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
Structure and dynamics of model one-dimensional systems : carbon nano-peapods
No full textCe travail de thèse est consacré à l'étude sur une large gamme de températures d'un système unidimensionnel modèle, les nano-peapods de carbone. Ces composés sont constitués de fullerènes (C60, dans notre cas) insérés dans des nanotubes de carbone monofeuillets. Les diamètres des fullerènes et des tubes étant concordant, les fullerènes s'arrangent selon un réseau 1D.Dans le premier chapitre de ce manuscrit, nous décrivons la synthèse des peapods de carbone. Dans les deux chapitres suivants, nous décrivons les différents modèles et méthodes expérimentales qui nous permettent de déterminer l'évolution de la structure moyenne des chaînes de fullerènes, ainsi que la dynamique de rotation et de translation des molécules.Dans les trois derniers chapitres, nous décrivons l'évolution de la structure et de la dynamique des chaînes sur trois gammes de températures, que nous appelons hautes (500-1100 K), basses (0-200 K), et intermédiaires (200-500 K). Les résultats expérimentaux concernant deux types d'échantillons, les peapods monomères et les peapods polymères (dans lesquels les degrés de liberté de rotation sont restreints) sont confrontés à des modèles analytiques. Nous mettons en évidence trois comportements différents des chaînes dans ces trois gammes de température.This work is dedicated to the study of the structural and dynamical behavior of a model one-dimensional system over a wide temperature range: carbon nano-peapods. This compound is constituted of fullerenes (C60, in our case) inserted inside single-walled carbon nanotubes. The perfect match between the inner diameter of the tubes and the diameter of the fullerenes results in a chain organization of the C60 molecules.The synthesis of these peapods is described in the first part of this manuscript. The two next chapters are aimed to the description of the different experimental and simulation methods that are used to monitor the structural and dynamical behavior of the C60 molecules.In the three last chapters, we describe the behaviour of the C60 molecules over three temperature ranges, labeled high (500-1100 K), low (0-200 K), and intermediary (200-500 K) ranges. By comparing experimental results to analytical models for both monomer and polymer peapods (the rotational degree of freedom being hindered in the latter), we highlight three different behaviors of the molecules in these three ranges
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

About this app
This App was initially developed during an academic research project, WEPRINT, funded by the French National Research Agency (N° ANR-16-CE09-0008-01). See the related paper reference in How to cite.
The first aim was to design specific patterns for a device of direct writing. As the device used a combination of a 3D printer and an electric field, the printing precision was very high and the pattern had to be made of lines a few hundreds to a few thousands of nanometers wide. As such a scale was not easy to manage with conventional CAD softwares, at least at that time, the idea to develop this App came naturally.
This application is meant to help you write GCcode files for various shapes:
Lines
Circles with inner grid
Spirals
See the running app here.
Otherwise, download this repo, navigate to its folder, and launch the app with streamlit run GCode.py
Usage
Select the shape you want to produce at the top of the sidebar, then enter all your parameters in the sidebar panel. The resulting shape is drawn in the right panel with a color ranging from green to red, i.e. from start to end of the printing. The printing area is represented by the thick black rectangle.
Once you are happy with your shape, click the "Download GCODE" button to download the resulting GCode file.
The "Remote voltage/current control" checkbox adds the lines "M42 S255 P5" and "M42 S24 P4" in the GCode initialization to allow for remote control of the voltage and current.
The image of the structure can be saved by right clicking on it and saving it.

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
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
