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
THE PHI-PI(+) OMEGA-PI(+) RATIO FROM (N)OVER-BAR-P ANNIHILATIONS
No full textA preliminary study of up three-prong annihilations into the channels K- K+ pi(+) and pi(-)pi(+)pi(+)pi(0) is presented for similar to 100-297 MeV/c () over bar n beam, the OZI rule is strongly violated.

Study of phi pi pi final state in (p)over-bar-p annihilation at rest
No full textphi pi(+)pi(-) production in (p) over bar p annihilation at rest in liquid and gaseous hydrogen at low pressure (5 mbar) is studied in the OBELIX experiment at LEAR (CERN). It is found that this reaction is dominated by the annihilation from the (p) over bar p spin-triplet initial states.

Antiproton stopping power at very low energies
No full textNew data about antiproton annihilations in gaseous targets at very low pressure (0.2 hPa), collected by the OBELIX apparatus at LEAR, show significant differences between H-2 and D-2; the right way to explain these differences seems to be through a nuclear stopping power, as confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations.

Study of the isovector scalar mesons in the channel (p)over-bar-p->K(+/-)K-S(0)pi(-/+) at three hydrogen target densities
No full textThe study of the I = 1,0(++) states with the OBELIX detector in the channel --> (K+/-KS0) pi(-/+) at three different target densities is reported. We discuss in particular the results about a(0)(980) and the evidence of an extra scalar state with mass 1.29 +/- 0.01 GeV/c(2) and width 0.080 +/- 0.005 GeV/c(2).

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
