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

Site Selective Laser Processing for Flexible and Wearable Electronics with 2D Materials and 2D-like Random Networks
Get PDFFlexible and wearable electronics are envisioned as a future platform of electronics integrated into a variety of emerging technologies from sensing and monitoring to human-inspired applications. Among many fascinated flexible applications, displays are aggressively developing field of research and they are widely connected with transistor platform. Currently, the needs of people are being particular about for mobile phones, portable devices, and even televisions; they require new and more advanced displays. Therefore, the future displays should have high performances, such as low power consumption, ultra-high resolution, high frame rate and robust flexible platform. High-mobility thin film transistors will be a key enabling technology for achieving such performance by reducing the transistor size in the display’s active area. Also, they helps to increase aperture ratio, brightness, and frame rates and to decrease bus-line load power consumption.In this regard, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted much interest owing to their finite band gap values, rich excitonic dynamics, and even valley polarization (valleytronics) associated with the broken inversion symmetry. Among these 2D materials, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been considered a channel material for high speed and/or flexible devices and a component material to improve the performance of conventional silicon devices. Furthermore, these layered semiconductors are emerging alternatives to silicon-based electronics. Despite their potentials in electronics and optoelectronics, reliable and stable processing methods are needed for successful transition to practical applications, especially for the flexible/wearable electronics used flexible materials with a low thermal budget (< 200 °C). Typically, used flexible materials cannot be applied conventional high thermal processes, which affect the entire panel including unwanted areas where the high thermal process should be excluded.For the process having the critical limitations of the flexible/wearable applications, the many features of laser are exactly appropriate; the laser is spatially local selective, air-stable, and widely tunable by varying the duration and intensity of laser irradiation. Moreover, laser process can be digitally controlled by the computer with programmable software. In this dissertation, the proposed approaches (laser annealing, direct laser writing, laser welding, and interference lithography) represent a powerful means to realize high performance flexible devices based 2D materials, especially for MoS2.First, I demonstrate that mechanically flexible and optically transparent (more than 81% transmittance in visible wavelength) multilayered MoS2 thin-film transistors (TFTs) in which the source/drain electrodes are selectively annealed using picosecond laser achieve the enhancement of device performance without plastic deformation, such as boosted mobility, increased output resistance, and decreased subthreshold swing. Numerical thermal simulation for the temperature distribution, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, current-voltage measurements, and contact-free mobility extracted from the Y-function method (YFM) enable understanding of the compatibility and the effects of pulsed laser annealing process; the enhanced performance originated not only from a decrease in the Schottky barrier effect at the contact, but also an improvement of the channel interface.Second, through laser direct writing (LDW) method, arbitrary fine patterns are produced for the electrodes as well as defining the channel of TFTs. Also, LDW with ink-jet printing shows the possibility and the potential for the future of flexible/wearable electronics as more versatile process. In addition, interference lithography using phase shift mask allows making periodic nano-scale features, readily.Furthermore, laser process is also applied to the welding for fabricating mechanically robust and electrically attractive 2D-like random networks. The laser welding is compatible with cost-effective solution process and good for the flexible applications. After the laser welding, the sheet resistance of 2D-like networks created by silver nanowires is significantly improved. Note that the best improvement is around 55 times without any degradation of the electrical performance during cycling bending test.These various outcomes from the experiments indicate that the site selective laser process can open up opportunities to fabrication of the electrical devices on flexible platforms
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
