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
Préserver la séparation des préoccupations durant l’intégration de domaines hétérogènes dans les systèmes logiciels
No full textThe growing complexity of software engineering leads to the use of separation of concerns, i.e. enable to consider manageable sub-systems while keeping an overview of the whole system. The domain variability involved in these system design imply : (i) to compose multiple heterogeneous metamodels dedicated to each domain, (ii) to handle cross-domain consistency of the model produced in isolation, (iii) and to tame the multiplicity of concrete artefact available in the solution space of each domain. To adress these challenges, we offer in this thesis an approach encompassing three contributions :- an isolation-compliant composition which benefits from Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) integration. Each domain metamodel is embedded in a service exposing the rele- vant behavior through an interface designed and used by domain experts ; - a business rule engine handling the interaction between domains and detecting cross-domain incon- sistency to provide relevant feedback to resolve it ;- a feature-based characterization of the products variability allowing to concretize each sub-system toward concrete artifacts. The contributions are applied on the sensor data visualization use case.We validate (i) the need for domain isolation preservation on a dashboard design project, then we quantify (ii) the overhead of the service encapsulation, (iii) the impact of the externalization of domain interactions, (iv) the effort required from the experts and the integrator. Finally, we proceed to a user experiment to measure the gain during the concretization of a sub-system, and the impact on the user satisfaction on the resulting visualisation widgets.La séparation des préoccupations permet de considérer les sous-systèmes en isolation tout en conservant une vision globale du système. La variabilité des domaines impliqués implique donc (i) un effort de composition des méta-modèles hétérogènes représentant ces domaines, (ii) une gestion de la cohérence inter-domaine des modèles produits en isolation et (iii) une gestion de la multiplicité des cibles atteignables dans l'espace des solutions de chacun des domaines. Pour relever ces défis, nous présentons dans cette thèse une approche couvrant trois contributions appliquées sur le cas de la visualisation de données :- une approche de composition respectant l'isolation des domaines en tirant profit des méthodes d'intégration des Architectures Orientées Services (SOA). Les méta-modèles sont encapsulés dans des services, exposant le comportement pertinent via une interface à destination des experts du domaine ;- un moteur de règles métiers qui assure la gestion des interactions entre domaines et permet de détecter les incohérences inter-domaine et de faire remonter aux experts les informations nécessaires à leur résolution ;- une modélisation de la variabilité des produits par caractérisation qui permet de concrétiser les sous-systèmes vers des artefacts concrets.Pour valider l'approche, nous quantifions (i) le surcoût de l'encapsulation en service des domaines, (ii) l'impact de l'externalisation des interactions entre domaines, (iii) l'effort que les experts et l'intégrateur doivent fournir. Enfin, une expérience utilisateur mesure le gain lors de la concrétisation du système et son impact sur la satisfaction vis à vis des visualisations résultantes

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
