© 2025 The Author(s). Published by IOP Publishing Ltd.The article provides a synthesis of the literature on the peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading paradigm. P2P energy trading is a prosumer business model and a transformative concept that allows prosumers to sell surplus generation to other prosumers and consumers within an energy community or microgrid. P2P energy trading is a novel concept to promote decentralization, decarbonization, democratization, digitalization, and enhancing energy resilience of the energy sector. The article covers different facets of P2P energy trading, including market designs, changing actor roles, pricing mechanisms, enabling technologies, and challenges. The article thus addresses emerging and complementary aspects not covered in prior literature reviews. As such, three market designs are discussed: centralized, decentralized, and distributed, and four pricing mechanisms, which are optimization, game theory, auction-based, and reinforcement learning. Enabling technologies discussed are Energy Internet, Internet of Things, Artificial intelligence, Blockchain, Communication networks, and battery flexibility. The paper discusses the challenges that the development and commercialization of the P2P energy trading faces—especially focusing on the social ontology of the concept—and provides research directions to amplify the scaling up of the technology

Towards a sustainable future : a global empirical analysis on the diffusion & innovation of carbon pricing policies
No full textThere are currently 43 countries which have adopted some kind of carbon pricing policy – either adopted a carbon tax or entered a cap–and–trade, while the remaining countries have not. This has created significant diversity in the world with regard to climate change mitigation. There is thus a need to examine how carbon pricing policies diffuse cross–nationally in order to carve the path forward for climate change mitigation and compel other countries to adopt a carbon pricing policy. Present studies have focused mostly on the internal political and socio–economic factors that compel policymakers to adopt a policy, but in this study, a “unified” model is built combining both internal and external factors (how one countries adoption of a carbon pricing policy affects another) to examine how carbon pricing policy diffused over years and what these factors in the “unified” model influence the adoption of these policies. An Event History Analysis was used by using data for 127 countries running from 1990–2019. The findings show that the carbon pricing policies diffuse through learning from neighboring countries and through the process of imitation. With a split sample analysis to account for policy heterogeneity, it was seen that both the carbon tax and the cap–and–trade system diffuse through the learning mechanism, however for the cap–and–trade, the policy can also diffuse through coercion and normative pressure if countries are part of EU. It was also found from the regressions that adoption of the carbon pricing policy by a country is motivated by a democratic political regime and to a small degree from the level of coal production in the country. There is an inverse relationship between probability of carbon pricing policy adoption and renewable energy share. Also, it was found that signatories of the Kyoto Protocol do not increase the likelihood of adopting a carbon pricing policy
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
