 4. Take 10 Journal papers in your research area, write a critical review and submit

Mitchell G.Borg et al discusses that the resultant hydrodynamic performance characteristics of a

ducted, high solidity tidal turbine portrayed a peak power coefficient of 0.34, with a thrust coefficient
of 0.97, at a nominal tip-speed ratio of 1.75.

R.Ramírez-Mendoza et al discusses about the asymmetric effects of a modelled tidal turbine on the
flow and seabed. They proved that flow asymmetry due to the presence of the rotor which appeared
to be related to the development of the wake and potentially to the gyre of the blades. Suspended
sediments in the flume also exhibited asymmetrical characteristics due to the flow asymmetry. This
imbalance in the flow field and sediment transport may decrease energy extraction efficiency in
turbine arrays and also could have important environmental consequences.

BenoîtGaurier et al highlighted the importance on the study of turbulence intensity effects on wakes
and turbulence performance. The results proved that a small misalignment of the layout axis with
respect to the tidal current may result in a decrease of performance at the end.

SongKe et al mentioned that the real working environment of tidal-stream turbine, three major
factors influence on hydrodynamic performance including flow shear rates, yaw angle and
arrangement rule in array. It is found that the different shear rate of flow will result in power and
axis thrust slightly amplitude comparing with the uniform flow, and a diffuser turbine will further
amplify this effect comparing with a bare turbine. The greater the yaw angle is, the more power and
axis thrust is reduced.

M.Nachtane et al denoted that A review on the technologies, design considerations and numerical
models of tidal current turbines.

M.Nachtane et al had done a parametric analysis is conducted which deals with the effect of velocity,
energy and geometry of the impactor. The mechanical behavior has been analyzed as both kinematic
effect due to deflection of the composite structure and dynamic effect caused by the interaction
between the impactor and the hydrodynamic and hydrostatic pressures over the loading.

Jai N.Goundar et al studied about the designed 10 m diameter, 3-bladed horizontal axis tidal current
turbine (HATCT) and the result shows The maximum power at the rated current of 2 m/s is 150 kW
and the maximum efficiency is 47.5%.

A.Mason-Jones et al discusses the dimensional scaling of a turbine using CFD and experimental data.
The paper shows that even changes in the blade pitch angle results in new turbine characteristics
under uniform velocity conditions and it is expected that these can be used for profiled flow.

PenfeiLiu et al investigated a series of 7 bi-directional tidal turbine metal rotor models were
manufactured and tested. It was found that rotor with a solidity of 0.4 produced the highest power
output. The increase in power coefficient from a solidity of 0.2 to 0.4 and 0.6 to 0.4, is 14% and 16%,
respectively. This indicates that for this kind of bi-directional turbine, a relatively larger solidity of
about 0.4 than most installed turbine rotors maybe a better choice in terms of power output.

K.Omkar et al discusses about the work on a horizontal axis marine current turbine (HAMCT) of
diameter 1.9 m is modelled using the blade element momentum (BEM) scheme and the turbine
output parameters are given as an input to the electrical system for a tip speed ratio (TSR) of 5 and
a power coefficient of 0.4. It is concluded that SMC is most suitable for robust and non-linear system
and provides good voltage regulation and the output voltage is boosted more as compared to the PI
controller.

5. Find out whether any product/process/design/idea has been patented in your field of research
– using google Patent/Orbit Express- submit a report

Using Google patent – “Solving seasonal velocities simulation problems using evolutionary
computing techniques for tidal turbine blades”

for tidal turbine blade" is a method or closed loop system for solving seasonal tidal current velocity
problems to obtain optimal power efficiency throughout the year is provided for tidal turbine blades.
The method may include receiving geometric, engineering and analysis rules associated
with tidal turbine model. The method may also include configuration of tidal turbine blade design
systems, and production of automated design engineering solutions, through the common
computational modelling. The method may then include dynamic design engineering automation
from conceptual to detail design, analysis and optimisation of any tidal turbine blade. The method
may further include reduction of human interaction or dependency during the geometric modelling,
and simulations of seasonal velocities of tidal turbine blades. The method may further include
optimisation of the tidal turbine blade to produce higher power efficiency throughout the year for
any chosen Tidal site location, where in the method comprises of a genetic algorithm. The method
may also include a design, analysis, and optimisation interface to produce effective multi-disciplinary

6) Go through the video tutorials from Mendeley website, Install Mendeley Desktop- report
experience of its use and the features of Mendeley- including linking it to MSword for appropriate
citation style of reference for as per chosen Journal format.

Mendeley for organising the bibliographic references and writing perfect bibliographies on their
assignments. This is something we usually do with the Library support:
 • It has friendly interface that to me distinguishes Mendeley from other applications, as well
as the social network interaction.
• Adding friends, and posting on the dashboard can also be done with Mendeleys desktop.
• We can follow colleagues from other departments working in the same topics. I think this
social dimension of science is really interesting.
• Graduate students work with multiple databases and it is so easy to collect references from
different sources and put them together in Mendeley.
• From my perspective as a researcher what I have seen is how broadly Mendeley has been
adopted within the scholars’ community. I can create groups and share references with my
peers around the world.
• I treasure the openness spirit that runs Mendeley meaning that it is able to accommodate
new services for researchers, i.e. integrations with service providers and also with ORCID, the
Open Researcher and Contributor ID.

7.Familiarize yourself with the citation style recommended by your Department for DC report,
Synopsis and thesis- submit a brief report on the citation style recommended by the dept.

Any citation style is set up to give the reader immediate information about sources cited
in the text. In citations, the references should be numbered and appear in the order they
appearin the text. When referring to a reference in the text of the document, put the number
of the reference in square brackets. Eg: [1]
The citation style has 3 main features:
✓ The author name is first name (or initial) and last. This differs from MLA style
where author’s last name is first.
✓ The title of an article (or chapter, conference paper, patent etc.) is in quotation
marks.
✓ The title of the journal or book is in italics. These conventions allow the reader
to distinguish between types of reference at a glance.
The correct placement of periods, commas and colons and of date and page numbers depends
on the type of reference cited. Check the examples below. Follow the details exactly. Eg.: put
periods after author and book title, cite page numbers as pp., abbreviate all months to the
first three letters (eg. Jun.)

8. Locate Journal citation reports JCR- list different metrics used for ranking Journals.
Use the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) to locate impact factors. The impact factor is a
measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a
particular year. The JCR also lists journals and their impact factors and ranking in the context
of their specific field(s). Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is a produced by Thomson Reuters and
can be accessed either by a direct link to the database from Search Tools or from within the
Web of Science interface.
Different matrices used for ranking Journals

• Impact Factor
A journal impact factor is a calculation based on a two-year period and is calculated by
dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles
published in the two previous years. An impact factor of 2 means that, on average, the
articles published one or two years ago have been cited two times.
• 5-Year Impact Factor
The 5-year journal impact factor is the average number of times articles from a journal
published in the past five years have been cited in the chosen JCR year.
• Immediacy Index
The immediacy index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is
published. It is a way of determining the "hot topics" in a discipline.
• Eigen Factor
The Eigen factor Score calculation is based on the number of times articles from the
journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year, but it also
considers which journals have contributed these citations so that highly cited journals
will influence the network more than lesser cited journals. References from one article
in a journal to another article from the same journal are removed, so that Eigen factor
Scores are not influenced by journal self-citation.
• Cited Half-Life
The citing half-life is the average age of articles cited by the journal in the JCR year.
For example, in JCR 2014, the journal International Social Work has a citing half-life of
7.1. That means that 50% of all articles cited by articles in International Social Work in
2014 were published between 1995 and 2014 (inclusive). This helps to evaluate the
currency of the research cited.
• Article Influence Score
This score is a means of measuring the influence of a journal's articles over the first five
years since publication. It is calculated by multiplying the Eigen factor Score by 0.01 and
dividing that by the number of articles in the journal.

10. Write a note on "how the impact of a paper published is evaluated?"

Identifying the key-performance parameters for active scientists has always remained
a problematic issue. Evaluating and comparing researchers working in a given area have
become a necessity since these competing scientists vie for the same limited resources,
promotions, awards or fellowships of scientific academies. Whatever method we choose for
evaluating the worth of a scientist’s individual research contribution, it should be simple, fair
and transparent. One common approach that has been used for a long time is to calculate the
number of citations for the publications of a scientist and also see the impact factor of journals
in which these publications have appeared.
The impact factor (IF) or journal impact factor (JIF) of an academic journal is a measure
reflecting the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal.
Itis frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field; journals
with higher impact factors are often deemed to be more important than those with lower
ones. The impact factor was devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for
Scientific Information. Impact factors are calculated yearly starting from 1975 for those
journals that arelisted in the Journal Citation Reports.

Calculation

In any given year, the impact factor of a journal is the number of citations, received in
that year, of articles published in that journal during the two preceding years, divided by the
total number of articles published in that journal during the two preceding years:

Numerous criticisms have been made regarding the use of impact factors. For one thing, the
impact factor might not be consistently reproduced in an independent audit. There is also a
more general debate on the validity of the impact factor as a measure of journal importance
and the effect of policies that editors may adopt to boost their impact factor (perhaps to the
detriment of readers and writers). Other criticism focuses on the effect ofthe impact factor on
behaviour of scholars, editors and other stakeholders.[14][15]Others have criticized the impact
factor more generally on the institutional background of the neoliberal academia, claiming that
what is needed is not just its replacement with more sophisticated metrics but a democratic
discussion on the social value of research assessment and the growing precariousness of
scientific careers.

11.Write a note on "how a researcher's publication profile is evaluated?"

There is no single metric to evaluate a researcher. The researcher profiles enable

researchers to create their own personal ID. The ID helps to distinguish researchers from each
other and prevents problems related to name confusions. Publication frequency, citations,
academic networks, quality of publication channels, h-index and g-index are main tools for
evaluating the impact of researches and research groups. The h-index measures the
researcher’spublication effectiveness and the significance of the publications. The h-index
varies in different disciplines that means researcher’s h-indexes of different disciplines are
not usually comparable. The h-index is usually higher for researchers with long career
researching, than for young researchers at the start of their career. h-index can also be used
for evaluating journals. On the university level Publication Forum, Research Assessment
Exercise (RAE) andInternational Ranking are the main evaluation tools
