The recent improvements on circulation of research results at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency
No full textThe sharing of information about scientific research results on the Internet has developed with the current global advancement of open science, including archiving and disseminating scientific papers in institutional repositories, facilitating access to and use of research data etc. Accessibility to such large volumes of information on the Internet is a very important issue. Without solving the accessibility issue, those contents may remain grey literature. This paper introduces the case study of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) Library as an example of its efforts to improve the circulation of research results in terms of grey literature. JAEA has disseminated information of our research results via the Internet for over decade, but three main issues remain to be solved, aimed at improving the accessibility of grey literature in the open science era; (1) to ensure accessibility of our Internet contents, (2) to consider how our target users find our contents, (3) to improve the user interface of our contents. Finally, we consider enriching the contents of the JAEA Reports and accelerating the circulation of the JAEA R&D results by paying attention to the global trend of open science.Includes: Conference preprint, Powerpoint presentation, Abstract and Biographical notesXAInternationa
日本原子力研究開発機構における研究開発成果情報の管理・発信; 研究者に関する情報を中心に
No full text日本原子力研究開発機構(JAEA)では、JAEAの研究者等が成果発表や特許申請の決裁手続きを電子的に行う際に入力した情報をベースとして、研究開発成果情報を管理し、機関リポジトリを通じて発信を行っている。このうち、掲載資料や発表会議,研究者などの情報は名寄せし、典拠コントロールを行うことで、効率的かつ効果的な研究開発成果情報の管理・発信を実現している。本稿では、このうち研究者に関する情報にスポットを当て、その典拠コントロールを中心に紹介するとともに、researchmapを通じて新たに開始する研究者情報発信の取り組みや、今後の課題や展望について述べる。The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) manages R\&D results information and disseminates it through an institutional repository, based on the information which researchers at JAEA input electronically for the approval process for posting R\&D results and patent application. JAEA manages and disseminates R\&D results efficiently and effectively by authority control for information on conferences, materials, and researchers, etc. In this article, we will focus on the information about researchers, introduce our authority control, describe the newly researcher information dissemination efforts through researchmap, and describe future issues and prospects
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
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
