Citation, Paper, Cites per paper

Malam ini, entah dari mana awal pembicaraan teman-teman di lab
yang membuat semua terkejut
kontan aku menengok dengan "what`s up" face.

Ozawa-san, teman lab pun bercerita,
"Sagiya Sensei masuk top 20 earthquake scientist di dunia!"
"Beliau juga baru tau minggu lalu, .."

Kebetulan hari jumat kemarin,
seorang senpai alumni master dan phd dari lab kami yang kini menjadi dosen di Tohoku University, Ohta-san, datang kemari, diskusi kerjasama dengan Sagiya Sensei, dan juga presentasi risetnya sekarang.
Sore hari, Ohta san pun bercerita kalau 2 profesor dari Universitasnya masuk ke 20 Top earthquake scientist di dunia.
Mereka pun googling, masuk ke page tersebut,
situs Science watch namanya;
http://sciencewatch.com/ana/st/earthquakes2/authors/

Scrolling ke bawah,
Ohta San pun kaget!
"Ada nama Sagiya Sensei juga!"
"E--?" Sagiya Sensei pun kaget, karena tidak mengetahui hal ini.

Ya, Sensei kami berdua.
Ranking 13 di kategori Cites per paper
dari 22 papernya, di-citate oleh 565 paper!
Wow!

Citation ini dihitung dalam periode 10 tahun terakhir,
sejak tahun 2000.

Di Jepang memang beliau top earth science,
utamanya di crustal deformation.
Ternyata begitu juga di dunia,
diindikasi dari citationnya pula!
which mean, penelitiannya memang terpakai banget sama orang2.

Selain Sagiya Sensei,
yang langsung terlihat juga oleh kami adalah nama Kanamori Sensei
dengan 1300 citation lebih
dan cites per paper yang juga tinggi.
Kanamori Sensei memang TOP abiss..
Beliau juga menjadi TOP seismologist di US,
one of father of seismology in the world..

Namanya juga ternyata muncul di wikipedia..

Hiroo Kanamori (金森 博雄 Kanamori Hiroo; October 17, 1936—) is a Japanese-born seismologist who has made fundamental contributions to understanding the physics of earthquakes and the tectonic processes that cause them.

He was born in Tokyo and attended the University of Tokyo where he earned his Ph.D. in 1964. He has been on the faculty at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for the majority of his career, and was the Director of the Seismological Laboratory there at one time. He has worked with Dr. Charles Richter, who developed the widely used earthquake magnitude scale, and Kanamori's tenure at Caltech has provided for many widely accepted theories in modern seismology. Kanamori is regarded as one of the scientists who has helped shape modern seismology. His work has influenced several other seismologists and geophysicists, and has provided the platform for most of the modern theories in seismology and geophysics today.

Kanamori and American seismologist Tom Hanks developed the moment magnitude scale which replaced the Richter magnitude scale as a measurement of the relative strength of earthquakes[1][2].

Kanamori invented the method for calculating slip distribution on the fault plane by teleseismic waveform with Masayuki Kikuchi. In addition, they studied realtime seismology.[3]

Dr. Kanamori has recently been working at Caltech on an earthquake early-warning system for Southern California, and helped develop the algorithm used to determine the size of the earthquake at a distance before the strong shaking reaches Los Angeles. A system is currently being tested, and will likely be available in the coming years.[4][5]

In 2007 he was awarded the Kyoto Prize in Basic Sciences.[6]


Aku merasa semakin bersyukur pernah mendapat kelasnya..
Profesor yang begitu enak mengajarnya
Profesor yang selalu menjawab pertanyaan dengan jelas, walau di imel sekalipun.

Profesor yang membuatku berpindah hati ke bidang ini,
yang memotivasi di bidang ini.

"Yosh!! Ganbaroo"
Ujar Ozawa-san.

Ganbarooo!!
