Age reading of herring at the Swedish Museum of Natural History– otoliths or scales?
No full textThe age of all herring used for the Marine Monitoring Programme for Contaminants in Marine Biota are determined in order to be able to normalize fish to a certain age (although age-normalization is currently not included in the contaminant time trend analysis). Historically, scales are used for age reading, which has the advantage that the fish does not need to be opened or thawed in order to do an age determination and specimen selection for the programme. However, other labs have for the last decades started using otoliths for age determination instead. This method is thought to be more accurate. Otoliths can either be read direct under a microscope or they can be sliced and stained before reading. Using otoliths has furthermore been suggested to be faster than for scales.The aim for the project was therefore to 1) test if we could find an effective and fast method for removing otoliths from herring, 2) evaluate if reading otoliths would save time compared to reading scales and 3) to compare the result from the two methods (age from otolith and scale) to see if there was a bias in the “scale age”. Our focus was for this report on reading the otoliths directly under a microscope.An earlier study conducted at the museum also evaluated the use of scales versus otoliths for age determination. In this study the otoliths were sliced and stained, which means that the two studies are not one to one comparable. The focus on the previous study was also limited to our 3rd aim and did not evaluate the time or otolith removal components
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
