    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

The spectra used in this study were recorded using _x000d_ the 1-m McMath-Pierce Fourier transform spectrometer while it was located at the National Solar _x000d_ Observatory on _x000d_ Kitt Peak, AZ. Multispectrum analysis softwarefootnote{D.~C.~Benner, C.~P.~Rinsland, _x000d_ V.~Malathy Devi, M.~A.~H.~Smith, D.~Atkins, textit{JQSRT} _x000d_ textbf{53} (1995) 705-721.} was used to retrieve the line parameters using the Voigt _x000d_ and speed-dependent Voigt line profiles. The line mixing coefficients were calculated using the _x000d_ Exponential Power Gap scaling law. Comparisons with similar published results will be presented

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Revising The Lineshape Parameters For Air- And Self- Broadened Co<sub>2</sub> Lines At A Sub-percent Level

    No full text
    Characterizing and modelling the atmospheric CO2_2 with a sub-percent accuracy necessitates high-quality spectroscopic lineshape parameters. For this goal, we collected the best experimentally and theoretically measured lineshape coefficients of CO2_2 lines broadened by air and CO2_2 to create sets of semi-empirical models for updating all the transitions of the HITRAN database [1]. Based on the available data, we estimated the air- and CO2_2- broadening coefficients, their associated temperature exponents, and the speed dependence of the broadening together with its temperature dependence for every transition in HITRAN. Furthermore, the semi-empirical approach proposed by Hartmann 2009 [2] (trained by most reliable experimental data) is used to calculate the line shifts of air- and self- broadened CO2_2 absorption lines. The updated data will be provided on www.hitran.org and will be used in the next edition of HITRAN. It is notable that thanks to the relational structure of the HITRAN database we provide separate consistent and complete sets of parameters in Voigt and speed-dependent Voigt parametrizations. Finally, the updated lineshape parameters are used for calculating the first-order line mixing using the program developed by Lamouroux et al. [3] which will also be provided in HITRAN 2020. For verifying the semi-empirically calculated lineshape parameters, the laboratory spectra measured by Dr. Keeyoon Sung at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is used to compare with the calculation of the absorption coefficient by HITRAN Application Programming Interface (HAPI) [4] which is now equipped with necessary functionality.

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We 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
