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
Noise enhancement method for speech signal processing / Muhamad Arif Hashim and Roshidi Din
Full text linkSpeech recognition is like biometric (eg. smartcard) that based on person voice (speech) which is convert to signal, recognize whether the intended person is genuine or not. Basically, signal consists two kind of information: message information and noise information and as well as speech signal, it contains speech information and noise information. Generally, noise information is not needed and causes trouble by disturbing the speech signal and adds errors to the signal. To overcome this problem, speech enhancement method is used to separate speech information and noise from speech signal using several kinds of techniques such as Kalman Filtering and Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) and enhance the intended feature (speech information). In this paper; our main intention on different method called noise enhancement method, which based on speech enhancement method to recognize the intended speech signal and learning noise behaviors and its usefulness. The relationship between noise and speech signal will be discuss including chronology of speech signal processing and types of noise that appears. We state steps on doing the noise enhancement method and some mathematical basis will be presented. Finally, we will discuss challenge that occur and conclude it based on based on the discussion. Hopefully, it will give a new direction of noise and speech's intention not just in information communication and technology field but also in speech research, sound engineering and other related fields
Usefulness and applications of entropy measurement / Muhamad Arif Hashim and Roshidi Din
Full text linkBasically, entropy is a measure of uncertainty, a mathematical equation in defining the between certainty and uncertainty. Although the term has been around the world for a long time, there still lack in literature for better understanding of its usefulness and applications. In this paper, we mainly focus on the entropy by clarifying the real meaning of it in a simple and understandable mathematical way from a communication field point of view. The entropy properties and rules will be discussed in detail and we try to relate it with logarithm measure for a better understanding of entropy scenario. Some usefulness and applications of entropy in various fields such as communication, thermodynamic will be presented. We conclude this paper and state some challenges in applying entropy measurement. Hopefully, it will bring a new and better understanding of entropy not just to researcher and mathematician, but also to other related individual such as engineer and academician in applying this powerful measurement tool in their field
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
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
