RRS Discovery Cruise DY111, 2 December 2019 – 9 January 2020. Punta Arenas, Chile – Punta Arenas, Chile. CUSTARD: Carbon Uptake and Seasonal Traits in Antarctic Remineralisation Depth
Full text linkThe CUSTARD project examines how seasonal changes in nutrient availability for phytoplankton, at a key junction of the global ocean circulation, influence how long carbon is trapped in the ocean rather than escaping to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
If we want to understand the role of the Southern Ocean in regulating global climate we need to understand both how much carbon is used to make phytoplankton at the ocean surface and how deep this material penetrates into the ocean interior; the ‘remineralisation depth’. The objective of CUSTARD is to make new observations of the remineralisation depth and its controls in an important, yet remote, region of the Southern Ocean, using a combination of gliders, a mooring, sophisticated new sensors and a process cruise. The observations will be combined with modelling to determine the key processes regulating carbon uptake in the Southern Ocean.
CUSTARD fieldwork began with DY096 in Nov-Dec 2019. A surface mooring and two gliders were deployed at the OOI site (54.42 S 89 W) to make observations throughout the year. One glider was lost early on and the second had to be recovered in November 2019 after it became trapped at the surface. The mooring was recovered on DY112.
DY111 was a process cruise immediately prior to the mooring recovery cruise (DY112), to allow a more detailed study of the biogeochemistry of the site at the key spring bloom period. Objectives were: to deploy two other gliders (just for the duration of the cruise); to deploy 6 BGC ARGO floats on behalf of the SOCCOM project; to do multiple visits to 3 sites along 89 W (OOI, TN at 57S and TS at 60S); and to carry out a full depth CTD transect between OOI and TS at 1 degree latitude resolution. All objectives were met, though one glider had to be recovered immediately after deployment due to a leak. Additionally, a modest spatial survey was carried out collecting underway data and samples along a grid-pattern extending 90km west of 89W, to assess upstream properties and gradients.
The cruise was exceptionally fortunate both in weather and in coinciding strongly with the spring bloom spanning the area.

DY096 marked the start of one year of observations by CUSTARD. Cruise objectives included the deployment of a surface mooring and two gliders to make observations throughout the year until they would be retrieved on a cruise at the start of 2020. Immediately prior to the recovery cruise a process cruise is planned. For DY096 the surface mooring was provided and deployed by a team from WHOI as part of the NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative. The mooring had also been adapted by WHOI to integrate novel NOC lab-on-a-chip nitrate and silicate sensors. Another aim was to recover the surface mooring already at the site, now into its third year after recovery was not possible in 2017, and the lower parts of two subsurface moorings, all parts of the original OOI array. These deployments and recoveries were the priorities together with the collection of observations to calibrate the sensors on mooring and gliders. If further iron and optical particulate data could be obtained it would also be very useful to inform planning for the 2019 process cruise.
Weather, swell and a ship issue restricted time on site to 102 hours of which conditions were suitable to deploy/recover equipment over the side for just 61 hours, out of a 16 day cruise. Nevertheless, all of the priorities were achieved. It was also possible to collect some limited samples for iron concentrations but not to collect any standalone optical particulate observations.

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
