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
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
Specific and combined effects of zoledronic acid and physical exercice in ovariectomized rats
No full textL’objectif de ce travail était d’examiner chez la rate adulte ovariectomisée les effets osseux et sur le métabolisme lipidique de l’acide zolécronique et de l’exercice physique. Dans une première étude, les effets individuels et combinés de l’acide zolédronique 20 µg/kg une injection unique et de l’exercice physique (course dur tapis roulant pendant 12 semaines) ont été examinés sur la densité osseuse au corps entier et au fémur, l’analyse de la microarchitecture trabéculaires, les propriétés biomécaniques et le remodelage osseux. Les résultats montrent globalement que l’acide zolédronique prévient la dégradation microarchitecturale et l’hyperresorption induite par l’ovariectomie, que l’exercice physique maintient partiellement les propriétés biomécaniques et agit sur le remodelage osseux en augmentant la formation osseuse mais qu’aucun bénéfice additionnel ou synergique n’est trouvé sur le squelette osseux de la combinaison des deux interventions. La deuxième étude s’est intéressée aux effets sur le profil lipidique de l’action spécifique et combinée des deux interventions ci-dessus mentionnées. Si l’acide zolédronique et l’exercice de course sur tapis roulant modifient les taux de cholestérol total et de HDL cholestérol dans le sens d’une amélioration du risque d’athérosclérose, leurs effets associés ne sont pas synergiques et ont eu un effet paradoxal inverse possiblement expliqué par un effet pro-inflammatoire de la combinaison des deux interventions.The aim of this study was to investigate in mature ovariectomized rats the effects on bone tissue and on the lipids metabolism of zoledronic acid and physical exercise. In this first study, the individual and combined effects of zoledronic acid (20 µg/kg a single injection) and physical exercise (treadmill running exercise during twelve week) have been examined on whole body and femur bone mineral density, on trabecular microarchitecture analysis, on bone strength parameters and on bone turnover. Results showned globally that zoledronic acid prevented the trabecular microarchitectural changes and the increase in resorption induced by ovariectomy. Treadmill running exercise particully maintained the bone strength and exerted its action by an increase in bone formation. However we dit not found any additive or synergistic effect of the two interventions combined on the rat skeletal status. The second study aimed to assess the specific and combined effects of zoledronic acid and treadmill running exercise on the lipid profile in this model of ovariectomized mature rats. If both zoledronic acid and treadmill running exercise modified total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol with an improvement of the atherosclerosis risk, their combined effects were not synergistic and furthermore they produced a paradoxical inverse effect possibly explained by a pro-inflammatory effect of the two interventions combined
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
