Satellite Navigation Science and Technology for Africa Workshop

Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics 23 March – 9 April, 2009

P. Doherty, Boston College

S. Radicella, ICTP Boston College’s Institute for Scientific Research (ISR) and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) recently joined together to host a workshop on Satellite Navigation Science and Technology for Africa. The workshop was designed and directed by Patricia Doherty, Director of the Institute for Scientific Research at Boston College, and Sandro Radicella, Head of the Radiopropagation Laboratory at the ICTP. The focus of the workshop was to provide education to African university professors and graduate students on the use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for social and economic development in Africa.

Africa's Science and Technology Plan of Action [1] clearly states Africa's commitment to develop and use science and technology for socio-economic transformation and full integration into the world economy. The leading socio-economic problems that continue to cripple much of Africa include hunger, extreme poverty, erosion of natural resources and natural disasters. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), are a space technology that can help address these problems and ultimately meet the goals of Africa’s Science and Technology Plan of Action [1]. Specifically, GNSS applications can be used to increase food security, manage natural resources, provide efficient emergency location services, improve surveying and mapping, and provide greater precision and safety in land, water and air navigation systems. It also has applications in numerous fields of scientific study including space weather, geophysics, geography, geology, ecology and biology. The venue for the workshop was the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics on March 23 - April 9, 2009. The ICTP is an international organization located in Trieste, Italy. ICTP is sponsored by two United Nations agencies, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). ICTP’s mission is to foster advanced studies and research, especially in developing countries. Thus it was a logical choice for the location of this workshop. The workshop was attended by approximately 50 participants from Africa. They included university professors and graduate students from 9 countries including, Cote d’Ivoire, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Uganda and Zambia. The lecturers included over 25 GNSS experts from the US and Europe. Many of the GNSS experts were members of the Institute of Navigation including Dr. Pratap Misra, Dr. Chris Hegarty, Dr. John Raquet, Mr. Phil Ward, Dr. Demetrio Matsakis, Dr. Mikel Miller, Dr. Jade Morton, Mr. Casey Miller, Dr. Dorota Brzezinska, Dr. Reza Ehsani, Dr. Todd Walter, Dr. Richard Langley, Dr. Cesar Valladares, Dr. Charlie Carrano, Dr. A.J. Van Dierendonck, Dr. Keith Groves, Dr. Anthea Coster, Dr. Susan Skone, Ms. Susan Delay, Dr. Gopi Seemala and Ms. Patricia Doherty.

The workshop integrated formal lectures with hands-on practice in GNSS architecture, signal structure, hardware design, state of the art applications and scientific exploration using GNSS. An on-site computer laboratory gave participants ample opportunities to perform positioning calculations; to use mapping and surveying software; to plan a precision farming procedure; and to analyze atmospheric and ionospheric data – all from GPS measurements. In addition, participants built LEGO Mindstorm robots to demonstrate the basics of autonomous navigation. Surprisingly, this was the first time many of the participants had seen LEGOS. They also utilized single-frequency GPS receivers in a treasure hunt that was creatively planned by our instructors. In this hunt, teams of 4-5 participants departed at 10 minute increments to navigate a course that spanned the ICTP campus. The winning team returned in just over an hour while other teams took much longer navigating this course. It’s possible they stopped for a gelato. At the completion of the workshop, participants were given textbooks on GNSS and were awarded with Certificates of Completion. They were also donned with Boston College baseball caps which they wore proudly! One of the benefits of this program was that scientists and engineers from the US had opportunities to discuss common interests with African scientists and engineers. Many research programs utilize GPS ground and space based measurements. Unfortunately, studies over the African region have not been possible due to the lack of dependable, long-term measurements. This workshop enabled the potential to establish a base of measurements for joint studies with our African colleagues.

The prime sponsors for this workshop included the ICTP, Boston College, the Institute of Navigation, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Air Force Research Laboratory and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs. These sponsors together with the lecturers and African participants represented a diverse collection of people who are committed to provide GNSS technology for socio-economic benefits and scientific exploration in Africa. Overall the workshop seemed to be a great success. Many of the lecturers commented that this was the most enriching teaching experience of their career. The African participants said that they learned a lot and were very appreciative of the opportunity to partake in this program. Visiting dignitaries and sponsors from the African Union, the Economic Commission of Africa, the Italian Space Agency, the European Space Agency, the Institute of Navigation, the United Nations, the U.S. State Department, the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Air Force were impressed by the program and encouraged us to continue this effort.

ION Journal Report

Dr. Boris Pervan, Publications ChairJune 22, 2009

Overall, the journal is doing quite well. We are on time and we have a good backlog ofpapers. The Summer 2009 issue is in publication and will be mailed in July. We alsoalready have enough accepted papers in hand for the Fall 2009 issue. The editors areworking hard to keep paper quality high; less than 50% of papers submitted to the journalare eventually published.

We have received a decision on our application with Thomson Reuters for indexing in theWeb of Science –also formerly known as the Science Citation Index (SCI). Thomsonhas informed us that we were NOT selected for inclusion in the index at this time, butthat we may resubmit our application in two years. Both Carl Andren and I were quitesurprised at this outcome, and Thomson initially provided little information about whythis decision was made. In a very short emailed decision letter from a Thomsonrepresentative, the brief justification provided was as follows:

“One criterion we consider in evaluating a journal is the impression it has on the scientific community; one method of estimating this is the use of citation data. Thecitation data on this journal do not justify the selection of it at this time. … Increasedexposure to the scholarly community and new data may result in a different decisionin the future.”

Obviously, the lack of detail in Thomson’s justification was quite inadequate for us,especially given the time and effort that we put into preparation. It was certainly notsufficient for us to understand our journal’s current situationrelative to other similarjournals or how to help ensure a successful future application. Therefore, in severalfollow-up emails with the Thomson representative, I’ve tried to collect additionalinformation that I believe will be helpful to us in this regard. I will share this informationwith you below.

Based on my correspondence with the Thomson representative, it has become clear thatall journals (including new applicants) are scored by a normalized citation rate, known as“Impact Factor” (IF). The IF is essentially the number of times an average paper in thejournal is cited by an external source. The formula is basically IF = N/M, where M is thenumber of papers published in the journal over the past two years, and N is the totalnumber of citations to these M papers from external sources.

To Thomson’s credit, the use of such a normalized IF does tend to equalize between journals publishing many papers and those publishing relatively few (like ours).However, no consideration is given to the rigor of a journal’s peer review process, or paper acceptance rate. This means that journals with papers that go through little or no

peer review can have higher IFs if their“average”paper has more citations from externalsources than ours. This is the reason that the Thomson representative recommended thatwe “increase the exposure” of our journal.

It is also important to understand, as noted above, that Thomson’s IFconsiders onlypapers published in a journal over the past two years (in the term M above). Therefore,seminal papers published years ago in our journal, while they may be cited veryfrequently even today, do not count in the IF calculation. Obviously it is important thatwe continue to publish high quality papers every year. However, it is just as important toensure that the journals and conferences that cite our papers are actually included inThomson’s search (this is directly connected to the term N above).

Based on my subsequent correspondence with the Thomson representative, it has becomeclear that the only external citing sources that count in N are journals or conferences thatare ALREADY INDEXED by Thomson. For example, according to the Thomsonrepresentative, it appears that the IEEE/ION PLANS Symposium is indexed, but otherION conferences are not.

Most of the citations to the NAVIGATION’s papers likely come from ION conferenceproceedings, so if these proceedings are not included as citing sources, then it’s not surprising that the our journal’scitation count is low. Naturally, I would expect that wedo get some citations from PLANS papers, but this conference happens only every twoyears, so the count is smaller. According to the Thomson representative:

“Conference proceedings are now a part of the Web of Science. Any citations fromthese proceedings to journals should be searchable in Web of Science (and linkedwhen possible). In 2008 data, because of the inclusion of the ConferenceProceedings Citation Index in Web of Science, we have an additional 1-million+citations from proceedings were considered in the JCR [Journal Citation Reports]analysis. If your institute has the subscription of Web of Science, you can find outwhich conference proceedings have cited the journal of Navigation by performingCited Reference Search

http://thomsonreuters.com/business_units/scientific/free/essays/journalselection/.

The selection of conference proceedings is conducted by another group. You maycontact James Smolens or Janice Clarke for more information. Their emails are:

James.smolens@thomsonreuters.com

Janice.clarke@thomsonreuters.com ”

Also I’m sure that we are occasionally cited by papers in our competing journals, all ofwhich are already indexed, for example Journal of Navigation (RIN), IEEE Transactionson Aerospace and Electronic Systems (TAES), AIAA Journal of Guidance, Control andDynamics (JGCD), and GPS Solutions.

Among these four other journals, TAES and JGCD devote only a small fraction of theirspace to the field of navigation, so their citation rates are probably not directlycomparable (because they are significantly influenced by the other subject matter theycarry). However, the other two journals, Journal of Navigation and GPS Solutions, aresimilar in scope to NAVIGATION. The Journal of Navigation is coordinated by the RoyalInstitute of Navigation (RIN) and is published by Cambridge Press. The journal claimsan IF of 0.486. GPS Solutions is published by Springer and claims an IF of 1.244. TheThomson representative told me that NAVIGATION has an estimated IF “less than one third of impact factor for the Journal of Navigation”—i.e., presumably less than about0.16.

In addition to the conference citation issue above, another indirect reason for ourrelatively low IF may be the fact that both of these journals are represented by majorpublishing houses. These publishers are presumably financially motivated to gainexposure for their journals. Admittedly, it’s not obvious to me how large a role this plays,because the Journal of Navigation’s circulation numbers appear to be no larger than ours.Also, the Thomson representative has assured me that “all journals, whether published bymajor or small publishers, go through the same evaluation procedure and criteria.” Nevertheless, I think it is quite likely that major technical publishing houses, based ontheir long experience in the business and with Thomson Reuters, know how to get theirjournals indexed with Thomson.

Another potential issue is “mis-citations.” I've noticed in a recent manuscript review for an IEEE journal that a manuscript intending to cite a paper in NAVIGATION inadvertentlycited the “Journal of Navigation.” Naturally I corrected this in my review of themanuscript, but it does make me question how many other such cases may have goneunnoticed. Thomson claims that they direct any citations to either “NAVIGATION: Journalof the Institute of Navigation” or “Navigation”toward our journal. However, we maymiss some citations because the“References” sectionat the end of a typical paper is oftenhastily written, and many people (e.g., graduate students who often write these sections,and sometimes the rest of the papers as well) think of our publication simply as as “the journal of navigation.” In contrast, it seems much less likely to me that an authorintending to cite the RIN’s “Journal of Navigation” would simply reference “Navigation.”

Based on the observations above, I offer the following recommendations forconsideration by the ION:

1. As suggested by the Thomson journal representative, get a subscription to theWeb of Science sothat we can track our journal’s citations.

2. Contact the Thomson Reuters conference representatives (listed above) toinvestigate whether we can get our ION conference proceedings indexed.

3. Consider using a major technical publishing house to help increase the exposureof our journal and also to coordinate our next application to Thomson’s Web of Science.

4. Encourage use of our main journal title “NAVIGATION” or “Navigation,”ratherthan the subtitle “Journal of the Institute of Navigation,” to help avoid mis-citation issues with“Journal of Navigation.”

Naturally if you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me. I will be ontravel much of the next four weeks, but I will be in email contact.

Boris Pervan
