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
Generating the novel analytical solutions of the system of partial differential equations with Conformable, M-truncated and Beta derivatives
No full textIn recent years, plenty of real-life problems have been modeled utilizing nonlinear partial differentialequations. Furthermore, some of the nonlinear partial differential equations for exploring novel traits of real-lifeproblems have been altered. In the past several decades, several researchers have analyzed that fractional differential equations are one of the best ways of clarifying real-life problems along with different engineering fieldssuch as sensors, actuators, and many more. In this research, we study the novel traveling wave solutions and othersolutions with conformable, M-truncated, and beta fractional derivatives for the nonlinear fractional system. Theexact solutions of this system are acquired utilizing Riccati-Bernoulli sub-ODE method. A comparative approachis presented between the solutions with the fractional derivatives. For the validity of the solutions, the constraintsconditions are determined. The 2D and 3D graphs of the acquired solutions are successfully charted by selectingappropriate values of parameters.</p
On soliton solutions of some nonlinear Schrödinger equations
No full textNonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLSEs) arise in diverse areas such as engineering, biological andphysical sciences. The obtaining of the exact solutions for various models represented by NLSEs has also a principal role in fluid dynamics, plasma, nuclear physics, and nonlinear optics. Especially, soliton solutions from thesesolutions have received quite an attention from researchers. In this study, we implement the Riccati-BernoulliSub ODE method in reporting the exact solutions of two nonlinear physical models. Therefore, for the equations,some singular periodic waves, dark and singular optical solitons solutions are derived. It can be reported that allsolutions produced in this study satisfy the equation by replacing it in the corresponding main equation. Utilizingsuitable values of the parameters, some of the obtained solutions are illustrated by three-dimensional (3D) andtwo-dimensional (2D) graphs with the help of the MAPLE software in order to demonstrate the importance in thereal-world of the presented equations.</p
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
On solitary wave solutions for the perturbed chen lee liu equation via an analytical approach
No full textIn this paper, the perturbed Chen–Lee–Liu equation is presented. Sardar subequation method is implemented to retrieve the novel analytical solutions of the given equation. Therefore, some of the optical solitons and other solutions are acquired; besides, constraint conditions are given to guarantee the existence of the obtained solutions. Finally, some of the produced solutions are plotted by the three-dimensional (3D), contour, and two-dimensional (2D) graphs using the suitable values of parameters with the help of the Mathematica in order to indicate the significance of the presented equation
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
