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
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
ELECTRONIC COOLING OF AIRBUS HELICOPTER CONTROL PANEL
Get PDFThe technological necessities of the modern helicopter are always evolving. However, helicopters themselves are rarely modified to compensate for these new technologies. Because of this, as more precise electrical equipment replaces archaic analog instruments, unexpected issues arise in these older vehicles that were not present before. Temperatures within the helicopter cabin and control panel reach dangerous levels, causing extreme discomfort for the pilot as well as causing equipment failure. To amend this issue, cooling methods must be employed to prevent failure of instrumentation which will also reduce temperatures in the cabin. The primary goal of the project is to create a cooling method that provides the most cooling to the control panel. This report summarizes the computational fluid dynamic simulation results completed and analyzed by the Honors Student, which include various cooling methods that will be reported to Airbus
Evocacion Sentimental de Colombia y de Algunos Escritores Colombianos
No full text I begin by making a categorical confirmation: in this V Meeting of the Word, the hands of Otto Morales Benítez and the Devil must undoubtedly be at work. Because; how can one explain that, in a town in the Colombian province, quite far from easy and comfortable routes, an intelligence festival is taking place? Moreover, it has managed to gather people who have come from the warm Atlantic coasts, like that miracle of light turned into song that is Meira Delmar, who rightfully deserves to carry the denomination of Meira of Colombia, the immortal. And also, from that \u27high and somber Bogotá,\u27 as this vagabond who speaks to you today once sang, has arrived that voice, transparent, simple, and sensitive like a newly born spring, just like the poetry of Maruja Vieira. She has inspired my muse on more than one occasion, from the very first moment I breathed in the invigorating atmosphere of Bogotá, the beloved city of my affection.Comienzo por hacer una confirmación categórica: en este V Encuentro de la Palabra deben andar, sin duda alguna, las manos de Otto Morales Benítez y las del Diablo. Porque; ¿cómo explicar que, en un pueblo de la provincia colombiana, bastante alejado de las rutas fáciles y cómodas, se esté llevando a cabo una fiesta de la inteligencia? Que además, ha logrado reunir a gentes llegadas desde las cálidas costas atlánticas, como ese milagro de luz hecho canción que es Meira Delmar, a la que bien le correspondería llevar con justicia la denominación de Meira de Colombia, la inmortal. Y también ha arribado, desde esa “Bogotá alta y sombría”, como la cantara algún día este vagabundo que hoy os dirige la palabra, esa voz, transparente, sencilla y sensitiva como la de un manantial recién nacido, como lo es la poesía de Maruja Vieira. Ella ha estimulado, en más de una ocasión mi musa, desde el primer momento que respiré la atmósfera tonificante de Bogotá, la bien amada ciudad de mi cariño
