Indexes - Science topic

Firms' Global Value Chain (GVC) position can be measured through indicators such as value-added contribution, international trade participation, foreign direct investment flows, and supply chain network analysis.

Please elaborate your problem in detail.

What is your topic to assess?

5 experts don't seem sufficient

Peak overlapping is not the only cause of peak broadening. Please consider also other effects like, for instance, incomplete charge collection in your detector. The peak shape has been extensively studied and there are many articles in literature. The detail to study the peak shape depends much on your detector intrinsic resolution. I can suggest two articles of mine and the citations inside: "Understanding the X-ray emission spectrum after excitation with a source of X-rays: From theory to experiment. DOI: 10.1016/j.radphyschem.2024.111648" and "A modeling tool for detector resolution and incomplete charge collection: A modeling tool for detector resolution. DOI: 10.1002/xrs.2597".

I was looking for a similar code, finally, I found out how to do it using SPEI package guide in R. After extracting precipitation and PET in your grid cells, first, you need to prepare your CWB (climatic water balance) matrix which is calculated by subtracting precipitation by PET in each grid cell (Precipitation - PET). CWB matrix should have a column for each grid cell and rows containing corresponding dates. I have attached screenshots of precipitation CWB. Also, keep in mind that your CWB should be NA-freeUsing. USinng the below code you can simply calculate SPEI at various time scales.

library(raster)

library(terra)

library(dplyr)

library(SPEI)

library(ggplot2)

setwd("")

sts <- read.csv("centerlatlon.csv")

PET <- raster::brick("pet.nc", varname="Ep")

pet_data <- raster::extract(PET, cbind(x=sts$X, y=sts$Y))

pet_df <- t(pet_data)

#write.csv(pet_df, "PET.csv")

precipitation=raster::brick("precipitation.nc", varname="precipitation")

precipitation_data=raster::extract(precipitation,cbind(x=sts$X, y=sts$Y))

precipitation_df=t(precipitation_data)

# write.csv(precipitation_df, "precipitation.csv")

cwb_df <- precipitation_df - pet_df

cwb_df <- as.data.frame(cwb_df)

# to fill NA values in CWB, Iterate through each row of the matrix

for (i in 1:nrow(cwb_df)) {

# Iterate through each column, starting from the second to the second last

for (j in 2:(ncol(cwb_df) - 1)) {

# Check if the current cell is NA

if (is.na(cwb_df[i, j])) {

# Initialize an empty vector to hold non-NA adjacent values

adjacent_values <- numeric(0)

# Add the previous column's value if it's not NA

if (!is.na(cwb_df[i, j - 1])) {

adjacent_values <- c(adjacent_values, cwb_df[i, j - 1])

}

# Add the next column's value if it's not NA

if (!is.na(cwb_df[i, j + 1])) {

adjacent_values <- c(adjacent_values, cwb_df[i, j + 1])

}

# If there are any non-NA adjacent values, calculate the mean and replace the NA

if (length(adjacent_values) > 0) {

cwb_df[i, j] <- mean(adjacent_values)

}

}

}

}

cwb_df <- as.matrix(cwb_df)

# Calculate SPEI for a 12-month scale

spei_results <- spei(cwb_df, 12)

#plot(spei_results)

spei_values <- spei_results$fitted

spei_df <- as.data.frame(spei_values)

HELLO KORRA

You can use software like CompuSyn or Calcusyn, which are specifically designed for pharmacological and biological analysis.

Both, HPX-87H column and RI detector should be suitable for separation and detection of organic acids. However, I don't know either, if something is missing in method as I don't know your method. If you could provide some more information like solvent composition, standard concentrations, maybe a chromatogram, that'd be helpful.

until now, I have 3

You can use econometric methods such as regression analysis, Vector Autoregression (VAR), or Granger causality tests to analyze how macroeconomic variables affect REIT index returns.

Dear Wolfgang,

What made you answer to my complain? Do you really think your constatation of fact (" The Hirsch index is calculated automatically from the identified citations, and these identifications are also made automatically) is necessary? It is look like a teacher give a lesson to a bad egg student. Exactly this your so called "authomatic" calculation was made with broken calculator. Hello, my complain is addressed to replace this obviously broken calculator. Either or it need to take off option of "Stats" ( for reason of accuracy) or make it accurate. Don't you get it? Is there any logic in your thought? You're making fool of yourself - not helping.

I found this paper reltively insightful regarding drought tolerance in trees.

Hope it may be of some help to you

@ Umasha, the attached file may be useful to you.

Yes, there are many, in different fields

R M C S Ratnayake Thank you very much sir. It will help me a lot.

Dear Rajesh SIVAKUMAR Sivakumar

Firstly - congratulations on getting your paper published in a Scopus-indexed journal!))) A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is indeed essential for your paper. It is a unique alphanumeric string assigned to a digital object, such as an academic article, and serves as a permanent link to that object on the internet. DOIs make it easier for readers to find and cite your work, and they also ensure that your paper remains accessible and citable over time.

In terms of when you'll receive the DOI for your paper, it typically depends on the publishing process of the journal. Some journals assign DOIs shortly after a paper is accepted and goes through the final stages of production, while others may assign DOIs upon publication or shortly thereafter. It's best to check with the editorial office or the publisher of the journal for specific information about when you can expect to receive the DOI for your paper.

If your paper has already been published and you haven't received the DOI yet, I recommend reaching out to the editorial office or the publisher to inquire about the status of the DOI assignment. They should be able to provide you with more information and assistance.

Once you have the DOI for your paper, be sure to include it in your publication details, such as in the header or footer of your paper, so that readers can easily find and cite your work.

Sincerely

I've developed a program that addresses this problem using Python through transforming the condition of non-incidence to a number-theoretical problem. For example, if we're given an edge set of the graph: $E(G) = \{(1, 2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5), (5,1)\}$. I simply defined a condition that it checks for the edges with no common vertex and through BSA from the independent edge-set of size one, so on and so forth.

For example: {(2,3)} is an independent singleton. The program then checks for any other edge in the edge set that contains neither 2 or 3 e.g. (4,5). Now it checks for another larger independent edge set. That is whether there is an edge that does not contain (2,3,4,5). The program will do this for every edge singleton. Some results involving the Hosoya index coincide with the results of my program.

Most probably the reason is that only "Reads" by ResearchGate members are used to calculate the Research Interest Score. See https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293473316753-Research-Interest-Score for more information.

The filling velocity of underfilled serum and heparin tubes has a significant impact on lactate dehydrogenase (LD) levels and the hemolysis index. Studies show that underfilling blood collection tubes results in higher LD activity and increased hemolysis index when compared to fully filled tubes. According to Neuwinger et al. (2019), increasing LD levels and the hemolysis index is largely dependent on the filling velocity of underfilled tubes. In particular, the filling velocity of the first half of the blood volume is much greater than that of the second half, suggesting that different filling velocities are responsible for the elevated hemolysis index and LD levels in underfilled tubes.

A cooperation between you and ResearchGate is needed, see https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/sections/14292301411217-Publishers.

Yes, from processing baseline 04.00, Sentinel-2 images are distributed with scale and offset (from https://sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel/technical-guides/sentinel-2-msi/processing-baseline):

L1C_TOAi = (L1C_DNi + RADIO_ADD_OFFSETi) / QUANTIFICATION_VALUEi

Offset is defined in metadata (check .XML file). In order to compute NDVI, you must convert to TOA first.

This applied to scenes from Jan 25, 2022.

Hello Kim L. Fridkin. It's good to hear that you figured it out. However, someone else who has the same question might find this thread some day and wish that you had explained how you figured it out. Does Jürgen Maier's post show the solution you arrived at? If so, please confirm. If not, please show how you figured it out. Thanks.

A cooperation between the publisher and ResearchGate is needed. See my replies to this related question: https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_the_publishers_join_in_Research_Gate

Thank you. You helped a lot.

hi, there is a journal may be suitable. Totally free, papers can be indexed in google.

Yes you are absolutely right but some students donot know about the right indexing journals

Dear Ossama

If you use the observed data 2006-2019 the overlap period is not enough. To do the bias correction the overlap period is more than 80%. Therefore, the historical and observed data will be sufficient to get the correct. If you use 100% overlap period I am sure you get the perfect extracted data.

Same question！It would confuse us。

Visit this site,

Choosing between the traditional UHI index classification and the alternative classification (<0, 0-0.05, 0.05-0.10, 0.10-0.15, 0.15-0.20, >0.20) for studying the urban heat island effect in a tropical region depends on factors such as data resolution, local climate, research objectives, and the need for comparative analysis. Higher resolution data and focusing on nuanced temperature variations may favor the traditional classification. At the same time, broader patterns of UHI across more significant regions might be better captured by the alternative classification with wider intervals. Considering the study area's specific research goals and characteristics is crucial in selecting the most suitable classification scheme to provide meaningful insights into the UHI phenomenon.

Hello Hiram; Here is a reference that provides a clear explanation of community similarity indices. It might help you.

Brower, Zar and von Ende. Field and laboratory methods for general ecology. McGraw Hill. Publ. Section 5C in the edition I'm looking at is the part that covers this topic. Good luck with the project.

My first reaction is that the two sites are VERY similar...maybe they are the same community. Or, is your sample size large enough?

Best regards, Jim Des Lauriers

You might start by taking a look at the work that was done to develop the World Health Organization's WHOQual index. Their goal was to generate a scale that could be used on world wide basis to measure quality of life (not just health-related items).

Note that I am not say you should use the WHOQual, just that there is a well-documented history for the development of that particular scale.

It all depends on what you want to express. It could be as simple as the number of species; it could be a comparison on the shared species (Qualitative, Jaccard or Sorensen Indexes) or the abundance of the species detected in each site (Quantitative, Morisita-Horn), or Hill numbers for example.

In other words, kit depends on the research question or the purpose of your quest.

It's ok. You can send a message to me on Whatsapp+2347035044420

Senthilraja N. If you work in R my first impression would be to go for the poisson model. This can be to restrictive if overdisperions becomes an issue switching to a negative binomial might relieve some of the restrictions that apply to the poisson model. I would suggest to read up on count-models and the link function (e.g., https://environmentalcomputing.net/statistics/glms/glm-2/) and the emmeans function (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/emmeans/vignettes/comparisons.html) . In the code below a very rudimentary code.

library(parameters)

library(see)

library(tidyr)

library(lsmeans)

library(DHARMa)

#Create example data.frame

set.seed(123)

df <- lapply(c(2, 10,20,30), function(x) rpois(10, x))

names(df) <- paste("plant",c(1:4))

df <- do.call(cbind.data.frame, df)

df <- gather(df, "plant species", "insect number")

#Fit the poisson model, and display a summary of the results.

#Summarize the results note that it is under the identity link for simplicity

#The `natural` link is the log link. But this model is likely sufficient.

model <- glm(`insect number`~`plant species`, data = df, family = poisson(link = "identity"))

#Check the residuals for the model if the data shows an acceptable fit to

#the assumptions of the model

DHARMa::plotQQunif(model)

#plot the estimated means per plant species

means <- emmeans(model, specs="plant species")

plot(means)

#plot the differences between the groups

plants <- emmeans(model, "plant species")

print(diff <- pairs(plants))

plot(diff)

Best,

The distribution of H is be asymptotically normal, but under a large range of typical conditions it is far from being reasonably close to a normal distribution. Therefor it is typically not advisable to rely on the normal approximation. A nice simulation example is shown be Wolfgang Huber here:

what about the scientific content of such papers?

Genick Bar-Meir Thank you for your reply.

So, for example, if a professor or evaluation committee wants to review my resume and application for a PhD position, might they also look at my Research Interest Score status?

Dear Teguh Hady Ariwibowo I would not doubt. They are as indicated not only indexed in Clarivate's ESCI but also (for many years) indexed in Scopus https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/20000195025

When it comes to your observation about their (somewhat basic) submission system this is simply because the journal does not charge you any fee as author and consequently they have to run a 'low budget' operation.

I think this is definitely a safe choice.

Best regards.

Yes, they can be indexed.

Dear Ashok R Banagar ,

It all depends on whether the journal already send the (meta)data of papers published in 2024 or not. See for example:

Etc.

Best regards.

Dear Alexander Ohnemus

Thanks. But I need a journal.

I indexed my papers on my website and Research Gate and Google Scholar indexed it within two weeks. The technique worked for published papers. I have an accepted (but not published) paper indexed in Arxiv and Research gate, awaiting for it to be indexed.

Why would you want to improve a country's ranking in the Global Innovation Index?

Why not to improve the innovation performance of a country, especially the favourable socio-economic impacts of innovation?

Considering any ranking can be easily misleading. It is more pertinent, more useful to have a good understanding of the national innovation system of a country (and depending on the country, also the regional and sectoral innovation systems inside that country).

For the pitfalls of GII (and the European Innovation Scoreboard), and more generally, that of composite indicators, see, e.g.

Havas (2019): Measurement of innovation: the use and misuse of indicators and scoreboards (available here, at RG)

Do you mean (i 10th. index)?

Dear Hadi Davardoost ,

I overlooked your paper in “Advanced Mathematical Models & Applications”. I you look at https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21101057377 and click on ‘Scopus content coverage’ you see that Scopus indexed 21 papers published in 2023 so far.

I think that the journal forwarded the (meta)data of the first two issues and not yet that of the papers from issue 3 (where your paper is published in).

Not sure whether this will be resolved in the next week, but pretty sure it will be soon.

Best regards.

Dear Alwielland,

The Global Innovation Index (GII) is an annual report published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), in collaboration with other organizations such as Cornell University and INSEAD. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the innovation capabilities and performance of countries around the world.

It consists of inputs as well as outputs which are classified into 7 seven pillars.

Please see here: https://mastic.mosti.gov.my/statistic/framework-global-innovation-index-gii-2022

At the end of the day, each country takes its value (score) in the normalized Global Innovation Index. Also, you can find (in annual reports) the ranking of countries based on their scores.

Best,

Apostolos

The most commonly used index for assessing the quality of domestic effluent wastewater is the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD). It measures the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by microorganisms to break down organic matter in the water. Lower BOD levels generally indicate better water quality.

Three examples of a purported "Environmental Sustainability Index":

2. https://www.honeywell.com/us/en/company/sustainability/environmental-sustainability-index

3. https://www.euromonitor.com/article/the-environmental-sustainability-index

Most of the trusted and indexed journals are free of charge regarding the APC.

In the global innovation index 7 factors are measured: institutions, human capital and research, infrastructure, market sophistication, business sophistication, productivity and knowledge results and impact.

Dear Pooja Bhatt You ask your question to the Q&A section here on RG with no relation to Scopus. What are the details? So, what is the journal, what paper, when published etc.

Best regards.

Dear Ravikumar Ch ,

There is potentially good when it comes to your paper and unfortunately quite some bad news when it comes to the publisher behind the journal IJRITCC. The bad news is that the publisher behind the journal “Auricles (Global Society of Education and Research)” is a publisher with a dubious reputation:

-A journal published by this publisher is extensively discussed here https://www.researchgate.net/post/Do_you_know_any_Editor_name_or_mail_contact_for_the_Mathematical_Statistician_and_Engineering_Association_J and as mentioned in my reply the Scilit site links the “publisher” “Auricle Technologies, Pvt., Ltd.” https://www.scilit.net/publishers/5394 to numerous journals with “issues” and those indicated with *** are already identified as titles that have been hijacked (https://retractionwatch.com/the-retraction-watch-hijacked-journal-checker/ ):

-Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education (turcomat)***

-Psychology and Education***

-International Journal on Recent and Innovation Trends in Computing and Communication

-International Journal of Communication Networks and Information Security (ijcnis)

-Converter***

-Information Technology in Industry

-Forest Chemicals Review

-Mathematical Statistician and Engineering Applications

-International Journal of New Practices in Management and Engineering

-Design Engineering***

-Pollution Engineering

-Journal of Advanced Zoology

-International Journal on Future Revolution in Computer Science & Communication Engineering

-International Journal on Recent Technologies in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

-International Journal on Recent Trends in Life Science & Mathematics

-International Journal of Modern Agriculture

-Psychology and Education***

-Another journal title published by them (Auricle) is suffering with Scopus indexing issues as wellhttps://www.researchgate.net/post/All-the-papers-or-articles-published-in-Scopus-Indexed-journals-will-be-in-Scopus-Database-or-not

Satyanarayana Nimmala, et al. (2023). Crop Recommendation System Using Improved Apriori Algorithm. International Journal on Recent and Innovation Trends in Computing and Communication, 11(8), 409–415. https://doi.org/10.17762/ijritcc.v11i8.9083

-If you click on Scopus content coverage of the journal IJRITCC at their Scopus link (https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21101089961 ) you see why the journal is discontinued, they publish a suspicious larger number of papers in 2022 and even more in 2023 compared to the years before their Scopus indexing

Based on this I am afraid that this publisher does not operate according to proper scientific publishing standards and most likely will not do much with the complaint.

However, there might be potentially good news since if you look at the list of discontinued titles and go to the last few columns where Scopus indicate the details about the final coverage (see enclosed file) then the Scopus coverage will include everything up to volume(issue) 11(9s). Since yours is published in volume 11 issue 8 you might have some hope that your paper will be indexed

(Satyanarayana Nimmala, et al. (2023). Crop Recommendation System Using Improved Apriori Algorithm. International Journal on Recent and Innovation Trends in Computing and Communication, 11(8), 409–415. https://doi.org/10.17762/ijritcc.v11i8.9083 ).

Sir I'm in a trouble of calculating osi using comsol.

Will you please explain detail how to write the expression?

Actually I can't calculate the average wss.

Maybe you should add a parameter: --disable_rad_check

The reference portion is usually excluded while checking plagiarism.

Dear M. Mahalakshmi The "Zoological Record" is part of Web of Science (WoS), BUT not part of the WoS core collection, see enclosed figure.

I am not sure but my guess it that a paper in this journal will not be indexed in your WoS (ResearchID?) profile.

PS. The journal has some issues see my reply here https://www.researchgate.net/post/Do_you_ever_get_DOI_error_when_attempting_to_access_them

What is the name of the journal (and a possible link)? As far as I can see you don't have a paper in a journal published by Elsevier so I am a bit confused.

What is the name of the journal (and a link towards them)?

one of the conference procedings published by a conference held in China was cited in Web of science. so it depends on the conference provider whether it is included or not.

Hope it helps.

ResearchGate has not yet found any citations of your publications, therefore the algorithm could not derive a value for the Hirsch Index. However, this does not mean that there are no citations. Other platform like, e.g., Google Scholar may have found citations. For an explanation of this difference, see https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can_someone_help_me_understand_why_there_a_difference_in_the_number_of_citations_shown_in_a_persons_Researchgate_and_Google_Scholar_account/1.

Rahim Alijani Thank you for your comments!!

In the proposed method, I take into account the income of households (i.e. the demand side) and the aspect of housing supply (rental offers). Of course, the aspect of the demand-supply gap can be emphasized. I didn't want to emphasize it. Rather, the gap indicates some instabilities. On the other hand, I wanted to develop an indicator that would be possible to be periodically tested in the real economy using available data. That's why I adopted a diw perspective: demand and supply. Now, as I'm writing to you, an idea came to my mind. Can't this indicator be "corrected" by the influence of the institution? You are also an institutionalist. This would mean that my original formula should be enriched with some "institutional index" that would reveal the impact of the institutional environment on the availability of apartments for rent. Interesting - I guess. This could mean that the concept of accessibility needs to be redefined. My HRAI index could reveal the level of availability of apartment rentals based on the income and supply aspects, which are "verified" by the power of institutions operating in the real economy. Interesting in my opinion. What do you think about it? Maybe we can do something together in this area - if they can propose it to the professor - me as a humble PhD?

Thank you, Kiuling Lai! I am afraid it is too soon for me. We can hope they will repeat it next year. BTW I have been two times in Guangzhou. It is definitely a place that is worth visiting. The Canton Tower is an architectural and engineering marvel. It is the second tallest tower in the world and the most beautiful one.

Are master's students permitted to contribute to this journal? I'm thrilled to be working with my almamater university on Bachelor!
