Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Robust energy transfer mechanism via precession resonance in nonlinear turbulent wave systems
No full textA robust energy transfer mechanism is found in nonlinear wave systems, which favours transfers towards modes interacting via triads with nonzero frequency mismatch, applicable in meteorology, nonlinear optics and plasma wave turbulence. We emphasise the concepts of truly dynamical degrees of freedom and triad precession. Transfer efficiency is maximal when the triads' precession frequencies resonate with the system's nonlinear frequencies, leading to a collective state of synchronised triads with strong turbulent cascades at intermediate nonlinearity. Numerical simulations confirm analytical predictions
Assessing late-time singular behaviour in symmetry-plane models of 3D Euler flow
No full textMotivated by work on stagnation-point type exact solutions of the 3D Euler fluid equations by Gibbon [Gibbon et. al. Phys. D, 132, 497, (1999)] and the subsequent demonstration of finite-time blowup by Constantin [Constantin, Math. Res. Notices, 9, 455, (2000)] we introduce a one-parameter family of models of the 3D Euler equations on a 2D symmetry plane. These models provide a collection of blow-up scenarios which admit analytical solutions and are computationally inexpensive in comparison to the full 3D Euler equations. We take advantage of these features to examine the efficacy of novel methods which aid the assessment of finite-time blow-up in numerical simulations. The principal of these is the mapping to regular systems [Bustamante, Phys. D, 240, 1092, (2011)]; a bijective nonlinear mapping of time and the prognostic variables based on a Beale-Kato-Majda (BKM) type supremum norm regularity condition [Beale et. al. Commun. Math. Phys. 94, 61, (1984)]. We show a 3 order of magnitude increase of accuracy of the singularity time when employing the mapping with negligible additional computational expense. An investigation of the spectra of the primary field (vortex stretching rate) allows us to confirm a power law decrement of the analyticity-strip width with time in agreement with rigorous bounds bridging between the global spatial behaviour and BKM theorems [Bustamante & Brachet, Phys. Rev. E. 86, (2012)]
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
