Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Estudo de treliça plana via modelagem numérica
No full textArtigoA análise de estruturas é uma etapa importante na elaboração de projetos para engenheiros pois permite entender o comportamento das estruturas nos aspectos analíticos, experimentais e numéricos. A análise numérica pode ser realizada através do método dos elementos finitos que é um procedimento que apresenta um nível de desenvolvimento que possibilita sua utilização de forma acessível e eficiente em decorrência da generalidade de estruturas existentes além da complexidade de suas formas. As treliças são estruturas bastante utilizadas em edificações como parte, por exemplo, de soluções para telhados e desta forma tratar esse elemento como parte de um trabalho de pesquisa acadêmica de engenharia permite trazer para os alunos e alunas envolvidos mais conhecimento quando se trata de suas análises. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma análise estrutural, contemplando os estudos analíticos e numéricos, bem como a determinação de esforços internos e externos, das tensões correspondentes, até a determinação dos deslocamentos e deformações de uma treliça de madeira isostática e homogênea composta por membros retangulares. Além de introduzir na análise numérica o conceito de método dos elementos finitos em programas automáticos de modo a atestar a sua eficiência comparando com os resultados analíticos. Como resultado do trabalho, ao final pode-se perceber a eficácia dos modelos numéricos em análise de estruturas quando se comparou os resultados analíticos de reações, esforços internos e deflexões nos elementos estruturais da treliça analisada.Trabalho não financiado por agência de fomento, ou autofinanciad
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country

Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics
No full textWe describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation
