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
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
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
Two radar interferometric approaches to monitor slow and fast land deformations
No full textDifferential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR)is a deformation measurement technique that couples two
interesting characteristics. First, being based on remotely sensed data it offers operational advantages, like low cost data acquisition, wide
area coverage, and temporally regular acquisitions. Second, it can be based on rigorous modeling and estimation procedures, which allows
some of the most advanced techniques to derive measurements with high quality standards, comparable with those of some geodetic
methods. The scope of this paper is to describe two complementary approaches to measure slow from a few millimeters up to some
centimeters per year and fast land deformation up to few meters per year . Emphasis is given to the description of the former approach,
which requires multiple SAR images of the same phenomenon and an advanced analysis procedure. The effectiveness of both approaches
is illustrated through two applications on mining areas of small spatial extent located in Spain. In one case the DInSAR capability to fully
detect shape and magnitude of an unknown fast deformation phenomenon is highlighted, whereas in the second one a detailed deformation
map is derived over an urban area, where deformations up to 30 mm/ year occur
Applicazioni in ambito urbano di interferometria differenziale
No full textThis paper describes two examples of deformation monitoring based on two complementary differential interferometric SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) techniques. The first application concerns a thin and elongated infrastructure, the main dike of the Port of Barcelona, while the second one regards a group of buildings in an urban area. In the first application, the dike was measured by using a Persistent Scatterers technique called Stable Point Network and implemented by Altamira Information. This application illustrates the high quality of the deformation estimated derived by this technique. The second application, which was measured by using a classical DInSAR approach and a small set of interferograms, shows the effectiveness of a simple analysis in an operational context
