    Seit zwei Jahren graben Forschende der Universität Bern im Ohridsee in Albanien nach Relikten einer längst untergegangenen Seeufersiedlung. Jetzt zeigt sich, dass die Pfahlbausiedlung Lin fast 8000 Jahre alt und damit die älteste ihrer Art in Europa ist

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    Characterisation of Gliclazide-PEG 8000 Solid Dispersions

    Purpose: The aim of the present study was to characterise gliclazide solid dispersions (SDs) prepared with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 8000 and compare them with SDs in PEG 6000. Methods: Gliclazide SDs containing varying concentrations of PEG 8000 were prepared using the fusion – solvent technique, and their phase solubility behavior and dissolution in 0.1N HCl were assessed at 37°C. The physical state of, and gliclazide-PEG interactions in, SDs and physical mixtures prepared in ratios of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:5 (gliclazide: PEG 8000), respectively, were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results: The solubility of gliclazide increased with increasing amount of PEG 8000 in aqueous medium. Gibbs free energy (ΔGo tr) values were all negative, indicating the spontaneous nature of gliclazide solubilisation. Dissolution studies indicated a significant increase in the dissolution of gliclazide when dispersed in PEG 8000. FTIR analysis demonstrated the absence of well-defined gliclazide - PEG 8000 chemical interaction while DSC and XRD studies indicated the amorphous /microcrystalline state of gliclazide in the SDs. Conclusion: In both solid dispersions and physical mixture, PEG 8000 increases the solubility and dissolution rate of gliclazide. The increased dissolution rate of gliclazide may be due to the formation of microcrystals, increased wettability and dispersibility in systems containing PEG 8000

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We 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
