El violento pasado de NGC 7727: en la búsqueda de sistemas estelares jóvenes
Get PDFEl estudio de cúmulos globulares en remanentes de fusiones recientes de galaxias, ofrece una excelente oportunidad para estudiar no solo la formación de las galaxias progenitoras, sino también las interacciones y la formación de estrellas y sistemas estelares que ocurren durante dichos eventos en el Universo local. Un desarrollo muy interesante de los últimos años ha sido confirmar la existencia de poblaciones de cúmulos globulares jóvenes y de edades intermedias en fusiones de galaxias ricas en gas. Trabajos previos en la literatura indican que el objeto de estudio del presente trabajo, la galaxia NGC 7727, ha sufrido un importante evento de fusión hace aproximadamente 1,3 x10⁹ años. Teniendo en cuenta este contexto, NGC 7727 conforma un excelente escenario para el estudio de poblaciones estelares jóvenes, producto de fusiones recientes ricas en gas.The study of globular clusters in remnants of recent galaxy mergers offers an excellent opportunity to study, not only the formation of parent galaxies, but also the interactions and the formation of stars and stellar systems that occur during galaxy interactions in the local Universe. Confirming the existence of populations of young and intermediate-aged globular clusters in gas-rich mergers of galaxies has been one of the most interesting developments in recent years. Previous works in the literature have indicated that the object of study of the following work, the galaxy NGC 7727, has undergone a major merger event approximately 1.3 Gyr ago. Taking this context into account, NGC 7727 forms an excellent scenario for the study of young stellar populations, resulting from recent gas-rich mergers.Asociación Argentina de AstronomíaInstituto de Astrofísica de La Plat
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
