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
An instrumented steering wheel for driver model development
Full text linkThe paper focuses on the development and first employment of a new Instrumented Steering Wheel (ISW), useful to conceive future controls for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems or Automated Vehicles. The Instrumented Steering Wheel is particularly suited to develop new and accurate driver models, which are needed to enable the addressed controls. By the new Instrumented Steering wheel, the effects on vehicle control of the Neuro-Muscular System of drivers can be studied. The ISW senses, at each hand, three forces and three moments. Additionally, the grip at each of the two hands is sensed. The design of the ISW has been performed based on advanced modelling and optimization techniques. The mass, moments of inertia and structural stiffness of the ISW are the ones of a common steering wheel. Both dynamic and static tests of the ISW have been performed to validate the design models and to assess the measurement characteristics. The high accuracy of the ISW is obtained after compensation of inertial effects induced either by gravity or ISW rotation angle or vehicle motion. An early employment of the ISW has been made. During an emergency manoeuvre on a test track, the role of each hand in applying the total moment at the steering wheel has been highlighted. The hands apply at the steering wheel not only forces but also extremely relevant moments. The Neuro-Muscular Systems of the two arms, two wrists and two hands are activated separately and according with a pattern that deserve further study. This observation provides a comprehensive basis for the future development of new accurate driver models
Scope and limitations of the digital strategy of Castilla-La Mancha Media (CMM)
No full textEste trabajo aborda la adaptación de la estrategia digital de Castilla-La Mancha Media (CMM) a las condiciones del Mercado Único Digital Europeo. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo un análisis cualitativo de los documentos públicos, normativa reguladora, comparecencias en el parlamento regional en las que se ha tratado el tema, así como datos de otras instituciones públicas y privadas. Encontramos que, pese a las limitaciones del mercado regional, la cadena ha combinado éxitos como el de su plataforma digital CMMPlay, con las limitaciones de su analítica de datos de audiencias o la experimentalidad de contenidos interactivos novedosos y arriesgados. De esta forma, observamos una adaptación a la estrategia digital europea un tanto improvisada e intuitiva, que debe hacerse explícita manteniendo su compromiso de servicio público y participación ciudadana.This paper addresses the adaptation of the digital strategy of Castilla-La Mancha Media (CMM) to the conditions of the European Digital Single Market. For this purpose, a qualitative analysis has been carried out of public documents, regulatory regulations, appearances in the regional parliament in which the subject has been discussed, as well as data from other public and private institutions. We found that, despite the limitations of the regional market, the channel has combined successes such as its digital platform CMMPlay, with the limitations of its audience data analytics or the experimentation of innovative and risky interactive content. Thus, we observe a somewhat improvised and intuitive adaptation to the European digital strategy, which must be made explicit while maintaining its commitment to public service and citizen participation.Sección Deptal. de Relaciones Internacionales e Historia Global (Ciencias de la Información)Fac. de Ciencias de la InformaciónTRUEpu
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

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
