    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    CO2 Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) + meteorological parameters in alpine grasslands at Nivolet Plain, Gran Paradiso National Park, 2021 (IGG-CNR-CZO@NIVOLET)

    CO2 Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) measured at Nivolet Plain, Gran Paradiso National Park, Italy, in a high-altitude Alpine grassland environment (about 2500-2700 m.a.s.l.) using the closed portable flux chamber method during the 2021 vegetative season (July-October), approximately twice a month. NEE is measured with a transparent chamber, while ER with a dark chamber (transparent chamber shaded with a cloth). Data represent the average values and the corresponding standard deviations obtained from five sites at different altitudes and soil substrates. Each average value is obtained as a mean over a set of 20 point-measurements for each site and each sampling date. Flux data are complemented by measurements of soil temperature and soil volumetric water content, air temperature, air RH, and solar radiance. During the measurement, air is pumped from the chamber to an IR gas analyzer (IRGA) and then injected again in the chamber. The CO2 concentration inside the chamber is measured for about 90 seconds and then the rate of concentration change is linearly interpolated (over 60s) to obtain the flux measurements. A detailed description of the sampling method can be found in Magnani et al. (2020). Instrumentation used: accumulation chambers (height: 31.5 cm; area of the base: 363 cm2), LI-COR LI-840 & LI-850 IR spectrophotometers, stainless-steel collars (inserted into the soil to a depth of about 1 cm), portable meteorological stations (pyranometer LSI Lastem DPA053, thermohygrometer LSI Lastem DMA672.1), pt100 soil temperature sensors, SM150T soil moisture sensor.Cite as: Mariasilvia Giamberini; Ilaria Baneschi; Mariavirginia Boiani; Maurizio Catania; Sara Lenzi; Marta Magnani; Angelica Parisi; Maddalena Pennisi; Brunella Raco; Gianna Vivaldo; Antonello Provenzale (2022).

    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 link
    We 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

    Eddy Covariance data from ICOS-associated station IT-NIV at Nivolet Plain, Gran Paradiso National Park, 2020 (IGG-CNR-CZO@NIVOLET)

    Data stored here refer to Eddy Covariance (EC) data measured at the Alpine CZO (IGG-CNR-CZO@NIVOLET), established in 2019 at the Nivolet Plain (Piani del Nivolet) in the Gran Paradiso National Park (GPNP). The EC tower was installed to deeply study CO2, H20, latent and sensible heat exchanges between soil, vegetation, and atmosphere. Carbon dioxide fluxes and environmental variables are recorded to estimate carbon storage and explore CO2 fluxes drivers in high-altitude grasslands. Measured parameters: Net vertical turbulent CO2 flux (µmol+1s-1m-2); air temperature (deg_C), air relative humidity (%), wind speed (m+1s-1), max wind speed (m+1s-1), wind direction (deg_from_north) Method: The EC station respects both sensors and data processing standards defined by the ICOS community. Flux processing software: EddyPro® set to default processing settings. The output variables have a 30-minutes resolution. The uploaded parameters are obtained by aggregating over a 3-hours time span. The associated measurement time (column B in the uploaded file) indicates the beginning of the 3-hours averaging period (es. Time T= [Time T; Time T+2h30 min]) Instrumentation: 3-Dimensional Sonic Anemometer (Manufacturer: Gill WindMaster, s.n.: W174606, Firmware: 2329-701-01, Instrument height: 4.485 m, North alignment: SPAR, North offset: 0, Wind data format: u, v, w); Enclosed path CO2/H2O Gas Analyzer (Licor Li7200RS, s.n.: 72H-0947, Firmware: 8.8.28, Tube length: 115.5 cm, Tube diameter: 5.33 cm); Weather station (Thermohygrometer LSI Lastem DMA 672).

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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
