Geospatial assessment of future floating offshore wind challenges: UK case study exploring drag anchor suitability and requirements
No full textThe majority of the UK’s future offshore wind (OW) will be located in deeper water (>60m) where the turbines will be on floating platforms, secured by mooring systems. The UK’s government’s net zero targets and energy security strategy require rapid deployment of new offshore wind capacity, at approximately ten times the rate of the past 5 years. This rapid growth, alongside the change to floating wind, presents many challenges, including the need for a new supply chain. This paper reports a geospatial analysis that explores the distribution of future offshore wind development around the UK sea regions and examines the implications for the mooring system market and supply chain. This analysis illustrates how geospatial analysis can be used to apply aspects of offshore wind design at a regional scale, providing associated market and supply chain forecasts, as well as the needs for research and the opportunities for innovation. This analysis focusses on the installation suitability and concept-level sizing of a common anchor type – the drag embedment anchor – across the UK sea regions. This methodology leads to an estimate of the number and weight of drag anchors and the length and weight of mooring chain needed for the offshore wind growth in each UK region for net zero. This analysis indicates the required major supply chain growth, which could present a bottleneck to meeting net zero

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

Continental connections: concluding discussion
No full textIt is all too easy to fall into established tropes when considering the changing nature of continental connections – to discuss ‘isolated islands’ or ‘hyper connected seaways’. Part of the trouble lies in the fact that, as with many other clichés, each of these extremes has proven to be true at different points in time: from the impact of changing palaeogeography on hominin habitation patterns in the Palaeolithic, through to more recent movement of goods and people across seaways. As such, the papers in this volume have made clear the need for a more subtle appreciation of movement, communication and interaction than stereotypical presumptions permit. This re-evaluation requires a careful consideration both of how we determine connectivity from archaeological remains and, just as significantly, of how we frame the topic and orientate ourselves in relation to i
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
