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
STRUCTURE AND VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCIES OF THE MOLECULAR TRICHLOROMETHANESULFONIC ACID AND ITS ANION FROM AB-INITIO CALCULATIONS
No full textThe equilibrium structure, vibrational frequencies, and the infrared intensities of the trichloromethanesulfonic acid molecule and its anion have been investigated using the ab initio self-consistent Hartree-Fock method and second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory with the 6-31G** and lower basis sets. A normal mode analysis shows that, unlike CCl3 stretchings, the SO3 stretching vibrations in the CCl3SO3- anion are pure normal modes comprised of S-O stretching coordinates only. The molecular point group for the trichloromethanesulfonic acid molecule is C-1 and not C-s. The vibrational frequencies and the infrared intensities are sensitive to the basis set choice as well as to the electron correlation effects.</p
AB-INITIO VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCIES OF THE TRIFLIC ACID MOLECULE
No full textThe optimized geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and infrared intensities of the trifluoromethanesulfonic (triflic) acid, CF3SO2OH, have been determined by ab initio self-consistent Hartree-Fock calculations and second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory with 6-31G** and lower basis sets. The optimized geometry of the triflic acid molecule is in good agreement with that reported from electron diffraction experiments. The overall symmetry for the molecule, however, is C1, and not C(s) as suggested from the experiments. The symmetric CF3 and SO2 stretching vibrational modes of the triflic acid are seen to be reversed compared to the assignment from the infrared spectra, reported earlier in the literature. The CF3 stretchings and the O=S=O bending normal modes include strong couplings of different internal coordinates. The vibrational frequencies and the infrared intensities are sensitive to the basis set choice as well as to electron correlation effects.</p
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
ABINITIO VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCIES OF THE TRIFLATE ION, (CF3SO3)-
No full textThe optimized geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities of the trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) ion, CF3SO3-, have been determined with ab initio self-consistent Hartree-Fock theory by using 3-21G* and 6-31G* Gaussian basis sets. Second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation calculations were also carried out with 6-31G* basis. A normal mode analysis shows that the vibrations assigned as symmetric and antisymmetric CF3 stretching involve other internal coordinates as well, viz., CF3 bending and CS stretching. The corresponding SO3 stretching modes, on the other hand, are almost entirely described with SO stretching coordinates. The assignments of the symmetric and antisymmetric SO3 and CF3 stretching vibrations from Moller-Plesset theory are seen to be different from those reported in the literature. Recent infrared spectroscopic experiments of the triflate ion coordinated to the zinc or lead ion in poly(ethylene oxide) complexes support the conclusions from second-order perturbation theory. The vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities show a strong dependence on basis set and electron correlation.</p
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
