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
Détection optique de la dynamique magnéto-acoustique
No full textCe travail se situe dans le contexte de l’utilisation des ondes de spin comme vecteur d’information. Il explore la possibilité d’exciter l’aimantation dans de fines couches ferromagnétiques grâce au couplage magnéto-élastique. Cela permettrait un adressage non-inductif, efficace, et distant des ondes de spin. Dans un premier volet, nous avons développé un dispositif expérimental générant des ondes acoustiques de surface (ODS) électriquement, verrouillées en phase à des impulsions de laser sonde. La dynamique d’aimantation est détectée grâce aux effets magnéto-optiques (Kerr et Voigt). Nous étudions le couplage magnétoélastique résonant dans une couche mince du semiconducteur magnétique (Ga,Mn)As. Afin d’atteindre la résonance, la fréquence des ondes de spin est ajustée à celle des ODS par un champ magnétique. Nous isolons les contributions photo-élastique et magnéto-optique du signal, pour quantifier l’amplitude de la précession d’aimantation. Nous montrons que la précession observée est exclusivement déclenchée par l’ODS. La variation en champ de son amplitude correspond très bien à celle calculée, et elle est maximum au champ pour laquelle l’absorption de l’ODS est maximale, démontrant clairement la résonance magnétoacoustique. L’influence de la fréquence et de la puissance de l’ODS, ainsi que de la température sur l’efficacité du couplage est également explorée. Dans un deuxième volet, nous avons excité des ODS par effet thermoélastique grâce à un faisceau laser focalisé, et cela sur des couches magnétiques métalliques cette fois-ci (Ni, FeGa, Co), déposées sur un substrat transparent (verre, sapphire). Des cartes spatio-temporelles du déplacement de la surface et du signal magnéto-optique ont été obtenues. Un décalage du spectre magnéto-optique vers les hautes fréquences semble indiquer une excitation des ondes de spin par les ODS.In the developing field of spin wave-based information technology, this work investigates the possibility to use surface acoustic waves (SAW) to excite spin-waves in ferromagnetic thin layers relying on the magnetoelastic coupling. This would provide a non-inductive, efficient, and remote addressing of spin waves. In the first project we develop an experimental setup to generate electrically excited SAWs phase-locked to probe laser pulses. The magnetization dynamics is detected by an optical bridge using magneto-optical effects (Kerr and Voigt). We investigate the resonant magneto-elastic coupling in a thin film of the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As. To reach resonant coupling, the spin-wave frequency is scanned across the SAW frequency using a magnetic field. We disentangle the photoelastic contribution from the magneto-optical one, from which we obtain the amplitude of magnetization precession. We show that it is driven solely by the acoustic wave. Its field dependence is shown to agree well with theoretical calculations. Its amplitude resonates at the same field as the resonant attenuation of the acoustic wave, clearly evidencing the magnetoacoustic resonance with high sensitivity. The influence of temperature, SAW frequency and power on the coupling efficiency are studied. In the second project we use SAWs thermoelastically excited by a tightly focused laser beam on ferromagnetic metals (Ni, FeGa, Co) on a transparent substrate (glass, sapphire). Spatio-temporal maps of the surface displacement and magneto-optical signal are obtained. A high-frequency shift of the frequency spectrum of the latter gives a hint for spin-wave excitation by SAWs
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
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
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
