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
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
The Trieste issue
No full textopenQuesta tesi è uno studio più approfondito, rispetto a quanto illustrato nei libri di storia scolastici, sugli avvenimenti tra la seconda guerra mondiale e gli inizi della guerra fredda e riguarda in modo particolare la cosiddetta “questione di Trieste”, ovvero la lunga controversia diplomatica sulla definizione dei confini, che oppose l'Italia alla Iugoslavia dalla fine della seconda guerra mondiale fino al 1954. Nel corso della trattazione verranno approfondite le principali tappe storiche, dal punto di vista militare, politico e diplomatico, cercando di presentare la situazione da entrambi i due blocchi che si confrontarono.
In pratica gli anglo-americani volevano impedire che il porto così importante sul mare Mediterraneo, come quello di Trieste, non cadesse sotto il controllo dei sovietici, sostenitori in un primo momento degli jugoslavi.
Con il trattato di pace del 1947, l’Italia ottenne la conservazione della sovranità su Gorizia e Monfalcone e, fu solo nel 1954 che Trieste rimase sotto al controllo italiano mentre l’Istria rimaneva stabilmente sotto l'amministrazione jugoslava.
Non possiamo dimenticare però che la “questione di Trieste” e di tutto il territorio adiacente, porta appresso anche il ricordo di una serie di avvenimenti, che portarono a grandi e drammatici esodi, dove le popolazioni di ambo le parti, seppure in periodi diversi, furono costrette a migrare in massa cercando fortuna in altri territori.This thesis is a more in-depth study, compared to what is illustrated in the school history books, on the events between the Second World War and the beginning of the Cold War and concerns in particular the so-called "question of Trieste", or the long diplomatic controversy over definition of the borders, which opposed Italy to Yugoslavia from the end of the Second World War until 1954. In the course of the discussion, the main historical stages will be explored, from a military, political and diplomatic point of view, trying to present the situation from both two blocks that confronted each other.
In practice, the Anglo-Americans wanted to prevent the so important port on the Mediterranean sea, like that of Trieste, from falling under the control of the Soviets, initially supporters of the Yugoslavs.
With the peace treaty of 1947, Italy obtained the preservation of sovereignty over Gorizia and Monfalcone and, it was only in 1954 that Trieste remained under Italian control while Istria remained permanently under the Yugoslav administration.
We cannot forget, however, that the "question of Trieste" and of all the adjacent territory, also brings with it the memory of a series of events, which led to great and dramatic exodus, where the populations of both sides, albeit in different periods, they were forced to migrate en masse in search of fortune in other territories
Analytical Design Concept for Synchronous Reluctance Machines
Get PDFThe aim of the thesis is to derive an analytical design concept based on mathematical and physical model of synchronous reluctance machines working principles. The design concept general validity allows to adopt it for any application specifications and requirements. Magnetic, electrical and mechanical aspects are investigated to maximize the motor performances in high torque density and efficiency terms
