    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

Standard sand, cement and water were used as aggregates in normal concrete from the produced concretes. In the other 2 concrete types, graphene oxide was used by replacing 2% and 4% cement with cement. Radiation permeability tests of produced concretes Süleyman Demirel University Faculty of Arts and Sciences Department of Physics Nuclear Physics Department. It was done by using gamma spectroscopy system with NaI(Tl) detector in the Gamma Spectroscopy Laboratory. As a result of the measurements, linear attenuation coefficient (μ) results were obtained for 662, 1173 and 1332 keV gamma energies broadcast from 137Cs and 60Co radioactive sources.

    Hidroksiapatit, diş minesinin mineral kısmının ana bileşenidir. Bu yapıda karbonat iyonları gibi bazı safsızlıklar kuvvetli bir şekilde gözlenebilir. İyonlaştırıcı radyasyon hidroksiapatit tarafından emildiğinde, radyasyondan dolayı birkaç paramanyetik tür oluşabilir. Bu nedenle, bu radikal türlerinin hidroksiapatit yapısındaki değişikliklerdeki rolünü anlamak için çeşitli spektroskopik teknikler kullanılmaktadır. Elektron spin rezonans (ESR), paramanyetik radikalleri araştırmak için kullanılan bir manyetik rezonans tekniğidir. Radyasyona bağlı radikallerin konsantrasyonu genellikle radyasyon dozu ile orantılıdır ve ESR bu radikalleri ölçmek için kullanılan en hassas yöntemlerden biridir. Bu çalışmada, gama ışınları ile ışınlanmış arkeolojik diş minesi üzerinde ESR analizleri yapılmış ve paramanyetik radikaller belirlenmiştir. Burada, uygun ESR ölçümlerinin yapılabilmesi amacıyla diş minesi numunesi mineyi ayırma, temizleme ve mekanik olarak öğütme aşamalarını içerecek şekilde hazırlanmıştır. Numune hazırlama işleminden sonra elde edilen mine parçaları 60Co-gamma kaynağı ile yapay olarak ışınlanmış ve daha sonra elde edilen uygun spektrometre koşulları ile X-Band ESR spektrometresi kullanılarak oda sıcaklığında spektrumları kaydedilmiştir. Elde edilen tüm spektrum sonuçları, ışınlama ile diş minesinde anizotropik g değerlerine ve eksensel bir simetriye sahip kararlı CO2 - radikalinin oluştuğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca, ESR spektrumları, radikal merkezinden kaynaklanan sinyal genliklerinin radyasyon dozlarının bir fonksiyonu olarak büyüdüğünü ortaya çıkarmıştır.The hydroxyapatite is the main constituent of the mineral part of tooth enamel. In this structure, some impurities such as carbonate ions can be observed strongly. When ionizing radiation is absorbed in hydroxyapatite, several paramagnetic species can occur due to radiation. So, various spectroscopic techniques are used to the understanding of the role of these radical species in the changes of hydroxyapatite structure. The electron spin resonance (ESR) is a magnetic resonance technique which is used to investigate the paramagnetic radicals. The concentration of radiation-induced radicals is generally proportional to the radiation dose and ESR is the most sensitive method to measure these radicals. In this work, ESR analyses were performed on gamma irradiated archaeological tooth enamel and paramagnetic radicals were determined. For this purpose, tooth enamel sample was prepared for making suitable ESR measurements with including the following steps: separation, cleaning and grinding mechanically enamel. After sample preparation, obtained samples were irradiated by 60Co-gamma source artificially and then ESR measurements were carried out at room temperature using X-Band ESR spectrometer with obtained optimal spectrometer conditions. The results of all obtained spectra showed that the stable CO2 - radical which has anisotropic g values and an axial peak was generated in the tooth enamel by irradiation. Moreover, the ESR spectra revealed that the signal amplitudes due to the radical center were growing up as a function of radiation doses

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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
