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
Electronic structure tunability of diamonds by surface functionalization
No full textWide-bandgap semiconductors are exploited in several technological fields such as electron emission devices, energy conversion, high-power high-temperature electronics, and electrocatalysis. Their electronic properties vary significantly depending on the functionalization of the surface. Here, we investigated as a proof-of-concept the modulation of the electronic properties of one of the most common wide-bandgap semiconductors, that is, diamonds, to show the tunability of their properties by modifying the surface termination. Photoelectron spectroscopy was used to demonstrate the availability of a wide window of band bending, work function, and electron affinity. The band bending and work function were found to change by up to 360 meV and 2 eV, respectively, by varying the surface from hydrogen- to oxygen-terminated. Because of the negative electron affinity of diamonds, we were able to experimentally show the rigid shift of the whole band structure
The NPL Gonio RAdiometric Spectrometer System (GRASS)
No full textIncreasingly satellites have the capability and requirement to measure surfaces at multiple angles, and additionally, due to the variations in slope angle and aspect, few remotely sensed data sets are immune to multi-angular effects. Since such measurements need to be calibrated or at least validated against real ground data we need to improve the accuracy of multi-angular field measurements. A new instrument has been designed, in conjunction with the Natural Environmental Research Council (UK) Field Spectroscopy Facility (FSF) and the University of Southampton for this purpose. The GonioRAdiometric Spectrometer System (GRASS) has been developed at the National Physical Laboratory, which provides quasi-simultaneous, multi-angle, multi-spectral measurements of Earth surface reflected sunlight to support vicarious calibration of satellite sensors operating in the optical region. The instrument will ultimately be available for use by UK researchers through the FSF to provide data to develop a better understanding of the anisotropy of natural targets, which can be used to reduce errors in climate modelling. It will also be utilised for the characterisation of “reference standard” test sites
