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

Any other use requires prior permission of the author and the American Institute of PhysicsInternational audienceAn Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation is developed to simulate the different stages of the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process with the FORGE3® F.E. software. A splitting method is utilized: a) the material velocity/pressure and temperature fields are calculated, b) the mesh velocity is derived from the domain boundary evolution and an adaptive refinement criterion provided by error estimation, c) P1 and P0 variables are remapped. Different velocity computation and remap techniques have been investigated, providing significant improvement with respect to more standard approaches. The proposed ALE formulation is applied to FSW simulation. Steady state welding, but also transient phases are simulated, showing good robustness and accuracy of the developed formulation. Friction parameters are identified for an Eulerian steady state simulation by comparison with experimental results. Void formation can be simulated. Simulations of the transient plunge and welding phases help to better understand the deposition process that occurs at the trailing edge of the probe. Flexibility and robustness of the model finally allows investigating the influence of new tooling designs on the deposition process
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
Simulation numérique du soudage par frottement malaxage
No full textThis work presents the development of a numerical tool. An Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation is implemented in the 3D FORGE3® F.E. software to simulate the different stages of the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process. A splitting method is utilized:a) the material velocity/pressure and temperature fields are calculated, b) the mesh velocity is derived from the domain boundary evolution and an adaptive refinement criterion provided by error estimation, c) nodal and P0 variables are remapped. Different velocity computations and remap techniques are investigated, providing significant advantages with respect to more standard approaches. Improvement is also brought to the contact algorithm through a tool smoothing procedure. These proposed enhancements have been tested and applied on industrial cases.Steady state welding, but also transient welding phases are simulated, exhibiting good robustness and accuracy of the developed ALE formulation. On the first hand, friction parameters are identified using Eulerian steady welding state simulations by comparison with experimental results. On the second hand, one major interest of the ALE model being the possibility to simulate void formation at the tool/workpiece interface, the transient plunge and welding phases are modeled. Their simulations can thus help to better understand the mechanisms of the deposition process that occurs at the trailing edge of the probe in order to obtain sound and defect-free welds. Finally, the flexibility and robustness of the model allows the investigation of new tooling designs influence in the deposition process.Ce travail présente le développement d'un outil numérique. Une formulation arbitrairement lagrangienne-eulérienne (ALE) est implémentée dans le logiciel 3D éléments finis FORGE3® pour simuler les différentes étapes du procédé de soudage par frottement malaxage (FSW). Une méthode découplée est utilisée : a) les champs de vitesses, pressions et températures du matériau sont calculés, b) la vitesse de maillage est calculée à partir de l'évolution des frontières du domaine et d'un critère de raffinement adaptatif procuré via une estimation d'erreur, c) les variables nodales et P0 sont transportées. Différentes techniques de calcul de la vitesse de maillage et de transport des variables sont étudiées, apportant des avantages significatifs par rapport à des approches plus standard. L'algorithme de contact a également été enrichi par une procédure de lissage d'outil. Ces améliorations ont été testées et appliquées sur des cas industriels.L'état stationnaire de soudage, tout comme les phases transitoires, sont simulés, montrant une bonne robustesse et une bonne précision de la formulation ALE développée. Dans un premier temps, la simulation de la phase de soudage stationnaire permet d'identifier, par comparaison avec des résultats expérimentaux, les paramètres de frottement. Dans un second temps, un des intérêts majeurs du modèle ALE étant la possibilité de simuler la formation de vide à l'interface outil/matière, la phase de plongée et des phases transitoires sont modélisées. Leurs simulations peuvent ainsi aider à mieux appréhender les mécanismes du phénomène complexe de déposition de matière qui doit avoir lieu à l'arrière du pion de façon à obtenir un joint sans défaut
