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
fmalmeida/ngs-preprocess: A pipeline for preprocessing NGS data
No full textThis version marks the change from Nextflow DSL 1 to Nextflow DSL 2.
This change will make it easier for users to customize the pipeline in their own way
fmalmeida/ngs-preprocess: A pipeline for preprocessing NGS data from multiple sequencing platforms
No full text<p>This pipeline was developed to encapsulate different software in order to create a custom and easy way to preprocess reads from Illumina, Pacbio and ONT sequencig platforms.</p>
fmalmeida/ngs-preprocess: A pipeline for preprocessing short and long sequencing reads
No full textThe pipeline
ngs-preprocess is built using Nextflow, a workflow tool to run tasks across multiple compute infrastructures in a very portable manner. It uses Docker/Singularity containers making installation trivial and results highly reproducible. It is an easy to use pipeline that uses state-of-the-art software for quality check and pre-processing ngs reads of Illumina, Pacbio and Oxford Nanopore Technologies
Bacannot database
No full textThis zipped tarball (.tar.gz) contains a pre-built database for Bacannot (https://github.com/fmalmeida/bacannot)
fmalmeida/bacannot: A pipeline for an easy but comprehensive annotation of prokaryotic genomes
No full textThe pipeline
bacannot, is a customisable, easy to use, pipeline that uses state-of-the-art software for comprehensively annotating prokaryotic genomes having only Docker and Nextflow as dependencies. It is able to annotate and detect virulence and resistance genes, plasmids, genomic islands, prophages, ICEs, KO, and more.When downloading the pipeline please use the latest github or nextflow repositories. Do not download the data from Zenodo since it does not keep track of minor changes between releases
