This paper reviews literature pertaining to the development of data science as a discipline, current issues with data bias and ethics, and the role that the discipline of information science may play in addressing these concerns. Information science research and researchers have much to offer for data science, owing to their background as transdisciplinary scholars who apply human-centered and social-behavioral perspectives to issues within natural science disciplines. Information science researchers have already contributed to a humanistic approach to data ethics within the literature and an emphasis on data science within information schools all but ensures that this literature will continue to grow in coming decades. This review article serves as a reference for the history, current progress, and potential future directions of data ethics research within the corpus of information science literature.

Current definitions of Information Science are inadequate to comprehensively describe the nature of its field of study and for addressing the problems that are arising from intelligent technologies. The ubiquitous rise of artificial intelligence applications and their impact on society demands the field of Information Science acknowledge the sociotechnical nature of these technologies. Previous definitions of Information Science over the last six decades have inadequately addressed the environmental, human, and social aspects of these technologies. This perspective piece advocates for an expanded definition of Information Science that fully includes the sociotechnical impacts information has on the conduct of research in this field. Proposing an expanded definition of Information Science that includes the sociotechnical aspects of this field should stimulate both conversation and widen the interdisciplinary lens necessary to address how intelligent technologies may be incorporated into society and our lives more fairly.

The authors discuss the historical bibliographic vector in the work of the Sci-tech Library of Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (Russian Academy of Sciences Siberian Branch). They characterize the milestones of the Institute since its establishment in 1950s and emphasize the role of Gersh Budker and his unique scholarly school. The authors focus on the principles of managing the Institute, its Academic Board’s democratic traditions, integration of experimental production and applied projects, and staff training. The RAS SB INP Library contributes to the preservation of scholarly legacy, builds its biobibliographical resources related to G. I. Budker, A. N. Skrinsky, E. P. Kruglyakov, B. V. Chirikov and L. M. Barkov. These resources comprise bibliographies, photo galleries, archival materials and publications, which contributes to the studies of science history and promotion of the Institute. The authors also discuss the current projects of the Library, e.g. the biographic gallery of prominent Institute researchers, information resource of the Great Patriotic War (WWII) veterans. It is important to keep the memory of scientists’ and specialists’ contributions to the fundamental and applied science. The authors demonstrate that the RAS SB INP traditions are balanced with the innovations, for example participation in international projects (e.g. the Large Hadron Collider) and new study fields like boron neutron capture therapy and building synchrotron radiation source SKIF. The paper is intended for historians of science, bibliographers, researchers, and everyone interested in nuclear physics and scientific legacy preservation.

Editorial board members (EBMs) of journals play a pivotal role in authentic international scientific journals. Editorial Board Interlocking (EBI) phenomenon reflects the effectiveness and importance of the scholarly journal's editorial boards in various scientific fields. The primary purpose of this paper is to conduct a Social Network Analysis (SNA) of EBI phenomena from the perspective of astronomy and astrophysics journals. The present study is applied research based on EBI, SNA, and the descriptive-analytical approach. The statistical population of this study consists of the editorial board members of all journals of astronomy and astrophysics indexed in the JCR and official journal websites. There are 1597 job positions in 67 astronomy and astrophysics journals occupied by the 1394 scholars. Data analysis shows EBI for 95 scholars and 79 organizations. "Aleksei A. Starobinsky" from Russia and the Russian Academy of Sciences, "Daniel J. Scheeres" from the United States, and the University of Colorado Boulder have the highest EBI contributions in five journals. "Daniel J. Scheeres," with a centrality of 39, has the highest degree of centrality measurement among the EBMs. The presence of more than five times as many men as women indicates that astronomy and astrophysics journals are considered "masculine" by the editorial board. The EBI phenomenon is observed in astronomy and astrophysics journals due to the limited number of peop le eligible for the editorial board. Due to EBI, a limited number of famous scholars are made macro-policies such as publishing the articles, referees selections, and the reviewing process. Astronomy and astrophysics journals have "elite" academic networks. Gender inequality exists among EBMs, and the majority of them are male. Accordingly, these journals are "men's journals."

The aim of this article is to reconstruct the history of how anniversaries of Francysk Skaryna’s life and work were commemorated in the Lithuanian academic environment. It looks for answers to questions of when these anniversaries began to be celebrated in Lithuania, which part of the academic community was involved in these activities, and how they have contributed to the dissemination of the knowledge of book studies. The author analysed scholarly events and anniversary publications dedicated to Francysk Skaryna by discussing the authors and the content of scholarly publishing results, as well as the organizers, topics, and participant geography of scholarly events. Collection of data from written sources, such as various bibliographic resources, official documents, memoirs, and informational articles published in periodicals in various historical periods, was aided by examining informational and scholarly publications de visu and applying other methods of historical research. The collected historical facts were studied in the context of Skaryna studies and the historiography of the Lithuanian book, evaluated from the viewpoint of scholarly communication and systematized by using the already-established periodization of Lithuanian book studies.

GREX-PLUS Science Team, :, Akio K. Inoue et al.

GREX-PLUS (Galaxy Reionization EXplorer and PLanetary Universe Spectrometer) is a mission candidate for a JAXA's strategic L-class mission to be launched in the 2030s. Its primary sciences are two-fold: galaxy formation and evolution and planetary system formation and evolution. The GREX-PLUS spacecraft will carry a 1.2 m primary mirror aperture telescope cooled down to 50 K. The two science instruments will be onboard: a wide-field camera in the 2-8 $μ$m wavelength band and a high resolution spectrometer with a wavelength resolution of 30,000 in the 10-18 $μ$m band. The GREX-PLUS wide-field camera aims to detect the first generation of galaxies at redshift $z>15$. The GREX-PLUS high resolution spectrometer aims to identify the location of the water ``snow line'' in proto-planetary disks. Both instruments will provide unique data sets for a broad range of scientific topics including galaxy mass assembly, origin of supermassive blackholes, infrared background radiation, molecular spectroscopy in the interstellar medium, transit spectroscopy for exoplanet atmosphere, planetary atmosphere in the Solar system, and so on.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the business models practiced by open access scientific journals in the area of Library and Information Science, indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). We did an exploratory study of the theme, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, and applying the documentary method. The data were collected in the DOAJ, retrieving the journals of Library and Information Science that are indexed in the filter "Bibliography. Library science. Information resources", followed by a visit to each journal's website to identify descriptive characteristics. Content analysis was used to evaluate and categorize the data collected. As a result, it was verified that most of the journals retrieved in the filter do not charge Article Processing Charges (APCs), and that of those that do, a considerable portion use the 'Publishing Rates' business model with discount policies and/or fee exemptions. It is concluded that this theme has different perspectives when considering the financial sustainability of a journal, with advantages and disadvantages, mainly regarding the authors of articles to be submitted in journals that use APCs.

O estudo averigua o empenho teórico do naturalista brasileiro Augusto Ruschi (1915-1986) diante a valorização planetária da ecologia para sustentabilidade das nações. Objetiva-se evidenciar os princípios e postulados de Ruschi que sustentam a complexidade dos encontros e parâmetros sobre patrimônio científico e memorial. Dessa forma, é importante demonstrar que o pensamento de Ruschi abre novos espaços de difusão da crítica e de dilemas próprios da linguagem científica. A metodologia envolve uma pesquisa bibliográfica e a análise de conteúdo. Consulta-se trechos da obra e depoimentos do naturalista para enfocar a questão do desenvolvimento, da inclusão social e da educação ambiental. Os resultados indicam um legado social, refletindo a visão progressista no entorno do bens naturais e culturais de valor juridicamente protegido, desde o solo, as águas, a flora, a fauna, as belezas naturais e artificiais, o patrimônio histórico, artístico, turístico, paisagístico, arquivístico, arquitetônico, monumental, espeleológico, arqueológico, fossilífero, geológico, urbanístico e etc. Diversas contribuições servem para se pensar o paradigma social da ciência da informação, fortalecendo e apoiando a abordagem informacional. Conclui-se que Augusto Ruschi foi visionário, edificando um legado, sobretudo, intelectual que avançou internacionalmente. As memórias de Ruschi são fonte inspiradora de políticas públicas, pesquisas e extensões universitárias que desdobram múltiplas potencialidades de exaltar o meio ambiente.

Software and in particular source code became an important component of scientific publications and henceforth is now subject of research data management.  Maintaining source code such that it remains a usable and a valuable scientific contribution is and remains a huge task. Not all code contributions can be actively maintained forever. Eventually, there will be a significant backlog of legacy source-code. In this article we analyse the requirements for applying the concept of long-term reusability to source code. We use simple case study to identify gaps and provide a technical infrastructure based on emulator to support automated builds of historic software in form of source code.

With the emerging needs of creating fairness-aware solutions for search and recommendation systems, a daunting challenge exists of evaluating such solutions. While many of the traditional information retrieval (IR) metrics can capture the relevance, diversity, and novelty for the utility with respect to users, they are not suitable for inferring whether the presented results are fair from the perspective of responsible information exposure. On the other hand, existing fairness metrics do not account for user utility or do not measure it adequately. To address this problem, we propose a new metric called FAIR. By unifying standard IR metrics and fairness measures into an integrated metric, this metric offers a new perspective for evaluating fairness-aware ranking results. Based on this metric, we developed an effective ranking algorithm that jointly optimized user utility and fairness. The experimental results showed that our FAIR metric could highlight results with good user utility and fair information exposure. We showed how FAIR related to a set of existing utility and fairness metrics and demonstrated the effectiveness of our FAIR-based algorithm. We believe our work opens up a new direction of pursuing a metric for evaluating and implementing the FAIR systems.

This study investigated the availability, accessibility, and use of electronic information resources among undergraduate students in Fountain University Library, Osogbo. Survey research design was deployed, while quantitative research method was adopted using questionnaire for data gathering. The population of the study was nine hundred and fourteen (914), where a sample size of two hundred and seventy-eight (278) was determined using Research Advisors Table. Questionnaire was administered on the sample size and the data gathered were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings discovered that eLibrary is available with functional twenty (20) All-in-One Computer Workstations. It was revealed that OPAC, EbiscoHost, Research4Life, ScienceDirect, and e-resources (textbooks and journals) on Nursing, Law, Medical Laboratory Science, and Public Health are available. Few e-resources for all other twelve programmes in the university are also available in the eLibrary. Findings discovered that, e-references, CD-ROM, e-bibliography and e-archives were not available. It was also discovered that the available electronic information resources, though, accessible, but were not sufficientfor adequate use by the respondents. Considerably, majority of the respondents have a positive perception of electronic information resources and services. The study recommended that there should be acquisition of more data bases in addition to those in use, as well as, subscription to more e-resources, especially books and journals, which will cut across all the twelve programmes in the university. This will improve patronage and satisfaction of the patrons in order to justify the huge amount invested in the project. the use of electronic information resources in the Fountain University Library. The findings revealed that e-journal, e-database, e-book and internet are utilized daily, weekly and occasionally than other e-resources. Result further showed a low usage of OPAC, e-dictionary and CD-ROM. Overall, the usage level of electronic information resources by undergraduate students can be rated average. Low use of CD-ROMs, OPAC and e-dictionary may as well be attributed to advancement in technology and proliferation of Internet access with the use of mobile phone, modem and router among library users. The finding corroborated with the findings of Ikoja-Odongo and Okello-Obura (2013) who recorded low number (11.6%) of the respondents in the used of CD-ROM.
