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
Isolation and characterisation of both the first fluoroxyfluorofullerene C60F17OF and oxahomofluorofullerenol C60F17O.OH
No full textThe first fluoroxyfluorofullerene C60F17OF (A) has been isolated from the fluorination of [60]fullerene with a mixture of MnF3 and K2NiF6 at 480ºC. This compound has a shorter HPLC retention time than the isomeric fluorofullerene ethers (oxahomofullerenes) and is less stable towards El mass spectrometry. It fragments by losing OF as a single entity and shows no formation of C60O as a fragment ion. By contrast, the ethers fragment by first losing a number of F atoms and then CO, and ultimately show also the presence of C60O, whilst epoxides lose CO as a main fragmentation step and do not give C60O. The first oxahomofluorofullerenol C60F17O.OH (B) has been isolated from the UV-irradiation of a toluene solution of C60F18 in air during 65 It and readily eliminates HF due to adjacent F and OH groups during El mass spectrometry. The structures of both the compounds have been deduced from I D and 2D 19F NMR spectroscopy. Just as oxygen inserts into FC-CF bonds of C60F18 to give ethers, so insertion into a C-F bond gives A. The oxahomofluorofullerenol B is produced by SN2' substitution of F by OH, followed by oxygen insertion into a 6:5-bond (αβ to the OH group) giving a motif not seen previously in fluorofullerenes
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
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
Novel addition in trifluoromethylation of 70 fullerene
No full textPyrolytic trifluoromethylation of [70]fullerene with CF3CO2Ag at 300 degreesC results in the addition of up to 12 CF3 groups to the fullerene cage. Forty-six C-70(CF3)(n) derivatives (numbers in parentheses) were separated by two-stage high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) as follows: n = 2(2), 4(16), 6(9), 8(14) 10(5), some being characterised by F-19 NMR. The range of derivatives is much greater than for other [70]fullerene reactions, and as with [60] fullerene trifluoromethylation, no single derivative is dominant, indicating that kinetic stability mainly controls product formation. F-19 NMR spectra show most derivatives to be unsymmetrical, with combinations of quartets and septets (overlapping quartets) due to contiguous ('linear') addend arrays, having significantly different coupling constants of the 'terminal' quartets of between 9.1 and 17.7 Hz. These differences, together with those observed previously in trifluoromethylation of [60]fullerene are consistent with addition across both 6:6- and 5:6-ring junctions. Of the two C-70(CF3)(2) isomers, one has either C-s or C-2 symmetry, the other has C-1 symmetry, whilst the C-70(CF3)(4) derivatives fall into four categories: (i) symmetrical compounds (one gives only two singlets in the F-19 NMR); (ii) unsymmetrical compounds that show a 'linear' coupling sequence; (iii) unsymmetrical compounds having a remote pairs of adjacent groups; (iv) compounds having a coupled array of three CF3 groups, together with a remote group suggesting sterically-driven migration. The first evaluation of differential NMR couplings across 6:6- and 5:6-bonds in a fullerene has been made using C60F6 as a model
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
