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
Correlation study of spot welded specimens\' behavior using element method.
No full textA soldagem a ponto por resistência é o processo de união de partes mais comum utilizado na indústria automobilística. Vários métodos de representação de pontos de solda estão disponíveis, e este trabalho se propõe comparar dois métodos de modelagem de pontos de solda através de um estudo de correlação, em termos da força máxima suportada pela junta soldada, entre os resultados de testes virtuais e de laboratório. Estes métodos de representação dos pontos de solda são os elementos de viga e os elementos sólidos. Os testes utilizados neste estudo de correlação carregam o corpo de provas sob ação de forças de cisalhamento e normal aplicadas diretamente no ponto de solda. E para completar este estudo de correlação, o entendimento dos modos e critérios de falha de juntas soldadas também é necessário. Os modelos de elementos finitos dos corpos de prova gerados para serem testados sob condições de cisalhamento e de força normal são detalhados pela apresentação dos tipos de materiais, elementos, formulações de contato e carregamento utilizados. Estes modelos foram analisados pelo LS-DYNA, que é um código de elementos finitos de propósito geral para análise de respostas dinâmicas provenientes de grandes deformações de estruturas. Da mesma forma, os testes físicos e os corpos de prova utilizados são detalhados, e os resultados provenientes dos testes são comparados aos obtidos nas simulações. Dos resultados obtidos, a melhor correlação se deu com a utilização do elemento sólido para representar o ponto de solda, com diferenças entre os resultados físicos e virtuais em torno de 4%. Uma representação simples do ponto de solda é indicada no caso de modelos completos e para aplicações na indústria, alguns fatores, tais como a modelagem da ZTA, podem ser suprimidos. Uma breve descrição do processo de soldagem a ponto, alguns tópicos da análise de elementos finitos não-linear e algumas características do LS-DYNA, além das conclusões e recomendações para trabalhos posteriores, completam este estudo.Resistance spot welding is the most common jointing process of parts used in automotive industry. Several methods to represent spot welds are available, and the purpose of this work is to compare two different methods of spot weld modeling through a correlation study, taking into consideration the maximum force withstood by the welded joint, between virtual and lab test results. These spot weld representation methods are beam and solid elements. The tests used in this correlation study load the specimens under pure shear and pure normal forces. And in order to complete this correlation study, the understanding of the failure modes and criteria is also necessary. The specimens finite element models generated to be tested under purê shear and normal conditions are detailed by the presentation of materials, elements contact formulations and loading types used. These models were analyzed by the LS-DYNA, which is general purpose finite element code for analyzing the large deformation dynamic response of structures. As well, the physical tests and used specimens are detailed, and the results from the tests are compared to the results obtained in the simulations. Taking the obtained results, the best correlation was found using solid elements to represent the spot weld, due to differences between the physical and the virtual results about 4%. A simple representation of the spot weld is indicated in case of a complete model, and for the industry application, some factors such as the HAZ, may be suppressed. A brief description of the spot welding process, some topics of the non-liner finite element analysis and some features of the LS-DYNA, and also the conclusions and recommendations for future works, complete this study
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
