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
Properties of ZnO nanostructures produced by mechanochemical-solid state combustion method using different precursors
No full textNanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) samples were produced by the mechanochemical-solid state combustion method using different precursors, namely citric acid, maleic acid, sodium oxalate, salicylic acid, tartaric acid and urea. The ZnO samples were characterised by XRD. The average crystallite sizes of the samples were found to be between 18 and 67 nm and from 43 to 69 nm for synthesis temperatures of 400 and 600 degrees C, respectively. The morphology of the samples was investigated by SEM, and their particle sizes were found to be between 25 and 223 nm and from 38 to 339 nm for synthesis temperatures at 400 and 600 degrees C, respectively. The electrical conductivity measurements of the samples were performed via the four probe method. The ZnO samples produced at 600 degrees C have higher electrical conductivity than those produced at 400 degrees C. Also, the optical absorbances of the ZnO samples were measured via Uv/vis spectrophotometer. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
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
Numerical classification and ordination of Esenli (Giresun) forest vegetation
No full textKARAKOSE, MUSTAFA/0000-0003-0534-3996WOS: 000503432200003The forest vegetation of Esenli Forest Planning Unit was investigated between 2015 and 2018 from the phytosociological point of view. The study area is situated in the Euxine province of Euro-Siberian Region. Phytosociological studies were carried out in accordance with the classical Braun-Blanquet methodology, and 131 releves were collected during the field survey. The releves were classified using the Modified TWINSPAN classification, and general distribution patterns of vegetation were analysed using indirect ordination analysis (Principal Component Analysis) with the R-Project available in the JUICE program. In addition to topographic factors, ecological factors were assessed using the mean Ellenberg Indicator Values to observe the ecological relationships among communities. Four new plant associations (Cirsio trachylepidis-Pinetum sylvestris, Angelico sylvestri-Alnetum barbatae, Circaeo lutetianae-Fagetum orientalis, and Veronico chamaedryo-Piceetum orientalis) were described as belonging to humid montane coniferous and thermophilous deciduous forests within four classes. Distribution pattern of plant communities was strictly influenced by altitude, inclination, moisture, nutrient content, and light
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
