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
Study the Socio-economic Status of Fishers of Egra-I Block of Purba Medinipur District, West Bengal, India
No full textThe present study was carried out to assess the socio-economic condition of fishermen of Egra-I block in Purba Medinipur district during the period from August 2022 to December 2022. The data were collected from 65 fishermen through survey sheet. The study was executed on the basis of personal interview. The study shows that most of the fishermen (95%) were Hindus, where 5% Muslims. The educational level of fishermen was very poor, 2% illiterate, 75% Primary pass, 15% Secondary pass and only 8% Higher Secondary pass. The housing condition of fishermen is maximum kutcha (65%), pucca (25%) and semi-pucca (10%). It was observed that there were 85% nuclear and 15% joint families. The annual income of fishermen varies from Rs.45,000 to Rs.1,00000. The main occupation of fishermen is the cultivation of paddy and ground nut. Fishing is the secondary occupation
Incorporating Sweet Lime Peel (Citrus limetta) Powder in Gold Fish (Carrasius auratus) Diets for Improvising Colour Stability in Home Aquarium
Full text linkThe ornamental fish industry is a rapidly growing sector, contributing significantly to global trade and aquaculture. Among various ornamental species, goldfish (Carassius auratus) is one of the most widely bred and aesthetically valued species due to their diverse coloration, adaptability, and ease of maintenance. The coloration of these ornamental fish is a critical factor influencing their marketability and consumer preference. The use of natural carotenoids in fish feed to intensify the colouration has become a preferable as well as profitable choice for fish farmers to meet the demand of radiant ornamental fish within budget. This study investigates the effect of sweet lime (Citrus limetta) peel powder as a natural dietary carotenoid source on the pigmentation and growth performance of ornamental goldfish (Carassius auratus). Goldfish were fed formulated diets supplemented with varying concentrations of sweet lime peel powder (50–150 g/kg i.e. 5−15%) over a 60-day period. Growth performance parameters, including weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), and feed conversion ratio (FCR), were analysed parallelly with total carotenoid deposition in muscle and fins. Results indicate that fish fed with 8–10% dietary carotenoid supplementation showed optimal pigmentation enhancement and carotenoid deposition, while excessive supplementation beyond 12% showed reduced efficiency. Statistical analyses confirmed significant differences in carotenoid accumulation across treatments (p < 0.05), with peak deposition observed in the 10% supplementation group. However, no significant differences in growth performance were detected among treatment groups. Water quality parameters remained stable throughout the study, ensuring optimal rearing conditions. The findings highlight the efficacy of sweet lime peel as a cost-effective, natural carotenoid source for enhancing goldfish coloration without compromising growth or survival. This study contributes to sustainable aquafeed development by utilizing fruit waste for ornamental fish nutrition
