University of Southampton Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report: 2021-2022: Technical Report
No full textThis report summarises trends in the University’s Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions up to and including academic year 2021-22. It also includes estimates of other emissions that the University chooses to report but which are not formally included in the Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.Overall, the University’s Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions were estimated to be 140.3 kT CO2e in 2021-22 with an additional 30.3 kT CO2e under ‘Other’ reporting. Total emissions under Scope 1-3 increased by 12% from 2018-19 to 2021-22 due largely to increases in Scope 1: Stationary Combustion (gas use) and Scope 3 Purchased Goods and Services. This was partly balanced by decreases in Scope 2: Purchased Electricity, Scope 3: Business Travel and Scope 3: Staff Commuting emissions
University of Southampton Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report: 2020-2021: Technical Report
No full textThis report summarises trends in the University’s Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions up to and including academic year 2020-21. It also includes estimates of other emissions that the University chooses to report but which are not formally included in the Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.The University’s Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions were estimated to be 115.4 kT CO2e in 2020-21 with an additional ‘induced’ 12.7 kT CO2e emissions under additional reporting. Total emissions under Scope 1-3 reduced by 8% from 2018-19 to 2020-21 largely due to reductions in emissions from Scope 2 Purchased Electricity and COVID-19 affected Scope 3 Business Travel
University of Southampton annual sustainability report: 2024-25
No full textThe University of Southampton's (UoS) vision is that by 2030, sustainability will be a part of everything the University does; our individual behaviours, how we work together, and how we make decisions for the future. This is key to achieving our mission of changing the world for the better. The Sustainability Strategic Plan (SSP) is one of ten Strategic Plans created to underpin and drive forward the overall University Strategy. The SSP was developed to deliver on its sustainability targets and sets out six Goals to achieve these targets as highlighted in Figure 1. The six Goals do not only address reducing our emissions, but also cover embedding sustainability in our teaching, research and investment .This is the second annual report on the development of the University of Southampton's Sustainability Strategic Plan and progress against its 6 Goals for the years 2024-25. The report provides a summary of the planned work across the 6 Goals, whereby the first three relate to our institutional emissions reporting under the various scopes of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Protocol. The latter 3 Goals of the Plan cover education, research, and investment

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
