Words Algorithm Collection - finding closely related open access books using text mining techniques

Words Algorithm Collection - finding closely related open access books using text mining techniques Open access platforms and retail websites are both trying to present the most relevant offerings to their patrons. Retail websites deploy recommender systems that collect data about their customers. These systems are successful but intrude on privacy. As an alternative, this paper presents an algorithm that uses text mining techniques to find the most important themes of an open access book or chapter. By locating other publications that share one or more of these themes, it is possible to recommend closely related books or chapters. -- https://liberquarterly.eu/article/view/10938 -- Madhan, M

IOP Publishing and the Manipal Academy of Higher Education have finalised a Read and Publish agreement
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

IOP Publishing (IOPP) and the Manipal Academy of Higher Education have finalised a Read and Publish agreement as they work towards breaking down barriers to publishing open access (OA) for researchers from lower and lower middle-income countries. The unlimited OA agreement, which is one of IOP Publishing’s first in India, enables researchers affiliated with the Manipal Academy of Higher Education to publish all their research OA at no cost to them, making their scientific work permanently and freely available online for anyone to read. The agreement supports the growing appetite from researchers in India to publish their work OA. According to a global study of over 3,000 researchers carried out by IOPP with other society publishers, 62% of physical science researchers from India and Pakistan want to publish OA, but nearly 80% of respondents from these countries said a lack of funds are the main reason for not doing so. More details from https://ioppublishing.org/news/iop-publishing-and-manipal-academy-of-higher… MAHE has signed similar OA agreements with several International publishers. Congratulations to MAHE. forwarded by; Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar , Director Library Services & Professor American University of Antigua Antigua, West Indies www.auamed.org
