Migration from Millennium and Symphony to KOHA: Khalifa University experience
Get PDFThis paper provides the details of the implementation and challenges of the ILS migration project of Khalifa University University, Abu Dhabi. The University is established by merging the three prominent higher education institutions in Abu Dhabi, namely the Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research (KUSTAR), the Petroleum Institute (PI), and the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology (MI). Before the merger, KUSTAR library used Innovative Interfaces\u27 Millennium ILS, PI used Sirsi-Dynix\u27s Symphony, and MI used the open-source Koha system (with the support of a service provider). After the merger, the new University decided to choose the KOHA ILS system for the campus libraries. This paper examines the objectives, risk factors, migration procedures, implementation tasks, customization, and challenges of ILS migration of Khalifa Universit

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
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
Integrating Multiple Catalytic Active Sites into One Composite System for Highly Efficient and Durable Water Oxidation
No full textDeveloping an active, affordable, and stable catalyst for efficient oxygen evolution during water electrolysis remains a formidable task in contemporary research. The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) continues to impede the overall efficiency of the electrolysis process. A comprehensive approach is demonstrated here to develop multiple catalytic active components into a single system by means of integrating a bimetallic hydroxide (NiFe(OH)x) with an amorphous molybdenum sulfide (MoSx) heterostructure using rational strategies. This proposed fabrication strategy enables the catalytic activity to be enhanced and fast electron transfer, resulting in an OER in strong alkaline media through synergistic effects and effective modulation of electronic interactions. Moreover, the resulting composite electrode (MoSx/NiFe(OH)x/NF) displayed the lowest overpotential and a Tafel slope of 298 mV at 50 mA cm–2 and 47.25 mV dec–1, respectively, as well as a good stability under large currents over a prolonged period of 48 h without degradation. The demonstrated electrode is found to dynamically reform the surface layer’s active phase after catalyzing the reactions to serve as an effective electrode for water oxidation. These results have not only led to the development of a robust and effective electrocatalyst but also opened up several possibilities for developing multicomponent electrocatalytic systems in one material that can be integrated into conventional catalyst designs.This work was funded by the Khalifa University Internal Research grant CIRA-2020-106.

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
