Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Analysis and chemical mapping by electron microscopy of innovative materials with an oxide or oxysulfide matrix for multiferroic or luminescent applications
No full textCe manuscrit porte sur l’étude de phases nanométriques formées après recuit à hautes températures dans le cas de films minces d’oxyde de zinc dopé avec un lanthanide tel que l’europium, le terbium et l’erbium. Le cas d’un film d’oxyde de zinc codopé avec du terbium et de l’europium a également été étudié. Ce mémoire porte également sur la résolution structurale d’un nouveau composé à matrice oxysulfure : Ca4Fe5S4O6 détecté initialement en tant que phase secondaire dans une matrice stœchiométrique CaFeOS. Dans ces deux cas, la microscopie électronique en transmission et ses différentes techniques annexes telles que la tomographie en diffraction, l’imagerie interférentielle et chimique ainsi que les méthodes de spectroscopie ont permis de résoudre les structures cristallines, étudier les arrangements des atomes et les degrés d’oxydation des éléments. Les structures caractérisées ont permis d’expliquer les propriétés de photoluminescence dans le cas des films dopés aux lanthanides et les propriétés magnétiques dans le cas de l’oxysulfure.This manuscript deals with the structural characterization of phases formed after annealing at high temperatures in the case of thin films of zinc oxide doped with a lanthanide such as europium, terbium and erbium. The case of a zinc oxide film co-doped with terbium and europium has been studied as well. This thesis also focuses on the structural characterization of a new compound with an oxysulfide matrix : Ca4Fe5S4O6. In these two cases, transmission electron microscopy and its various techniques such as diffraction tomography, interference and chemical imaging as well as spectroscopy methods allowed us to resolve the crystalline structures, to study the atom arrays and the oxidation states of elements. The characterized structures have made it possible to explain the photoluminescence properties in the case of films doped with lanthanides and the magnetic properties in the case of oxysulfide
Structural analyzes of magnetic hexaferrites Ca2+xFe16-xO26-(x/2) by electron microscopy
No full textCe mémoire porte sur la synthèse et la caractérisation de composés hexaferrites dans le système Ca-Fe-O. Ce travail a permis d’isoler quatre composés sous forme polycristalline ayant pour composition (Ca4Fe5O13)1-x(Fe9O12)1+x (x= 0,334 ; 0,301 et 0,128) et (Ca4Fe5O13)(Fe4O4). Leur structure cristalline a été déterminée à partir de données de diffraction électronique acquises en mode tomographie par précession des électrons et validée à l’aide de l’imagerie haute résolution (HREM et HAADF). Les différents modèles structuraux ont également été confirmés par diffraction des rayons X et des neutrons sur poudre. L’analyse fine des défauts d’intercroissance en imagerie HAADF a révélée des écarts significatifs de composition par rapport à la composition idéale (Ca4Fe5O13)(Fe9O12) à l’origine des trois polymorphes observés. En complément des études menées sur des cristaux de taille micrométrique dans les années 80, l’obtention d’échantillons polycristallins a rendu possible l’étude des propriétés physiques de ces composés. Malgré la complexité de ces structures et la présence de défauts étendus, la spectrométrie Mössbauer a mis en exergue un degré d’oxydation unique pour les atomes de fer (+3) et de confirmer les nombreuses transitions magnétiques initialement détectées par les mesures d’aimantation, ainsi que leur évolution en fonction de l’écart à la stœchiométrie x. Les composés ont également été caractérisés par des mesures de résistivité électrique et de coefficient Seebeck.This thesis reports on the synthesis and the characterization of hexaferrite compounds in the Ca-Fe-O system. This work has allowed to isolate four polycrystalline compounds presenting the chemical formula (Ca4Fe5O13)1-x(Fe9O12)1+x (x= 0.334; 0.301 and 0.128) and (Ca4Fe5O13)(Fe4O4). Their crystalline structure has been determined using the precession electron diffraction tomography and has been validated through high resolution imaging microscopy (HREM/HAADF). X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction studies on polycrystalline samples have confirmed the different structural models. Fine analysis of intergrowth defects in HAADF imaging revealed significant deviations in composition with respect to the ideal composition (Ca4Fe5O13)(Fe9O12) at the origin of the three observed polymorphs. In addition to the studies on micron-sized crystals in the 80s, obtaining polycrystralline samples allowed the measurement of their physical properties. Despite the complexity of these structures and the presence of extensive defects, the Mössbauer spectroscopy has highlighted a unique oxidation degree of iron (+3) and confirmed as well the various magnetic transitions initially detected by magnetization measurements, as well as their evolution versus the x deviation value. Electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient measurements were performed on the samples
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
