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

Second order non linear optical properties of multi–functional chiral azobenzene polymers
Corona poling behaviours of optically active photochromic copolymers derived from methyl methacrylate (MMA) and the methacrylic ester of (S)-3- hydroxy pyrrolidine linked through the nitrogen atom to the highly conjugated photochromic 4'-(β-cyano-β-(methylsulfonyl)vinyl)-4-azobenzene moiety, have been investigated with the aim to evaluate the effect on the non-linear optical (NLO) properties originated by the presence of inactive side-chain MMA groups along the main chain. The NLO properties of in situ corona poled polymeric films have been studied by second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements. The d33 values of the investigated polymers were determined to be in the range 10-86 pm/V after corona poling. The temporal and thermal stability of the optimal SHG signals obtained after corona poling process of all the macromolecular materials has been investigated and compared. The results indicate that the maximum of these properties can be obtained at a molar content of photochromic units around 20- 40
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
