    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    2(Cy2NH2)2SO4Sn(SO4)2Cy2NH2Cl AND 2(Cy2NH2)2SO4Sn(SO4)22Cy2NH2Cl: SYNTHESIS AND INFRARED STUDY

    2(Cy2NH2)2SO4Sn(SO4)2Cy2NH2Cl and 2(Cy2NH2)2SO4. Sn(SO4)22Cy2NH2Cl complexes have been obtained on allowing Cy2NH2O2C-SO3H and Cy2NH2HSO4 to react respectively with SnBu2Cl2 and SnBu3Cl in specific ratios.The molecular structures of these compounds have been determined on the basis of the infrared data. The suggested structures are dimeric, the tin atom being octacoordinated by four chelating sulfate anions, the monomeric basic entities being connected by hydrogen bonded cation chloride cation strings

    The title compound has been obtained on allowing [C6H3(CO2)3(Et2NH2)3] to react with SnBr4. The molecular structure of Et2NH2C6H3(CO2)3SnBr2.4H2O has been determined on the basis of the infrared data. The suggested structure is a dimer in which each tin atom is hexacoordinated by two chelating C6H3(CO2)33- anions and two Br atoms. Cy2NH2+cations are involved through hydrogen bonds with non-coordinating CO2 groups. The suggested structure is a cage

    (Cy2NH2)2SO4.2SnMe3SO4Cy2NH2; 2(Cy2NH2)2SO4.5SnMe3SO4Cy2NH2: SYNTHESIS AND INFRARED STUDY

    Allowing (Cy2NH2)2.SO4.2H2O or Cy2NH2.HSO4 to react with SnMe3Cl in ethanolic media in two specific ratios the sulphato complexes (mentioned in this paper title) were obtained and their infrared study was carried out. Discrete structures containing the complex-anion [SO4(SO4SnMe3)2]4- consisting of a central bidentate sulphate linked to SnMe3 groups which are then coordinated to monodentate sulphate anions or the complex-anion [(SO4)6(SnMe3)5]7- consisting of planar SnMe3 groups, monodentate or bidentate sulphate anions, these complex-anions dimerizing through cations via hydrogen bonds, are suggested

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    Cy2NH2BzCO2•SnPh3Cl, Bz2NH2BzCO2•SnPh3Cl, BzCO2SnPh3•SnPh3Cl•1/4Bz2NH2Cl, Bz2NH2BzCO2•SnPhCl(OH)2, Bz2NH2BzCO2•SnBu2Cl2, [BzCO2SnPh3][SnPhCl3•EtOH•H2O] adducts and complexes have been obtained on allowing Cy2NH2BzCO2 or Bz2NH2BzCO2•4H2O to react respectively with SnPh3Cl, SnPh2Cl2 or SnBu2Cl2 in specific ratios. The molecular structures of these compounds have been determined on the basis of infrared and NMR data. The suggested structures are discrete, dimers and tetramer, the tin atom being tetra-, penta- and hexacoordinated; the benzyl carboxylate anions are monodentate, bidentate and chelating and the cations involved in hydrogen bonds
