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
Multi source image reconstruction: Exploitation of EO-1/ALI in Landsat-7/ETM+ SLC-off gap filling
No full textThe Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) is the sensor payload on the Landsat-7 satellite imager (launched on April 15th, 1999) that is a derivative of the Landsat-4 and 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) land imager sensors. Scan Line Corrector (SLC) malfunctioning appeared onboard on May 31, 2003. The SLC-Off problem was caused by failure of the SLC which compensates for the forward motion of the satellite [1]. As ETM+ is still capable of acquiring images with the SLC-Off mode, the need of applying new techniques and using other data sources to reconstruct the missed data is a challenging for scientists and final users of remotely sensed images. One of the predicted future roles of the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) onboard the Earth Observer One (EO-1) is its ability to offer a potential technological direction for Landsat data continuity missions [2]. In this regard more than the purposes of the work as fabricating the gapped area in the ETM+ the attempt to evaluate the ALI imagery ability is another noticeable point in this work. In the literature there are several techniques and algorithms for gap filling. For instance local linear histogram matching [3], ordinary kriging, and standardized ordinary cokriging [4]. Here we used the Regression Based Data Combination (RBDC) in which it is generally supposed that two data sets (i.e. Landsat/ETM+ and EO-1/ALI) in the same spectral ranges (for instance band 3 ETM+ and band 4 ALI in 0.63 - 0.69 μm) will have meaningful and useable statistical characteristics. Using this relationship the gap area in ETM+ can be filled using EO-1/ALI data. Therefore the process is based on the knowledge of statistical structures of the images which is used to reconstruct the gapped areas. This paper presents and compares four regression based techniques. First two ordinary methods with no improvement in the statistical parameters were undertaken as Scene Based (SB) and Cluster Based (CB) followed by two statistically developed algorithms including Buffer Based (BB) and Weighted Buffer Based (WBB) techniques. All techniques are executed and evaluated over a study area in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The results indicate that the WBB and CB approaches have superiority over the SB and BB methods
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
Analytic Representation of Bayes Labeling and Bayes Clustering Operators for Random Labeled Point Processes
Get PDFClustering algorithms typically group points based on some similarity criterion, but without reference to an underlying random process to make clustering algorithms rigorously predictive. In fact, there exists a probabilistic theory of clustering in the context of random labeled point sets in which clustering error is defined in terms of the process. In the present paper, given an underlying point process we develop a general analytic procedure for finding an optimal clustering operator, the Bayes clusterer, that corresponds to the Bayes classifier in classification theory. We provide detailed solutions under Gaussian models. Owing to computational complexity we also develop approximations of the Bayes clusterer.Fil: Dalton, Lori A..

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
