Open Access / Solutions but not illegal affair
by vinod mishra 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Dear All, Many time there is a debate on open access resources and many of the people supported Sci-hub and such illegal resources. My simple view is how these illegal resources can be supported by many people and hamper the right of anyone/publishers hand to mouth. The resources which was collected and organized by publishers required huge manpower and infrastructure as well as the authors of intellectual output accepted terms and condition of the publishers. In open source software world we are free to use and distribute software but can never distribute and use Microsoft windows etc. similarly there is already several laws for such publications and we must convince publishers to publish under such laws which help in free flow of knowledge else we can think of framing such laws which is win win kind of situation for publisher, author and rest of users. Such as a rule can be framed where publisher can provide free access to affiliated institutes to all particular journal issue/volume which contain even a single article of authors affiliated institute or there may be like this. But please remember illegal is illegal and to survive and make healthy society where every body is having right for food, cloth and shelter we must accept the laws framed by us for us only. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Price barriers should not prevent students, researchers (or anyone) from getting access to research they need. Open Access, and the open availability and searchability of scholarly research that it entails, will have a significant positive impact on everything from education to the practice of medicine to the ability of entrepreneurs to innovate. *Panelists * Prof. Satyajit Mayor (Director, The National Centre for Biological Sciences) Prof. Jayant M. Modak (Deputy Director, Indian Institute of Science) Mr. Sunil Abraham (Executive Director, Centre for Internet and Society) Mr. N V Sathyanarayana (Chairman & Managing Director, Informatics India Ltd) Mr. Madhan Muthu (Visiting Scientist, DST-Centre for Policy Research, IISc) *All are Welcome* Event Poster : https://iiscdstcpr.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/open- access-panel-discussion.pdf -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

With his visionary enthusiasm, Garfield saw in his creations a better science for society and the ideal of a unified body of knowledge accessible to all. The two speakers, between them, will cover the impact of the man and his work on science and scientists as well as on the way performance in science is evaluated. We will also get to hear about how Garfield evolved from humble beginnings to a businessman, scholar and a polymath. Come listen to the fascinating story of the man whose creations have transformed the fabric of science.

Balaram About the speakers: David A. Pendlebury joined the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), now Clarivate Analytics, in 1983.
