FORSKARCAFé 14/2 - BTH Top 5% articles

"Top5% articles" is a concept often used when comparing universities and departments as a component in ranking. What it means is that a top5% article belongs to the 5% most cited articles in its subject category in the world. The BTH library now proudly present two BTH researchers that have produced such articles.

Take the opportunity to listen to Gunilla Borglin and Johanna Törnquist Krasemann when they introduce their research.

Gunilla Borglin: Nursing Science - Onwards and Upwards

This presentation will very briefly introduce Borglin and Richards (2010) highly cited methodological paper published in International Journal of Nursing Studies. The presentation will focus:

Why this paper came about - i.e. European Nursing Sciences position at present?

Use of the paper and possible explanations to its citations - i.e. is a methodological paper a sure way to raise ones H-index?

Johanna Törnquist Krasemann: Efficient real‐time re‐scheduling of trains during disturbances

As the Swedish railway traffic network becomes more and more saturated and where even small disturbances can propogate and have severe consequences, the need for efficient re‐scheduling support for the traffic managers is evident. In the previous research projects OAT and OAT+, researchers at BTH have develped mathematical models describing how the traffic can be re‐scheduled have been developed as well as optimization‐based algorithms to solve the re‐scheduling problem within seconds. These models and methods serve to provide the traffic managers in real‐time with suggestions on how to optimally re‐schedule the traffic based on information relevant to make a good plan and in line with the objectives and deliverables Trafikverket has assigned to. In the on-going project EOT - , the suggested approach will be further developed with the use of multi‐threading and to be tested in a practical environment during 2012.
