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
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
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
Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface and spectroscopic studies of the noncentrosymmetric Bi(III) halide complex: [C8H12N]3BiCl6
No full textA new organic–inorganic hybrid material with the formula [C8H12N]3BiCl6 has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques and single crystal X-ray structure determination. This compound crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group Pna21 of the orthorhombic system with crystallographic parameters a = 25.5620(2), b = 16.7170(5), c = 7.8840(4) Å, V = 3369.0(2) Å3 and Z = 4. Its structure consists of discrete [BiCl6]3− anions, showing the distorted octahedral geometry, surrounded by three crystallographically independent 2-phenylethylammonium cations. The crystal packing is governed by the formation of a number of N–H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds arranged in a three-dimensional network. Crystal structure analysis supported with the Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots enabled the identification of the significant intermolecular interactions. The 13C and 15N CP-MAS NMR spectra are in agreement with the X-ray structure. The optical properties of [C8H12N]3BiCl6 were investigated by UV–Vis and luminescence spectroscopy. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed that the title compound is stable up to 210 °C
Structural, vibrational, optical properties and theoretical studies of new noncentrosymmetric material: Bis(2-Amino-5-(methylthio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3-ium) pentachloroantimonate
No full textA new non-centrosymmetric Sb(III) halide complex with formula (C3H6N3S2)(2)SbCl5 (complex 1) has been synthesized by reaction between antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) and 2-Amino-5-(methylthio)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (AMT,) in an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that this compound crystallizes in orthorhombic system with the non-centrosymmetric space group Pna2(1). Its crystal structure consists of isolated (C3H6N3S2)(+) cations and square pyramidal shape [SbCl5](2-) anions. The anions are disposed to form a polymeric chain in which each subunit is connected to the others through a Cl bridge. The organic cations are connected to these chains via H-bonding N-H center dot center dot center dot Cl and C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl. The intermolecular interactions which ensure the cohesion between different entities were analyzed by DFT calculations and Hirshfeld surface analysis. Ab-initio DFT calculations were also used to investigate geometric and electronic properties of complex 1 and AMT. Absorption, photoluminescence and infrared spectroscopy have been carried out. DFT calculations with different functionals have been used to gain a better insight into its vibrational and optical properties and a good agreement was found between experiments and calculations. The thermal stability of compound was studied by thermal analysis. Published by Elsevier B.V
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
