    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    A literature overview of micrometeorological CH4 and N2O flux measurements in terrestrial ecosystems

    The use of micrometeorological (MM) techniques for methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) flux measurements in terrestrial ecosystems is increasing and a general outline which summarizes key results is needed. This work provides an overview of the current status of global flux measurements of CH4 and N2O by MM techniques in terrestrial ecosystems. Published studies were grouped into four main terrestrial land cover categories and the reported flux ranges, the consistency of different MM approaches over the same ecosystem types, the variability of the MM technique performances as regards the flux detection limit and environmental conditions, were analysed. Furthermore, the issue of the comparability between MM and soil chambers measurements was evaluated. The existing dataset, although temporally and spatially limited, shows that CH4 and N2O fluxes are extremely variable in both time and space with mean fluxes spanning within interquartile ranges of 1.33 divided by 5.45, 11.02 divided by 68.48, 5.38 divided by 29.28, 13.87.10(3) divided by 47.60.10(3) nmol CH4 m(-2) s(-1) in forest, wetlands, croplands and artificial lands respectively, and of 0.09 divided by 0.42, 0.24 divided by 1.47, 9.13 divided by 20.89 nmol N2O m(-2) s(-1) in forest, croplands and artificial lands (no published works were found for wetlands). When environmental conditions were comparable, a general agreement of flux ranges was found within each ecosystem type, in particular when estimates were based on accurate footprint analysis. Exceptions were mainly related to site-specific aspects or to particular measurement periods. Not all the measurement set-ups were suitable for all ecosystems, environmental conditions, turbulence characteristics and flux intensity, however the latest technological improvements make the detection of fluxes feasible virtually in all ecosystems. MM studies of CH4 and N2O fluxes were unevenly distributed around the globe and, in particular, were lacking in sensitive areas like Africa, South America and Central Asia. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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
