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
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
TERRITORIAL AND NATURAL PRIORITIES OF MACEDONIA - IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR TOBACCO PRODUCTION DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFTerritory and natural conditions in Macedonia are well known in the World market of high
quality production of oriental type of tobacco. Production of oriental tobacco at such a
small territory is insignificant towards other producers (Bulgaria, Turkey), buy it is very
important for Macedonian economy. The high value of exported tobacco and other tobacco
products is regularly above 100 million USD (113 million USD for 2006 and 106 million
USD for 2007). As a family production with low grade of mechanized labor processes, it
provides survival of more than 100 000 residents of Macedonia. These reasons are enough
to evaluate the importance of tobacco for a country with a gross national income per capita
of around $4,120 in 2008, (GNI, Atlas method) and high unemployment rate (over 35%).
Natural resources for oriental tobacco production are relatively adequate for the
most of the countries from Mediterranean region as well as Balkan Peninsula.
However, the specific climate and soil conditions in Macedonia have a high
comparative value for oriental tobacco. They enabled the tobacco to have definite
value above all other crops from Macedonia, especially in areas limited with water
resources and soil with low percentage of humus.
High level of tobacco production in the previous period has resulted with building of many
huge industrial capacities, warehouses for final processing as well as three factories for
cigarette production. They have been all build for the great domestic market (for over
twenty million people of Former Yugoslav Republic) and partly for export. Nowadays,
these capacities insufficiently are used with annual production of over 5,500 t of cigarettes.
Because of inadequate agrarian policy, tobacco production stagnates in the period of long
transition and shows a high instability through the years. Therefore, the advantages of
Macedonian region remain inadequately used. Macedonian region is characterized with
arid climate, because the annual rainfalls are 742 mm/m² (average of 25 years), and the
average of the last 10 years is only 582 mm/m² (schedule of the rainfalls is quite
unfavorable). The biggest part of the oriental tobacco production is designed for export to
the most famous markets (EU, USA, Japan, etc.), because the unprocessed tobacco has a
high quality. Specific physical-chemical characteristics make Macedonian tobacco a
component of the blend used for large number of the World’s famous tobacco brands of
cigarettes. Considering as competitive product in the World market, many countries are
interested in buying Macedonian tobacco (EU, SAD, Japan etc.)

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
