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
Electrochemical characterization of an ambient temperature rechargeable Li battery based on low molecular weight polymer electrolyte
No full textPreliminary applications of low molecular weight polymer electrolyte (PEG) and lithium salt in lithium rechargeable batteries have been reported. The electrochemical characteristics of these electrolytes have been tested by cyclic voltammetry, charge-discharge cycles and ac impedance methods. Surface layers appear to be present on botg electrodes, but they develop upon time with different extension
Progress in lithium polymer battery R&D
No full textIn this paper the characteristics and performance of composite polymer electrolytes formed by dispersing selected ceramic (e.g. gamma -LiAlO2, Al2O3, SiO2) powders in poly(ethylene oxide)-lithium salt (e.g. PEO-LiCF3SO3) matrices, are reported and discussed. Particular emphasis is devoted to the role of these composite electrolytes in providing the conditions for stabilizing the interface with the lithium metal electrode, as well as for enhancing the electrolyte's overall transport properties. Finally, results based on tests of practical prototypes demonstrate that these unique properties allow the development of new types of high performance, rechargeable lithium polymer batteries.

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
