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
Finding the Optimal Value for Threshold Cryptography on Cloud Computing
No full text<p>The objective of using threshold cryptography on cloud environment is to protect the keys, which are the most important elements in cryptographic systems. Threshold cryptography works by dividing the private key to a number of shares, according to the number of virtual machines, then distributing them each share to each virtual machine. In order to generate the key back, not all the shares are needed. Howerver, the problem is that there has been no research attemping to find a suitable threshold value for key reconstruction. Therefore, this paper presented a guildline designed and implemented that can assist to choose such value. The experiment was setup using CloudSim to simulate cloud environment and collecting time taken in key distribution and key reconstruction process to achieve the optimal threshold value.</p></jats:p
