PIDs and HAL, the French Open Archive
No full textInternational audiencePresentation at the PIDfest Conference 2024. Lightning Talk presentation about the French multidisciplinary open archive HAL (https://hal.science/). In this presentation, we will discuss how PIDs are managed in HAL and how they contribute to quality metadata. HAL is a multidisciplinary French national open archive, published or not published, HAL contains more than 1.250.000 files of articles, preprints, conference papers, images etc… HAL is chosen by the whole French scientific and university community for the dissemination of knowledge. HAL helps and encourages its contributors to provide high quality metadata about publications, these metadata are mandatory to enhance the dissemination of the articles, to improve their discoverability and also to assist institutions toward the path of open access. HAL deposit form is quite exhaustive, in fact contributors can provide many metadata about a publication, for instance authors can be associated with many identifiers, same applies to author affiliations, journals, funding agencies.. , providing identifiers for these entities helps to avoid duplicates and to have accurate data which would require a considerable curation effort otherwise. In order to help HAL contributors and leverage the process of depositing in HAL, we use different techniques such as extracting metadata from the full-text or use metadata providers like CrossRef API , PubMed , arXiv… , the metadata for a given article is fetched using available interfaces and in case this metadata contains PIDs , for instance ORCIDs for authors, or RORs for organizations, this helps to avoid relying on approximate matching strategies which can lead to introducing (when matching fails) duplicates to HAL master data or even erroneous data, this mechanism is crucial especially to provide up to date resumes for researchers and collections for organizations
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
AnHALytics : a workflow for text mining
Get PDFAnHALytics é um framework para mineração de dados de documentos técnicos e científicos oriundos de repositórios de grande porte. AnHALytics recupera, extrai dados importantes, e enriquece esses arquivos usando informação sobre o próprio artigo, além de outras bases de dados (por exemplo, a Wikipedia). O workflow de AnHALytics é executado de forma manual, o que causa alguns problemas relacionados com a falta de tolerância a falhas e de um fluxo de execução mais flexível, além da dificuldade para manter e garantir a reprodutibilidade científica. Para prover uma solução para esse problema, um estudo sobre os principais sistemas de workflow e como eles iriam se comportar com uma aplicação como AnHALytics foi realizado. No final desse estudo, um desses sistemas foi selecionado, e sobre ele foi executada uma simulação de performance em uma aplicação similar à AnHALytics, onde foi observado seu comportamento em comparação a uma solução por scripts. Os resultados dessa simulação mostraram que esse tipo de aplicação pode ser significantemente melhorado com a integração de workflows científicos. Como os resultados da simulação mostraram, workflows científicos — criados inicialmente para aplicações no domínio das biociências — também podem ser utilizados em aplicações de mineração de dados, e apresentam resultados similares, dando à aplicação significantes melhoras quando comparado com a versão em script, manualmente executada, do workflow
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
