Reply to Shanmugam, G., Comment on Internal Waves, an Underexplored Source of Turbulence Events in the Sedimentary Record by Pomar Et Al. [Earth-Science Reviews, 111 (2012), 56-81], Earth Science Reviews (2012)
No full textShanmugam (2012) just published a criticism about the study of
Pomar et al. (2012) on the potential importance of internal waves
in shaping the sedimentary record in lakes and oceans. We would
like to acknowledge the effort done by G. Shanmugam for initiating
such a discussion. However, while scientific debates and controversies are necessary for the advancement of science in general, and for sedimentology in particular, they should be carried out with coherence and rigor to be constructive. Unfortunately, Shanmugam's comment appears to us not to follow this logic such that it is difficult for us to reply in a sensible manner
L'arrêt Hôpital de l'Enfant-Jésus c. Camden-Bourgault et le contrat hospitalier occulté : aventurisme ou évolution?
No full textL’auteur commente l’arrêt Hôpital de l’Enfant-Jésus c. Camden- Bourgault de la Cour d’appel, notamment en ce qui concerne son refus de reconnaître l’existence du contrat hospitalier ainsi que la responsabilité de l’établissement pour la faute du médecin. On examine également l’affirmation selon laquelle il est impossible pour l’hôpital d’offrir des soins du ressort exclusif des médecins. Exprimant certaines réserves sur le cheminement de la Cour, le commentateur s’interroge sur l’opportunité d’amorcer un revirement jurisprudentiel dans ce domaine.The writer comments the findings of the Court of Appeal in Hôpital de l’Enfant-Jésus c. Camden-Bourgault, more particularly regarding its refusal to recognize the existence of a hospital contract and the liability of the establishment for the fault of a physician The Court’s affirmation that it is legally impossible for a hospital to provide medical services reserved exclusively to physicians is also examined. While expressing certain reservations as to the reasoning of the Court, the commentator questions whether it if opportune to undertake a reversal of precedent in this field

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
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
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
