WIPO Manifesto for Transparency, Participation, Balance and Access Dear Professionals: The following open letter will be sent to WIPO, the World Intellectual Property Organization, calling for TRANSPARENCY, PARTICIPATION, BALANCE and ACCESS in its work. Prior to a large and ambitious publicity campaign, your sign-on to this letter is essential. WIPO is locking NGOs out of its negotiations, using tactics to isolate those governments who stand up for you, and hiding the evidence by deleting it from their website. The mentioned letter goes into great detail on this. If you are a computer programmer or polititian; if you are ill, if you have an audio/visual or motor impairment, if you are a student, academic, information or knowledge worker, librarian, or citizen concerned about access to information and knowledge and the absence of balance between rightsholders and the public interest within developed countries and mainly in developing/least developed countries, please take a moment to read this and consider signing into it. Things you can do: 1. sign onto the open letter (now available in English and Portuguese) by visiting this link: <http://www.petitiononline.com/wipo/petition.html>, and 2. spread it all over the world by sending e-mails and putting in your webpage a link to the online petition. Gandhi said, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you WIN." This is the fighting part, and your help is essential.

Opn Access Archiving
by Subbiah Arunachalam 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

Friends: I just visited the Bytesforall.net portal and found the following two interesting items. -------- UN opens its Official Document System to the general public The United Nations has launched its Official Document System (ODS), a full-text web resource for official UN documentation. INDIA * The 'virus' of Free Software is spreading... This is a list of the useful user groups that help in spreading Free/Libre and Open Source Software. Most are from around India, and could play a useful role in spreading the ideals of sharing and freedom in the FLOSS movement. Would really appreciate any help in updating and correcting this list and keeping it current. Thanks for helping to update this list and keeping it relevant. -- FN (Frederick Noronha in Goa) fred at bytesforall.org. ------- A number of the readers of this portal are keen to promote open source software. There is an equally important and useful goal to be achieved. I am talking about making the world's scientific and scholarly journal literature accessible to everyone free of cost and instantly on publication. The portal is happy to report that the UN has opened up its official documents. Should we not work towards opening up the scientific and schoalrly research literature? Some may ask why is that important. Let me explain. Knowledge is important at all levels. We at the M S Swaminathan Research Foundation know from our experience with the knowledge centres in Pondicherry and Tamil Nadu in southern India over the past decade how very useful access to knowledge is for the rural poor. The role played by these centres both during and after the recent tsunami attack on our coasts has been written about and discussed in intenational fora. The orderly fashion in which relief measures were delivered in these villages was in stark contrast to what had happened elsewhere. Andy Carvin and others who attended the recent Baramati Conference were full of praise for Prof. Swaminathan's talk on our kowledge centres. If access to relevant and useful information makes a difference in the lives of the rural poor, it is even more crucial for those in the business of generating new knowledge that can form the basis of development. That is why scientists and scholars need to have immediate access to the newly emerging kowledge, irrespective of where it comes from. Unfortunately, the scholarly journals which mediate this process have become unaffordable; there are too many of them and most of them are very expensive. But developments in technology, especially ICTs, have made it possible for us now to have such access at a ridiculously low cost. Taking advantage of the web technology, physicists of the world started exchanging their research findings through an archive called arXiv about 15 years ago. Today most physicists worth the name use arXiv to let others know of therir new papers and to learn what other physicists are up to. arXiv is a centralised archive, originally located at Los Alamos National Laboratory and now at Cornell University, and it has more than 15 mirror sites, several of them in Asia including one at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences in Chennai (Madras). People who have thought about archiving research papers have thought of interoperable institutional archives as another possibility and today there are about 400 such institutional open access archives around the world. The one at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, has about 1,700 papers stored in it and the number is increasing every day. It is in the interest of developing country scientists and scholars to promote the culture of institutional archiving. Imagine a world where every institution performing and publishing research has an archive and every scientist deposits his/her papers in these archives. Now anyone can access any paper if he/she has an Internet connection. Knowledge will flow freely and science will advance much faster than in a regime where knowledge is locked up and kept inaccessible to all the users through cost barriers. There is another and possibly more important benefit for developing country scientists. Right now papers by scientists from DCs are rarely noticed, read and quoted by others. The journals produced in DCs are rarely subscribed by libraries in advanced countries. Often someone in Bangalore may not know what another scientist living in Kanpur has published! But if all these papers are available free on the Net, then their visibility and citability will increase manifold. And that is precisely what every scientist would want. Setting up interoperable institutional open access archives is pretty easy. The software is free and can be downloaded from the Net. There are experts who are willing to provide training (if needed). There are many international organizations actively promoting the culture if OA archiving. Those of us who are trying to promote the use of free and open source software could in addition promote OAA as well. A recent study has shown that we need to create an awareness among scientists and policymakers of the tremendous advantages of such archives. We need to mount many advocacy programmes. The recent meeting (Berlin-3) held at the Southampton University came up with the following recommendation: "In order to implement the Berlin Declaration institutions should 1) Implement a policy to require their researchers to deposit a copy of all their published articles in an open access repository. and 2) Encourage their researchers to publish their research articles in open access journals where a suitable journal exists and provide the support to enable that to happen." I would urge all of you friends to persuade institutions (your own and others) to adopt and implement these recommendations. Thanks and best wishes.

EDC- DL prototype for dot-EDU India Instructional Materials@Vidyanidhi A prototype digital library has been built for the dot-EDU India Interactive audio-video Instructional Materials using the Greenstone Digital Library Software. A demo version of the same is hosted on the website- www.vidyanidhi.org.in/edcdl The prototype with the current collection of 125 Interactive Radio Instructional materials is made available as EDC- DL- in a box. Dot-EDU Technology Tools for Teaching and Training (T4) is a project sponsored by USAID and implemented by Education Development Center (EDC) and its 39 dot-EDU NGO and government partners. Dot-EDU T4 was created to improve the quality of education in selected states in India. Education Development Center (EDC) and its 39 dot-EDU NGO and government partners believe that educational quality and equitable access are intrinsically connected. They aim to improve the mass delivery of educational quality in order to have an impact on what is learned and who is learning it. EDC and its partners are making great strides towards achieving these goals in the target states of Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand. This project seeks to accomplish its goals through carefully planned, locally-developed applications of digital technologies, coupled with workshops and interaction with the communities. For more info- www.ies.sdc.org <http://www.ies.sdc.org/> The EDC-DL project is a consultancy assignment to the Vidyanidhi Digital Library @University of Mysore. The project involved, the study of metadata standards and vocabularies and developing an appropriate metadata set for the collection. Dublin Core (DC), Gateway to Educational Materials (GEM) and IMS Global were considered. The Dublin Core application profile for educational materials with 19 elements has been developed and deployed. Three controlled vocabularies- The Australian Council for Educational Research www.acer.edu.au <http://www.acer.edu.au/> ; The Eurydice Information network on Education in Europe: www.eurydice.org <http://www.eurydice.org/> ; Education Information Resources Center -ERIC www.eric.ed.gov <http://www.eric.ed.gov/> were studied and finally ERIC vocabulary was chosen. The collection comprised of three series - the Chukki Chinna series for Karnataka and the English is Fun series for the states of Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand.Chattisgharn and Jharkhand. The Chukki Chinna interactive radio instruction series is a project-based, active learning approach to teaching and learning emerging from identified hard spots for science, social studies (or environmental studies) and mathematics in the 4th and 5th standard curriculum. English is Fun series comprises of interactive radio instruction (IRI) programmes on introductory English for 1st and 2nd grades.

ACS opened for open Access
by Madhuresh 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Dear Friends, At last ACS (American Chemical society) opened its door for open access. ACS was considered as a toughest publisher for Open access. Now ACS announced its compliance with Public Access Guidelines released by the NIH i.e. free availability of articles after one year of publication with some conditions for its 33 scholarly journals. Here is the press release: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------- American Chemical Society broadens access to its articles Conditions set for free availability one year after publication http://pubs.acs.org/pressrelease/article_access.html http://pubs.acs.org/pressrelease/article_access.pdf The American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, is broadening access to research articles published in its 33 scholarly journals. The Society is introducing two new experimental policies that define how readers can view free digital versions of ACS articles beginning one year after publication. First, in response to public access guidelines recently released by the NIH1, the ACS will post, for public accessibility 12 months after publication, the peer-reviewed version of authors' manuscripts on the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central during 2005. The NIH policy encourages authors whose work it funds to submit their peer-reviewed manuscripts to PubMed Central, the agency's free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature. Commenting on this new service, ACS Publications Senior Vice President Brian Crawford said, "We understand that NIH-funded authors will wish to comply voluntarily with the NIH's policy request. By introducing this service, the ACS will take on the administrative burden of compliance and at the same time will ensure the integrity of the scientific literature by depositing the appropriate author version of the manuscript after peer-review." Second, as a value-added service to ACS authors and a method of further opening access to its content, the full-text version of all research articles published in ACS journals will be made available at no charge via an author-directed Web link 12 months after final publication. Allowing unrestricted access to articles 12 months after publication is an expansion of the Society's current practice of permitting 50 downloads of authors' articles free of charge during the first year of publication. This initiative will go into effect during 2005. "We are very pleased to expand access in this way to research published in ACS journals," said Crawford. "It is fundamental to the ACS mission to support and promote the research enterprise and to foster communication among its scientists. Providing unrestricted access via author-directed links 12 months after publication - in addition to the 50 free e-prints currently allowed during the first year of publication - reinforces that mission." Robert Bovenschulte, president of the ACS Publications Division, said "These experimental policies balance the important goal of expanding dissemination of research with the need to preserve the integrity of the scientific record as well as the viability of our journals program." The American Chemical Society is a nonprofit organization, chartered by the U.S. Congress, with a multidisciplinary membership of more than 158,000 chemists and chemical engineers. It publishes numerous scientific journals and databases, convenes major research conferences and provides educational, science policy and career programs in chemistry. Its main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio. 1(Notice Number NOT-OD-05-022/ http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-05-022.html) Released: March 7, 2005 #13859 Related Press Releases: * American Chemical Society broadens author-directed article access: http://pubs.acs.org/pressrelease/e_prints.html * American Chemical Society policy will offer service to authors of NIH-funded research articles: http://pubs.acs.org/pressrelease/nih.html Regards Madhuresh Singhal Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited, Electronic City, phase II, Hosur Road, Bangalore 560100 Phone 28521314-16 Ext.- 422 Mobile 98861 82822 E-mail: madhureshsinghal(a)yahoo.com http://nettalk2.tripod.com/
