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
Aurora a and B kinases--targets of novel anticancer drugs.
No full textThe Aurora Kinases are highly related serine-threonine kinases, essential for accurate and equal segregation of genomic material during mitosis. A large number of studies have linked the aberrant expression of Aurora kinases to cancer, leading to the development of specific Aurora kinases inhibitors. Several small molecules inhibit with a similar efficacy both Aurora A and Aurora B, however, in most cases the effects resemble Aurora B disruption by genetic methods, indicating that Aurora B represents an effective therapeutic target. These drugs are currently under preclinical or clinical evaluation and are reviewed in this article. The relevant patents are discussed
THE SKIN OF DESIGN. THE PROJECT OF SENSATIONS
No full textNowadays, there is a growing interest in research regarding material expressivity and sensoriality.
This is due to the renewed consideration of the communicative aspects of products. Technological
evolution has allowed to expand the possibilities of operating on matter; matter can now be
transformed and moulded to our desires. This however has caused materials to lose their identity,
and, as a consequence, the loss of objects identity. The expressive and sensory characterisation of
materials, also known as the design of soft qualities as tactile sensation, colour and transparency, has
given the chance to bring back the cultural, sensorial and communicative dimension to objects.
In fact the relationship that we have with an object, more often than not, directly relates to its surface.
As this is the case, the investigation is focuses on the skin of objects. The goal of this work is to create
a bridge between teaching material selection and processing, and the expressive and sensory
characterisation of materials. The aim of this investigation is to develop a guide that can help design
students to project soft qualities, both visual and tactile, in an appropriate way. The research focuses
on the perception of the materials used in projects, and on how technologies can affect their
sensoriality. More specifically, the work investigates on how finishing processes can give sensory
qualities to the surface of an object of design.
Between the starting points of a project there is the technological and the material choice. Another
option is to design according to the sensory quality that you want to give the object surface. These
sensory qualities depend on the type of material and on the technology used. In fact, technologies,
especially finishing technologies, leave their traces printed in the matter, or rather on its surface.
The technological evolution of materials and technology allows to have high-performance materials,
functional coatings that mask substrates, materials that simulate the luster of metals and the texture of
the wood. Thus, the material identity of an object does not transcend from the material used in the
project, but is reflected from its surface. Scientific literature is full of technical information on
production processes and materials application and characteristics, but it isn’t always easy to link
technologies to the effect obtainable with materials. This led to the creation of project cards that
reorganize materials and technologies according to the sensory and expressive features to be
attributed to the surface. The project cards are divided into two main sections, those who expose the
visual effects and those related to the tactile effects. Each card presents one of these sensory aspects
by organising the finishing technology and the material that produces it. The use of the project cards is
though as dynamic. The application of more than one sensory effect to a surface can be design by the
comparison and identification of the technologies and materials in common of different cards. The
objective is to allow students to visualize the technical solutions for the realization of a surface with the
selected sensory effects
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
