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
Non-linear vibration of nanobeams with various boundary condition based on nonlocal elasticity theory
No full textIn this study, nonlinear vibrations of Euler-Bernoulli nanobeams with various supports condition is investigated. The non-linear equations of motion including stretching of the neutral axis are derived. Forcing and damping effects are included in the analysis. Exact solutions for the mode shapes and frequencies are obtained for the linear part of the problem. For the non-linear problem approximate solutions using perturbation technique is applied to the equations of motion. The different of support cases are investigated and the cases analyzed in detail. The method of multiple time scale that is a perturbation technique is applied to the equations of motion. Natural frequencies and mode shapes for the linear problem are found for the nanobeam. Nonlinear frequencies are calculated; amplitude and phase modulation figures are presented for different cases. Frequency-response curves are drawn. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
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
Nonlinear Vibrations of a Nanobeams Rested on Nonlinear Elastic Foundation Under Primary Resonance Excitation
No full textIn this paper, a comprehensive analysis of the nonlinear vibrations of nanobeams on nonlinear foundations under primary resonance excitation is presented. By utilizing advanced theories and highlighting the distinctions from previous work, we provide valuable insights into the behavior of these structures and their interaction with the supporting foundation. The results contribute to advancing the understanding and design of micro/nanoscale systems in a wide range of applications. The nanobeam is modeled in this paper as a Euler-Bernoulli beam with size-dependent properties. The material length scale parameter in this non-classical nanobeam model accounts for size effects at the nanoscale. For the nanobeam, two boundary conditions are taken into account: simply supported and clamped-clamped. The system's governing equation of motion is derived using the modified couple stress theory, and the accompanying boundary conditions are obtained by applying Hamilton's principle. This hypothesis enhances the analysis's precision by accounting for size effects. To arrive at an approximative analytical solution, the study employs an analytical method called the multiple-scale method. To manage primary resonance excitation in nonlinear systems, this technique is frequently used. The analysis takes into account a number of parameters, including the nonlinear foundation parameter (KNL), Winkler parameter (KL), Pasternak parameter (KP), and material length scale parameter (l/h). These variables have a significant impact on how the nanobeam behaves on the nonlinear foundation. The study includes numerical results in graphical and tabular formats that show how the linear fundamental frequency, nonlinear frequency ratio, and vibration amplitude are affected by the material length scale parameter and stiffness coefficients of the nonlinear foundation. The research includes a comparison study with prior literature on related issues to verify the accuracy of the results acquired
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
Free vibration analysis of axially moving beam under non-ideal conditions
No full textIn this study, linear vibrations of an axially moving beam under non-ideal support conditions have been investigated. The main difference of this study from the other studies; the non-ideal clamped support allow minimal rotations and non-ideal simple support carry moment in minimal orders. Axially moving Euler-Bernoulli beam has simple and clamped support conditions that are discussed as combination of ideal and non-ideal boundary with weighting factor (k). Equations of the motion and boundary conditions have been obtained using Hamilton's Principle. Method of Multiple Scales, a perturbation technique, has been employed for solving the linear equations of motion. Linear equations of motion are solved and effects of different parameters on natural frequencies are investigated
