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
Ornithomimidae Marsh 1890
No full textThese various remains represent a distinct family, which may be called the Ornithomimidae.Published as part of Marsh, O. C., 1890, Description of new dinosaurian reptiles, pp. 81-87 in American Journal of Science 39 (229) on page 85, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.337523
Ornithomimus grandis Marsh 1890
No full textA third species, much larger, may be called Ornithomimus grandis. The third metatarsal was about 600mm. in length, and its distal end 90mm. in transverse diameter, and 80mm, in antero-posterior diameter.Published as part of Marsh, O. C., 1890, Description of new dinosaurian reptiles, pp. 81-87 in American Journal of Science 39 (229) on page 85, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.337523
Aublysodon mirandus Leidy 1868
No full text(3) Smaller teeth with no crenulations, and the posterior ridge with a groove (Leidy’s figures 41-45). The wear of the apex is in front. These may be regarded as typical of Aublysodon mirandus, Leidy.Published as part of Marsh, O. C., 1892, Notes on Mesozoic vertebrate fossils, pp. 171-176 in American Journal of Science 260 on page 174, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.283884
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
Mimicking focal epileptic seizures-episodic pain due to a facial foreign body in a puppy: Imaging characteristics and treatment
No full textA 4-month-old female entire Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was referred for investigation into a 3-week history of suspected focal onset seizures, characterised by head nodding and eyelid twitching. An inflammatory soft-tissue reaction surrounding a suspected foreign body (FB) in the subcutaneous tissue and muscles at the level of the left maxilla in the caudal aspect of the left maxillary second molar was detected using MRI. The presence of the FB was confirmed ultrasonographically. This was found to be a grass seed upon surgical removal. The previously reported clinical signs resolved immediately after the surgery. It was suspected that the FB and secondary inflammatory reaction incited a form of trigeminal neuralgia manifesting as paroxysmal head nodding and facial twitching. A form of trigeminal neuralgia should be included in the differential diagnosis of facial focal motor seizures and should be investigated accordingly before initiating any antiepileptic treatment
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
