    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    MiniSIP as a Plug-in

    Internet telephony has rapidly becoming an integral part of life. Due to its low incremental cost and the wide availability of voice over IP (VoIP) based services these services being used by nearly everyone. Today there are many VoIP applications available in the market, but most of them lack basic security features. Because people use VoIP services via public hotspots and shared local area networks these VoIP applications are vulnerable to attacks, such as eavesdropping. Today, there is a great need for VoIP applications with high quality security. MiniSIP is an open-source VoIP application platform, initially developed at KTH. High quality security has been a major focus of MiniSIP developments by several students, including the first public implementations of the secure real-time protocol (SRTP) and the Multimedia Key Exchange (MIKEY) protocol. MiniSIP implements secure end-to-end VoIP services. In addition, MiniSIP implements features such as dynamically choosing the most appropriate CODEC during a call, implementing calling policies, etc. However, it suffers from having a complicated GUI that requires the use of many libraries, rendering it both hard to build and hard support – both of which make it unsuitable for commercial purposes. Web browser plug-ins are shared libraries that users install to extend the functionality of their browser. For example, a plug-in can be used to display content that the browser itself cannot display natively. For example, Adobe's reader plugin displays PDF files directly within the web browser. Real Network’s Streaming video player utilizes a browser plug-in to provide support for live video streaming within a web page. Adobe’s Flash player plugin is required to load or view any Flash contents – such as video or animations. The goal of this thesis project is remove the problem of the existing MiniSIP GUIs by developing a Firefox browser plug-in for the MiniSIP application that will utilize a web-browser based GUI. The prototype that will be designed, implemented, and evaluated will implement an open-source VoIP application that is easy for a Firefox browser user to install and will be easy to use via a web interface. The long term goal is to facilitate an ordinary user to utilize VoIP communication via their web browser. A secondary goal is to re-use the code within MiniSIP, while using the web-browser to provide the GUI.Internettelefoni har snabbt blivit en integrerad del av livet. På grund av dess låga marginalkostnaden och den breda tillgången på Röst över IP (VoIP) tjänster dessa tjänster används av nästan alla. Idag finns det många VoIP-applikationer som finns på marknaden, men de flesta av dem saknar grundläggande säkerhetsfunktioner. Eftersom människor använder VoIP tjänster via offentliga hotspots och delade lokala nätverk dessa VoIP-applikationer är sårbara för attacker, såsom avlyssning. Idag finns det ett stort behov av VoIP-applikationer med hög kvalitet säkerhet. MiniSIP är ett open-source VoIP-program plattform, ursprungligen utvecklats vid KTH. Hög kvalitet säkerhet har varit ett stort fokus på MiniSIP utvecklingen genom att flera studenter, däribland de första offentliga implementeringar av den säkra realtid protokoll (SRTP) och Multimedia Key Exchange (MIKEY) protokollet. MiniSIP implementerar säker början till slut VoIP tjänster. Dessutom genomför MiniSIP funktioner som dynamiskt välja den lämpligaste CODEC under ett samtal, genomföra samtalsstrategier, osv. Men lider den från att ha en komplicerad GUI som kräver användning av många bibliotek, vilket gör det både svårt att bygga och hård stöd - som båda gör det olämpligt för kommersiella ändamål. Webbläsare plug-ins delas bibliotek som användare installerar för att utöka funktionerna i sin webbläsare. Till exempel kan en plug-in kan användas för att visa innehåll som webbläsaren inte själv kan visa inföding. Till exempel visar Adobes Reader plugin PDF-filer direkt i webbläsaren. Real Networks strömmande videospelare använder en plugin-att ge stöd för levande video strömning i en webbsida. Adobe Flash Player plugin krävs för att ladda eller visa en Flash innehåll - såsom video eller animationer. Målet med denna avhandling projektet är bort problemet med befintliga MiniSIP GUI genom att utveckla en Firefox webbläsare plug-in för att MiniSIP programmet som kommer att använda en webbläsare baserad GUI. Prototypen som kommer att utformas, genomföras och utvärderas kommer att genomföra en öppen källkod VoIP-program som är lätt för en Firefox webbläsare användaren att installera och kommer att vara lätt att använda via ett webbgränssnitt. Det långsiktiga målet är att underlätta en vanlig användare att använda VoIP-kommunikation via sin webbläsare. En sekundär målsättning är att återanvända kod i MiniSIP, medan du använder webbläsare för att ge det grafiska gränssnittet
