    Managerial Cores in Open Science: Interpreting ‘Open’ With Library and Information Science
    (INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2022-11) Roy, Aditi; Ghosh, Saptarshi
    Open Science promotes scholarly communications through collaborations between societal agents by sharing information that is accessible and reusable for everyone. The benefit of science and society promotes transparent and reproducible open knowledge creation and engagement of societal actors to enhance scientific knowledge. This study focuses on the core concepts of Open Science and Library and Information Science discipline to delineate a relational association between the two. This study also tries identifying the motivational traits in Library Management and Open Science by interpreting Maslow’s Need Theory and Schwartz’s Value Theory. Lastly, this study traces technology acceptance by library professionals with the elaboration of the Technology Acceptance Model given by Davis. Libraries provide open access and sharing of resources, information storage and retrieval, data handling and research data management, and guide researchers on open access publishing, open licensing, and others. In the proposed Technology Acceptance model conceived by the authors, the external factors actively or passively influence the attitude and behaviors of library professionals to use technology and systems for promoting Open Science initiatives and practices.

    Metadata Quality Benchmarks of ETDs in International Institutional Repositories: An Automated Appraisal
    (INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2023-11-17) Roy, Aditi; Ghosh, Saptarshi
    Good metadata quality makes a record more discoverable, facilitating search and retrieval. In this study, three methods are used to determine the quality of metadata of Electronic Theses and Dissertations; these are - Marc Report Analysis of Metadata, Metadata Quality parameters suggested by data.europa.eu, and lastly, a java based pre-compiled program by Peter Király has been used in this study. This study provides a brief comparative account of Electronic Theses and Dissertation Metadata structure of Institutional Repositories and Libraries. The comparative analysis of each repository shows that the total number of the record count is much higher in the case of the libraries as it was downloaded using z39.50/ SRU client. In contrast, in the case of repositories, only four sets of data are harvested using OAI-PMH. The field 040$e=rda is absent throughout the records of the institutional repositories. However, the field is present in a few records of the library, i.e., the University of Colorado shows 930 occurrences out of 1000 records. The process of metadata quality analysis involves a combination of automated tools and human expertise, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of metadata attributes and relationships.
