    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

    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

    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

    Thermischer Komfort, Energieeffizienz und Nutzerverhalten in koreanischen Wohnhochhäusern

    Recently, the political and social interest in energy-efficient residential buildings in South Korea, as well as the required technical measures for such practice has grown rapidly. However, experience in the field of energy-efficient buildings in Germany has indicated that not all proven measures for energy efficiency have achieved the expected energy savings in practice. "Incorrect" user behaviour has been repeatedly mentioned as a cause of such failure. Sometimes certain measures caused a thermally uncomfortable indoor environment or even mould growth, which results in user complaints. Therefore, a holistic approach taking the indoor climate, energy efficiency and user behaviour into consideration becomes more and more important. The objective of this thesis is to analyse the current situation of representative South Korean high-rise residential buildings and to offer recommendations based on the holistic, multi-faceted approach considering thermal comfort, energy efficiency and user behaviour. For this purpose, measurements and questionnaire are conducted. This study shows that "incorrect" user behaviour can be physically explained and could be avoided. The user and the environment should be considered carefully prior to the implementation of a specific measure.In letzter Zeit hat das politische und gesellschaftliche Interesse an energieeffizienten Wohngebäuden in Korea rasant zugenommen und dementsprechend sind technische Maßnahmen für die Praxis gesucht. Aber die Erfahrungen in Deutschland zeigen, dass nicht alle Maßnahmen für energieeffizientes Bauen in der Praxis die vorhergesagte Energieeinsparung erzielen und nicht selten wird das falsche Nutzerverhalten als Ursache des Mißerfolgs genannt. Zudem verursachten manche Maßnahmen ein thermisch unbehagliches Raumklima oder Schimmelpilze, welche wiederum Nutzerbeschwerden verursachten. Deshalb hat jüngst eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung des Raumklimas, der Nutzer, und der Energieeffizienz an Bedeutung gewonnen. Das Ziel der Dissertation ist es, die Ist-Situation der Koreanischen Wohnhochhäuser zu analysieren und aus oben genannter ganzheitlicher Betrachtung praktische Empfehlungen für ein energieeffizientes und komfortables Wohnhochhaus in Korea abzugeben. Für das Ziel wurde das Raumklima in 24 Wohnungen in vier Wohnhochhaussiedlungen in Seoul für ein Jahr gemessen und die Energieverbrauchdaten analysiert
