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
Etude théorique sur le calcul des mécanismes au foyer dans un réservoir et application à la sismicité de la saline de Vauvert (Gard)
Get PDFWe develop a non linear inversion method based on the simulated annealing and using the amplitudes of the P, SV and SH direct waves, in order to determine focal mechanism from few stations as in reservoir context. This method allows the determination of the fault plane solution (strike, dip and rake) characterizing a double-couple solution or the determination of the six components of the moment tensor describing a general seismic source. The double-couple inversion and the moment tensor inversion are tested on four earthquakes induced in the geothermal reservoir of Soultz-sous-Forêts. The calculated focal mechanisms are in accordance with the solutions determined by Charlety et al. 2007. Finally, the inversion method is applied to the seismicity of the Vauvert salt production site recorded by two permanent 3-component stations. First, the method is tested on 15 earthquakes recorded during the deployment of a temporary antenna of four 3-component stations. The comparison between the inversion using the two permanent stations and the temporary antenna and the inversion using the two permanent stations only shows similar focal mechanisms for the events located between the two permanent stations. Second, the method is applied to a seismicity swarm. The focal mechanisms are obtained for 532 events and globally indicate rupture along NE-SW sub-vertical fractures. These focal solutions are interpreted as ruptures on stratigraphic planes in the non-soluble beds intercalated in the salt series.Nous proposons une méthode d'inversion non linéaire des amplitudes des ondes directes P, SV et SH basée sur l'algorithme du recuit simulé, afin de déterminer à partir d'un nombre limité de stations, le mécanisme au foyer de séismes induits en contexte de réservoir. Cette méthode permet de déterminer aussi bien les paramètres du plan de faille (azimut, pendage et angle de glissement) décrivant une source double-couple, que les six composantes du tenseur des moments décrivant une source plus générale. L'inversion double-couple et l'inversion du tenseur des moments sont testées sur quatre séismes induits dans le réservoir géothermique de Soultz-sous-Forêts. Les mécanismes obtenus sont en accord avec ceux déterminés par Charléty et al. 2007.La méthode d'inversion est appliquée à la sismicité de la saline de Vauvert enregistrée par un réseau permanent de deux stations 3-composante. Dans un premier temps, la méthode est testée sur 15 séismes enregistrés durant le déploiement temporaire d'une antenne de quatre capteurs 3-composante. La comparaison entre l'inversion utilisant les deux stations permanentes et l'antenne temporaires et l'inversion utilisant seulement les deux stations permanentes montre des mécanismes au foyer double-couple identiques pour les séismes localisés entre les deux stations permanentes. Dans un deuxième temps, la méthode est appliquée à un essaim de sismicité. Les mécanismes au foyer obtenus pour 532 évènements, indiquent pour la majorité une rupture le long de fractures sub-verticales NE-SW, interprétée comme de probables ruptures sur les plans stratigraphiques des bancs d'insolubles intercalés dans la formation de sel

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
