    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

    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

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    학위논문(박사) -- 서울대학교대학원 : 공과대학 조선해양공학과, 2024. 2. Youngsub Lim.Advanced process design of subcooling re-liquefaction system for the liquefied gas carrier Jaejun Lee Dept. of Naval Architecture & Ocean Engineering The Graduate School Seoul National University By strengthening the International Maritime Organizations strategies for greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, the energy demands of natural gas (NG), which acts as a transitional energy source for the ways to net zero emission society, will peak in 2030. Additionally, the transportation of carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from the production process of carbon neutral fuels such as blue hydrogen or from exhaust gas generated after the combustion of fossil fuel is expected to increase marginally until 2050. To transport large amounts of natural gas and carbon dioxide to the various regions, the method of ship transportation in the liquid phase is evaluated as the most economical way. To maximize transportation capacity of a liquid cargo carrier, the re-liquefaction system must be considered. This study suggests a new LNG subcooling system combined with a mixed refrigerant cycle (MR-SLNG), which can significantly increase re-liquefaction performance. For the transportation of liquefied CO2 (LCO2), the optimized storage pressure condition of LCO2 is analyzed, and the subcooling system is proposed for the first time in an LCO2 re-liquefaction system. The results of LNG re-liquefaction system show that the coefficient of performance (COP) of the system is improved by 2.5 times compared to that of the conventional LNG subcooling system based on a reverse Brayton cycle (RBC-SLNG). The results of the LCO2 re-liquefaction system show that the suggested LCO2 subcooling system has lower specific energy consumption, which means it is more efficient than conventional LCO2 re-liquefaction systems, even with a simpler configuration. At 15 bar of storage pressure, the LCO2 subcooling system has a lower specific energy consumption of 176.91 kJ/kg, which is 18.2 % and 5.3 % lower than that of the Linde–Hampson cycle and vapor-compression refrigeration cycle using NH3 as a refrigerant, respectively. In addition to the re-liquefaction performance improvement, economic benefits can be obtained by applying a subcooling system. MR-SLNG can be designed more compactly because the volumetric flowrate of the refrigerant compressor is decreased to 10% of the conventional subcooling system (RBC-SLNG), which brings additional benefits to the ship design. For the LCO2 carrier, the boil-off CO2 (BOGCO2) compressor is not required and can be removed in an LCO2 subcooling system. By considering the CO2 re-liquefaction performance and the design constraints of the LCO2 cargo tanks, 15 bar LCO2 storage conditions with a subcooling system are considered the most economical LCO2 carrier design. Consequently, the subcooling system can be an attractive solution for industrial fields that store and utilize the low-temperature liquid cargo because of its improved performance and features that ensure the operational flexibility of the liquid cargo handling system.

    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
