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
Ki volt a Budavári Alagút tervezője? Who was the designer of the Budavár Tunnel? / Cine a proiectat tunelul Budavár?
Get PDFFor the citizens the functionality of engineering constructions is more important than the identity of their designer. But who is the creator of an engineering construction? Is it the designer or the person who makes the plan, the intellectual work transformed into drawings, become reality? In fact, both of them are creators, but the plan is always a pre-condition of the building. The important question is whose name is remembered by the coming generations?Few people know that the designer of the Eiffel Tower (built in 1888-89) was not engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923) as many believe, but a young Alsatian-Swiss engineer working in the Eiffel Engineering Office, called Maurice Koechlin (1856-1946). He got his degree at the Zurich technical university, just as János Feketeházy who designed the majority of Hungary's bridges. Feketeházy was the designer of the Szeged downtown bridge as well, which was believed to be an Eiffel-design by the citizens for half a century, but he also designed the huge industrial complex in Budapest-Kőbánya which is known today as Eiffel-Hall, utilized by the Hungarian State Opera.According to many professional books on the topic, the Buda Castle Tunnel was built as the continuation of the Széchenyi Chain Bridge's track to make the Budapest-Déli railway station in Krisztinaváros (in Buda) easily accessible for anyone travelling from the Pest-side of the city. We know that the designer of the Chain Bridge (plans made in 1838-39) was the English engineer William Tierney Clark (1783-1852) and the construction works (cofferdam construction from 1839, bridge construction in 1842-49) were led by the Scottish engineer Adam Clark (1811-1866). We also know that after handing over the bridge to the public, Adam Clark returned to London, then after the construction of a few more bridges (Pirna, Leitmeritz, Wien) he settled down in Hungary. His last big work was the construction of the Buda Castle Tunnel (handed over on 30th April, 1857), to which the construction plans were also made by himself. But can we consider him as the designer of the Buda Castle Tunnel? Both of the above assumptions are incorrect.The plan of the tunnel preceded not just the start of the first Hungarian railway line (test run: 10 November 1845, between Pest-Rákospalota, start of passenger traffic: 17 July 1847 on the Pest-Vác line), but also the construction plans of the Chain Bridge and the start of the passenger traffic on the bridge as well (20 November 1849).But who was the real designer then if not the person who made the construction plans based on the earlier approved plans? The answer is not simple and not unambiguous since the coming generations forgot about the identity of the real designer and gave this tile to Adam Clark. We try to explore the precedents and the names connected to the different plan versions, but in the end, considering that several plan versions became known, we have to admit that the constructor is to be thanked for the final form of the construction, irrespective of the authors of the plan concepts.
Rezumat
Pentru persoanele care folosesc lucrări de inginerie, relevanța acestora este importantă și mai puțin creatorul. Dar cine este creatorul unei structuri? Este proiectantul sau persoana care implementează planul? De fapt, ambele sunt, dar existența acestuia din urmă este condiționată de existența primului. Dar numele căreia se păstrează pentru posteritate? Puțini oameni știu că proiectantul turnului Eiffel (construit în 1888-89), contrar credinței populare, nu a fost Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (1832–1923), un antreprenor în construcții, ci un tânăr inginer alsacian-elvețian care lucra pentru Eiffel, Maurice Koechlin (1856–1946), care a absolvit aceeași Universitate Tehnică din Zurich ca János Feketeházy, care a proiectat cele mai multe poduri în Ungaria. Știm că a proiectat și podul din centrul orașului Szeged, despre care populația crezuse timp de jumătate de secol că este planul lui Eiffel, precum a construit și imensul complex industrial de hale din Budapesta-Kőbánya, care astăzi este folosit de Opera de Maghiară se Stat ca Sala Eiffel. Conform mai multor cărți tehnice, tunelul Budavár a fost construit ca o continuare a podului Széchenyi pentru a oferi acces rapid din partea Pest la Gara de Sud din Buda. Știm că podul cu lanțuri (1838–1839) a fost proiectat de William Tierney Clark (1783–1852), un inginer englez, și construcția (construcția barajului din 1839, construcția podului 1842–49) de către inginerul scoțian Adam Clark (1811–1866). Știm că Adam Clark s-a întors la Londra după intrarea în funcțiune a podului, dar după construirea unor poduri (Pirna, Leitmeritz, Viena) s-a instalat în Ungaria, iar ultima sa lucrare importantă a fost construcția tunelului Budavár (inaugurată la 30 aprilie 1857). Dar poate fi considerat cu adevărat drept designerul tunelului Budavár? Ambele ipoteze de mai sus sunt incorecte.Proiectarea tunelului a precedat timp de mai mulți ani prima linie feroviară maghiară (testul între Pest-Rákospalota la 10 noiembrie 1845, începerea traficului de pasageri pe linia Pest-Vác la 17 iulie 1847), dar bineînțeles și planificarea efectivă a podului cu lanțuri și începutul traficului (20 noiembrie 1849). Dar cine a avut concepția, deoarece în mod evident nu a aparținut persoanei care a pregătit mai târziu planurile de realizare pe baza planurilor aprobate anterior? Răspunsul nu este simplu și lipsit de ambiguitate, întrucât posteritatea nu a păstrat niciun nume în calitate de designer și a acordat acest titlu lui Adam Clark. Încercăm să descoperim numele persoanelor care pot fi atribuite variantelor de plan și, în sfârșit, recunoaștem că forma finală, indiferent de autorul conceptelor de plan, se datorează implementatorului.
Kivonat
A mérnöki alkotásokat használó lakosság számára annak megfelelősége a fontos és kevésbé érdekes az alkotó személye. De ki egy építmény alkotója? A tervező, vagy az, aki a tervet, a rajzokba transzformált szellemi alkotást a gyakorlatban megvalósítja? Valójában mindkettő, de az utóbbi létezésének feltétele az előbbi megléte. De mégis kinek a nevét őrzi meg az utókor?Kevés ember tudja, hogy az Eiffel torony (épült 1888–89-ben) tervezője a közhiedelemmel ellentétben nem Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (1832–1923) mérnök, építési vállalkozó volt, hanem egy, az Eiffel Irodában dolgozó ifjú elzászi-svájci mérnök, Maurice Koechlin (1856–1946), aki ugyanazon a Zürichi Műszaki Egyetemen szerzett diplomát, mint a legtöbb magyarországi hidat tervező Feketeházy János. Róla tudjuk, hogy azt a szegedi belvárosi hidat is ő tervezte, amit fél évszázadon át Eiffel-tervnek gondolt a lakosság és azt a hatalmas Budapest-Kőbányán álló ipari csarnok-komplexumot is, amit ma a Magyar Állami Operaház Eiffel-csarnok néven hasznosít.Több szakkönyvben az olvasható, hogy a Budavári Alagút azért épült a Széchenyi Lánchíd nyomvonalának folytatásaként, hogy a pesti oldalról gyorsan elérhető legyen a budai Krisztina-városban épült Déli pályaudvar. Tudjuk, hogy a Lánchíd tervezője (terv 1838–1839) William Tierney Clark (1783–1852) angol mérnök volt és a kivitelezést (zárógát építése 1839-től, hídépítés 1842–49) Adam Clark (1811–1866) skót mérnök vezette. Tudjuk, hogy a híd használatba vételét követően Adam Clark visszatért Londonba, majd néhány híd (Pirna, Leitmeritz, Bécs) megépítése után Magyarországon telepedett le és utolsó nagy műve a Budavári Alagút kivitelezése (átadva 1857. április 30-án) volt, melyhez maga készített kiviteli (megvalósulási vagy realizációs) tervrajzokat. De valóban ő tekinthető-e (az akkori nevén a budai Váralagút) tervezőjének? Mindkét fentebbi feltételezés téves.Az alagút terve sok évvel megelőzte az első magyarországi vasút megindulását (próbaút 1845. november 10. Pest-Rákospalota között, Pest-Vác vonalon a személyforgalom megindulása 1847. július 17-én), de a megvalósult Lánchíd tényleges tervezését és természetesen a Lánchídon a közúti forgalom kezdetét (1849. november 20.) is.De kié volt a koncepció, mivel nyilván nem azé, aki a korábban jóváhagyott tervek alapján később a kiviteli terveket készítette? A válasz nem egyszerű és nem egyértelmű, mivel az utókor köztudata nem őrzött meg tervezőként egy nevet sem, egyértelműen ezt a címet Adam Clarknak ajándékozta.
Megpróbáljuk feltárni az előzményeket, a terv-változatokhoz rendelhető neveket, végül elismerjük, hogy mivel több tervváltozat vált ismertté, a végső forma a tervkoncepciók szerzőségétől függetlenül a megvalósítónak köszönhető.
 
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
FEKETEHÁZY János életpályája: The Career of János FEKETEHÁZY / Carera lui János FEKETEHÁZY
Get PDFThis paper shows the life and work of engineer János Feketeházy, an outstanding personality of the late 19th century in building rail and road bridges in Hungary. Noted among the railway bridges are the ones on the Tisza at Szolnok and Poroszlo; and on the Danube at Baja. He also designed the road bridge on the Tisza at Szeged, the bridges of Komárom (Erzsébet-híd = Elizabeth Bridge) and the Szabadság-híd (Liberty Bridge) in Budapest over the Danube among others. Some elements of civil construction, such as the roof of the "Keleti pályaudvar" (Eastern Railway Station) also in Budapest shall also be attributed to him. We owe him a series of remarkable technical innovations in the field.
Rezumat
Lucraea prezintă viața și opera inginerului János Feketeházy, o personalitate de excepție a sfârșitului secolului 19. în domeniul construcției podurilor feroviare și rutiere din Ungaria. Dintre podurile feroviare se remarcă cele de pe Tisa la Szolnok și Poroszló, sau cea de pe Dunărea de la Baja. Tot el a proiectat podul rutier de pe Tisa de la Szeged (Seghedin), podurile de pe Dunărea de la Komárom (Erzsébet-híd = Podul Elisabeta) și Szabadság-híd (Podul Libertății) din Budapesta, dar și altele. I-se atribuie și câteva elemente de construcții civile, cum este acoperișul gării Keleti pțlyaudvar (Gara de Est) tot din Budapesta. Îi datorăm și o serie de inovații tehnice remarcabile în domeniu
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
