Optical thermometry based on fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technology has several advantages such as remote signaling, non-invasiveness, and excellent spatial resolution. These qualities are needed in industrial and medical applications. Here, we prepared luminescent thermometers by doping...

Purpose – The purpose of this conceptual paper is to present a simple, novel method for excluding self‐citation from h ‐index values – the b ‐index. Design/methodology/approach – The work described assumes that relative self‐citation rate is constant across an author's publications...
