Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Anomalous effect of Li-Al codoping in MgB2: A simple explanation
No full textBy means of first-principles calculations we investigate the possibility that coincorporation of Li and Al in MgB2 could result in an effective "isoelectronic" doping, such as to introduce chemical and structural disorder while leaving unchanged the occupation of the sigma and pi bands. Our results show that the effect on electronic structure of codoping in MgB2 is far from trivial, and shed light on the experimental findings indicating a scarce contribution of Li to the superconducting properties of Mg1-x(AlLi)(x)B-2. The latter result has often been unnecessarily interpreted in terms of the experimental difficulty of actually incorporating Li into the samples

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Fansubbing: latest trends and future prospects
No full textAs we advance into the digital age, the pervasive omnipresence and democratization of technology is progressively enhancing the co-creation and circulation of user-generated (UG), digital artifacts on the interactive version of the web, commonly known as the Web 2.0. Since the turn of the new millennium, prousers, prosumers (Toffler 1980) and produsers (Bruns 2008) united have intervened prolifically in a plethora of virtual spaces by producing an overabundant volume of DIY content relying on non-professional translation approaches to audiovisual products legally and illegally distributed on the Internet, with fandubbing and fansubbing leading the way. ‘Fansubbing’, a term coined back in the 1980s to define the activity of fans subtitling for fellow fans, was initiated in association with anime subculture (O’Hagan 2009), whereas, in the new millennium, ‘the second wave of fansubbing’ (Massidda 2019) flourished in conjunction with the so-called golden age of TV shows characterized by US TV productions ‘investing large amounts of cash in ambitious projects created by famous producers and directors’ (Massidda 2015: 114), relying on excellent scripts and featuring an endless list of actors belonging to the cinema industry. Although technological advances have transformed the mediascape and ‘aggrandized its potential with the introduction of new distribution channels aiming to reach wider and ever more global audiences’ (Diaz Cintas and Massidda 2019), the quantitative shift in audiovisual (AV) content produced for linear TV and Video Streaming on Demand (VoD), which went from small to immense in a few years, proved highly disruptive for producers, localisation service providers (LSPs) and consumers. In addition, the explosion of over-the-top (OTT) services such as Amazon Prime, HBO Now, Hulu and Netflix, along with the never-ending production of a wide variety of serialized formats, have swiftly raised the demand for AV content localisation across the glob
