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
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
Kõrge täpsusega gravimeetriline Winkleri meetod lahustunud hapniku määramiseks
Get PDFVäitekirja elektrooniline versioon ei sisalda publikatsioone.Lahustunud hapniku sisaldus looduslikes vetes on väga oluline parameeter. Viimasel ajal on täheldatud hapnikutaseme langust maailma ookeanide mitmetes piirkondades. Protsessid, mis selleni viivad ei ole lõpuni arusaadavad ja nende lahtimõtestamiseks on väga oluline suuta hapnikusisaldusi kõrge täpsusega mõõta. Üsna laialdaselt mõõdetakse lahustunud hapniku sisaldust vees amperomeetriliste ja viimasel ajal ka optiliste hapnikuanalüsaatoritega. Need meetodid ei ole primaarmeetodid ja vajavad kalibreerimist. Stabiilse kontsentratsiooniga hapnikulahuste tegemine on hapniku keemiliste, füüsikaliste ja biololoogiliste omaduste tõttu pea võimatu. Seega, et tagada lahustunud hapniku määramisel jälgitavus SI ühikuteni, on tarvilik kõrge täpsusega primaarmeetodi olemasolu. Primaarmeetodiks lahustunud hapniku määramisel on Winkleri jodomeetriline tiitrimismeetod. Sellel meetodil on leitud rida kitsaskohti kaasa arvatud see, et klassikaliselt on tegemist mahtanalüütilise meetodiga. Kirjanduses on avaldatud terve hulk Winkleri meetodi modifikatsioone, mis peaksid selle meetodi puudusi parendama. Nende meetoditega saadud tulemuste korrektsed, kõiki olulisi allikaid arvestavad määramatuse hinnangud aga puudusid enne käesoleva töö algust kirjandusest täielikult. Enamik kirjandusallikaid on piirdunud vaid korduvuse andmetega, mõnel juhul oli eraldi hinnatud ka üksikuid muude määramatuse allikate panuseid. Erinevalt seni pakutud Winkleri meetodi modifikatsioonidest on käesolevas töös välja töötatud metoodika gravimeetriline tagades sellega madalama määramatuse. Metoodika jaoks on viidud läbi detailne mõõtemääramatuse hindamine. Selle jaoks on läbi viidud eksperimente väga erinevate mõjuallikate kindlakstegemiseks, leitud nendele vastavad parandid ja määramatuste panused. Määramatuse hindamise tulemusena saadud määramatuse koond sisaldab erinevate komponentide panuseid ning on võimas abivahend meetodi optimeerimiseks ja veelgi täpsemate tulemuste saamiseks. Seda võimalust on ka käesolevas töös kasutatud ning selle tulemusena on välja arendatud Winkleri meetodi gravimeetriline modifikatsioon, mis annab madalaima määramatusega tulemusi lahustunud hapniku määramisel vees.DO content in natural waters is a very important parameter. Recent studies show decrease in DO content in several areas of world oceans. Processes leading to this decrease are not completely understood and it is very important to be able to measure DO content very accurately for studying the dynamics of these processes. Amperometric and more recently also optical oxygen sensors are widely used in DO measurements. These sensors need calibration and therefore solutions with accurate DO concentration are necessary. Oxygen is a very unstable analyte due to its chemical, physical and biological properties. For this reason it is almost impossible to prepare oxygen solutions in ordinary way by dissolving certain amount of oxygen in water. The problem can be solved by using some primary method (i.e. method not needing calibration) that also ensures traceability to SI units. The most reliable primary DO measurement method available is the Winkler titration method. For this method several of factors limiting its accuracy were determined, including the volumetric nature of the classical Winkler method. A number of publications propose different modifications that should eliminate or compensate for these disadvantages. However, before the start of this work there were no publications available that would comprehensively review all the important uncertainty sources of the Winkler method and still a lot of room existed for improving the accuracy of the Winkler method. Most of the publications give repeatability of the results only. In some cases individual uncertainty sources were separately estimated. The method proposed in this work differs from the previously proposed method due to its gravimetric approach, which assures lower uncertainty. Detailed analysis of the uncertainty sources and comprehensive uncertainty estimation were carried out. Experiments for determining the different influence factors were carried out, corrections were determined and uncertainty contributions for accounting these influences were estimated. As a result a detailed uncertainty budget was compiled. This budget is very useful for optimizing the function for getting more accurate measurement results. The optimization was carried out and as a result of this the gravimetric Winkler method modification for determination of DO in water giving the results with lowest available uncertainty was developed
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
