The SJR indicator: A new indicator of journals' scientific prestige

This paper proposes an indicator of journals' scientific prestige, the SJR indicator, for ranking scholarly journals based on citation weighting schemes and eigenvector centrality to be used in complex and heterogeneous citation networks such Scopus. Its computation methodology is described and the results after implementing the indicator over Scopus 2007 dataset are compared to an ad-hoc Journ...

Direct sequential indicator simulation

Sequential Gaussian simulation (sgsim) and sequential indicator simulation (sisim) have emerged as powerful tools for stochastic imaging of Earth Science phenomena and are currently widely accepted fast simulation algorithms. In this paper, we will expand the sequential simulation toolbox by relying on a recent development in geostatistical theory (Journel, 1994) denoted as direct sequential si...

Contouring Discrete Indicator Functions

We present a method for calculating the boundary of objects from Discrete Indicator Functions that store 2material volume fractions with a high degree of accuracy. Although Marching Cubes and its derivatives are effective methods for calculating contours of functions sampled over discrete grids, these methods perform poorly when contouring non-smooth functions such as Discrete Indicator Functio...

Performance indicator scoring.

We read with interest the paper in the May issue on the theme of performance indicator scoring by Houghton and Rouse.1 We were surprised that they did not refer to a conceptually similar attempt we made to develop a composite performance indicator — the National Health Service Practice Performance Index (NHSPPI) — in three areas of England (including their own) and one in Scotland.2 As Houghton...
