“…The median is 23. Given the standard definition to consider an outlier as any point more than 1.5 times the interquartile range above the third quartile (Navidi 2010), any journal which publishes more than 88.09 articles per year on average can be considered an outlier. 20.0% of the sample falls in this case: IJARCSSE, IJCAIT, IJCISIMA, JC, JS, and JSEA.…”

This article is a contribution towards an understanding of open access (OA) publishing. It proposes an analysis framework of 18 core attributes, divided into the areas of bibliographic information, activity metrics, economics, accessibility, and predatory issues. The framework has been employed in a systematic analysis of 30 OA journals in software engineering (SE) and information systems (IS), which were selected from among 386 OA journals in Computer Science from the Directory of OA Journals. An analysis was performed on the sample of the journals, to provide an overview of the current situation of OA journals in the fields of SE and IS. The journals were then compared between-group, according to the presence of article processing charges. A within-group analysis was performed on the journals requesting article processing charges from authors, in order to understand what is the value added according to different price ranges. This article offers several contributions. It presents an overview of OA definitions and models. It provides an analysis framework born from the observation of data and the existing literature. It raises the need to study OA in the fields of SE and IS while offering a first analysis. Finally, it provides recommendations to readers of OA journals. This paper highlights several concerns still threatening the adoption of OA publishing in the fields of SE and IS. Among them, it is shown that high article processing charges are not sufficiently justified by the publishers, which often lack transparency and may prevent authors from adopting OA. 1

“…The box-and-whisker plot [41] is a chart comprising five concise statistics, which are the smallest (min), 1st quartile (Q 1 ), 2nd quartile (M e ), 3rd quartile (Q 3 ), and the maximum (max) value of a data set. In this plot, a box is drawn from the first quartile (Q 1 ) to the third quartile (Q 3 ).…”

Study on Optimum IUPAC Adsorption Isotherm Models Employing Sensitivity of Parameters for Rigorous Adsorption System Performance Evaluation

et al. 2021

Adsorption cooling technologies driven by low-grade thermal or solar power are used as an energy-efficient alternative to conventional refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Explicit understanding of the adsorption cycles requires precise determination of the performance parameters, replication of the experimental data, and the rigorous study of the adsorption heat transformation method. Hence, the optimum adsorption isotherms model must be identified. Scientists often face difficulties in selecting the suitable isotherm model as there are many models for a particular form of adsorption isotherm. The present study introduces a novel approach for choosing the optimal models for each type of International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) classified adsorption isotherm using robust statistical methods. First, the box-and-whisker plots of error identification are employed. Tóth for Type-I(a) and Type-I(b), modified BET for Type-II, GAB for Type-III, Universal for Type-IV(a), and Type-IV(b), Sun Chakrabarty for Type-V, and Yahia et al. for Type-VI were found lower than the other candidate models in box-and-whisker plot. The optimality of our selected models was further verified using analysis of variance (ANOVA), pairwise Tukey honest significant difference (HSD) test, Kruskal–Wallis rank-sum test, and pairwise Wilcoxon rank-sum test. In short, rigorous statistical analysis was performed to identify the best model for each type of isotherm by minimizing error. Moreover, specific cooling effect (SCE) of Maxsorb III/ethanol and silica gel/water pairs were determined. Results showed that Tóth is the optimal isotherm model for the studied pairs, and the SCE values obtained from the model agree well with experimental data. The optimum isotherm model is indispensable for the precise designing of the next generation adsorption cooling cycles.

Adsorption cooling technologies driven by low-grade thermal or solar power are used as an alternative to refrigeration and air conditioning systems. To boost the calculation of the performance parameters, the replication of experimental data and the rigorous study of adsorption heat transformation (AHT) method, optimum adsorption isotherms model must be identified. Scientists face difficulties in selecting the right isotherm model to explain their experimental observations. This research introduces the optimal models for Type-I(a) and Type-I(b) International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) isotherms. This study suggests optimum model based on simulation, where samples were taken using multivariate normal distribution by varying parameters. Firstly, the Box and Whisker error plots identify modified BET and Tóth models corresponding to Type-I(a) and Type-I(b) isotherms. Secondly, the robust parametric ANOVA and pairwise Tukey HSD test confirms that these two models are significantly optimal. The results presented are significant in comprehensive adsorption cycle research.
