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
A laboratory stand for comparative tests of photovoltaic cells
No full textW artykule zaprezentowano stanowisko badawcze i procedury pomiarowe do badań paneli fotowoltaicznych, które zostało opracowane przy współpracy Katedry Metrologii i Systemów Diagnostycznych i Firmy SOLARHAET. Prezentowane stanowisko badawcze umożliwia przeprowadzenie badań porównawczych dwóch paneli fotowoltaicznych. Jedną z najważniejszych cech tego stanowiska jest możliwość zautomatyzowania procesu pomiaru, co przyczynia się do jego większej niezawodności.The utilization of solar energy for heating and other purposes has become more effective due to fast technology development. Similar progress can be observed in technology of obtaining electrical energy from the sun as a result of modern construction of photovoltaic panels with P-N junctions, which convert a photon of the energy bigger than the energy gap into electric current. The designed in Department of Metrology and Diagnostic Systems at Rzeszow University of Technology and SOLARHEAT Angerman Company portable laboratory stand can be used for comparison of two photovoltaic panels. The most important feature of this stand is opportunity of automatic control process using LabVIEW programming environment and the National Instruments USB 6009 basic data acquisition card. The results of research are written automatically into a text file and displayed on a computer and TV screen. This stand is used for educational purpose to recognize features of PV panels, such as shadow sensitivity, direction and inclination sensitivity. If the halogen lights were replaced by a sun simulator, this device could be also used for professional testing of PV panels. Poland as a member of the European Union is obliged to introduce directives of promotion of the energy from renewable sources. Our unit is associated with promotion of such sources
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
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

Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
