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
Debugging Support for Reactive Programming with RxJS
Get PDFSoftware engineers use numerous software tools in their daily working routine. These tools help them to streamline complex and repetitive tasks. Integrated development environments bundle such utilities ready-to-hand. This way, engineers benefit from a seamless developer experience where every tool feels and looks like a part of its host application and is only a keypress away. Of course, debuggers are a vital component of this toolset.
Debuggers built into contemporary development environments are tailored to work best with programs following an imperative programming style. However, when used with different programming paradigms, such as reactive programming, these tools do not adequately assist the engineers. This is why software engineers resort to more simple debugging techniques like manual print statements instead.
This summative thesis documents the debugging techniques engineers employ to debug programs implemented using RxJS, a popular library providing reactive programming functionality for JavaScript. First, it reveals why engineers abstain from using specialized reactive debugging tools by identifying a critical success factor for such utilities: A reactive debugger must be ready-to-hand, integrating with the engineers’ overall developer experience. Subsequently, the thesis illustrates the iterative research and development process of a ready-to-hand reactive debugger for Microsoft Visual Studio Code. “RxJS Debugging for Visual Studio Code” provides with Operator Log Points a novel reactive debugging utility. To my knowledge, this is the first reactive debugger that allows engineers to inspect RxJS applications’ runtime behavior without leaving their development environment or adding manual print statements
Debugging Support for Reactive Programming
Get PDFDebugging reactive data-flow-oriented applications is a cumbersome
task. Unfortunately, modern development environments
provide only suitable tools to debug control-floworiented
programs. As a result, software engineers utilizing
RxJS, a popular library for reactive programming in
JavaScript, use inapt debugging tools, utilities outside of
their accustomed IDE, or antiquated debugging practices like
manual print statements. This paper presents two contributions
to reactive debugging: (i) Operator log points, a novel
debugging utility for reactive programming, make manual
print statements obsolete.We implement them for RxJS as an
extension for Microsoft Visual Studio Code. By doing so, we
integrate the utility with the workflow of software engineers
seamlessly, thus (ii) proof the feasibility of a ready-to-hand
debugging utility for reactive programming by existence
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
