Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
DEVELOPING AN ONLINE E-LEARNING SYSTEM FOR TEACHING FUNDAMENTALS OF OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING
No full text4th International Technology, Education and Development Conference (INTED) -- MAR 08-10, 2010 -- Valencia, SPAINElectronic learning (E-Learning) provides an effective educational method, which enables both students and teachers to remove limitations of the traditional education and perform education activities with the support of more advanced technologies. Today, there are many different ways and methods to perform E-Learning activities in schools. But new E-Learning models include the use of computers and computer based programs mostly. By using the computer technology, learning management systems (LMS), online tutors and other special-purpose computer applications are designed and developed to be used in education activities. This paper describes an online E-Learning application system that can be used to teach fundamentals of object oriented programming. With the developed system, students can learn theoractical and practical aspects of the object oriented programming by using some learning tools and documents. By using the system interface, students can view interactive animations, exercises, videos and lecture notes about the object oriented programming. Moreover, they can take some tests and check their knowledge about the given subject. The system also employs an intelligent programming tutor, which can be used by students to write small program codes and check the written codes for possible errors. While writing a program code, students receive some intelligent feedbacks to correct their errors and write the true object oriented program. Working principles of this tutor were determined according to Ohlsson's theory on learning from errors. In addition to students' learning activities, teachers can use an admin panel to organize learning tools and documents provided in the system. They can add or remove the mentioned learning documents, prepare tests about the object oriented programming and add small questions for the intelligent programming tutor. They can also view some statistical information about each student's learning activities on the system. The developed E-Learning system provides an easy to use application interface and can be executed on any Java enabled web browser. With this system, an effective and efficient education environment for both students and teachers can be ensured easily

Blockchain of things for healthcare asset management
Full text linkThe healthcare sector has a large deployment of critical assets, which must be available at the right place at the right time. This necessitates not only the location of the assets being monitored in real time but also the serviceability being ensured through predictive maintenance. The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed real-time data acquisition, which can be aggregated and analysed for meaningful inferences about the monitored process and assets. The information can be collected and exchanged through radio, Bluetooth or other communications technologies but raises privacy and security concerns as the critical asset information is susceptible to interception and tampering both in transit and at rest.The asset information is critical both for privacy preservation and tamper proofing. Combining the use of blockchain technology with IoT can provide a high degree of trust and security. The data can thereby be securely shared within the private blockchain only with the authorized parties. This chapter discusses the application of combining IoT and Blockchain technologies into a solution to address challenges in the healthcare sector. We then present architecture for integrating IoT, Edge Artificial Intelligence and blockchain technologies for asset management in the healthcare sector
