    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The 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

    In this work we study the electronic properties of ClO− doped polythiophenes and discuss the nonlinear optical properties of these organic 4 compounds galvanostatically electrodeposited on ITO glasses. The investigation on the electronic properties (band gap, flat band potential) was performed by means of a non-destructive optical technique, photocurrent spectroscopy (PCS). The investigation on the nonlinear optical response was carried out by means of second and third harmonic generation (SHG and THG) measurements. In particular, the effect of the oxidation state of the polymeric films was studied by comparing the NLO response of oxidized and reduced polythiophenes. Reduced poly- meric films show higher values of the second (χ h2i) and third (χ h3i) order nonlinear optical susceptibilitie

    Investigations about the energetics and the electrical properties of niobium thin film, electrochemically grown, were performed in an organic solution of acetonitrile and lithium perchlorate. The study of the energetics of the Nb O /organic solution interface was performed by means of a non-destructive optical technique, photocurrent 2 5 spectroscopy. By means of this technique, it was possible estimating the value of the flat band potential and locating conduction and valence band. A more cathodic value of flat band potential in respect with acidic solution was found in organic medium. From impedance spectra, the electrical circuit that gives best fitting values is constituted by two resistances in parallel with two constant phase elements and in series with the resistance of the electrolyte. On considering the exponential coefficient, the constant phase elements model distorted capacitances

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    Fluorescence Quenching in Hybrid Solar Cells Based on Electrodeposited ZnO

    No full text
    A study about fluorescence phenomena in hybrid donor-acceptor interfaces based on electrodeposited zinc oxide (e-ZnO) having different architectures is performed. In particular ITO/ZnO/P3HT and ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM are investigated and their photoluminescence responses are compared with those of ITO/P3HT and ITO/P3HT:PCBM. As expected, ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM and ITO/P3HT:PCBM present higher exciton quenching than ITO/ZnO/P3HT and ITO/P3HT respectively. Furthermore, the hybrid configuration ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM displays a higher quenching percentage in a wider wavelength range than ITO/P3HT:PCBM, indicating a better photo-induced charge separation in e-ZnO based hybrid devices
