Dear Moderator pls circulate. PLOS PROFITS PROMPT REVAMP The Public Library of Science (PLOS) is not accustomed to having spare cash. Founded by scientists in 2000 as a grass-roots organization advocating open scholarly communication, PLOS reinvented itself as an open-access journal publisher in 2003 with the help of philanthropic grants. It has spent much of the decade since then "skating on thin financial ice", in the words of co-founder and board member Michael Eisen, a geneticist at the University of California, Berkeley.

Is it an error???
by Ajay Kamble 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

As we all know, UGC published the UGC REGULATIONS FOR APPOINTMENTS AND CAREER ADVANCEMENT SCHEME OF TEACHERS AND OTHER ACADEMIC STAFF IN UNIVERSITY / COLLEGES AND MEASURES FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF STANDARDS IN HIGHER EDUCATION 2010, which was later published in the Gazette of India, 18 September, 2010 and later was accepted by Government of Maharastra, DHTE vide its GR No. Sankirna - 2011/(25/11) vishi-1 dated 15th February, 2011. Also, recently accepted by Mumbai University vide its Circular No. CONCOL/TAU/40/ of 2012-13 dated 19th March 2013. If we refer 1. Appendix III Table - II(a) And 6.1.0 of UGC Regulation 2010 (page no. 104) 2. Appendix III Table - II(b) of UGC Regulations 2010 (page no 105) 3. Appendix III Table VIII(a) of the UGC Regulations 2010 (page no 122) 4. Appendix III Table VIII(b) of the UGC Regulations 2010 (page no 123) and compare the IV row regards Research and Academic Contribution (Category III) we found that, 1. The points of University Teacher and University Library Staff equals and found relevant to each other. 2. The points viz. 5/year and 20/AP; 10/year and 50/AP; 15/year and 45/AP for College Teachers are also relevant. 3. The points for College Librarian for stage I to II are 5/year and 40/AP is found irrelevant as 5 x 6 = 30 as maximum AP for first stage is 6 years. 4. Same is the case for Stage II to III and Stage III to IV. 5. This may be misprinted and the error remains unknown all these years. 6. The report was studied and forwarded by expert committees from UGC, MHRD, Government of Maharshtra and University of Mumbai and still no one has noticed the above error. 7. Suppose, if it is not an error, are they expecting the college librarians to do more research work than teacher categories. If anyone is having more information on this issue please let us know. Thanks and Regards, Ajay M. Kamble Librarian Annasaheb Vartak Arts, Commerce, Science College, Vasai Road (W), Dist. Thane - 401202 www.mlsc.co.nr www.ajaykamble.co.nr -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
