Hi Antony,
I am only a ICA volunteer and my only request was for open and transparent discussions on the community book project . I just do not understand what is the problem with that request? When I came to know that the book publisher etc was decided already without any open discussions or information on the criteria of selection etc, I had to inform GeoForAll colleagues as they all contributed to this SDG initiative in good faith and atleast deserve to be kept updated. I cannot keep silence on this as then I will be letting down the GeoForAll colleagues who contributed to this initiative in good faith. If you think, they don’t even deserve to be kept informed, it is very sad. GeoForAll is an open community and we encourage open discussions and ideas sharing on all all geo topics that has relevance.
ICA is my community also and I worked for 15 years volunteering for it and still doing. So I feel sad and disappointed to see the lack of transparency and conflicts of interest issues that we are seeing now . I am available for any help any time for any ICA colleagues. Just email me. I was met with hostility from the start when I asked for open and transparent discussions for this community book project. I do not know the background of this book project and I have no influence in any aspects of this project. I was just telling my opinion that as I understood it was a community book project, please allow for open and transparent discussions. I am happy to contact Menno-Jan on this again and request him to please consider allowing open and transparent discussions.
The Open Letter is for raising awareness of the importance of open and transparent decision making at all levels in any Scientific Association (it is not going to be focussed on ICA or SDG book) . Though this SDG book was the reason which made me think of this. It is not only affecting ICA. This problem can happen to another Scientific Organisation in the future. If they are aware of it, they will take steps and have strong frameworks for minimising “conflict of interest” . My concern was not with a specific issue but on the wider principle of open and transparent decision making in Scientific associations. Hence the lessons learnt can be summarised as an Open Letter (it is not going to focussed on ICA or SDG book) , so we all can learn and improve. Otherwise these mistakes will keep happening in the future.
Everyone makes mistakes and it takes courage to acknowledge and correct the mistakes .Compassion and forgiveness are important values . I have great respect to all ICA colleagues. We might have difference in opinions on some issues and having free and open discussions is in my humble opinion the best way to learn each others perspectives and find best solutions to move forward.
So let us not focus on past mistakes but look at ideas on how we can strengthen the open and transparent decision making process and frameworks for Scholarly publications of Scientific Associations in the future. Thank you for your kindness to listen to my concerns.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Suchith,
I don’t speak on behalf of ICA – you need to engage directly with ICA leadership (and not simply by broadcasting to a mailing list – that’s not how dialog works). I am also not comfortable with my name being wrapped into your open letter in this manner. You’re engaging in mostly a one-sided conversation here and using everything you can to create a story that fits what you believe. It’s strange and aggressive. Whether or not it’s your intention, you are coming across as angry and accusatory – it’s an approach that is almost guaranteed to result in others ignoring your arguments.
You are making a ton of assumptions about your influence over the ICA book project, it’s initial intentions, etc… You need Menno-Jan and others in ICA leadership to provide input, if they choose to do so (and they may very well not choose to do so). In my view you are trying hard to craft an enemy that you can knock down, and I can’t for the life of me understand why your target is a community of cartographers. You have waited over a year for information that you were never promised in the first place – ICA did not make an agreement with you to do everything you want of them. You can be upset about how ICA is governed, but it’s bizarre to claim that ICA owes you anything.
You’re welcome to your opinion, but I wonder if everyone who has signed up to be a Geo4All lab shares your enthusiasm for this effort at this time. Has Geo4All finished everything else it might be doing right now to advance spatial education around the world?

Thank you Christian for your inputs and offer of help in articulate this issue. Greatly appreciated.
I think it is an unintentional mistake and I am very grateful that ICA colleagues have listened to my concerns. Though I don’t know any details, I understand from Anthony’s mail last week that ICA is not proceeding with vendor GIS press for this publication. I hope ICA will have open and transparent discussions based on clear policy frameworks in selecting whichever new book publisher and have clear guidelines in the future.
It is the duty of the Scientific Organisations to have clear policies and guidelines on selecting publishers , have open and transparent decision making , ensure free and open discussions with the community etc. If so, this clear conflict of interest issue would not have happened in the first place. My concern is with the lack of openness in decision making process of selecting publishers for book projects etc. I have waited over an year to get even any small information on this .
I think it is important to give more time to get more ideas/inputs from the community on how we can rectify this problem for the future. I have put three suggestions . There may be more ideas. So you and other colleagues are welcome to bring more ideas/inputs.
Feel free to create a shared document with your text/inputs . We can aim to give three months (Oct 2018) to help refine ideas , get inputs from all on what are the best practices for all Scientific associations to help us draft the Open Letter. We need to learn from this and not keep repeating these mistakes in the future. Hence these open discussions are aimed at learning and sharing ideas for good practices for all Scientific associations /Organisations in the future.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Dear Suchith,
I agree with you on the matter, that publishing a book in context of United Nations initiative by esri is bad. I would also support to offiicialy articulate this somehow.
But the case you address was solved. As I understand, esri is no longer considered as the publisher for the book?
I also think, that there might be a big conflict of interest, if esri publishes a UN SDG book. But intil that is proven by some wrong doing from esri during the editing and publication process, we are talking not about facts. And as far as I know they didn't published an UN related book yet? Maybe ICA and Prof. Kraak understood this problem, after you raised your concerns about this issue last year. So, thank you very much for your caring about this issue a year ago, and as it seems you already won the battle!
What I see now, is at most a policy issue within ICA, that they may need to open up the process for deciding for a publisher of a book project, but I am not even sure about that, because they seem to have already a policy for that case in place?
Best regards,
Christian

Dear Christian,
Thank you for you mail and inputs. This letter is draft and I welcome inputs from you and everyone to refine it. I fully agree with you that we just need more transparency in science and also in the whole process of editing/reviewing and publishing a book.
I am happy to make the edits/changes needed that you suggested and I will request your help on this. I have provided all information that I have on this book project that I am aware of. I just do not know the details (what was the process of selecting the publisher, criteria etc). If you are able to get details on this and share with the community, it will be very helpful. I did my best to get more information on the publisher decision process etc . For some strange reason, there was no openness in the whole process which is the main concern. So if there is no openness and transparency even in this then how do you think we can expect transparency in editing/reviewing process. I respectfully disagree with you that any GIS vendor if they are also running their publication press, then they have no conflict of interest.
It is the duty of scientific association to ensure there is transparency in science. Even ICA’s publication policy for conference proceedings does not mention any GIS vendor press . Why? Please see
https://icaci.org/ica-publications-and-publication-policy-first-publication-volume-is-online/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ficaci.org%2Fica-publications-and-publication-policy-first-publication-volume-is-online%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cacr181%40psu.edu%7C45f2db39bdb6473f805108d5f211f12c%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C636681081241699220&sdata=7ntVumIRHiQ%2Fqt1fzmqlKTFf%2BL3xd3%2FmF7ZtXCSyu6s%3D&reserved=0>
All scholarly publications (edited books, journals, conference proceedings) should follow similar guidelines. So I am very confused why and how a GIS vendor press was planned for this community book project.
I highlighted the global problem of increase in low quality submissions and it is not an ICA problem or any Vendor problem or any single organisation problem. Hence it is important that we are all very vigilant and take steps to protect the integrity of independent peer review frameworks for Scholarly publications of Scientific Associations. If any Scientific Associations themselves are not open and transparent in their decision making, then how can they ensure independent peer review frameworks for Scholarly publications!
I want to make it clear that I am not an author or coauthor on any articles submitted to this book project. So I do not have any personal conflict of interest in this. GeoForAll colleagues contributed for this book project in good faith. I did work to get GeoForAll colleagues to support and contribute for this book project. So I have a moral responsibility to make sure they are provided as much information and updates on this. I have no issue if the GIS vendor publication press for this community book was selected by an open, transparent process.
I want us to look at the future not focus on mistakes made in past . Some mistakes have been made and I understand that this is corrected. We are all human , so we all make mistakes So let us not focus on past mistakes but look at ideas on how we can strengthen the independent peer review frameworks for Scholarly publications of Scientific Associations in the future.
I have worked with many properitary GIS vendors and I have great respect for all of them and always welcomed them. I have raised my concern with some open source vendors also if I find any thing that undermines openness. I am the view that both open and properitary systems have an important place and need to work together . We are all part of a big ecosystem all working for Geo. I believe in open discussions to help find better understanding. For me, Openness means being open to different perspectives ,ideas, viewpoints, cultures and learning and improving to be a better human every day...
Best wishes,
Suchith

Dear Suchith,
I understand your point, and I also support your views on this, but this is from my perspective a too personal/particular issue, as to have it as an "OSGeo open letter". Also, because this is more of an ICA and not so much an OSGeo issue, I think.
First, I would keep it more general. You address a particular issue (UN SDG book published by esri), and also some personal background (this should not matter to the addressed subject). I would recommend you keep it from being personal and denouncing proprietary GIS vendors. If a company plays by the rules of science, there is nothing wrong about that company publishing a scientific book. I.e. almost all book publishers are commercial companies with interests somehow and somewhere.
You need to “attack” scientific “wrong doing” by that particular company in conducting the editing and publication of that book. Publishing books if done correctly is not wrong, even by a vendor with vested interests. But if you witness, for example, that submissions using open source GIS solutions are disadvantaged against the submissions using products of the proprietary GIS vendor publishing the book, that would be the point to raise and attack.
Second, better write about how it should be done to avoid this negative “Fake Science” things from happening. Here the idea of Open Science and Reproducible Science is key, i.e. the most openness and transparency possible. We just need more transparency in science and also in the whole process of editing/reviewing and publishing a book. And this is where OSGeo can contribute. Basically, real reproducible and open science is not possible without open source software. If you can’t see how something is implemented, you can not really reproduce the results.
Third, if you accuse someone of “Fake Science” please make sure to offer evidence about this particular misconduct. If you fail to do so, you are creating “fake news” yourself. Sorry, no offense at you personally, but I think its not a good idea to publish this letter in OSGeo's or GeoForAll's name. At least not with these accusations or even notion of "Fake Science" in it.
To be clear, I share your view that it is bad, if esri would publish a book written by scientists in the context of a United Nations initiative to maybe only advertise its own product, but until any misconduct is proven, you can't accuse esri or ICA of "Fake Science".
Best regards,
Christian

Dear colleagues,
I have prepared a draft letter with my ideas/suggestions .I am just a volunteer and I feel sad that that I have to raise this issue through an open letter. But if I remain silent on this , I will be indirectly supporting the degrading of independent peer review frameworks for Scholarly publications of Scientific Associations.
It is the fundamental duty of all Officers of Scientific Associations/Organisations to always take steps to guard and protect independent peer review frameworks for Scholarly publications of Scientific Associations. I am hopeful and confident that that they all will do this for the future.
I am not a native English speaker, so please help refine this letter correctly. I want us to look at the future not focus on mistakes made in past . Some mistakes have been made and I understand that this is corrected. We are all human , so we all make mistakes . So let us not focus on past mistakes but look at ideas on how we can strengthen the independent peer review frameworks for Scholarly publications of Scientific Associations in the future.
The International Cartographic Association (ICA) is my organisation for which I have volunteered for the last 15 years and continuing . I have great respect for everyone in this great global community . The SDG book is a community effort (not any individual’s book project) . I have requested from the start (as soon as I came to know) for openness and transparency in decision making for selecting the publisher. esp. as this book is on UN SDG . I understand that ICA has now corrected the mistake . Everyone makes mistakes and it takes courage to acknowledge and correct the mistakes .Compassion and forgiveness are important values . I am very grateful that ICA has listened to my concerns and rectified this . So I don’t have any issues with ICA or any colleagues in ICA. We might have difference in opinions on some issues and having free and open discussions is in my humble opinion the best way to learn each others perspectives and find best solutions to move forward.
Please send any updates/modifications needed to the draft by 30th July 2018. I am on family holidays ( with no internet ) in first week of August, so I will aim to send this before I go on holidays.
===========================================
Draft of Open Letter on the importance to protecting independent peer review frameworks for Scholarly publications of Scientific Associations
Scholarly publications (edited books, journals etc) from scientific associations/organisations has credibility and reputation because of strong independent peer review frameworks . We are very fortunate in the Geospatial domain to have many reputed Scientific Associations and organisations (ICA, IGU, ISPRS, IEEE-GRSS, IAG etc) who have over many decades provided strong leadership in advancement of geo science.
In times of fake news, science is usually one of those areas that can give us orientation and we can rely on. Independent peer review frameworks for Scholarly publications is among the foundations of good science. However, this is obviously at risk now. If a professional association takes agrees to publish scholarly publications (edited books etc) through a GIS vendor’s press then there is potential issues with independent peer review and ensuring scientific quality. It is only natural that any GIS vendor publication press to have vested interests in promoting their products and agenda. It also makes it easy for the vendor to get endorsement for their products from scientific and professional organisations using this route. Independent peer review is the fundamental aspect of science and we need to ensure all steps to protect this.
We are also now seeing a very disturbing trend with some vendors even starting to trademark “ science” for marketing/sales of their products and “science” is being misused for vendor marketing/sales! . I have raised this issue through an open letter [1] . Science is not a commodity to be marketed or sold by any vendor owners! I am very sad and disappointed to see this degrading of science happening. Scientific organisations should not endorse any specific vendor products etc as “Science” and take strong moral stand against marketing of products as “Science’ by any vendor owners!
I am a volunteer for the ICA for the last 15 years and always done my best in my small way to support ICA . Around one year back, in the light of the International Map Year (IMY)<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmapyear.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cacr181%40psu.edu%7C45f2db39bdb6473f805108d5f211f12c%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C636681081241699220&sdata=pjOz2tJ6ubCbvrwm53HssiPSGZCn%2F9xlYwmmwWbywCY%3D&reserved=0>, the The International Cartographic Association (ICA) started an excellent initiative for highlighting the value of cartography by “mapping” the UN sustainable development goals<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsustainabledevelopment.un.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cacr181%40psu.edu%7C45f2db39bdb6473f805108d5f211f12c%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C636681081241699220&sdata=lbebPjtrQVZ9t2K1ebckqd7rQiIsSS%2BzdblsLRYdlyc%3D&reserved=0>. Building upon this, The ICA community started work on a book on UN SDG Mapping building upon the posters of the various commissions on this [2]. This is a great community initiative developed with inputs from all colleagues in commissions of the ICA. The Open Source Geospatial Commission colleagues also contributed our inputs for this. When the book project was announced, I did my best to contact colleagues to contribute to this in good faith. I didn’t have the faintest idea that it was being planned to be published through a properitary GIS vendor publication press! As soon as I came to know about this, I did contact Menno -Jan with my concerns and requested him that as this is a community book project to please allow open discussions and keep the community updated [3] . I was very surprised that there was no open and transparent discussions on selecting the book publisher was done.
>From an email from Anthony Robinson on 16th July 2018, I understand now that ICA is not proceeding with the vendor GIS publication press (Esri press) for the SDG book and I welcome this. But it is important we need to be learn lessons from this mistake and not repeat this in future. We are all humans and make mistakes.
I fully respect the right of individuals publishing their personal work [1] in any publication house that they wish. But as officers of Scientific Organisations, esp. in times of some vendor owners doing marketing/sales on “Science” , I request all colleagues to be careful not to do anything that will undermine independent peer review process.
I am suggesting some initial ideas that we all can take as a community to help reduce this problem in the future
* All Scientific Associations and organisations should ensure that there is full open and transparent discussions allowed before choosing any publishers of scholarly publications (Edited Books etc).
* It is important that GIS scientific associations/organisations take strong moral stand against taking sponsorship/royalty etc for scholarly publications from all GIS vendors . Independent peer review system is the fundamental aspect of science. So I am humbly requesting all Scientific organisations to not use any GIS vendor controlled press for publishing scholarly outputs (edited books etc). GIS scientific organisations should not take any sponsorship or royalty for scholarly publications (books, journals etc) from any GIS vendors . If a scientific association takes agrees to publish scholarly publications (edited books etc) through the vendor’s press then there is potential issues with independent peer review and ensuring scientific quality. It is only natural that any GIS vendor publication press to have vested interests in promoting their products and agenda. It also makes it easy for the vendor to get endorsement for their products from scientific and professional organisations using this route. Independent peer review is the fundamental aspect of science and we need to ensure all steps to protect this.
* Officers of Scientific Organisations and Editors of all GIS journals declare any conflict of interest with any vendors (funding/sponsorship/royalties etc received from any GIS vendors currently or in the past) to ensure transparency and good practices.They should not support any vendors interest directly or indirectly. Scientific organisations should not endorse any specific vendor products etc as “Science” and take strong moral stand against marketing of products as “Science’ by any vendor owners!
I am concerned with the wider degradation of science and education happening in different sectors. This is a moral issue and needs all organisations globally in science and education working together.
It is the fundamental duty of all Officers of Scientific Organisations to guard and protect independent peer review frameworks for Scholarly publications of Scientific Associations. I am hopeful and confident that that they will do this for the future.
Best wishes,
Suchith
