Dr. N. C. Ghosh’s presentation was titled “Understanding Metrics for measuring the Impact of Scholarly Communications”. He began with a brief contemplation on the evolution of changes in the medium for recording scholarly communications. Subsequently, he introduced the audience to several nuances of scholarly communications, namely its definitions, channels and cycles. An integral portion of his lecture was devoted to various modes of estimating the impact of scholarly publications in online academic communities; some fundamental varieties of impact include article impact, journal impact, author impact, book impact and book chapter impact. Dr. Ghosh spoke of various softwares capable of generating journal citation reports which provide scholars with transparent, publisher-neutral data and statistics. The presentation focused on some appropriate modes of estimating the impact of a particular journal, some of which would include the SCImago Journal Rank, Impact per Publication (IPP) and the Immediacy Index. The lecture concluded with a reflection on possible strategies to maximize the impact of scholarly output in online scholarly communities. Dr. Ghosh’s presentation was followed by a brief Question-Answer round, which was succeeded by a fifteen-minute tea-break.

At 12.45 pm, the second session of the workshop resumed with the presentation of Dr. Pritam Gurey which was titled “Similarity Detection: An Important Approach towards Quality Publication”. The presentation began with a reflection with a definition of plagiarism and its considerably wide range of manifestation, not only in scholarly publications, but also in film posters and music. Direct plagiarism, patchwork plagiarism, paraphrasing plagiarism and unintentional plagiarism are some of its variants. Dr. Gurey spoke at length on the different formats of citation which is an indispensable practice for tackling plagiarism. Subsequently, he demonstrated with the aid of pre-recorded screenshots how various plagiarism-detection tools such as Turnitin and Ouriginal operate—this provided a revealing insight into the handling of plagiarism-detection tools to the members of the audience. The presentation was followed by a Question-Answer round where members of the library staff, Committee members and students directed their queries to the speaker.
