    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

    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

    El rápido escalamiento de la tecnología CMOS y el desarrollo de procesos CIS (CMOS Image Sensor) optimizados para el diseño de sensores de imagen, en nodos tecnológicos de 90nm, 65nm e inferiores, incrementa grandemente la complejidad de los modelos debido a los efectos físicos que ocurren a esta escala, lo que crea la necesidad de implementar celdas compactas con dichos efectos descritos completamente, para los procesos de simulación usando herramientas CAD. En este artículo se muestra el proceso de implementación de una celda completa de un fotodiodo que incluye los efectos físicos fundamentales presentes en áreas de estas dimensiones, haciendo uso de lenguajes de descripción de hardware; evaluando luego la celda en un circuito típico de sensor de píxel activo con CMOS (APS), simulando el circuito en un entorno mixto que incorpora modelos de dispositivos activos en otros lenguajes para comparar las tendencias de las variables eléctricas del fotodiodo con el comportamiento típico de este componente en los circuitos APS
