opensource software, open access to research and scholarship, and openscience are based on common commitments and priciples. All theseinitiatives are committed to resist any barriers to exchange ofinformation and ideas. Even the business model is almost similierbased on the principles of (1) the efficacy of free software and research; (2) the reputation–building afforded by public access and patronage; and, (3) the emergence of a free–or–subscribe access model. Still, with this much in common, the strong sense of convergence amongthese open initiatives has yet to be fully realized, to the detrimentof the larger, common issue. He talks of three principles: Principle One: Before software was open, it was freePrinciple Two: The economics of patronagePrinciple Three: Free or subscribe Some extracts of his article: .."To pursue a strictly business perspective on open source softwareonly serves to prevent readers from realizing open source's closeconnections to the long–standing traditions of open science.".. .."The publishing economy of scholarly journals is dominated by arather perverse property relation, in which the last investor in theresearch production chain — consisting of university, researcher,funding agency, and publisher — owns the resulting work outrightthrough a very small investment in relation to the work's overall costand value.".. .."Open source software is also free like free beer, in most instances.".. .."With the use of open source code, no less than with scholarly work,the property right at issue is almost entirely a matter of respectingthe authorship of the original work".. .."Scholarship has long strived to open its processes to critique andcontribution, even if at best those processes are shaped inhistorically contingent ways. The open access movement is no lessdevoted to lowering barriers by enabling more researchers and studentsto read the current published literature.".. .."perhaps 15 percent of the current literature is being posted byauthors in archives.".. .."Open access has the potential to make very close to the entire bodyof literature available to anyone with an Internet connection ... Thiswould make a considerable difference to a wide range of scholars,students and others who are otherwise unable to obtain or affordaccess. What is holding back this far greater circulation ofknowledge, at this point, is general lack of faculty awareness andinterest in increasing access to published literature."..

Article Indexing of Indian Journals
by Chitra P Rao 19 Jan '06

19 Jan '06

Respected collegues of the Library Professional: On 5th Jan I had sent out a message on the LIS forum on the above topic.. I would like to respond to the same. I have recieved many replies and interestingly those who have OA inititive in their Libraries are from NIC and IGIDR. That is my point exactly when we have such a large population of Librarians in our country why only a select few can take up such projects.. Answers to this are many.. my only conclusion is that it is not very probable to undertake this kind of tasks without Committment from within and the organization you work in. Hence my mail to the LIS Forum. Interestingly I have come accross one email from Divan Enterprises a part of Globe publishing which has undertaken a very valient effort in this direction. His objective is to have a single platform of Indian Journals and to highlight Indian Contributions Globally. He is in constant touch with various Indian Publishers to give him the right to host their Journals online as well as provide this service to all Librraies. For procuring Indian Journals online abstracts and full text.. This I found to be the answer to what I was trying accomplish.. I request that all of us should write to the publishesrs of journals which we subscribe and ask them to host their journal on the site.. This is the address of the site. http://indianjournals.com I request your feedback on this and hope to get good cooperation from Publishers and Libraries to support this.. With regards chitra Rao Sr Librarian and Head LIS NITIE Mumbai 400 087 ph: 28573371 extn 337

Relationship between "IndMED" and "Yoga for depression: The research evidence"!!
by Sukhdev Singh 19 Jan '06

19 Jan '06

Relationship between "IndMED" and "Yoga for depression: The research evidence"!! I just came accross an article where researchers from UK includedIndMED [ http://indmed.nic.in ] as part of their research methodology.The abstract of the same is given below of this email. Do I need to say more about utility of IndMED? And I keep remindingpeople IndMED is not for Indians(?). It is for exposure of IndianResearch world wide. --Sukhdev Singh, NIC.http://indmed.nic.in ; http://medind.nic.in and http://openmed.nic.in ------------------------------Journal of Affective Disorders, Volume 89, Issue 1-3, Pages 13-24http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2005.08.013 Yoga for depression: The research evidence Karen Pilkingtona; Graham Kirkwooda; Hagen Rampesc and Janet Richardson [--Research Council for Complementary Medicine, London, UK--School of Integrated Health, University of Westminster, 115 NewCavendish Street, London W1W 6UW, UK--Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust, NorthwestCommunity Mental Health Team, Edgware, Middlesex, UK--Health and Social Work, University of Plymouth and Research Councilfor Complementary Medicine, London, UK] Received 8 April 2005; revised 31 August 2005; accepted 31 August2005. Available online 26 September 2005. Abstract:-Background- Yoga-based interventions may prove to be an attractive option for thetreatment of depression. The aim of this study is to systematicallyreview the research evidence on the effectiveness of yoga for thisindication. -Methods- Searches of the major biomedical databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE,ClNAHL, PsycINFO and the Cochrane Library were conducted. Specialistcomplementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and the IndMED databaseswere also searched and efforts made to identify unpublished andongoing research. Searches were conducted between January and June2004. Relevant research was categorised by study type and appraised.Clinical commentaries were obtained for studies reporting clinicaloutcomes. -Results- Five randomised controlled trials were located, each of which utiliseddifferent forms of yoga interventions and in which the severity of thecondition ranged from mild to severe. All trials reported positivefindings but methodological details such as method of randomisation,compliance and attrition rates were missing. No adverse effects werereported with the exception of fatigue and breathlessness inparticipants in one study. -Limitations- No language restrictions were imposed on the searches conducted but nosearches of databases in languages other than English were included. -Conclusions- Overall, the initial indications are of potentially beneficial effectsof yoga interventions on depressive disorders. Variation ininterventions, severity and reporting of trial methodology suggeststhat the findings must be interpreted with caution. Several of theinterventions may not be feasible in those with reduced or impairedmobility. Nevertheless, further investigation of yoga as a therapeuticintervention is warranted.
