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
Geofluids and natural gas in Romania, and the 10th International Conference on Gas Geochemistry
No full textThis thematic issue of Geofluids includes 11 papers representing the three main topics discussed in the 10th edition
of the International Conference on Gas Geochemistry (ICGG-10): (i) gas in petroleum systems and seepage,
(ii) gas in geothermal systems and volcanoes and (iii) gas, seismicity and geohazards. ICGG-10 was held in 2009
in Romania, a country extraordinarily rich in surface gas manifestations, that offers innumerable opportunities for
innovative studies on gas geochemistry. We briefly describe the present knowledge on gases occurring both in
petroliferous sedimentary basins and geothermal areas of Romania. The 11 contributions of this special issue,
which include data from eight countries, are then summarised. Based on these papers and other works presented
at the ICGG-10, we find that significant advances in analytical capabilities, data treating and interpretation have
led to innovative insights into the origin, distribution and environmental impact of gases migrating to the Earth’s
surface. It is increasingly clear, in particular, that gas geochemistry can be more effective for petroleum exploration,
volcano-tectonic, geodynamic and environmental studies, if multiparametric studies are performed and the
data are interpreted in the geological context.Published457-4624.5. Studi sul degassamento naturale e sui gas petroliferiJCR Journalrestricte
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
Geogenic emission of methane and carbon dioxide at beciu mud volcano, (berca-arbănaşi hydrocarbon-bearing structure, eastern carpathians, Romania)
No full textAs shown by previously performed flux measurements, the mud volcanoes of Berca-Arbănaşi hydrocarbon-bearing structure in Eastern Carpathians Foredeep, including Pâclele Mari, Pâclele Mici, and
Fierbători, represent a main gas seepage system in Romania, with considerable emissions of methane. The present work completes these gas emission studies by reporting the flux of methane and carbon dioxide at Beciu mud volcano, belonging to the same structure, not measured previously. In total, 78 measurements were carried out in June 2011 (40 on the vents, 34 on the area covered by mud and 4 in the external area, covered by vegetation). Diffuse fluxes from mud were found ranging from 102 to 105 mg CH4 m-2 day-1, and 102-104 mg CO2 m-2 day-1; the emission from individual vents was in the range of 0.014 to 32 t CH4
year-1 and 0.003 to 2.9 t CO2 year-1. These values are comparable with those typically documented for mud volcanoes worldwide. Gas seepage occurs pervasively throughout the muddy cover, even if it appears to be saturated with water. The total emission of CH4 and CO2 from Beciu mud volcano is
conservatively estimated to be at least 190 t year-1 and 35 t year-1, respectively. The Beciu output leads the total CH4 emission from the four Berca mud volcanoes to at least 1350 t year-1, a value comparable with
that reported for a similar number of giant mud volcanoes in Azerbaijan. This work contributed to update the geogenic gas flux data-set of Romania and to extend the global data-set of methane and carbon dioxide emissions from mud volcanoes.Published159 - 1664.5.

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
