Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
Etude et réalisation d'un détecteur (filtre) multispectral par dispersion non destructive spectrale à travers des films à nanostructure
The development of multispectral imaging, holography and lithography techniques exploits the properties of diffracting arrays in a wide variety of photonic components. They are incorporated in laser diodes as distributed Bragg reflectors, in various integrated optical functions for wavelength division multiplexing or optical interconnections, or inscribed within the fibers themselves, leading to a wide variety of sensors for detection of chemical elements, measurement of temperatures, pressures, accelerations of acquisition and or restitution of multispectral images, etc. [Lee et al. 2007] [Pagnoux et al. 2005].Among these devices, the resonant networks arouse a great interest because they allow to obtain ultra-selective filters from a relatively simple structure. This structure consists of a dielectric guide on which is etched a subwavelength network of shallow depth and thickness. Except resonance, the structure reflects and transmits the light according to the properties of reflectivity and transmission very close to those of the diopter constituted by the stack of dielectric layers.This work presents the experimental and theoretical studies carried out to overcome the technological obstacles inherent to the realization of thin-film multispectal optical filters.The aim of this thesis is to study and design ultra-selective optical filters based on nanoscale thin films, by exploiting a resonant network structure conceived by depositing multilayer nanowires of metamaterials to surpass the performances of the current filters. Particular in the field of their spectral characteristics and their sensitivity to polarization. An issue of the study is to develop the associated manufacturing process, to identify the technological limitations imposed by the state of the art, to propose a reproducible process and if possible compatible with a collective technological development and low cost.The second was to use the samples from the fabrication of the diffraction gratings to associate it with a tri-CCD transistor-based sensor in the LE2I laboratory, in order to design a sharp acquisition device in multispectral imaging and of vision.The analysis of experimental performances, confronted with theoretical predictions and technological limitations, must lead to a realistic estimate of the potentialities of the proposed filters. To do this we began our study with a literature review on all the key elements of the subject, Nanotechnology, nanoscience these advantages these disadvantages, these possibilities. A review of the literature on multispectral imaging and these ascendants.Le développement des techniques d’imageries multispectral, d’holographie et de lithographie permet d’exploiter les propriétés des réseaux diffractant dans une grande variété de composants photoniques. Ils sont incorporés dans des diodes laser comme réflecteurs de Bragg distribués, dans différentes fonctions d’optique intégrée pour le multiplexage en longueur d’onde ou les interconnexions optiques, ou inscrits au sein même des fibres, conduisant à une grande variété de capteurs pour la détection d’éléments chimiques, la mesure des températures, des pressions, des accélérations d’acquisition et ou de restitution d’images multispectrales etc... [Lee et al. 2007] [Pagnoux et al. 2005].Parmi ces dispositifs, les réseaux résonnants suscitent un très vif intérêt car ils permettent d’obtenir des filtres ultra-sélectifs à partir d’une structure relativement simple. Cette structure est constituée par un guide diélectrique sur lequel est gravé un réseau sub-longueur d’onde de faible profondeur et ou épaisseur. Hors résonance, la structure réfléchit et transmet la lumière selon les propriétés de réflectivité et transmission très proches de celles du dioptre constitué par l’empilement de couches diélectriques
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We 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
We 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
