 Google is providing hundreds of terabytes of storage for open-source scientific databases at http://research.google.com, including more than 120 terabytes of Hubble images. The database also includes papers submitted by researchers, originally published in a wide variety of sources including conferences and peer-reviewed journals. |
News: New citation index launched
Jan. 3rd, 2008 12:25 pm SCImago has released a new citation ranking tool (http://www.scimagojr.com/). The tool uses an approach similar to PageRank by examining both the number of citations arising from a journal and the number of citation links between journals. The ranking tool uses the Scopus journal database rather than the Thompson database that has traditionally been used to assess citations. |
Finally finished the bulk of my second journal paper. Once I add the introduction and conclusion it can be handed off for editing. Next I have to make changes to the now-edited survey paper, as well as prepare an internal presentation for VIT. Then, I can finally work on paper #3 (mostly done) and paper #4 (partly done, needs a bit more work). Those should take about a week each to finish up. That should be sufficient for Phase I, which I can then pull together into Chapter 2 of my final thesis.
