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
U-Pb ikämääritys Ikkarin kultaesiintymän metasedimenttikivien zirkoneista, Keski-Lapin vyöhykkeellä, Pohjois-Suomessa
Full text linkThe gold deposit of Ikkari located in Central Lapland belt, near Jeesiö and Rajala villages. Central Lapland belt have been divided to six units from oldest to youngest: Salla group, Kuusamo group, Sodankylä group, Savukoski group, Kittilä suite and Kumpu group. The purpose of this study was to figure out how old metasediments of Ikkari are and what stratigraphy unit they represent by using U-Pb method to zircon grains and comparing these age results to older publications. Mineralogy and lithology of the samples were studied in petrography studies from thin section.
Two of the samples are conglomerates and eight are sericite-albite altered quartzites. Major zircon populations of the conglomerates occur ca. 2.015 Ga and maximum deposit ages of them occur 1910 ± 10 Ma (120059_A) and 1919 ± 5 Ma (120071_A). Rocks of Kittilä suite and Savukoski group are probably the local source for the sedimentary material of this age. Major zircon populations of the quartzites occur ca. 1.95–1.90 Ga and maximum deposit ages of them are between 1.90–1.86 Ga. The felsic magmatism in the Lapland Granulite belt is potential source for the material of this age zircon populations.
Based on U-Pb ages of the detrital zircon populations of this study, samples can be correlated in to the Kumpu group. The conglomerates are slightly older than the quartzites. Metamorphic overgrowth occurs in some zircon grains.Ikkarin kultaesiintymä sijaitsee Keski-Lapin vyöhykkeellä, lähellä Jeesiön ja Rajalan kyliä. KeskiLapin vyöhyke koostuu kuudesta stratigrafisesta yksiköstä, vanhimmasta nuorimpaan Sallan ryhmä, Kuusamon ryhmä, Sodankylän ryhmä, Savukosken ryhmä, Kittilän sviitti ja Kummun ryhmä. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, Ikkarin metasedimenttien ikäjakauma ja mihin stratigrafiseen yksikköön ne kuuluvat. Ikämääritykset tehtiin metasedimenteissä olevista detritaalisista zirkoneista zirkon U-Pb menetelmän avulla ja näitä ikämääritystuloksia vertailemalla muihin julkaisuihin. Petrografisissa tutkimuksissa tutkittiin ohuthie istä näytteiden mineraalikoostumus ja kivilaji.
Kaksi näytteistä on konglomeraatteja ja kahdeksan serisiitti-albiitti muuttuneita kvartsiitteja. Konglomeraattien suurimmat zirkonipopulaatiot asettuvat noin 2.015 Ga ikään ja niiden maksimi kerrostumisiät ovat 1910 ± 10 Ma (120059_A) ja 1919 ± 5 Ma (120071_A). Luultavasti Savukosken ryhmän ja Kittilän sviitin kivet ovat olleet paikallinen lähde 2.05–2.00 Ga zirkoneille. Kvartsiittien suurimmat zirkonipopulaatiot asettuvat noin 1.95–1.90 Ga ja niiden maksimikerrostumisikä on 1.86–1.90 Ga välillä. Felsinen magmatismi Lapin granuliittivyöhykkeellä on mahdollinen materiaalinlähde näille zirkonipopulaatioille.
Verrattaessa työn zirkonipopulaatioita muihin julkaisuihin osoittautuivat kaikki työn näytteet Kummun ryhmän kiviksi, konglomeraattien ollessa kuitenkin hieman vanhempia. Osassa zirkoni rakeista on havaittavissa metamorfista ylikasvu
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
