    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

    Heptacoordinated chiral Fe(II) complexes with pentagonal bipyramid geometry : Towards molecular magnets combining magnetic and optic propertiers

    No full text
    L'étude décrite dans ce mémoire concerne la synthèse et la caractérisation de complexes chiraux de FeII de géométrie bipyramide pentagonale. La chiralité est introduite par un ligand macrocyclique azoté en interaction pentadente en position équatoriale de la sphère de coordination du FeII. Les propriétés magnétiques des deux énantiomères d'une série de complexes de formulations [Fe(LN5RR/SS)(MeOH)Cl]Cl et [Fe(LN5RR/SS)(MeCN)2] (PF6)2 ont été étudiées. Leur anisotropie magnétique est caractérisée par un paramètre de ZFS D de -6 et -8 cm-1 respectivement. Ces complexes de FeII ont été utilisés comme source d'anisotropie magnétique de polymères de coordination 1D hétéronucléaires par association avec des cyanométallates. Une chaine [FeNi] obtenue avec la brique diamagnétique [Ni(CN)4]2- nous a permis de sonder l'anisotropie magnétique locale du FeII ; elle est caractérisée par un paramètre axial de ZFS D = -10.2 cm-1. La chaine [FeCr], formée avec le métallo-ligand paramagnétique [Cr(LN3O2Ph)(CN)2]-, constitue le premier exemple de SCM chirale à base de complexes PBP. Elle est caractérisée par des interactions ferromagnétiques JFeCr = 2.82 cm-1 et une barrière énergétique de renversements de spins Ueff/kB = 22 K. Par ailleurs, ces chaines ont également montré que la chiralité locale est étendue au niveau supramoléculaire sous la forme d'une organisation hélicoïdale. Leur pureté énantiomérique a été validée par des mesures de dichroïsme circulaire. Une seconde partie est consacrée à un nouveau ligand pentadente de formulation H2LN3O2NMe2 et une série de complexes de géométrie bipyramide pentagonale, [M(H2LN3O2NMe2)XY]Zn avec M = CoII, NiII, MnII et FeII, X = H2O, MeOH et MeCN ; Y = H2O, Br, I et MeCN ; Z = ClO4, Br, I et PF6 ont été obtenus et caractérisés. Les propriétés magnétiques de ces composés ont été étudieés pour évaluer l'impact de ce nouveau ligand sur l'anisotropie magnétique. Ce ligand aussi été mis en œuvre pour l'élaboration d'un dérivé di-cyanido de CrIII, Cat[Cr(LN3O2NMe2)(CN)2] avec Cat = K+ et PNP+ (PNP = Bis(triphénylphosphine)iminium). Le groupements NMe2 conduisent à de meilleurs solubilités dans les solvants organiques, ce qui devrait permettre une plus grande versatilité dans l'utilisation de ces complexes.Synthesis and characterization of chiral FeII complexes with pentagonal bipyramid coordination sphere are described. The chirality is introduced in the complexes through a pentadentate nitrogen macrocyclic ligand complexed in the equatorial position of the FeII. The enantiomers of two derivatives, [Fe(LN5RR/SS)(MeOH)Cl]Cl and [Fe(LN5RR/SS)(MeCN)2](PF6)2, were studied. Their were found to exhibit magnetic anisotropy characterized by an axial ZFS D parameter of -6 and -8 cm-1 respectively. These FeII complexes were involved in the synthesis of heteronuclear 1D coordination polymers in association with cyanometallates. An [FeNi] chain, obtained with the diamagnetic [Ni(CN)4]2- allowed us to probe the local magnetic anisotropy of the FeII in such a surrounding; a ZFS parameter D = -10.2 cm-1 was obtained. A [FeCr] chain, formed with the paramagnetic metallo-ligand [Cr(LN3O2Ph)(CN)2]-, is the first example of chiral SCM composed of PBP complexes. It is characterized by ferromagnetic Fe-Cr interactions of JFeCr = 2.82 cm-1 and an energy barrier of spin reversal of Ueff/kB = 22 K. These chains have also shown that local chirality is extended to the supramolecular level in the form of a helical organization. The circular dichroism spectra confirmed their enantiomeric purity. A second part concerns a novel pentadente ligand of formulation H2LN3O2NMe2 and a series of pentagonal bipyramid geometry complexes, [M(H2LN3O2NMe2)XY]Zn with M = CoII, NiII, MnII and FeII, X = H2O, MeOH and MeCN, Y = H2O, Br, I and MeCN and Z = ClO4, Br, I and PF6. Magnetic properties of these compounds were studied to assess the impact of this new ligand on magnetic anisotropy. This ligand was then implemented for the synthesis of a dicyanido Cr complexe Cat[Cr(LN3O2NMe2)(CN)2]- with Cat = K and PNP (PNP = Bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium). The NMe2 groups of the ligand leads to overall better solubilities in organic solvents, which should allow greater versatility in the design of c polynuclear systems

    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
