Deliverable Report D6.1 eNanoMapper Year 1 Dissemination Report
No full textWP6 (Dissemination and Training) focuses on the development of news, events, findings, practices, resources, services created and scientific discoveries or progress from the eNanoMapper project. The Deliverable 6.1 describes the overall dissemination activities in the first twelve months of the project with a focus on the Task 6.1 (Community web site), Task 6.2 (Virtual seminars), Task 6.3 (Workshops) developments and other important scientific events in which eNanoMapper partners participated with lecture and/or poster presentations. Online dissemination tools which facilitate the information exchange between the eNanoMapper partners and the dissemination of the project results to the general public have been created and deployed. In the first twelve months of the project, the dissemination activities included also webinars and workshops (i.e. OpenTox 2014 Conference in Athens, Greece, co-sponsored by eNanoMapper and ToxBank FP7 projects) that covered scientific applications developed in the project and case studies. These events have the role to promote advances in the areas covered by eNanoMapper and to foster collaborations and common approaches with other programs. At the level of EU NanoSafety Cluster, eNanoMapper is also well represented: WG4 (Database) is led by Egon Willighagen (UM) and WG8 (Systems Biology) is led by Bengt Fadeel (KI), both WP leaders in eNanoMapper.http://www.enanomapper.net/deliverables/d6/150131eNanoMapper-D6.1-KI-20150126.pd
Deliverable Report D6.2 eNanoMapper Year 2 Dissemination Report
No full textThe key objectives of WP6 are to disseminate and raise awareness of the scientific results, tools and applications developed in the eNanoMapper project among the user communities in academia and industry, and to provide training on these eNanoMapper tools, through online seminars, and other training events. In the second year of the project, the project partners have produced additional online seminars or webinars on selected topics as well as tutorials on tools developed in other work packages and we took part in several scientific meetings with presentations on eNanoMapper, and co-organized workshops and conferences including CompNanoTox 2015 and OpenTox 2015. Important scientific papers were also published including a contribution to a thematic issue on “Nanoinformatics for Environmental Health and Biomedicine”, on the eNanoMapper database for nanomaterial safety information. Additionally, the eNanoMapper project is well represented in the EU Nanosafety Cluster as WG4 (databases) is chaired by Egon Willighagen (UM) and WG8 (systems biology) is chaired by Bengt Fadeel (KI).http://www.enanomapper.net/deliverables/d6/20160304_eNanoMapper_D6.2_Year_2_Dissemination_Report_with_Annex.pd
Deliverable Report D6.6 eNanoMapper Final Dissemination Report
No full textThe key objectives of WP6 are to disseminate and raise awareness of the scientific results, tools and applications developed in the eNanoMapper project among the user communities in academia and industry, and to provide training on these eNanoMapper tools, through online seminars, tutorials, and training events (workshops). In the third year of the project, the partners have produced a series of tutorials on tools developed in the technical workpackages and organized several workshops including the nanoEHS workshop in the context of the US-EU nanoEHS platform. Project members actively participated in numerous conferences including the EUROTOX congress in Sevilla, Spain, and the OpenTox conference in Rheinfelden, Germany, and several eNanoMapper presentations are scheduled for the joint nanosafety conference in Malaga in February 2017. We also organized the 2nd Nanosafety Forum for Young Scientists in Visby, Sweden, with the EU nanosafety cluster. The eNanoMapper project is well represented in the NanoSafety Cluster as WG4 (databases) was chaired by Egon Willighagen (UM) and now by Nina Jeliazkova (IDEA) and WG8 (systems biology) is chaired by Bengt Fadeel (KI) while Barry Hardy (DC) co-chairs the working group on databases & computational modeling in the US-EU nanoEHS platform. Overall, dissemination and training activities in the project accelerated in the third and final year, as planned, and all project partners actively contributed to community development.http://www.enanomapper.net/deliverables/d6/D6.6_Final_Dissemination_Report.pd
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
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
