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
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
Advances in automating analysis of neural time series data
No full textLes expériences d’électrophysiologie ont longtemps reposé sur de petites cohortes de sujets pour découvrir des effets d’intérêt significatifs. Toutefois, la faible taille de l’échantillon se traduit par une faible puissance statistique, ce qui entraîne un taux élevé de fausses découvertes et un faible taux de reproductibilité. Deux questions restent à répondre : 1) comment faciliter le partage et la réutilisation des données pour créer de grands ensembles de données; et 2) une fois que de grands ensembles de données sont disponibles, quels outils pouvons-nous construire pour les analyser ? Donc, nous introduisons une nouvelle norme pour le partage des données, Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), et son extension MEG-BIDS. Puis, nous présentons un pipeline d’analyse de données électrophysiologie avec le logiciel MNE. Nous tenons compte des différents choix que l’utilisateur doit faire à chaque étape et formulons des recommandations standardisées. De plus, nous proposons un outil automatisé pour supprimer les segments de données corrompus par des artefacts, ainsi qu’un algorithme de détection d’anomalies basé sur le réglage des seuils de rejet. Par ailleurs, nous utilisons les données HCP, annotées manuellement, pour comparer notre algorithme aux méthodes existantes. Enfin, nous utilisons le convolutional sparse coding pour identifier les structures des séries temporelles neuronales. Nous reformulons l’approche existante comme une inférence MAP pour être atténuer les artefacts provenant des grandes amplitudes et des distributions à queue lourde. Ainsi, cette thèse tente de passer des méthodes d’analyse lentes et manuelles vers des méthodes automatisées et reproducibles.Electrophysiology experiments has for long relied upon small cohorts of subjects to uncover statistically significant effects of interest. However, the low sample size translates into a low power which leads to a high false discovery rate, and hence a low rate of reproducibility. To address this issue means solving two related problems: first, how do we facilitate data sharing and reusability to build large datasets; and second, once big datasets are available, what tools can we build to analyze them ? In the first part of the thesis, we introduce a new data standard for sharing data known as the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), and its extension MEG-BIDS. Next, we introduce the reader to a typical electrophysiological pipeline analyzed with the MNE software package. We consider the different choices that users have to deal with at each stage of the pipeline and provide standard recommendations. Next, we focus our attention on tools to automate analysis of large datasets. We propose an automated tool to remove segments of data corrupted by artifacts. We develop an outlier detection algorithm based on tuning rejection thresholds. More importantly, we use the HCP data, which is manually annotated, to benchmark our algorithm against existing state-of-the-art methods. Finally, we use convolutional sparse coding to uncover structures in neural time series. We reformulate the existing approach in computer vision as a maximuma posteriori (MAP) inference problem to deal with heavy tailed distributions and high amplitude artifacts. Taken together, this thesis represents an attempt to shift from slow and manual methods of analysis to automated, reproducible analysis
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
Anomaly detection and localisation using mixed graphical models
No full textCette thèse s’articule autour d’un besoin industriel de la société Thales Système Aéroportés et du radar de combat RBE2 équipant les avions de chasses Dassault Rafale. Elle développe une méthodologie de localisation d’anomalies dans des flux de données hétérogènes en utilisant un modèle graphique mixte non orienté et pairs à pairs. Les données sont un mélange de variables catégorielles et quantitatives, et le modèle est appris à partir d’un jeu de données dont on suppose qu’il ne contient pas de données anormales. Les algorithmes de localisation d’anomalies utilisent une version adaptée de l’algorithme CUSUM, dont la fonction de décision est basée sur le calcul de ratios de vraisemblance conditionnelles. Cette fonction permet de réaliser une détection d’anomalies variable par variable et de localiser précisément les variables impliquées dans l’anomalie.This thesis revolves around an industrial need of Thales Système Aéroportés and the RBE2 combat radar equipping Dassault Rafale fighter aircraft. It develops a methodology for locating anomalies in heterogeneous data stream using a mixed, non-orientation and peer-to-peer graphical model. The data are a mixture of categorical and quantitative variables, and the model is learned from a data set that is assumed not to contain abnormal data. Anomaly localization algorithms use an adapted version of the CUSUM algorithm, whose decision function is based on the calculation of conditional likelihood ratios. This function allows the detection of variable anomalies per variable and the precise localization of the variables involved in the anomaly
