    By in situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of MWCNT and negatively charged ZnS nanoparticles, polyaniline (PANI)-MWCNT-Zinc sulphide (ZnS) nanocomposites have been developed. HRTEM, FTIR, UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were all used to classify the nanocomposites. Different nanocomposites' particle diameters were determined to be around 3.21 nm using HRTEM. Absorbance measurements indicates that the incorporation of ZnS nanoparticles in PANI-MWCNT have occurred the red shift of band gap. Holstein model nonadiabatic small polaron model is applicable for these samples

    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
