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
Hearing screening by the public switched telephone network : Development and validation of test application
No full textEn stor del av befolkningen har en hörselnedsättning men långt ifrån alla som skulle kunna dra nytta av hörselhjälpmedel söker vård i tid. Det finns ett behov av att kunna göra ett snabbt och enkelt screening-test hemifrån och i flera andra europeiska länder har det för det ändamålet tagits fram telefon- och Internetbaserade hörseltest av tresiffertyp. Dessa tester spelar upp tre inlästa siffror samtidigt som ett störande brus-ljud och en adaptiv metod används för att automatiskt uppskatta testpersonens genomsnittliga, uppfattbara signal-brus-förhållande. Studier har visat att förmågan att urskilja tal i brus försämras för personer med hörselnedsättning och att den absoluta uppspelningsvolymen inte spelar väsentlig roll så länge ljudet är klart hörbart. Ett svenskt talmaterial för ett sådant test har tagits fram inom EU-projektet HearCom. Syftet med examensarbetet var att implementera och validera en funktionell och prisvärd lösning i samarbete med en aktör inom telekommunikationsbranschen. Efter en upphandlingsprocess valdes ett Linux-baserat system med den öppna telefonserver-programvaran Asterisk. En normalstudie genomfördes där resultaten pekar på att det utvecklade testet är jämförbart med liknande test i andra länder. Telefontestet jämfördes även med en befintlig Internetversion och båda testerna utvärderades med avseende på användbarhet. Vissa förbättringsåtgärder har föreslagits för testerna. Rapporten tar också upp förutsättningar för en relevant gränssättning av testerna samt de återstående stegen till en färdig talsvarstjänst som allmänheten kan ha nytta av
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
Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Cuprates and Manganites
No full textAbstract In this thesis, the high temperature superconductors (HTSC) La2CuO4+x and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d and the colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) La1-xSrxMnO3 have been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. Techniques such as angular resolved photoemission (ARPES), resonant photoemission spectroscopy (RESPES) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy have been applied, using synchrotron radiation. The aim of the study has been to investigate the electronic structure of these materials. By using resonance photoemission spectroscopy on La2CuO4+x single crystals, we have found the presence of La states in a large region in the valence band and strong evidence for the existence of surface derived La-O electronic bands in the c^surface orientation. We have also investigated the influence of surface termination effects by using different methods of cleaving the samples. This reveals that the topmost layer can be either La-O or Cu-O, giving rise to remarked different photoelectron spectra. The generally accepted picture of the Fermi-surface topology of B2Sr2CaCu2O8, is large hole-like crossings centered around the X(Y) symmetric point. We have performed angular resolved measurements showing that by choosing a proper photon energy and experimental geometry, an electron-like Fermi surface can clearly be seen centered at the G-point. We have also found that the ARPES holelike Fermi surface is photon energy dependent. Magnetoresistant materials such as the La1-xSrxMnO3 exhibit a complicated phase diagram as function of doping and temperature. Many questions remain to be answered regarding their electronic and magnetic structure. By core level spectroscopy on single crystal in a wide doping region and for different temperatures temperature. Doping and temperature dependent shifts were seen in the core levels, reflecting the changes in screening and band filling connected to the different regime in the phase diagram. The properties of the states in the valence band and close to the Fermi level are of fundamental importance of describing the electronic properties of the complex metal oxides. Up to now, few systematic studies of the valence band with respect to doping and temperature have been performed. By angular resolved and angular integrated valence band spectroscopy on single crystals we have observed binding energy shifts of the spectral features in the valence band for increasing Sr concentration, as well as an increase of the density of states close to the Fermi level. A feature, which has not previously been observed, was found in the valence band. Resonant photoemission close to the Mn 2p threshold shows that this feature is related to Mn states. The nature of this feature is discussed in terms of band structure and Mn 3d orbital orientation
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
