Published scientific discoveries and ideas are the foundation for future progress in science and medicine. The more widely and freely accessible the literature is, the greater its value to scientists, researchers, doctors, students and the general public. Unfettered access to research literature will allow scientists, physicians, educators, students, and the general public to find and read the latest scientific and medical discoveries. Authors have discussed various open access initiatives in this article which include OpenWetWare (OWW), The Public Library of Science (PLoS), Protocol Online, PubMed and PubMed Central (PMC), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and 3 QUARKS Daily.Keywords

Citations symbolize the conceptual association of scientific ideas published by researchers and authors. By the references they cite in their papers, authors make explicit linkages between the current research and prior work in the universe of scientific literature. The practice of citing has been there for a long time. A form of citation index was first found in 12th century Hebrew religious literature. The present study has been conducted using Shodhganga, one of the most popular theses and dissertations databases in India. The study was conducted to assess the use of popular style guides in Library and Information science theses, as library fraternity are known to be well versed with the style guides. The study was conducted by downloading the theses submitted by the departments of Library and Information Science of seven state universities in Karnataka. There are a total of 208 theses uploaded onto Shodhganga ETD database. The results show that the department of LIS, Karnatak University, Dharwad, has uploaded 89 theses. A total of 1000 referencing faults were found. 136 theses used American Psychological Association (APA) and 72 theses used Chicago reference styles. There were 32.73% spelling mistakes (mostly in the titles and headings), 25.45% numbering and 41.82% mentioning year faults found among all the theses. On a whole, it is found that theses from Karnatak University, Dharwad have more number of both intexts as well as end-text referencing faults.Keywords

The present study aimed to examine how the teachers inculcate the reading habits in doing their job in an effective manner. The article describeresults of 150 questionnaire obtained by the school teachers in Tumakuru. 92% of the teachers spend 30 minutes to 2 hours per week in the library for reading. 47.3% of the respondents feel that authors and 35% feel Subject is the main influence for them to read a book. Further, 32% read to prepare class work, 22.7% read for personality development, 20.7% read for pleasure or entertainment and 11.3% respondents only read books to gain knowledge. The teachers when read an interesting / stimulating book, 38% discuss it with their friends or colleagues, 26% share the joy of reading with their respective families and 24% would discusses it in the class. We feel this aspect is much useful to the students. The article also discuss on the ways to improve the reading habit among the teachers. The article also discusses Aliteracy and Peter Effect.Keywords

A patent is an important source of scholarly information and forms a link for scholarly communication in any discipline. The role played by and the influence of patents on scientific invention and innovation has become integral part of R&D, Product development, marketing and many scientific and commercial activities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the citations for the popular journal called Scientometrics available in the patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This study provides an overview on the importance of patent citations to scientific journals and provides the citations from the patents available in the USPTO database for Scientometrics Journal, a journal in the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) and Scholarly metrics. This study identifies to what extent the articles from the Scientometrics journal are used and cited by inventors of the patents in the USPTO. We analyzed the patent citations to Scientometrics. The results show that the total number of core patent citations to Scientometrics journal papers on the USPTO were 53 out of 64 retrieved results. The technical papers (or technology-oriented papers) related to various scientific, technical, the World Wide Web, and search engines published in Scientometrics journal attracted more citations from patents.Keywords

A comparative analysis of the top articles published in library and information science journals has been carried out using correlation comparison between the traditional citations v/s modern score derived by the approach of altmetrics score. The common approach points for the study are: finding the most popular social media platform for Altmetric studies; the most popular LIS articles grabbed social media attention; and conducting the correlation comparison of citation and altmetric attention scores. Top 10 LIS journals with the highest Google scholar metrics in terms of h5-index were selected. After analysis, the top ten articles were selected on the basis of highly cited articles, altmetrics attention score, countrywise twitting. The first article has got the highest citations and AAS with 1528 and 1972 respectively and also got highest online attentions from Mendeley with 1930 readers and featured in 31 tweets. Paper-9 has got the highest of 196 tweets, followed by paper 3 & 7 with 99 and 59 tweets respectively. Overall the AAA score, outscored the citations for all articles considered for the study. USA tops the list in the tweeting these top articles with 73, with 51 UK secured second position in twitting scholarly literature. The results found that a significant difference with a negative correlation at r (9) =-.106, p=.770. The study suggests that Indian scholars need to use social media sites such as Blogs, Tweets, Facebook, Wiki, Mendeley and others to enable the scholarly literature to reach the wider audience efficiently and effectively.Keywords

This paper examines the presence of Library and Information Science articles in social media platforms by considering the top 100 highly socially cited articles from the Dimensions database. The study examines the association between major metrics. Data were collected from Dimensions.ai, Altmetrics.com, WoS, Google Scholar, and analyzed. The findings suggest that all the 100 LIS articles have got at least one mention from nine different social media platforms with increased attention from Mendeley and Twitter. The article “Objectivity and realms of explanation in academic journal articles concerning sex/gender: a comparison of Gender studies and the other social sciences” authored by Therese Soderlund et al., has been the top socially cited article in Dimensions with an altmetricss attention score of 684. The study found a weak positive correlation between social media citation with major citations from Web of Science (r=0.19), Google Scholar(r=0.18) and Dimensions(r=0.19). This is the first of its kind study to measure the social media attention of LIS articles based on the Dimensions dataset and the result gives more insights to LIS authors for evaluating the societal impact of their research using altmetricss indicators.Keywords
