Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Modelling of Relaxation Phenomena in Transformer Oil-Paper-Pressboard Insulation to determine the Dielectric Response Behaviour under DC and Impulse voltages
No full textThe factory acceptance tests are extremely important for the deployment and service life of Extra-high voltage transformers (EHV) and reactors. An essential part of such tests is Lightning Impulse (LI) tests which are intended to ensure that the transformer insulation withstands the transient lightning overvoltages which may occur while in service. These tests are usually done with negative polarity to prevent air side flashovers. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for additional positive polarity lightning impulse tests to secure the reliability and life of the transformers. The transformer, during its service life, is subjected to massive electrical stresses due to lightning strikes and switching impulses. As a consequence, this may lead to the degradation of the transformer insulation. During lightning impulse tests, ionisations might occur in the pressboard/insulating liquid insulation system, which would lead to the development of space charges. The space charges generated may have an influence on the withstand behaviour of the insulation corresponding to applied impulse voltage. There is also a possibility of field enhancements due to the effect of space charge, especially when tested consecutively with opposite polarity. During the acceptance tests on transformers at SGB-SMIT transformers, a waiting period of one hour is given between the negative polarity LI and positive polarity LI. This arbitrary waiting time is given under the assumption that this will allow any ’trapped’ charges to decay and provide relaxation time for the slower polarisation processes. So the main question is whether this waiting period allows sufficient time for the decay of charges in the transformer insulation. For this analysis, the relaxation time characteristics of the transformer insulation system were investigated by estimation of the time dependency of depolarisation currents in the oil, paper/pressboard insulation. In this thesis, the characteristic of the time-domain dielectric response and the time dependency of the currents due to depolarisation of charges under DC and impulse voltage was investigated by the polarisation-depolarisation current (PDC) measurements on the test samples. The PDC method is a non-destructive diagnostic method for evaluating transformer insulation in the time domain. A test set up was built to represent a simplified model of transformer insulation comprising of mineral oil, paper and pressboard. The measurements of discharge voltage over time were conducted on the test samples of oil, paper and pressboard to understand the time-dependency of polarisation-depolarisation processes occurring within the transformer insulation. Two dominant time constants of decay were estimated for oil, paper and pressboard samples. The results from the discharge voltage measurement were compared with the analytical solution of the output voltage of the equivalent R-C circuit of the test sample which revealed that there were more than two polarisation phenomena occurring within the composite test sample of oil, paper and pressboard. Later, to mitigate the inconsistencies with the simplified R-C model, it was extended and modified based on the linear dielectric response theory to study the dielectric response behaviour of transformer insulation under DC voltage for longer charging times (tc=10,000 seconds). The modified R-C model was envisioned and developed in PSPICE simulation environment. The model incorporates the effect of the individual polarisation processes occurring within the constituent dielectrics of transformer oil-paper-pressboard insulation. The dielectric properties like conductivity and dielectric response function f (t ) can be estimated reasonably accurately with this modified R-C model. A comparison of the maximum and minimum values of the polarisation currents of the composite test sample obtained from the simulated model and from dielectric testing was conducted. The results demonstrated that relative errors were limited to a maximum of 8 %. The time-domain polarisation and depolarisation behaviour of composite transformer insulation was analysed under DC and impulse voltages from simulations of PDC measurements using PSPICE simulation software. It was observed that for the same thickness of solid insulation, as the oil-gap increases, the magnitude of the depolarisation current at the end of the discharging period (10,000 seconds) also increases. For identical oil-gaps, as the thickness of the pressboard in the composite test sample of oil-paper-pressboard was increased, the depolarisation currents show a delayed response to decay to a minimum value at the end of discharging duration. The time dependency of depolarisation currents at the end of discharging time of one hour was realised for impulse voltages. The study of the depolarisation currents under the influence of impulse voltage revealed that the charge induced field at the end of the discharging period of one hour does not exceed the permissible threshold electric field of 2 kV/mm inside the transformer insulation. In the future, the model could be developed into a valuable diagnostic tool for studying the dielectric responses of complex transformer insulation under the influence of different parameters like moisture content, ageing products, geometrical configuration and temperature

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
