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
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
Stress photooxydatif et mécanismes de tolérance en réponse à un herbicide, le clomazone, chez deux variétés de tabac (Nicotiana tabacum L.)
No full textThe effect of low doses of clomazone 2-(2-chlorobenzyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1,2-oxazolidin-3-one, a non-selective herbicide of the isoxazolidinone family, has been already determined in Nicotiana tabacum L. The plantlets of two varieties of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi; Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Virginie vk51) were subjected to low concentrations of clomazone (1, 10−1, 10−2, 10−3, 10−4 and 10−5) µM in a hydroponic system. The photosynthetic electron transport has been studied by analyzing the rapid kinetics of chlorophyll a fluorescence and measuring changes in the chloroplast oxygen evolution. The results showed that clomazone at concentrations of 1, 10−1, 10−2, 10−3 and 10−4 µM affected several parameters of chlorophyll a fluorescence and OJIP test (Fv/Fm, PIabs, 1-VJ, ABS/RC, TR0/RC, DI0/RC, ET0/RC and ET0/ABS). Clomazone at 1 µM led to a large accumulation of H2O2 in Virginie variety inducing programmed cell death. Our results show that Xanthi variety has a higher tolerance to clomazone as compared to Virginie, this can be explained by increasing the efficiency of electron transport beyond QA− (1–VJ) as well as improving the function of antioxidant enzymes (APX and MDHAR). The pretreatment of Virginie plantlets (three leaf stage) with alternation of short cycles (16 min/ 8min) of light/dark (AL) for three days, has improved its tolerance to clomazone toxicity. This pretreatment stimulated ROS-detoxification systems by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the biosynthesis of antioxidant compounds such as ascorbate acid and phenolic compounds, and consequently reduced the level of programmed cell death (PCD) provoked by the stress photooxydatif. It is suggested that the stimulation of alternative pathways of electron dissipation, such as the photorespiration, as well as changes in the circadian cycle, are primarily involved in the acquisition of the tolerance. This effect so-called "priming" has maintained during the growth of tobacco and has been revealed by increases in the growth and net photosynthesis until the flowering stage.Les effets de faibles doses de clomazone 2-(2-chlorobenzyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1,2-oxazolidin-3-one, un herbicide non-sélectif de la famille des isoxazolidinones, ont été étudiés chez Nicotiana tabacum L. De faibles concentrations de clomazone (1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001 et 0.00001 µM), ont été appliquées chez deux variétés de tabac (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi; Nicotiana tabacum L. cv.Virginie vk51) cultivées en hydroponie. Le transport d'électrons photosynthétiques a été étudié par l'analyse de la cinétique rapide de fluorescence chlorophyllienne et par la mesure de l'évolution de l'oxygène chloroplastique. Les résultats ont montré que le clomazone à des concentrations de 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001et 0.0001 µM, affecte les paramètres JIP (Fv/Fm, PIabs, 1–VJ, ABS/RC, TR0/RC, DI0/RC, ET0/RC et ET0/ABS). Le clomazone à une concentration de 1 µM, conduit à une importante accumulation de H2O2 chez Virginie induisant la mort cellulaire programmée (PCD). Nos résultats montrent que la variété Xanthi présente une tolérance plus importante au clomazone que la variété Virginie, ce qui peut s'expliquer par une meilleure efficacité du transport d'électrons au delà de QA, ainsi qu'une amélioration du fonctionnement du système antioxydant enzymatique (APX et MDHAR). Le prétraitement des plantules de la variété Virginie par une alternance de cycles courts de lumière/obscurité (16 min/ 8min) pendant trois jours lorsque les plantules sont au stade de trois feuilles, a amélioré leur tolérance face à la toxicité du clomazone. Ce prétraitement induit l'activation des systèmes de détoxification des ERO via l'augmentation des activités des enzymes antioxydants et la biosynthèse de composés antioxydants tels que l'ascorbate et les composés phénoliques et réduit le niveau de mort cellulaire programmée, induit par le stress photooxydatif. Il est supposé que la stimulation des voies alternatives de dissipation des électrons, telle que la photorespiration, ainsi que les modifications du cycle circadien, soient prioritairement impliquées dans l'acquisition de la tolérance. Cet effet dit de "priming" se maintient tout au long de la croissance du tabac et se manifeste par une augmentation de la croissance et de la photosynthèse nette qui perdure jusqu'au stade de la floraison

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
