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
Nouveaux types d'électrodes modifiés pour la détection de métaux lourds et leur application dans le domaine pharmaceutique
No full textLe but de cette thèse a été le développement de capteurs électrochimiques en flux, basés sur l'utilisation du feutre de graphite comme électrode de travail pour l'analyse pharmaceutique et environnementale du cuivre (II) et du zinc (II), deux métaux lourds essentiels pour l'homéostasie de l'organisme humain, mais toxiques en excès. Pour la détection des ions zinciques (II), une cellule d'analyse en flux, bien adaptée pour l'utilisation du feutre de graphite utilisé comme électrode de travail a été élaborée. Les conditions analytiques ont été optimisées et ont conduit à la détection du zinc (II) avec de bonnes sensibilités. Ces résultats montrent l'intérêt de réaliser en flux l'étape de pré-concentration pour augmenter la cinétique d'électrodéposition. Nous avons réalisé une étude complète sur une électrode en feutre de graphite modifiée par réduction d'un sel de diazonium, conduisant à la formation d'un film organique ayant une forte affinité pour les ions cuivriques. L'électrode modifiée combinée avec une étape de pré-concentration en flux permet la réalisation d'un capteur d'ions Cu2+ avec une grande sensibilité et une bonne sélectivité. Nous avons développé, aussi, un capteur électrochimique en flux pour l'analyse des traces d'ions cuivriques à l'aide d'une électrode en feutre de graphite modifiée avec un récepteur capable de complexer de façon sélective les ions de cuivre (II) dans des solutions aqueuses. Enfin, nous avons testé la détection électrochimique du cuivre (II) à l'aide d'électrodes modifiées bidimensionnelles, CPE et SPE. Les résultats préliminaires montrent une bonne capacité de ces électrodes pour la complexation et la détection des ions cuivriques (II).The scope of this thesis was the development of flow electrochemical sensors, based on the use of graphite felt as a working electrode for the pharmaceutical and environmental analysis of zinc (II) and copper (II) ions, two heavy metals essential for the homeostasis of the human organism, but toxic if found in excess. For the detection of zinc (II) ions, a custom made flow cell was developed, well suited for the use of a graphite felt as working electrode in anodic stripping voltammetry analyses. The analytical conditions were optimized, leading to the detection of zinc with good sensitivities. These results prove the capacity of the preconcentration in flow to increase the kinetics of electrodeposition. A complet study on a graphite felt electrode modified by reduction of a diazonium salt, resulting in the formation of an organic film with high affinity for copper (II) ions was performed. The modified electrode combined with a flow preconcentration step allowed the achievement of a Cu2+ sensor with high sensitivity and good selectivity. We developed, also, a flow electrochemical sensor, allowing the analysis of traces of copper (II) ions, using a graphite felt electrode modified with a ligand proved to be able to selectively complex the copper (II) in aqueous solutions. Finally, we tested the electrochemical detection of zinc (II) and copper (II) ions by using modified bi-dimensional electrodes, CPE and SPE. Preliminary results show a good capacity of these modified electrodes for the complexation and detection of the copper (II) ions
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
