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
On The Use Of The Current And Flux State Variables In The Dynamic Analysis Of Magnetoelectric Networks
No full textThe goal of the present paper is to analyse the comparative implications related to the use of the current and flux state variables in the dynamic analysis of a magnetoelectric network. This analysis is made from both the energetic and system theory viewpoint. The paper also defines criteria on the basis of which the topological identification and the consequential formalization of the solving equations in terms of the flux variables can be carried out directly by inspection. Finally it defines, the topological properties that a network must satisfy in order to consent the analysis in terms of the current variables
Spin-wave dynamics in permalloy/cobalt magnonic crystals in the presence of a nonmagnetic spacer
No full textIn this paper, we theoretically study the influence of a nonmagnetic spacer between ferromagnetic dots and a ferromagnetic matrix on the frequency dispersion of the spin-wave excitations in two-dimensional bicomponent magnonic crystals. By means of the dynamical matrix method we investigate structures that are inhomogeneous across the thickness represented by square arrays of cobalt or permalloy dots in a permalloy matrix. We show that the introduction of a nonmagnetic spacer significantly modifies the total internal magnetic field, especially at the edges of the grooves and dots. This permits the manipulation of the magnonic band structure of spin waves localized either at the edges of the dots or in matrix material at the edges of the grooves. According to the
micromagnetic simulations two types of end modes were found. The corresponding frequencies are significantly influenced by the end modes’ localization region. We also show that, with the use of a single ferromagnetic material, it is possible to design a magnonic crystal preserving the properties of bicomponent magnonic crystals and magnonic antidot lattices. Finally, the influence of the nonmagnetic spacers on the technologically relevant parameters such as group velocity and magnonic bandwidth are discussed
