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
High-resolution chemostratigraphy of the Cambrian-Ordovician GSSP: Enhanced global correlation tool
Full text linkVariations 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
The Cambrian HERB excursion (Furongian) from the Martin Point Formation of the Cow Head Gropu, western Newfoundland, Canada.
No full textThe (Hellnmaria-Red Tops Boundary) HERB negative excursion is well known from the deep water, distal slope deposits at the Green Point section, western Newfoundland, Canada. However, the absence of fossils prohibits the precise biostratigraphic constraint of the HERB excursion at the Green Point section. The deeper water strata at the nearby Martin Point South section represent middle to distal slope deposition and are here used to present the continuous carbon-isotope stratigraphy for the upper part of the Furongian Series in the allochthonous Cow Head Group, western Newfoundland, Canada. The Furongian strata are characterised by moderate to low sedimentation rates and the investigated succession at the Martin Point South section provides a complete sedimentary record. The Furongian strata are referred to the Martin Point Member of the Green Point Formation of the Cow Head Group and consist of black, dark grey and green shale, ribbon lime mudstone and grey, brown weathering siltstone.
A total of 33 samples were microdrilled from the most micritic material and analysed for carbon isotope geochemistry from the lower part of the succession (ca 58 m thick) at Martin Point to reconstruct a δ13C profile. The most striking carbon-isotope anomaly detected is the HERB isotope carbon excursion with a clear double peak at the base of the Eoconodontus notchpeakensis conodont Zone. Up section, the HERB is succeeded by a second significant negative excursion in the lower middle part of the E. notchpeakensis Zone and the isotope curve of the E. notchpeakensis Zone concludes with a positive carbon isotope event that marks the beginning of the Cordylodus proavus conodont Zone. The HERB excursion is well developed, complete and biostratigraphically constrained in the Martin Point South section, thus it forms an important proxy for regional and intercontinental correlation and for the discussion on the base of unnamed Stage 10
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
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
