Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
We 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
ZnO(101¯0) is unstable in moderate pressures of water
A ZnO(10 (1) over bar0) single crystal was investigated using in situ scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In roughly 1 mbar water the surface roughens within minutes. Hereby, the formation of (0001)- or (000 (1) over bar)-type steps is favored over the formation of (1 (2) over bar 10)-type steps. The roughened surface is stable in ultra-high vacuum and does not exhibit a different amount of hydroxylation or adsorbed water compared to the as-prepared surface. The speed of the roughening is related to the total volume of water supplied to the surface rather than the water pressure.Catalysis and Surface Chemistr

Simultaneous sulfidation of Mo and Co oxides supported on Au(111)
Here we present the results of a study carried out to investigate the simultaneous sulfidation of Co and Mo oxide nanoparticles on Au(111) as a synthesis strategy to prepare a model catalyst for hydrodesulfurization (HDS). We make use of scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to track the changes in morphology and chemistry during the synthesis of a mixed Mo and Co oxide precursor and the sulfidation thereafter, to the respective sulfides. We investigated the effects of temperature and the duration of sulfidation on the completeness of the sulfidation process. Our study shows that the formation of MoS2 with the CoMoS edge (the desired model catalyst) is not affected by the time or the temperature of sulfidation. However, the yield of the Co-promoted MoS2 slabs is limited by the formation of large clusters due to the spreading of Mo and Co oxide phases upon sulfidation. Complete sulfidation of the mixed oxide precursor to Co-promoted MoS2 can be accelerated by increasing the sulfidation temperature to 730 K due to the thermally activated nature of Mo oxide sulfidation. Thus, we demonstrate that using a mixed Mo and Co oxide precursor as a starting point for the Co-promoted MoS2 phase for fundamental catalytic studies is a viable strategy.Catalysis and Surface Chemistr
