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
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
Contribution of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Country’S H-Index
No full textThe aim of this study is to examine the effect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development on country’s scientific ranking as measured by H-index. Moreover, this study applies ICT development sub-indices including ICT Use, ICT Access and ICT skill to find the distinct effect of these sub-indices on country’s H-index. To this purpose, required data for the panel of 14 Middle East countries over the period 1995 to 2009 is collected. Findings of the current study show that ICT development increases the H-index of the sample countries. The results also indicate that ICT Use and ICT Skill sub-indices positively contribute to higher H-index but the effect of ICT access on country’s H-index is not clear
2′-deoxyribosyltransferase from bacillus psychrosaccharolyticus: A mesophilic-like biocatalyst for the synthesis of modified nucleosides from a psychrotolerant bacterium
No full textStructure-function relationships of a novel 2 -deoxyribosyltransferase from the psychrotolerant bacterium Bacillus psychrosaccharolyticus (BpNDT) have been exhaustively studied by biochemical and high resolution crystallographic analyses. Despite BpNDT exhibiting some structural features characteristic of cold-adapted enzymes such as localized flexibility in critical loops, its biochemical properties are typical of mesophilic enzymes. BpNDT is a highly symmetrical homohexamer with tightly associated subunits that possesses flexible and short loops bordering the active sites. The catalytic center is essentially identical to that of other mesophilic homologues. Moreover, BpNDT shows that it is a mesophilic-like enzyme since it is not heat-labile and exhibits an apparent unfolding temperature (T) of 49C, being active during 96 h at 40 and 50C. Finally, BpNDT synthesizes natural and modified nucleosides, with preference for purines as acceptors and pyrimidine nucleosides as donors. Remarkably, the synthesis of several therapeutic nucleosides has been efficiently carried out. In this sense, 5-hydroxymethyl-2 -deoxyuridine (5-HMdUrd), 7-deaza-6-hydroxypurine-2-deoxyriboside (7-DHPdRib) and theophylline-2 -deoxyriboside were synthesized for the first time by an NDT enzyme, showing the biotechnological interest of BpNDT.This work was supported by grant CTQ2009-11543 from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and grant S2009/PPQ-1752 (CAPOTE) from Comunidad de Madrid.

Sujeito, discurso e delinquência: uma cartografia de A Sangue Frio
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunição e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2010Sujeito, discurso e delinquência uma cartografia de A Sangue Frio apresenta uma descrição que se debruça sobre os signos narrativos que constroem a instituição da prisão e seu reflexo na produção dos sujeitos. Não se leva em consideração somente o universo semântico em que se dá a instituição da prisão, assim como a punição e também o controle o ambiente, o comportamento, as vestes, as características destas personagens ou, a rigor, a personalidade dos envolvidos mas também como é constituído o sujeito que emerge deste discurso em A sangue Frio, de Truman Capote. Para isso, esta obra será lida pela lente do pensamento de Michel Foucault e de seu entendimento sobre a construção dos sujeitos a partir da narrativa que se forma sobre ele. Torna-se necessário aceitar que Foucault não só pensa, mas parte da existência de uma dualidade que põe, de um lado, a forma representada pela visibilidade da prisão; e de outro, o conteúdo composto pelos enunciados, que dão sustentação às punições em si, pela autenticidade encontrada no direito penal e pela legitimação de um sistema de punições por meio de um discurso oficial sobre a delinquência. Vale lembrar que não se trata de focar a observação no crime ou no criminoso, muito menos nos motivos ou nas consequências dos atos praticados por cada um de seus atores, mas no universo de significados usados por Truman Capote em A Sangue Frio na construção cênica, tanto do ambiente quanto nas relações de tempo e espaço; na construção dos próprios personagens apresentados; e, por extensão, no próprio discurso ficcional que constrói o sujeito. A presente tese de doutoramento está sustentada por um questionamento central: quem é esse sujeito constituído não a partir de seu ato, mas pelos enunciados que narram as causas e consequências deste ato, que o tornam público e lhe dão autenticidade?Subject, discourse and delinquency a cartography of In Cold Blood presents a description about the narrative signs which construct the institution of prison and its reflex in the production of the subject. Not only takes into account the semantic universe in which it is formed the institution of prison, as well as punishment and control the surrounding, behavior, the vests, the characteristics of these characters or, indeed, the personality of those involved but also comprises the subject that emerges from In Cold Blood discourse, by Truman Capote. Thus, this piece will be read through the lens of Michel Foucault studies and his comprehension about the construction of the subjects from the narrative that produce this subject. It becomes necessary to accept that Foucault not only thinks, but assumes the duality of two sides, one is the way to represent the visibility of prison; and the other is the contents consisted by statements that sustains its punishment, by the authenticity found in penal law and the legitimacy of a system of punishment that uses an "official" discourse about delinquency. It is also important to say that the focus is not the observation of the crime or the criminal, neither the reasons nor the consequences of the acts performed by each actor, but the focus is on the universe of meanings used by Truman Capote#s In Cold Blood in the scenic construction of both, the surrounding and the relations of time and space; in the construction of his own characters presented; and, for extension, his own fictional discourse that constructs the subject. This thesis is sustained by a main question: who is this subject constructed not based on his acts, but by the narrative about causes and consequences of his acts, which make him public and give him authenticity
