Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Measurement of the B ± production cross-section in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe production of B ± mesons in proton-proton collisions at s = 7 TeV is studied using 35 pb−1 of data collected by the LHCb detector. The B ± mesons are reconstructed exclusively in the B ± → J/ψK ± mode, with J/ψ → μ + μ −. The differential production cross-section is measured as a function of the B ± transverse momentum in the fiducial region 0 < p T < 40 GeV/c and with rapidity 2.0 < y < 4.5. The total cross-section, summing up B + and B −, is measured to be σ(pp → B ± X, 0 < p T < 40 GeV/c, 2.0 < y < 4.5) = 41.4 ± 1.5 (stat.) ± 3.1 (syst.) μb
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Measurement of the b-hadron production cross section using decays to D∗ +μ −X final states in pp collisions at √<span style="text-decoration:overline">s</span>=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
No full textThe b-hadron production cross section is measured with the ATLAS detector in pp collisions at
√<span style="text-decoration:overline">s</span>=7 TeV, using 3.3 pb−1
of integrated luminosity, collected during the 2010 LHC run. The b-hadrons
are selected by partially reconstructing D∗+μ
−X final states. Differential cross sections are measured as
functions of the transverse momentum and pseudorapidity. The measured production cross section for a
b-hadron withpT
>9 GeV and |η|<2.5 is 32.7±0.8(stat.)+4.5
−6.8
(syst.) µb, higher than the next-to-leadingorder QCD predictions but consistent within the experimental and theoretical uncertainties
Measurement of the differential cross-section of B+ meson production in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV at ATLAS
No full textThe production cross-section of B+ mesons is measured as a function of transverse momentum p T and rapidity y in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energy root s = 7 TeV, using 2.4 fb(-1) of data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The differential production cross-sections, determined in the range 9 GeV < p(T) < 120 GeV and vertical bar y vertical bar < 2.25, are compared to next-to-leading-order theoretical predictions
Cross-Cultural Meta-Analyses
No full textIn the enormous collection of cross-cultural data that have been published during the last few decades it is difficult to perceive patterns. There is a clear need for systematizing the vast amount of cross-cultural studies and for developing models that explain cross-cultural differences in psychology. Two methods of cross-cultural meta-analysis can be distinguished. First, the instrument-based method of comparing data for one instrument across countries is suitable for instruments which have been administered in many countries. Second, a domain-based meta-analysis used a thematic domain from which culture-comparative studies are sampled instead of one specific instrument or method
