    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

    The diversification of wine assortments with valuable varieties with qualitative and productive potential, with better tolerance to diseases and stress factors, is one of the main concerns of Romanian wine research. In this paper are presented data on the agrobiological and technological potential of some varieties for white wines created at R.D.S.V.O. Odobeşti (Şarba, Băbească gri, Mioriţa and Vrancea), in the climatic conditions of the wine year 2019-2020. In the Odobeşti vineyard the wine year 2019-2020 was characterized by a severely deficient rainfall regime, having as effect the atmospheric drought followed by the diminution of the water reserve in the soil and the gradual installation of the pedological drought. The Şarba variety showed a more accentuated sensitivity to the atmospheric and pedological drought, which generated a stagnation of the sugar accumulation process in the grains. The grape production varied between 5.19 kg/vine for the Mioriţa variety and 6.17 kg/vine for the Băbească gri variety, values close to the productive potential of these varieties. Qualitatively, the production was characterized by superior accumulations of sugars between 188.5 g /l for the Mioriţa variety and 212.9 g/l for the Băbească gri and Şarba varieties, with values of the total acidity of the must between 7.34 g/l acid tartaric to the Băbească gri variety and 5.17 g/l tartaric acid to the Vrancea variety

    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

    The scientific research in the field of vine improvement, with a permanent role in the diversification the assortments of vine, is oriented both to the creation of new qualitative and productive genotypes, but also to the obtaining of genotypes with increased resistance to diseasesand tolerance to stress factors. In order to respond to this goal, at R.D.S.V.O. Odobeşti, through the hybridization directed between the intraspecific hybrid(Băbească neagră x Fetească neagră) and the interspecific hybrid Couderc 14 (Vitis lincecumii x Aramon)has been obtained and homologated in 2016 the assortment called Remus.The new creation is characterized by small to medium sized grapes (167g), small berry (1.9 g), with crisp core and dark red-purple coloured skin, the pulp is firm, semi-soft, very slightly colored. The average grape productionis 4.0kg/vin, respectively 15.5tons/ha. It presents high biological resistance to major cryptogamic diseases. The grapes reach maturity in the epoch V. Are obtained the rose or red wines for current consumationorhigh quality, with anaverage alcoholic potential (11.5 –12.0% alcohol by volume), relatively low acidity (5.8-6.8 g/Ltartaric acid), and mean values of the non-reducing extract (17.9 -19.5 g/L)
