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
Compréhension et modélisation des mécanismes de désactivation d’un catalyseur de méthanation de CO2 au sein d’un réacteur-échangeur milli-structuré à lit fixe
No full textPower-to-SNG aims at storing the renewable electric surplus as SNG (Substitute Natural Gas) via the CO2 methanation reaction with a solid catalyst. For the purpose of the SNG direct injection into the gas network, high conversion rates are needed. Nevertheless, over time, the catalyst deactivates and the SNG may no longer meet the gas network injection specifications. In this work, a methodology is developed to understand the main deactivation mechanisms of a commercial catalyst (Ni/Al2O3) in a milli-structured fixed-bed reactor-heat exchanger in order to model them. Deactivation is dealt with at different experimental scales. A kinetic model and deactivation laws are identified and subsequently implemented in an already existing multi-scale reactor model. Finally, the simulation results are compared with experimental deactivation results obtained at the scale of the milli-structured reactor.Le Power-to-SNG est un procédé permettant de stocker le surplus d’énergie électrique renouvelable sous forme de SNG (Substitute Natural Gas) via la réaction de méthanation de CO2, catalysée par un catalyseur solide. Dans le but d’une injection directe du SNG dans le réseau de gaz, il est nécessaire d’obtenir des taux de conversion élevés. Néanmoins, au cours du temps, le catalyseur se désactive et il est alors possible que le gaz produit ne respecte plus les spécifications d’injection dans le réseau de gaz. Dans ces travaux, une méthodologie est mise en place pour comprendre les principaux mécanismes de désactivation d’un catalyseur commercial (Ni/Al2O3) intervenant au sein d’un réacteur-échangeur milli-structuré à lit fixe afin de les modéliser. Elle consiste à aborder la désactivation du catalyseur sous un angle expérimental à différentes échelles. Un modèle cinétique ainsi que des lois de désactivation sont identifiés et sont par la suite implémentés dans un modèle de représentation du réacteur déjà existant. Finalement, les résultats de simulation sont confrontés aux résultats de désactivation expérimentaux obtenus à l’échelle du réacteur milli-structuré
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
