Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Reliability and failure analysis of electronic devices under electro-thermal constraints for mecatronic applications
No full textL’amélioration des systèmes de conversion d’énergie rend les dispositifs à base de SiC très attractifs pour leur efficacité, compacité et robustesse. Cependant, leur comportement en réponse à un défaut de court-circuit doit être soigneusement étudié pour assurer la fiabilité des systèmes. Ce travail de recherche porte sur les problèmes de robustesse et de fiabilité du MOSFET SiC sous contraintes de court-circuit. Cette étude repose sur des caractérisations électriques et microstructurales. La somme de toutes les caractérisations avant, pendant et après les tests de robustesse ainsi que l’analyse microstructurale permet de définir des hypothèses sur l’origine physique de la défaillance pour ce type de composants. De plus, la mesure de la capacité est introduite au cours des tests de vieillissement en tant qu’indicateur de santé et outil clé pour remonter à l’origine physique du défaut.The improvement of power conversion systems makes SiC devices very attractive for efficiency, compacity and robustness. However, their behavior in response to short circuit mode must be carefulli studied to ensure the reliability of systems. This research work deals with the SiC MOSFET robustness and reliability issues under short-circuit constraints. It is based upon electrical and microstructural characterizations. The sum of all the characterizations before, during and after the robustness tests as well as microstructural analysis allow to define hypotheses regarding the physical origin of failure of such components. Also, caoacitance measurement is introduced during aging tests as a health indicator and a key tool to go back to the physical origin of the defect
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
