Abstract
Purpose
As the storage and processing requirement of digital information is increasing on the cloud, it is very difficult for the single cloud provider (CP) to meet the resource requirement. Multiple providers form a federation for the execution of users’ requests. For the federated cloud, this paper aims to address the issue distribution of users’ request for resources and revenue among the providers by offering fair and stable distribution models for the federated cloud.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper uses cooperative game (CG)-theoretical models, i.e. Shapley–Shubik power index (SSPI) and Banzhaf power index (BPI) for distribution. Performance is analysed using variance and monotonicity using a case study.
Findings
Numerical analysis is done using two scenarios. Monotonicity is evaluated. Results show that SSPI performs better as compared to BPI in terms of fairness accuracy and the framework provide the fair distribution of revenue among providers in the federated cloud.
Research limitations/implications
The proposed framework works efficiently under the specific defined conditions.
Social implications
Paper provides the fair distribution. It assist the centralised cloud exchange in managing the users’ request in such a way every CPs, in the federated cloud will get an equal chance of serving the users’ request. The framework also provides the stable federation. Proposed work provides less rejection rate of users’ request. Finally, it assists the providers in increasing their profits in the federation.
Originality/value
This paper presents a CG theoretic-based framework for the distribution of resources required and revenue. The framework analysed the performance of distribution models by considering the variance and monotonicity for multiple users’ requests.

Abstract
Purpose
In today’s digital era, data pertaining to scientific research have attracted considerable attention of researchers. Data of scientific publications can be modeled in the form of networks such as citation networks, co-citation networks, collaboration networks, and others. Identification and ranking of important nodes in such networks is useful in many applications, such as finding most influential papers, most productive researchers, pattern of citation, and many more. The paper aims to discuss this issue.
Design/methodology/approach
A number of methods are available in literature for node ranking, and K-shell decomposition is one such method. This method categorizes nodes in different groups based on their topological position. The shell number of a node provides useful insights about the node’s importance in the network. It has been found that shells produced by the K-shell method need to be further refined to quantify the influence of the nodes aptly. In this work, a method has been developed, which ranks nodes by taking the core(s) as the origin and second-order neighborhood of a node as its immediate sphere of influence.
Findings
It is found that the performance of the proposed technique is either comparable or better than other methods in terms of correctness and accuracy. In case of assigning different ranks to nodes, the performance of the proposed technique is far more superior to existing methods. The proposed method can be used to rank authors, research articles, and fields of research.
Originality/value
The proposed method ranks nodes by their global position in a network as well as their local sphere of information. It leads to better quantification of a node’s impact. This method is found to be better in terms of accuracy and correctness. In case of assigning different ranks to nodes, the performance of the proposed technique is far more superior to existing methods.

Abstract
The proliferation of bibliometric review articles is a true reflection of how bibliometrics is gaining popularity and has been widely adopted in various disciplines. The growing interest of scholars has encouraged us to dwell upon the what, why, when, how, and where of bibliometric literature reviews. The study explained the bibliometric review with the standpoint that it can be considered a strong review method for analyzing a large volume of data and scholars can supplement their traditional reviews with bibliometric reviews to strengthen their knowledge. This will help researchers to justify the (a) need for a study on the particular topic; (b) type or method of review chosen; (c) number of articles selected; (d) inclusion and exclusion criterion; (e) method of analysis; and (f) presentation of the findings.

Abstract
Operating ethically when developing and marketing a product or service is critical. An essential aspect of this process is ensuring that a company's guiding principles and values are congruent with its overarching goals. Concerns span from the veracity of marketing to the preservation of individual privacy to the impact of design on the natural world and human civilization. It also entails taking precautions if a product or advertising campaign has unforeseen repercussions. In today's interdependent and globalized world, it is more important than ever for firms to employ morally acceptable design and marketing tactics to acquire consumer trust and generate beneficial social and environmental benefits. This chapter offers insights for future researchers by offering a conceptual framework in ethics in design and marketing, which can be empirically tested. This study highlights several factors like privacy, manipulation, representation and diversity, accessibility, sustainability, social responsibility, and truth in advertising as important factors leading to ethical concerns in design marketing.
