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
Ausgewählte reaktionskinetische Daten von Gesteinskörnungen im alkalischen Milieu als mögliche Grundlagen zur Vorhersage der Alkaliempfindlichkeit
No full textEine Alkali-Kieselsäure-Reaktion (AKR) ist eine Reaktion, die innerhalb von Betonstrukturen stattfindet und deren Produkt durch Expansion die Dauerhaftigkeit der Strukturen signifikant verkürzen kann. Der zuverlässigste Schutz vor diesen Schäden ist die Vermeidung von alkalireaktiver Gesteinskörnung im Beton, für deren Detektion international ähnliche Prüfverfahren existieren. Diese basieren überwiegend auf der Bewertung der Dehnung von Probenkörpern, hergestellt mit der zu untersuchenden Gesteinskörnung. In dieser Arbeit wurde ein neues im Vorfeld entwickeltes Schnelltestverfahrens zur Detektion von alkalireaktiver Gesteinskörnung auf seine Eignung an unterschiedlichen Gesteinen geprüft. Dazu wurden die Gesteine präzise bezüglich seiner Zusammensetzung, Aufbau und Größe beschrieben und eine statistisch signifikante Anzahl an Versuchen durchgeführt. Durch die Modellierung der Versuchsergebnisse und die Ermittlung des Einflusses der Charakteristika der Gesteine auf diese Ergebnisse soll das Testverfahren auf Eignung geprüft und Bewertungskriterien für die Reaktivität der Gesteine entwickelt werden.An alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a reaction that takes place within concrete structures and whose product can significantly shorten the durability of the structures through expansion. The most reliable protection against this damage is the avoidance of alkali-reactive aggregates in the concrete. There are similar international test methods for the detection of alkali-reactive aggregates. These are mainly based on the evaluation of the elongation of specimens made with the aggregate to be analysed. This study presents a potentially new test method based on solution tests and the investigations into its suitability. In this work, a new fast test procedure developed in advance for the detection of alkali-reactive aggregate was tested for its suitability on different aggregates. For this purpose, the aggregates were precisely described in terms of their composition, structure and size, and a statistically significant number of tests were carried out. By modeling the test results and determining the influence of the characteristics of the aggregates on these results, the test procedure can be tested for suitability and evaluation criteria for the reactivity of the aggregates can be developed
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
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
