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
Conception d'un sondeur de canal MIMO - Caractérisation du canal de propagation d'un point de vue directionnel et doublement directionnel

The services concerned by the wireless telecommunications have then been extended to data transmission and multimedia applications. Regarding the necessity of high rates transmission while guaranteeing a certain quality of service, MIMO systems (Multiple Input - Multiple Output) seem very promising. By using several antennas simultaneously at the both sites of communication link, these systems exploit the spatial dimension to transmit information. Thus, the implementation of these techniques permits to achieve a substantial improvement of data rates and digital link performances. As in all system studies, a thorough analysis of the transmission channel and the associated propagation mechanisms proves to be essential. If in a classical context, the channel characterization and modelling can be limited to the time domain, it is then necessary for the MIMO systems to consider the spatial dimension at the same level as the time dimension. A precise and realistic channel modelling in the spatial domain is essential in the MIMO context, because the gain with regard to a classical system in term of rate and/or performance is widely dependent on spatial channel properties. This is the context in which the work is presented in this document. This thesis deals with the design and the realisation of a powerful measurement system allowing a precise characterization of the MIMO propagation channel knowledge for the UMTS application.Depuis l'apparition des premiers réseaux radiomobiles cellulaires analogiques au d´ebut des années 70, nous avons assisté à une explosion de la demande en systèmes de communication sans fil. Les services concernés par les télécommunications sans fil se sont depuis étendus à la transmission de données et aux applications multimédia. Devant la nécessité d'avoir des débits élevés tout en garantissant une certaine qualit´e de service, les techniques MIMO (Multiple Input - Multiple Output) apparaissent comme très prometteuses. En utilisant plusieurs antennes simultanément en émission et en réception, ces systèmes exploitent la dimension spatiale pour la transmission de l'information. Ainsi la mise en oeuvre de ces techniques permet d'aboutir à une amélioration substantielle des débits et/ou des performances des liaisons numériques. Comme dans toutes les études systèmes, une analyse approfondie du canal de transmission et des mécanismes de propagation associés s'avère indispensable. Si dans un contexte classique, la caractérisation et la modélisation du canal peuvent se limiter au domaine temporel, il est n´ecessaire pour les systèmes MIMO de considérer la dimension spatiale au même niveau que la dimension temporelle. Une modélisation précise et réaliste du canal dans le domaine spatial est d'autant plus importante dans un contexte MIMO, puisque le gain par rapport à un système classique en terme de débit et/ou de performance est largement tributaire des propriétés spatiales du canal. C'est dans ce contexte que s'inscrit le travail présenté dans ce document. Cette thèse a pour objectif la conception d'un système de mesure performant permettant d'approfondir la connaissance du canal de propagation MIMO pour la bande UMTS
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
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
