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
XPM-induced intensity noise in WDM compensated transmission systems
No full textA new linear model of the XPM-induced intensity noise is used for a fast evaluation of the system degrdation

Analysis of cross-phase modulation induced intensity noise in high-speed dispersion compensated transmission systems
No full textWe introduce an improved theoretical
model for the cross-phase modulation (XPM) induced
intensity noise, and we evaluate the XPM-related

Intensity Distortion Induced by Cross-Phase Modulation and Chromatic Dispersion in Optical-Fiber Transmissions with Dispersion Compensation
No full textIn dispersion compensated systems, the intensity
distortion induced by the interplay between cross-phase modulation
and fiber chromatic dispersion can be a primary cause
of transmission degradation. This interplay is mostly studied by
time-consuming computer simulations. This letter introduces a
new model of this interplay in fiber transmissions with dispersion
compensation, leading to a linear filter that, applied to the input
intensity of a modulated interfering channel, gives the intensity
distortion of a continuous-wave probe signal at the receiver. The
model can be of significant value in the search for optimized
dispersion maps

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
SPM/XPM-induced intensity distortion in WDM systems
No full textIn high bit rate multiwavelength optical transmission systems, self-phase (SPM) and cross-phase modulation (XPM) interact with fiber chromatic dispersion producing intensity distortion on tghe transmitted signals. In this paper, starting from a generalization of Wang and Petermann [1], wghich approximately predicts the effect of phase-to-intensity modulation (PM/IM) conversion in purely linear fibers, we introduce a new analytical model of thge intensity distortions induced by SPM and XPM. The model well captures the distributed generation of SPM (XPM) by accounting for the PM/IM conversion due to the infinitesimal SPM (XPM) components generated in each infinitesimal segment along the fiber
