Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Low Frequency Alternating Current (LFAC) Transmission Systems for Offshore Wind Farms - Case Studies on the Use of LFAC, Based on Horns Rev 3 Offshore Wind Farm
No full textThis thesis investigates the use of low frequency alternating current (LFAC) for the longdistance transmission of the power extracted from offshore wind farms. It is based on the measurement of power flow in different nodes in the system simulating an offshore wind farm being built outside the coast of Denmark, Horns Rev 3 (HR3). The results for scenarios simulating different lengths of the offshore cable and the operating frequency of the system are compared. Reactive power compensation is used to improve the power flow of the system and to counteract the reactive current from the capacitance in the long offshore cable.
Power flow, voltage- and current limitations of the offshore cable, and varying the reactive power compensation in the different nodes are used to assess if the different scenarios described are feasible or not. Considerations related to size and operation at reduced frequency on the different power system components are mentioned and discussed briefly. The thesis does not include any detailed analysis with regards to a possible increase in cost for the different components operating at reduced frequency.
The thesis concludes that the use of LFAC gives reductions regarding power losses, improving the power system efficiency. For the real case of HR3, using LFAC excludes the need for reactive power compensation. The thesis also proves that it is possible to transmit substantial amounts of power over longer distances than any other AC-cable in operation today. It is proved that using LFAC and reactive power compensation from shore, it is possible to transmit over 370 MW to the grid with an overall efficiency of more than 93 %, at a distance of 200 km using a 220 kV offshore cable. Including reactive power compensation from the offshore end of the cable, the distance can be increased to 300 km, delivering over 370 MW of power to the grid with an overall efficiency of 91 %.
However, the weight and size of LFAC transformers are considerably higher than the equivalent 50-Hz components, with up to 2.7 times the weight, this would be a challenge for the construction of the offshore substation transformers. Beyond the scope of this thesis further investigations are needed regarding costs for the different components of the system, as this is not included

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
