    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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

    Ready Reckoner for feeding of crossbred dairy cattle (For 400 kg crossbred cow) ICAR-National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology, Adugodi, Bangalore. Compiled and Edited by Dr.D.Rajendran, Dr. N.K.S. Gowda, Dr. S. Anandan, Dr. Letha Devi Dr. K.S. Prasad Kannada Translation: Dr. N.K.S. Gowda Published by: Dr Raghavendra Bhatta , Director Milk Yield (lit/Day) Recommended Ration (Kg/Day) High green Moderate green Low Green Concentrate (kg/day) Green Roughages (kg/day) Dry fodder (kg/day) Concentrate Mixture: It is prepared by mixing 30 parts of grains (combination of maize, broken rice, bajra, sorghum or minor millets), 36 parts of brans and chunnis (Combination of wheat bran, rice bran, gram chunnies), 30 parts of oil cakes (Combination of cotton seed meal, soybean meal, ground nut cake, coconut cake sunflower oilcake, til cake), 1.5 part salt, 1.5 part calcite, 1 part mineral mixture / area specific mineral mixture. Mix thoroughly and keep in dry and moisture free condition. Commercial concentrate mixture also can be used with 18 % CP and Min. 65 % TDN. Feed recommended level as shown in Ready Reckoner in three divided dose. Green roughage: Maize fodder, Bajra X Napier hybrid grass, para grass, mature sorghum, guinea grass etc., are few examples of green grasses used for feeding. Recommended level of green grass should be chopped at one inch length and fed to the animal in 2-3 divided quantity. During scarcity minimum of 1-2 kg of green grasses is essential to keep the animal in good health. Dry roughage: paddy straw, wheat straw, sorghum stover, maize stover, dried areca sheath, dried grasses, ground halums, dried tree leaves etc., can be used as dry roughages. Recommended level of dry roughages should be chopped to the level of one inch and fed to dairy cows. ©All copyrights reservedIt is an android application for formulating ration for crossbred dairy cow and milch buffalo. Balanced ration is formulated based on level of milk production i.e., 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15 and 20 lit/day for a cow weighing 400 kg at different levels of availability of green fodder per day. Similarly for milch buffalo balanced ration is formulated based on level of milk production i.e., 3, 6, 9 and 12 lit/day and weighing 450 kg at different levels of availability of green fodder per day (High, moderate and low)NIAN

    A few golden moments

    There were several Golden moments to be remembered during my tenure of 16 years in CMFRI. I consider it as a great privilege and honour to have been given the opportunity of serving CMFRI for a major part of my official career and finally to be elevated to the rank of Director. In fact every symposium, seminar, visit of Hon'ble Ministers, Hon'ble Members of Parliament committees and other dignitaries to the Institute provided the golden moments of joy and happiness to the staff members in view of the appreciation of the work done by the Institute expressed by these dignitaries from time to time. In fact it was the unity among the staff and the support extended from their side which provided the Institute with fame and glory

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    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

    After a certain age, reminiscences become a way of life, looking back at events of the past and one's contributions towards betterment of societal concerns. Such recollections, when positive, give great joy, happiness and satisfaction. By God's Grace, my life is filled with such reminiscences and the one I intend saying has something to do about my nearly sixty years association with the CMFRI, which I first visited at Mandapam Camp in 1948 as a graduate student of Madras Christian College led by Late Prof. J. P. Joshua, when a young, handsome aristocrat named Raghu Prasad, gave us a pep talk about Marine Sciences. Least did I think at that time, that I would later have a "life-time" association with the Institution
