Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Draft genome sequence of the candida zemplinina (syn., Starmerella bacillaris) type strain CBS 9494
No full textInternational audienceStarmerella bacillaris is an ascomycetous yeast ubiquitously present in grapes and fermenting grape musts. In this report, we present the draft genome sequence of the S. bacillaris type strain CBS 9494, isolated from sweet botrytized wines, which will contribute to the study of this genetically heterogeneous wine yeast species
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
Quantized time correlation function approach to non-adiabatic decay rates in condensed phase: Application to solvated electrons in water and methanol
No full textA new, alternative form of the golden rule formula defining the non-adiabatic transition rate between two quantum states in condensed phase is presented. The formula involves the quantum time correlation function of the energy gap, of the non-adiabatic coupling, and their cross terms. Those quantities can be inferred from their classical counterparts, determined via MD simulations. The formalism is applied to the problem of the non-adiabatic relaxation of an equilibrated p-electron in water and methanol. We find that, in both solvent, the relaxation is induced by the coupling to the vibrational modes and the quantum effects modify the rate by a factor of 2-10 depending on the quantization procedure applied. The resulting p-state lifetime for a hypothetical equilibrium excited state appears extremely short, in the sub-100 fs regime. Although this result is in contrast with all previous theoretical predictions, we also illustrate that the lifetimes computed here are very sensitive to the simulated electronic quantum gap and to the strongly correlated non-adiabatic coupling
PB 9493-9494 intertacting galaxies: The correlation of IRAS sources with close pairs of PB UVe objects
No full textInternational audienceThe cross-correlation of close pairs of UV-excess objects from the Berger-Fringant catalogue with IRAS sources supplies three cases. The first two are already known objects. We study in detail the most interesting (and new) case: PB 9493-9494. Optical observations in direct imaging and in integral field spectrography confirm that this system is a pair of strongly interacting galaxies with starbursts and show the complex structure of an evolved but not merged encounter. Although such an evolution step is only intermediate, the brightest nucleus (PB 9494) may be on the verge of becoming an AGN. We discuss the peculiarities of this system with regard to optical versus far infrared behaviour, in connection with its special mode of selection
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
