    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

    Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar os efeitos da interferência da mucuna-preta no crescimento inicial de plantas de cana-de-açúcar, cultivar RB966928. O experimento foi conduzido em caixa de cimento com capacidade de 125L, preenchidas com substrato de um solo coletado da camada arável de um Latossolo Vermelho Escuro, e foi constituído por cinco tratamentos: (i) monocultivo da cana-de-açúcar, (ii) monocultivo da mucuna-preta, (iii) cultivo da cana-de-açúcar em convivência com a mucuna-preta em caixas separadas e agrupadas, (iv) cultivo da cana-de-açúcar em convivência com a mucuna-preta em caixas se comunicando e (v) cultivo da cana-de-açúcar em convivência com a mucuna-preta em caixas se comunicando, sem que a mucuna-preta entre em contato com a cana. Para o plantio da cana utilizou-se um fragmento do colmo (tolete) com três gemas aparentemente sadias e para a mucuna-preta foram utilizadas quatro plântulas por caixa, equivalente a 16 plantas m-2. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos casualizados com cinco tratamentos e sete repetições. As plantas de cana-de-açúcar foram avaliadas quanto à altura e o diâmetro do colmo principal. aos 30, 60 e 90 dias após o transplante (DAT) da mucuna-preta para as caixas. A avaliação final foi estabelecida aos 120 dias após o plantio da cana-de-açúcar, correspondendo a 90 DAT da mucuna-preta quando se avaliou a massa seca das folhas, dos colmos, área foliar e numero de perfilhos da cana-de-açúcar e a massa seca da parte aérea e a área foliar da mucuna-preta. Todos os dados foram submetidos á analise de variância pelo teste F, sendo as médias comparadas pelo texto de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. A altura e o diâmetro do colmo principal da cana-de-açúcar não foram afetados pelas situações de convivência com a mucuna-preta até os 90 DAT. O acúmulo da massa seca da parte aérea da mucuna-preta foi maior no tratamento sem a presença da cana de açúcar, o mesmo foi observado na análise de área foliar. Para a cana-de-açúcar, em todos os tratamentos, tanto com a presença quanto com a ausência da mucuna-preta em caixas se comunicando ou isoladas não houve interferência da mucuna-preta nas características de área foliar, no acúmulo de massa seca das folhas na dos colmos e no número de perfilhos.This work aims to evaluate the effects of velvet bean interference upon the initial growth of sugarcane plants, RB 966928 cultivar. The experiment was conducted in cement boxes with 125L capacity filled with a substratum composed of the arable part of an oxisol and consisted of five treatments: (i) sugarcane monoculture; (ii) velvet bean monoculture; (iii) sugarcane and velvet bean coexisting in separate boxes; (iv) sugarcane and velvet bean coexisting in united boxes; and (v) sugarcane and velvet bean coexisting but not contacting each other in united boxes. For sugarcane planting, a stem part (stalk cutting) with three apparently healthy buds were used and for velvet bean four seedlings were used per box, which stands for 16 plants m-2 . Experimental design was of random block design and had five treatments and seven replications. Sugarcane plants were evaluated on height and main stalk diameter at 30, 60 and 90 days after transplantation (DAT) of velvet bean to the parcels.The final evaluation occurred at 120 days after planting the sugarcane, which stands for 90 DAT of velvet bean, when it was evaluated also dry matter of leaves, stalks, leaf area and number of lateral shoots for sugarcane and dry matter of aerial parts and leaf area for velvet bean. All data was submitted to analysis of variance through F test, being the means compared by Tukey test at 5% probability. Height and diameter of main stalk were not affected by coexistence treatments with velvet bean until 90 DAT. Dry matter accumulation of velvet bean was higher on the monoculture treatment and the same was observed in leaf area analisys. Regarding sugarcane, in no treatment, as well as coexisting or not with velvet bean or being in separated or united boxes, the foliar area, dry matter accumulation of leaves and stalk or lateral shoot number was affected

    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

    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

    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
