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
Zgradba in rast bukovih sestojev na rastišču Isopyro-fagetum
Full text linkDelo predstavlja rezultate analize, izvedene v pogorju Kuma na rastiščih, ki jih poraščajo fitocenoze, ki jih uvrščamo v sintaksonomsko enoto Isopyro-Fagetum. Analizirali smo bukove sestoje v optimalni razvojni fazi. Pri zgradbi sestojev smo ugotovili drevesno sestavo, debelinsko in višinsko zgradbo, socialno zgradbo in sortimentno sestavo. Analizo smo izvedli na petih vzorčnih ploskvah. Izvedli smo debelno analizo 271 dreves z namenom, da bi ugotovili zakonitosti višinske in debelinske rasti ter prisotnost rdečega srca. Na temelju rastiščnih indeksov smo ugotovili, da znaša proizvodna sposobnost rastišča, katerih fitocenoze so uvrščene v asociacijo Isopyro-Fagetum, od 4,2 do 7,4 m3/ha/leto neto debeljadi, oziroma od 4,5 do 8,0 m3/ha/leto bruto debeljadi.The thesies represents the results cariied out in the mountain chain of Kum onsites overgrown by phytocenosis arrayed into Isopyro-Fagetum syntaxon. We analysed the beech stands in optimal development phase. In the stands structure we were examining tree structure, diameter and height structure, structure of stands to the social tree layer and stem quality structure. In the five sample plots size of 30 x 30 m stands in optimal phase have been analyzed. We carried out the trunk analysis of 271 trees with the intension of ascertaining the diameter and height growth and presence of red heart. On the basis of site indicies it was established that the productivity in the site unity Isopyro-Fagetum ranges from 4,2 to 7,4 m3/ha/year (timber ? ? cm without bark) or 4,5 to 8,0 m3/ha/year (timber ? ? cm with bark) respectively
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
Quality structure of beech stands and red heartwood appearance on the Isopyro-Fagetum KOŠ. 62 site
No full textV prispevku obravnavamo kakovost bukovih sestojev na rastiščih, ki jih uvrščamo v združbo Isopyro-Fagetum. Analiza je pokazala na precejšnjo pogostost napak debla, na nizko ležeče slepice, na pogost pojav rdečega srca in posledično na slabo sortimentno strukturo. Med tipi srca prevladuje normalno rdeče srce, sledi abnormalno, pogosta je tudi trohnoba.This paper analyses the quality of beech stands on sites classified into Isopyro-Fagetum association. Analysis showed rather high frequency of stem defects, low situated covered knot on tree stems, frequent red heartwood appearance and consequently an unfavorable assortment structure. The normal type prevails among the red heartwood types and it is followed by the abnormaltype. Rottenness occurs often as well
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
