Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Context-guided Prompt Learning for Continual WSI Classification
Full text linkWhole Slide Images (WSIs) are crucial in histological diagnostics, providing high-resolution insights into cellular structures. In addition to challenges like the gigapixel scale of WSIs and the lack of pixel-level annotations, privacy restrictions further complicate their analysis. For instance, in a hospital network, different facilities need to collaborate on WSI analysis without the possibility of sharing sensitive patient data. A more practical and secure approach involves sharing models capable of continual adaptation to new data. However, without proper measures, catastrophic forgetting can occur. Traditional continual learning techniques rely on storing previous data, which violates privacy restrictions. To address this issue, this paper introduces Context Optimization Multiple Instance Learning (CooMIL), a rehearsal-free continual learning framework explicitly designed for WSI analysis. It employs a WSI-specific prompt learning procedure to adapt classification models across tasks, efficiently preventing catastrophic forgetting. Evaluated on four public WSI datasets from TCGA projects, our model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods within the WSI-based continual learning framework.

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
Il "De apparatu Patavini hastiludii" di Lodovico Lazzarelli tra storia e mito: evidenze grafiche e paratestuali
No full textThis paper focuses on some graphic and paratextual features of the mss. of "De
apparatu Patavini hastiludii" by Lodovico Lazzarelli (San Severino Marche, 1447-1500) in relation to the mythological and historical content of the work. "De apparatu" is an epic-mythological poem about a tournament of armed riders organised by the universitas iuristarum of Padua in 1467. The hastiludium was animated by mythologycal-themed chariots, which Lazzarelli described in digressions inspired by classical models, especially Ovid. The poem is preserved in ten manuscripts, mostly from the 15th century, and the editio princeps was printed in 1629. In some manuscripts datable to the 15th century, the comparisons with myth are highlighted by notabilia and by the marginal expression "comparatio"; a certain mythological erudition also emerges from the glosses of manuscript 1393 of the Civic Library of Verona. On the other hand, in the Paduan mss. the names of the historical characters mentioned in "De apparatu" are highlighted by various graphic devices: therefore, these witnesses seem to be more interested in local history than in mythological contents. The manuscript London, British Library Arundel 212, which supplies missing names or surnames as marginalia, is particularly useful for prosopographical investigation. This codex belonged to Johannes Pirckheimer of Nuremberg, who graduated in law in Padua in 1465 and is likely to have met some of the jousters mentioned. The analysis of the graphic and paratextual aspects of the witnesses of Lodovico Lazzarelli’s "De apparatu Patavini hastiludii" will therefore help to clarify the context of production, circulation and fruition of the work, in order to make an initial assessment of its fortune and reception
