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
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
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
Etude par spectroscopie infrarouge des complexes C2H2-HCl et C2H4-HCl
No full textIntermolecular interactions paly a crucial role in numerous processes in the fields of physics and chemistry as well. The study of small systems bonded by such interactions (molecular complexes) can provide accurate informations in the processes resulting from the interaction (predissociation mecanism, structural modification in the components of the complex ... ). In order to perform experimental investigation of the molecular complexes, we have set an experimental setup which couples a pulsed slit jet molecular beam and a diode laser spectrometer. This setup allows us to bserve the high resolution infrared absorption spectra of complexes at low Temperature (around 10 Kelvin) with a high sensitivity due to the lock-in detection scheme we use. We have observed the high resoltution infrared spectra of the C2H2-HCl and C2H4-HCl complexes. The experimental results provided by the analysis of these intramolecular rovibrational spectra (vibrational shifts, rotational constants variations) gave rise to information on the interactions involved in the complexes (influence of the vibrational excitation on the interaction, binding energy estimation from a pseudo-diatomic model). In order to have a comprehensive view of the studied systems, we have completed our experimental results by quantum chemistry studies overcoming the usual approximations of ab initio calculations in view of obtaining the anharmonic intermolecular potential energy surface calculating by means of a two dimensional grid calculation. Thus we have been able to obtain information on the effects of anharmonicity, of complete basis set superposition error correction and of coupling between intra- and intermolecular motions.Les interactions intermoléculaires jouent un rôle important dans de nombreux processus tant dans le domaine de la physique que de la chimie. L'étude des systèmes de petite taille liés par ces interactions (complexes moléculaires) permet d'avoir des informations très précises à partir desquelles il est possible d'aller plus avant dans la compréhension des processus qui résultent des ces interactions (prédissociation, changement de structure des entités du complexe). Pour étudier expérimentalement les complexes moléculaires de petite taille, nous avons élaboré un dispositif combinant un jet moléculaire pulsé à fente et une diode laser accordable dans l'infrarouge. Ce dispositif nous a permis d'observer les spectres d'absorption infrarouges de complexes à basse température (10 K) et à haute résolution (5.10-3 cm-1) avec une grande sensibilité grâce au système de détection synchrone hétérodyne que nous utilisons. Nous avons observé les spectres du mode d'élongation H-Cl des complexes C2H2-HCl et C2H4-HCl. Les résultats expérimentaux que nous ont fournis l'analyse spectroscopique rovibrationnelle des ces vibrations intramoléculaires ont permis de remonter à des informations sur les interactions mises en jeu dans ces complexes (influence de l'excitation vibrationnelle sur l'interaction, estimation de l'énergie de liaison à partir d'un modèle pseudo-diatomique). Afin d'avoir une vision plus globale des systèmes étudiés, nous avons complétés notre étude expérimentale par des études de chimie quantique. Nous avons notament dépassé les approximations usuelles des calculs ab initio par un calcul du potentiel intermoléculaire sur une grille à deux dimensions. Nous avons ainsi pu obtenir des informations sur les effets d'anharmonicité, de la correction de l'erruer de superposition de base et de couplages entre les mouvements intramoléculaires et intermoléculaires
