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
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
Evaluation of CIAE Screw Press for Production of Medium Fat Soy Flour
No full textA laboratory level screw press on conceptual design of single feed double stage compression was developed and tested on soybean. Soybeans were given four different pre-optimised. pretreatment prior to their pressing in the developed CIAE screw press. These pretreatments included (i) dry extrusion cooking of whole and (ii) dehulled soy splits and (iii) blanching of whole and (iv) dehulled soy splits. Results indicated that using the developed screw press and studied pretreatments. good quality edible grade MFSF and soybean oil as per norms of Indian Standards could be produced. The developed press was found to have a maximum capacity of 15 kg/h and the specific energy consumption was 0.054 kWh/kg of feed
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
Development and Evaluation of Soy-Fortified Sattu
No full text\u27Sattu . is a roasted flour mixture of cereal and pulse combination and used as \u27ready -to-eat\u27 snack food in most parts of India. Owing to its high nutritional balance, long shelf life and excellent taste, sattu is also a popular supplement food especially in rural part of the country. Efforts were made in the present study to fortify soybean and wheat with bengal gram (Chickpea) in various proportions to prepare nutritious and ready to eat snack. The selected grains were moisture conditioned to 30% level, roasted, powdered and then blended in different proportions to develop an acceptable final product with maximum nutritional benefit and adequate shelf life. Soybeans were blended in the range of 10 to 40% while wheat was incorporated from 10 to 35% and the proportion of Bengal gram varied in the range of40 to 70%. The products developed were analyzed for their proximate composition, shelf life and sensory evaluation. Results indicated that protein content of the developed products increased from 16 to 72% when compared to the conventional wheat bengal gram sattu. while fat content increased by 26 to 139% depending upon the level of soybean fortification. Results of sensory evaluation showed that soy-wheat-sattu fortified up to a level of 30% soybean were acceptable. The shelf life studies indicated that soy-sattu could safely be stored in metallic containers up to 60 days during summer and rainy seasons
