An Examination of the Convergence of Theory in Libraries and Archives

While the convergence of libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) has received considerable attention, a literature review indicates that integration has primarily occurred around digitization projects, exhibits, and budgets, while professional identity serves as a barrier to integration of scholarly work.2 The present study examines to what extent scholarly theory between archives and libraries has converged by surveying citations from 2008 to 2016 for top-rated library journals in archival journals (and vice versa), examining Library of Congress Subject Headings of cataloged books and dissertations in OCLC WorldCat from 2008 to 2016, and examining papers generated by special projects related to convergence in LAMs. Findings indicate no consistent increase in the number of cross-citations between disciplines in scholarly articles or the number of monographs cataloged with “archives” and “libraries” subject headings in WorldCat that would indicate a convergence of libraries and archives. An examination of papers devoted to the convergence of LAMs shows that while they do not directly address theory and scholarly publishing, they do suggest that distinct professional identities can be considered a barrier to convergence. It is concluded that while LAMs may be converging in some areas, they are not converging in the area of theory, possibly due to a desire to maintain discrete professional identities and low engagement with theory by some archivists.

Applications of Group Theoretical Methods to Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow Models: Survey of Results

The present review is intended to encompass the applications of symmetry based approaches for solving non-Newtonian fluid flow problems in various physical situations. Works which deal with the fundamental science of non-Newtonian fluids that are analyzed using the Lie group method and conditional symmetries are reviewed. We provide the mathematical modelling, the symmetries deduced, and the solutions obtained for all the models considered. This survey includes, as far as possible, all the articles published until2015. Only papers published by a process of peer review in archival journals are reviewed and are grouped together according to the specific non-Newtonian models under investigation.

Editorial

As I start my second two-year term (2017–2018) as the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of the IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration Systems (TVLSI), I wish the TVLSI readership a very happy new year and continued professional success. It gives me great pleasure to report on the state of the journal and our performance metrics. Over the past two years, TVLSI has seen a healthy increase in the number of submissions—from 687 in 2014 to 770 in 2015, and at the time of writing of this editorial, we are at 760 submissions for 2016. We expect the number of submissions for 2016 to cross 800 before the end of the year. TVLSI, therefore, continues to be the premier archival journal for university researchers and industry practitioners in the broad area of VLSI system design.

Choosing venues (including e-mail, internet posting, and archival journals) for the dissemination, discussion, and publication of research

This paper is intended for researchers desiring that their papers get the attention of relevant research community members and will remain widely accessible for the indefinite future. It is suggested that authors send preprints of their works as electronic attachments to all those colleagues they suspect of having possible interest in the work. They should also consider the possibility of posting their preprints on personal and institutional web sites and on e-print servers such as arXiv. They may also want to consider establishing accounts on social networking sites such as ResearchGate so they can make their publications available to all other account holders (worldwide) who explicitly choose (and are enticed by ResearchGate) to follow their work. Before selecting a journal for submission of any paper, they should familiarize themselves with the terms of the copyright agreement and decide whether the scope of authors' rights is sufficient for their desires. Various factors important for the selection of a journal are discussed: relevance of previously published papers to the author's field of research, its likelihood of perpetual existence, the familiarity of the editors with the field, the quality reputation of the past published papers, and the timeliness of the processing of submitted articles.

Not so global: a bibliometric look at engineering education research

ABSTRACTIt has been suggested that Engineering Education Research (EER) is going global. If this were the case we would assume that the research of EER scholars in different parts of the globe would be informed by literature describing prior work within and beyond their home country/region. The authors set out to test this hypothesis by applying citation analysis to research presented in four publication venues: the annual conferences organised by ASEE (American Society of Engineering Education) and SEFI (European Society of Engineering Education) and two archival journals published by these two societies: Journal of Engineering Education (JEE) and European Journal of Engineering Education (EJEE). Our findings from the analysis of 4321 publications show that citations in ASEE conferences are dominated by sources with US affiliations, whereas the SEFI data show that while US sources are frequently cited, European and other authors are also well represented. With regard to the journals JEE and EJEE, a similar pattern is observed. These results suggest that, in citation terms, European EER is relatively global but US EER is not. The authors conclude by suggesting that if the EER community is to aspire to quality scholarship, there needs to be debate around how such issues can be tackled.

Design Structure Matrix Extensions and Innovations: A Survey and New Opportunities

The design structure matrix (DSM), also called the dependency structure matrix, has become a widely used modeling framework across many areas of research and practice. The DSM brings advantages of simplicity and conciseness in representation, and, supported by appropriate analysis, can also highlight important patterns in system architectures (design structures), such as modules and cycles. A literature review in 2001 cited about 100 DSM papers; there have been over 1000 since. Thus, it is useful to survey the latest DSM extensions and innovations to help consolidate progress and identify promising opportunities for further research. This paper surveys the DSM literature, primarily from archival journals, and organizes the developments pertaining to building, displaying, analyzing, and applying product, process, and organization DSMs. It then addresses DSM applications in other domains, as well as recent developments with domain mapping matrices (DMMs) and multidomain matrices (MDMs). Overall, DSM methods are becoming more mainstream, especially in the areas of engineering design, engineering management, management/organization science, and systems engineering. Despite significant research contributions, however, DSM awareness seems to be spreading more slowly in the realm of project management.

All Aspects of Digital Video Watermarking Under an Umbrella

Therefore, only articles published by a process of peer review in archival journal are reviewed. Papers are grouped according to the implementation techniques and further divided into sub techniques. Many papers deal with fundamental of digital video watermarking, including experimental, numerical and analytical works. Others are related to application or natural system. In addition to reviewing journal articles, this review also takes papers of good conferences and meeting on video watermarking. The main aim of authors is to provide every details regarding digital video watermarking under an umbrella. In other words all aspects of video watermarking are placed together in order to helpful to those readers looking the complete literature related to video watermarking scheme.

Special issue on trust and security in wireless sensor networks

The work of Glenn F. Webb.

It is my distinct pleasure to introduce this volume honoring the 70th birthday of Professor Glenn F. Webb. The existence of this compiled volume is in itself a testimony of Glenn's dedication to, his pursuit of, and his achievement of scientific excellence. As we honor Glenn, we honor what is excellent in our profession. Aristotle clearly articulated his concept of excellence. ``We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." As we look over the course of his career we observe ample evidence of Glenn Webb's habitual practice of excellence. Beginning with Glenn's first paper [1], one observes a constant stream of productivity and high impact work. Glenn has authored or co-authored over 160 papers, written one research monograph, and co-edited six volumes. He has delivered plenary lectures, colloquia, and seminars across the globe, and he serves on the editorial boards of 11 archival journals. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. Glenn's scientific career chronicles an evolution of scientific work that began with his interest in nonlinear semigroup theory and leads up to his current activity in biomedical mathematics. At each stage we see seminal contributions in the areas of nonlinear semigroups, functional differential equations, infinite dimensional dynamical systems, mathematical population dynamics, mathematical biology and biomedical mathematics. Glenn's work is distinguished by a clarity and accessibility of exposition, a precise identification and description of the problem or model under consideration, and thorough referencing. He uses elementary methods whenever possible but couples this with an ability to employ power abstract methods when necessitated by the problem.

Bibliometric analysis of African Journal Of Library, Archives and Information Science from 2000-2012

Purpose – This study aims to examine the pattern of publications, using a bibliometric analysis, of the African Journal of Library, Archives and Information Science (AJLAIS) for the period between 2000 and 2012. Design/methodology/approach – The study uses appropriate measures and techniques of bibliometric analysis. Keeping the objectives of the study in mind, the data were collected from the AJLAIS covering the 13 identified years. The analysis covers mainly the number of articles published per volume in each of the specified years, the authorship patterns, the subject areas covered, the length of articles, the citation pattern of articles and the article types. Findings – The results of the study reveal that a total of 218 articles were published in the 13-year period, with 21 (9.63 per cent) articles being the highest total in the year 2002. The study showed that the majority of the articles, i.e. 126 (57.8 per cent), were published by single authors, out of which, a large number were on information retrieval. Of the total number of articles published, 86 (39.4 per cent) were 6-10 pages in length. Volume 19 in 2009 had the highest number of citations with a total of 451 (12.4 per cent). In addition, the study revealed that the majority of the articles were theoretical papers, with a total of 108 (49.5 per cent), while the others were empirical papers, book reviews and short communications. Practical implications – This bibliometric study will enlarge the knowledge base of information professionals on the present condition of library and information science (LIS) research in the current African context and provide some basis for future projections of the discipline. The study will also be helpful for librarians in the process of collection development. This is because, due to increased journal costs and slim budgets for libraries, collection development specialists must make careful selections based on the qualities and standards of journals. Originality/value – Researchers who shy away from this particular type of research owing to its rigorous and time-consuming nature should gather the courage to do so. Further studies should focus on analysing journals that are published in the field of librarianship in Africa, as it will create more awareness of the field of study among other professionals or researchers who are yet to know about it. The study has also revealed AJLAIS as one of the LIS standard journals in terms of its wider citation by contributors in the broader LIS literature.

Breakthroughs in Photonics 2013: Holographic Imaging

Although holography is topic that goes back to the 1950s, the research in this field continues to be very active worldwide. A continuous growth is confirmed by the publication of more than 2000 papers each year in archival journal on different holographic issues. Here we describe shortly what appeared to us to be the most significant achievements reached in 2013 on holographic imaging.

&lt;italic&gt;IEEE TNSE&lt;/italic&gt; Inaugural Issue Editorial

C NETWORK Science and Engineering (NSE) is a discipline of both rich intellectual heritage and visible practical implications. The topics explored in NSE traverse modeling/analysis and design/synthesis, covering topological as well as functional features of networks. The types of networks studied can be technological, informational, social, or biological. The impact of such study is particularly deep and strongwhen coupledwith domain-specific details fromother research communities. Along with nine other members of the founding steering committee, representing the three IEEE sponsoring societies (Computer, Communication, and Circuits and Systems), we worked over 2013-2014 to lay down the foundation of this new journal devoted to NSE. The life span of an archival journal is long. It will take years of initiation and decades of sustained effort to create its reputation and maintain its impact. The inaugural editorial board holds the key in setting the tone for our new journal. With help from the EiC Search Committee chaired by Bruce Hajek, we were excited to select Ali Jadbabaie as the inaugural editor-in-chief in January 2014. A widely-respected researcher with a fair mind and diligent professionalism, Professor Jadbabaie further proposed a strong and balanced editorial board, which was approved by the steering committee in March 2014. His biography and photo are below. In the age of overabundance of research papers, we believe TNSE will showcase the highest quality of scholarly contribution. Over the many years to come, we hope TNSE will also keep the flexibility needed as the field continues to evolve. Ultimately, the rigor and vigor of this Transaction relies on the network of researchers who will submit, review, and read the papers contained in-between the two “digital covers” of each issue. We are thrilled to “hold” the first issue today, and eager to see the future ones unfold.

JAMAGets a New Look!

Welcome to the new JAMA and its first major print redesign in more than 14 years. This redesign is comprehensive and includes all 10 journals that comprise The JAMA Network. The sizeof the journals—theactualdimensionsof thepages—isnow identical, and every article type—including research, opinion, news, humanities, clinical reviews, and letters—has been redesigned. Every typeface, table, graph, and figure has been reviewedand revised.Although the redesignwill bemost evident in print, it will also improve the readability of our content on our digital platforms. The goals of the redesign were tocreatean inviting, visually livelypublicationwithclearnavigation for readersandtoensureharmonyacrossTheJAMANetwork. Much has changed over the past decades in print design, and we have attempted to reinforce the scholarly importance of our research and review sections and to use newer designs to ensure that our Viewpoints, Editorials, and news are more welcoming. The changes are dramatic, and none more so than the cover. The art that has graced the cover for nearly 5 decades hasbeenmoved inside.Wediscussedanddebated this change, queried our readers, and sought advice from the JAMA editorial family. By placing the table of contents on the cover we are responding to a common request: make it easier to find JAMA’s scholarly and stimulating articles. In one spirited exchange with a senior colleague about the cover, he remarked that art is not JAMA, but rather it is the content of JAMA that makes it an important and unique publication. We recognize the important role art has played in the medical humanities and in the history of JAMA, and so it will remain part of our content. All 10 of The JAMA Network journals are now organized in a similar manner. The order of articles, article types, and names of content sections are identical across the network. Readers will find similarly formatted articles regardless of which journal they read. Opinion pieces, including Viewpoints and Editorials, appear at the beginning of each issue. Many of the journals will continue to have invited commentaries about researcharticles. These shorter opinionpieces follow and are linked to the specific article. In JAMA, the news section appears first followed by the opinion section. Research follows, and in all of the journals these articles are now called Original Investigations. The structure of the abstracts has been harmonized across the entire network. Recognizing the importance of abstracts, we dedicate a page to this summary of an article. TheClinical ReviewandEducation section follows,withamixof reviews,quizzes, andother clinically relevant article types. The redesign reflects an enormous effort bymanypeople, but we want to particularly recognize David Harbarger and Britta Hernalsteen at VSA Partners. Although the final decisions are ours, their thoughtfulness and creativity are reflected on every page.We thank them and their design teams and of course the editorial and publishing staff who have worked tirelessly for the past 18months to implement thedesign change. While this redesign is amajormilestone, we are not done yet. We will continue to seek out the best content and to use newprint,web, anddigital developments toenhance thecommunication of our content. Over the past 2 years we have reached out to prospective authors around the world, developednewarticle types, launchedanewplatform, renamed the Archives Journals, introduced an app that allows users access to the entire content of The JAMA Network, and redesigned our entire content. Our vision is simple: to attract outstanding papers, including research, opinion, and reviews; to developnewarticle types that better communicate scientific information in an efficient and scholarly manner; and to use various types of communication—in print, on the web, or on mobile devices—to reachour broad readership and serve their informational needs.

Introduction to the Special Issue on Technical and Social Advances in HRI: An Invitational Issue of JHRI

One of the goals of the Journal of Human-Robot Interaction (JHRI) is to promote a stronger research community, including interactions among HRI-relevant conferences and journals. This issue is comprised of papers that first appeared in another format, usually a conference, and that exhibited special insights or area of interest. Authors were invited to submit extensions to these papers with at least 50% new material and told that the papers would be reviewed relative to the standard of scholarship suited to an archival journal. Submitted papers were then reviewed by at least three reviewers, who were instructed to hold the papers to a journal-level standard for scholarship. Of the papers that were invited, five papers were selected for publication.

Social justice impact of archives: a preliminary investigation

This article reports the first stage of a research collaboration that is elaborating the multiple relationships between archives and social justice. Specifically, it is developing narrative frameworks and diagrammatic representations to identify, understand, illustrate, and deploy the actual and potential social justice impact of archives, archivists, and archival repositories. A discussion of the broader and historical social justice landscape culminates with a working conceptualization-framework of social justice followed by an examination of the many methods and modes by which social justice can be an object of research. This is followed by an examination of the rising presence of social justice as an explicit and accelerating concern in four key English language archival journals before offering a working articulation and approach to an archival—social justice framework. A discussion of understanding and measuring impact, with specific reference to the framework of impact that we have chosen to deploy, culminates with an analysis of the social justice impact of archives as evidenced through two exemplary case studies. This is followed by a summation of key findings and a discussion of future plans to expand this research. The overall objective of these efforts is targeted toward elucidating how archives can be cast as having both positive and negative social justice consequences and demonstrating how archival work can serve social justice goals.

50 Years of the DEIS

The Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society (DEIS), more precisely the IEEE Professional Technical Group on Electrical Insulation, held its first meeting on 16 September 1963 in Chicago. The chairman, vice-chairman (administration), vicechairman (technical), and secretary-treasurer were J. R. Perkins, K. N. Mathes, G. L. Moses, and L. M. Johnson, respectively. The name of the Group was changed to the Electrical Insulation Group on 8 May 1964 and to the Electrical Insulation Society (EIS) on 1 January 1978. The latter change was due mainly to the initiative of President Ray Bartnikas; being an IEEE Society rather than an IEEE Group enabled EIS to be fully financially responsible for its own activities and publish its own archival journal. The most recent name change, to DEIS, occurred on 5 February 1986; Arend van Roggen felt that EIS did not reflect the significant fraction of the membership interested in the fundamental properties of dielectrics as well as their role in insulation. DEIS membership has been fairly steady around the 2,000 mark for 25 years.

EiC team farewell and new EiC team introduction

Over the last five years, IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies (TLT) published 20 journal issues on a range of topics in the fi eld of learning technologies written by researchers from many countries and research teams. Altogether, these papers demonstrate an amazing diversity of our field, learning technologies, with a broad interest in this topic shown all over the world. In the last three years, the number of yearly submissions increased from 135 to 161, with the acceptance rate now at 17.8%. We hope that over the next five years, TLT will continue to serve as a leading archival journal, publishing papers on exciting new developments in various parts of our quickly expanding field. Continuity will be provided by the new editorial team, which has been fully engaged in TLT activities in the past. Peter Brusilovsky, who assumed the role of Editor-in-Chief (EiC) in January 2013, has served as the Associate Editor-in-Chief, and Mike Sharples, the new Associate EiC, has served as a guest editor and Editorial Board member. With this message, we welcome you to the sixth year of TLT, and we pass the leadership to the new team.
