- Professor Emil Björnson explains why some researchers and papers get many citations, and how to structure your research efforts to become highly cited. Emil became a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher and an IEEE Fellow at the age of 38, has 19000+ citations, and works at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. scholar.google... #research #impact #advice #Clarivate #IEEE #googlescholar #citations #architects #stockholm #researchscholar #researchpublication
Excellent video. How about making a video on teaching how to write a paper for IEEE transaction journals and flagship conferences. Thank you!
Thanks for the suggestion! I’m not sure if there is a single recipe for that, but I will think about it. Is there something particular you would like the video to cover?
@@WirelessFuture Thank you for your reply! I would particularly like to learn more about writing an abstract, introduction, and scientific illustrations for high-level journals like IEEE transactions.
@@WirelessFuture I'm looking forward to it
Very insightful, thanks Prof.
A very insightful thought. I would like to ask, how to do a research professor, like if I wanted to do a research in 6g for example, what things I have to use to implement it ? It would be very nice if you would do a video on that for students like me.
Wireless technology contains many different components, so very few companies are building all of them. Each person typically has an expertise in a small subset of the area. As a researcher, you need to determine which parts that you want to work with and then determine how to evaluate your research results - mathematically, using computer simulations, or through prototyping with real hardware.
@@WirelessFuture in case of hardware prototyping, I would like to know how people implement certain algorithms and protocols, like a router, how does it know whether it should operate using 4g or 5g should we write a computer code for it? If so, which tool and programming languages they use? To verify our research results, professor
Hello, just one short comprehension question. It is said that with digital beamforming we can have theoretically endless beams. Does that really mean, that with just a 2-element array, we can produce so much beams?
These beams are not very narrow, due to the small aperture size. That is clear.
So are there many overlapping beams, is that right? Thanks.
It all depends on what we mean with the word “beam”. With two antennas, you can send the same information-bearing signal from both antennas but vary the relative phase and amplitude. There is an endless number of radiation patterns that can be generated by those variations but none of them are particularly narrow.
You can then pick N different such radiation patterns and transmit N different signals using them, all at the same time. They will mostly be overlapping beams. One can only create two non-overlapping beams with two antennas, and only if the directions are sufficiently different.
But yes, you can create an endless number of overlapping beams. It might not be so useful since the SINR will be poor.
@@WirelessFuture Thank you, so theoretically you can send more than 2 datastreams, but, it is pointless due to the overlapping. In practical usage one tends to send max 2 datastreams.
Thanks to you for all of the insightful videos. A more general question, in digital communication, what process at the receiver and transmitter takes the longest e.g. videotape an event and bring it to the homes? Coding/Decoding? Modulation/Demodulation? Sampling and quantization?.....
Thanks
The system is built to perform these tasks in a sequence so it is preferable to make the hardware implemention so there is not one step that causes long buffers for other steps. Some steps might require more space on the silicon to achieve that. However, one particular thing that creates delays is decoding because error-correcting codes need to wait until an entire block has been received before the decoding can be finished.
Thank you very much for your sharing, Professor
Clear and understood video. Thanks for sharing
Dear Emil, what is your view on researchers with more than 100 papers per year, does it have any value or is it just spamming and trying to hack the citations game? I wonder whether they even read the papers with their name on them
My impression is that many people who publish that much already have good citation statistics so they don’t need to hack the game. I think the situation is that many other people want to work with them, to get good advice and enhance the credibility of their work. I believe that reading two paper drafts per week (100 papers per year) and give feedback that will (to some extent) contribute to their success is fully feasible for an experienced professor. If you have a long experience in a research field, sharing your know-how with many collaborators could be a valuable service to the community, and you probably get so many requests for collaborations that you can focus on the ones that seems most promising. If you would decline the collaboration request, the paper will likely be published anyway but with lesser quality, so it wouldn’t reduce the total number of publications (i.e., not reduce “spamming” or overpublishing). I believe this is the rationale behind these researchers’ publication strategy.
To answer your question, I think these researchers usually read the papers before putting their name on them, but not in every detail. There are likely some people who only spend an hour per paper and give high-level advice, mainly meant to guide future work on the topic. When spending so little time, it is hard to keep a solid quality throughout the long publication list. One could blame such researchers for not having a higher bar for which papers they put their name on, being ignorant to weaknesses in their publications, and not using their success to approach more challenging research problems.
You can probably find exceptional cases where some highly cited researchers force people in their organization to put their name on papers even if they didn’t read it at all, or where they don’t read the papers at all. But this is hopefully uncommon.
Very informative video..Thankyou professor
Thank you Prof. ❤
Thanks Prof.
Thank you
Very useful video
Nice one sir
The landmark LDPC paper has been forgotten for almost 40 years :) because information is spreading too slow back then
I would also suggest due to computational complexity, until the last decade or so LDPC codes were an interesting information theory problem and not much more. Nevertheless Gallagher was the 'architect' of this work with his original thesis as Emil points out here; it perhaps presents an interesting case of architects and designs moving between different epochs with a new relevance.
computational complexity ? Do you mean that the computer at that time was so weak they cant simulate BER for LDPC and therefore does not understand the strength of LDPC ?
*IF your research sucks, you won't be cited*
Its that simple.
