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
Holistic models of degradation processes in mechanical systems - an outline
No full textW pracy dokonano przeglądu modelu teorii i zastosowań procesora energii o skończonym potencjale destrukcji. Najważniejszym zastosowaniem wszelkich odmian tego procesora jest możliwość holistycznego modelowania ewolucji i dynamiki części mechanicznej różnego typu systemów, również mechatronicznych. Idea procesora energii jest na tyle płodna i uniwersalna że można wykorzystać ją do modelowania jednomodalnego zużywania się materiału, z jednej strony, a z drugiej do modelowania samopodobnych hierarchicznie zorganizowanych systemów złożonych z możliwością analitycznego badania rozpływu energii.Mechanical subsystems are key elements of civil and mechanical engineering as well as mechatronic products. Independently of the size of subsystem they may limit the safety and functionality of the main system, so we have to know the long term and short term behavior of mechanical subsystem. The main idea of holistic modeling is illustrated in the paper, and energy processor model can be digested more from some references. But it seems to the author that inference properties of holistic modeling and energy processor models are not widely known and used. Due to its fractal properties, they can be used to model the behavior of the part as well as the whole system, enabling to trace the energy flow, dissipation and wear inside the system
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

Parametry inżynierskie i sprzeczności w zastosowaniach metodologii TRIZ do drganiowej diagnostyki maszyn
No full textTRIZ methodology is a promising tool to obtain solutions of problems close to so called ideal final result - IFR. There are some introductory papers of present author posted on Diagnostic Congress in Cracow [Cempel 12] and this year Wisła Machinery Diagnostic Conference. But it seems to be a need to make such an approach from different sides in order to see if some new knowledge and technology will emerge. In doing this we need at first to define the ideal final result (IFR). As a next we need a set of engineering parameters to describe the problems of vibration condition monitoring (VCM) in terms of TRIZ parameters, and a set of inventive principles possible to apply on the way to IFR. This means we should present the machine VCM problem by means of contradiction matrix of TRIZ. When specifying the problem parameters and inventive principles, one should use analogy and metaphorical thinking, which by definition is not exact but fuzzy, and leads sometimes to unexpected results and outcomes. The paper undertakes this important applicational problem and brings some new insight into system and machine VCM problems. It follows from the paper that one can use one set of inventive principles to solve specified contradiction of VCM problem, and also another set of inventive principles to enhance obtained solution.Metodologia TRIZ to obiecujące narzędzie dla rozwiązywania problemów innowacyjnych, bowiem daje możliwość zbliżenia się do rozwiązania idealnego- IFR. Autor napisał kilka prac na ten temat, każda z nich oświetla inny fragment tej metodologii prowadząc do wzbogacenia wniosków. Tym razem pokazano że zasady wynalazcze TRIZ można stosować nie tylko do rozwikłania sprzeczności w parametrach, ale także w tym przypadku kiedy takich sprzeczności nie ma. Wtedy uzyskujemy możliwość polepszenia naszego rozwiązania na drodze do idealnego wyniku końcowego - IFR
