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
Nouvelles identifications d’impact melts au pôle Sud lunaire et évaluation de leur accessibilité pour de futures missions d’exploration lunaire
Full text linkLes impact melts sont des formations géologiques qui se créent lorsqu’un impacteur frappe la
surface d’un corps rocheux. Avec suffisamment de vélocité, un impact peut générer assez de
chaleur et de pression pour faire fondre la matière-cible. Sur la Lune, les impact melts sont
exceptionnellement bien préservés en raison de la quasi-absence de processus d’érosion. La NASA
a identifié l’échantillonnage d’impact melts comme une priorité, car ils se révèlent des cibles de
choix pour perfectionner la calibration d’une géochronologie lunaire. Le retour de nouveaux
échantillons d’impact melts sur Terre permettra d’améliorer les techniques d’estimation de l’âge
de la surface lunaire, telles que l’utilisation d’indice de maturité optique et le comptage de cratères.
Dans un contexte où il existe un intérêt pour l’exploration humaine et robotisée du pôle Sud lunaire,
une cartographie sud-polaire de détections d’impact melts a été réalisée entre les latitudes -70°
et -90°. Les données du capteur Mini-RF de ratio de polarisation circulaire et des images optiques
à haute résolution dérivées du Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera Narrow Angle Camera
(LROC-NAC) ont été utilisées pour identifier par photo-interprétation des impact melts. Trentehuit identifications d’impact melts réparties près de neuf cratères ont été répertoriées. Les unités
géologiques sur lesquelles reposent les impact melts, de même que leur composition minéralogique
ont été extraites. Finalement, l’accessibilité des impact melts pour de futures missions robotisées
ou humaines a été évaluée, où il a été déterminé que le cratère Schomberger A possède l’impact
melt le plus accessible en vue de l’échantillonnage. Ce travail permettra à court terme d’augmenter
la couverture spatiale des impact melts et de déterminer quels impact melts sont les plus accessibles
en vue de l’échantillonnage. À long terme, le perfectionnement des techniques de datation de la
surface lunaire permettra de mieux comprendre l’historique d’impacts dans le système Terre-LuneAbstract: Impact melts are geological formations created when an impactor strikes the surface of a rock body.
With sufficient velocity, an impact can generate enough heat and pressure to melt the target
material. On the Moon, impact melts are exceptionally well preserved due to the virtual absence of
erosion processes. NASA has identified impact melt sampling as a priority, as they are proving to
be prime targets for perfecting the calibration of lunar geochronology. The return of new impact
melt samples to Earth will enable us to improve techniques for estimating the age of the lunar
surface, such as the use of optical maturity indices and crater counts. In a context where there is
interest in human and robotic exploration of the lunar south pole, a south-polar mapping of impact
melt detections has been carried out between latitudes -70° and -90°. Data from the Mini-RF
circular polarisation ratio sensor and high-resolution optical images derived from the Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera Narrow Angle Camera (LROC-NAC) were used to identify
impact melts by photo-interpretation. Thirty-eight impact melts were identified in nine craters. The
geological units on which the impact melts rest and their mineralogical composition were extracted.
Finally, the accessibility of the impact melts for future robotic or human missions was assessed,
and it was determined that the Schomberger A crater has the most accessible impact melt for
sampling. In the short term, this work will increase the spatial coverage of impact melts and
determine which impact melts are most accessible for sampling. In the long term, the refinement
of lunar surface dating techniques will provide a better understanding of the impact history of the
Earth-Moon system
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn 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.
