Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full textWe 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
Uitwerken van een sensibiliseringscampagne
No full textDe masterthesis richt zich op het realiseren van een duurzame gedragsverandering bij studenten en personeelsleden van de Associatie Universiteit-Hogescholen Limburg (AUHL), bestaande uit de onderwijsinstellingen PXL, UCLL en UHasselt. Het doel is om autoverplaatsingen te verminderen, duurzame vervoersmodi te stimuleren en parkeer- en verkeersproblemen rond de campussen te voorkomen. De centrale onderzoeksvraag is hoe strategische communicatie campusbeleidsmaatregelen kan inzetten om duurzame verplaatsingsgedragingen te bevorderen. De masterthesis combineert een literatuurstudie over het COM-B model met gedragsveranderingsstrategieën, traditionele en moderne communicatiemethoden, en technologische toepassingen. Het onderzoek omvat een analyse van COM-B componenten, uienschillen en kleurtabellen, campagnetijdlijnen en strategische communicatie. Dit biedt inzicht in het creëren van effectieve boodschappen en het beter afstemmen van communicatiestrategieën op studenten en personeel, wat de kans op succesvolle gedragsverandering vergroot

Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Bayesian network classifiers in Weka
No full textVarious Bayesian network classifier learning algorithms are implemented in Weka [10].This note provides some user documentation and implementation details.
Summary of main capabilities:
_Structure learning of Bayesian networks using various hill climbing (K2, B, etc) and general purpose (simulated annealing, tabu search) algorithms.
_Local score metrics implemented; Bayes, BDe, MDL, entropy, AIC.
_Global score metrics implemented; leave one out cv, k-fold cv and cumulative cv.
_Conditional independence based causal recovery algorithm available.
_Parameter estimation using direct estimates and Bayesian model averaging.
_GUI for easy inspection of Bayesian networks.
_Part of Weka allowing systematic experiments to compare Bayes net performance with general purpose classi_ers like C4.5, nearest neighbor, support vector, etc.
_Source code available under GPL allows for integration in other systems and makes it easy to extend
Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ
No full textThe ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is
B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd),
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5.
The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be
ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%.
Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations
