Using Contextual Information with Dynamic Linkbases to Provide Adaptive Hypermedia
This report provides an overview of the work that the author has conducted into the field of adaptive hypermedia systems. This work produced an agent-based adaptive link augmentation system that was presented at the first adaptive hypermedia conference. The knowledge gained from creating this system has been combined with context research to produce a system for augmenting links based on a document’s spatial context. These links are provided from a collection of linkbases, which are activated on demand. Presented with this work is an overview of the history of AH, including a description of some of the pivotal AH, recommender and knowledge delivery systems. The report concludes with the author’s view of the future for this research, including a work plan covering the next 16 months
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
