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
Non-perturbative investigation of current correlators in twisted mass lattice QCD
Full text linkWir stellen die Resultate einer Untersuchung von Strom-Strom-Korrelatoren beruhend auf den Grundprinzipien der Quantenchromodynamik vor. Wir benutzen die nicht-perturbativen Methoden der sogenannten twisted mass Gitter-QCD mit dynamischem up- und down-Quark unter Ausnutzung der automatischen O(a)-Verbesserung. Als Anwendung diskutieren wir die Berechnung des hadronischen Beitrags zur Korrektur in führender Ordnung in der elektromagnetischen Kopplung zum anomalen magnetischen Moment des Myons. Dieses gilt als eine sehr geeignete Größe für die aktuelle Suche nach neuer Physik jenseits des Standardmodells, besonders im Hinblick auf die Diskrepanz zwischen der Vorhersage aus dem Standardmodell und dem experimentell gemessenen Wert. Innerhalb der theoretischen Bestimmung ist der hadronische Anteil führender Ordnung mit der größten Unsicherheit behaftet und genießt derzeit somit naturgemäß Priorität. Wir beschreiben unsere Studie aller systematischen Unsicherheiten der Gitterrechnung auf Grundlage von drei Gittervolumina, zwei Gitterabständen, Pionmassen im Bereich von 650 MeV bis 290 MeV und den Quark-unverbundenen Beiträgen. Für die Extrapolation zum physikalischen Punkt stellen wir eine neue Methode vor, welche die Abhängigkeit von der Pionmasse hinreichend abschwächt und eine lineare Extrapolation ermöglicht. Im Ergebnis bestimmen wir den Beitrag von up- und down-Quark zu a_mu^hlo(N_f=2) = 5.69 (15) 10^(-8). Die dargelegten Methoden werden auf das Elektron- und das Tau-Lepton erweitert mit dem Resultat a_el^hlo(N_f=2) = 1.512 (43) 10^(-12) bzw. a_tau^hlo(N_f=2) = 2.635 (54) 10^(-6). Wir schätzen den Beitrag des charm-Quarks zu a_mu^hlo in der Partially Quenched tmLQCD mit dem Resultat a_mu^hlo(charm) = 1.447 (24) (30) 10^(-9) in Übereinstimmung mit der Vorhersage über die Dispersionsrelation unter Hinzunahme experimenteller Daten für das hadronische R-Verhältnis.We present an investigation of hadronic current-current correlators based on the first principles of Quantum Chromodynamics. Specifically we apply the non-perturbative methods of twisted mass lattice QCD with dynamical up and down quark taking advantage of its automatic O(a) improvement. As a special application we discuss the calculation of the hadronic leading order contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment. The latter is regarded as a promising quantity for the search for physics beyond the standard model. The origin of the strong interest in the muon anomaly lies in the persistent discrepancy between the standard model estimate and its experimental measurement. In the theoretical determination the hadronic leading order part is currently afflicted with the largest uncertainty and a dedicated lattice investigation of the former can be of strong impact on future estimates. We discuss our study of all systematic uncertainties in the lattice calculation, including three lattice volumes, two lattice spacings, pion masses from 650 MeV to 290 MeV and the quark-disconnected contribution. We present a new method for the extrapolation to the physical point that softens the pion mass dependence of a_mu^hlo and allows for a linear extrapolation with small statistical uncertainty at the physical point. We determine the contribution of up and down quark as a_mu^hlo(N_f=2) = 5.69 (15) 10^(-8). The methods used for the muon are extended to the electron and tau lepton and we find a_el^hlo(N_f=2) = 1.512 (43) 10^(-12) and a_tau^hlo(N_f=2) = 2.635 (54) 10^(-6). We estimate the charm contribution to a_mu^hlo in partially quenched tmLQCD with the result a_mu^hlo(charm) = 1.447 (24) (30) 10^(-9) in very good agreement with a dispersion-relation based result using experimental data for the hadronic R-ratio
On the Applicability of the Weak Coupling Expansion for Time-Moments of Heavy Quark Correlators
Full text linkDie Simulation von diskretisier QCD hat sich zu einem sehr erfolgreichen Verfahren entwickelt, um nicht-perturbativen Berechnungen durchzuführen. In dieser Arbeit untersuchen wir im Detail die Zeit-Momente schwerer Quark-Korrelatoren mit hoher Präzision. Diese werden verwendet, um die QCD-Kopplung durch den Vergleich von Gitter- und Störungsberechnungen zu extrahieren. Dabei müssen diese Observablen von Energien dominiert werden, bei denen beide Methoden angewendbar sind. Genaue Abschätzungen der systematischen Unsicherheiten ist notewendig, da dies Auswirkungen auf Berechnungen von, z.B., Higgs-Zerfällen zu b-Quarks oder Gluonen und Z-Bosonen-Partialbreiten haben.
Wir führen eine quenched Untersuchung der Zeitmomente durch, um im großen Volumen mit L=2fm und T=6fm mit offenen Randbedingungen, Gitterabständen von bis ca. 0.01 fm zu erreichen. Wir berechnen Momente und dabei die Kopplung und den Trunkierungsfehler für wechselnde Energie von 0.8 bis 3.5 Mal die charm Masse. Um die großen Diskretisierungseffekte zu kontrollieren, verwenden wir ein nicht-perturbativ verbessertes Wilson-Clover-Fermionen-Dublett mit einem twisted mass Term. Neben der Kopplung untersuchen wir auch ihren Verlauf bis zur unendlichen Energie, kodiert im Lambda-Parameter, und die darin enthaltenen Trunkierungsfehler.
Der extrahierte Lambda-Parameter bei Energieskalen von 2 Mal die Charmmasse weist, in Bezug auf step-scaling Ergebnisse, Abweichungen in der Größenordnung von 5% bis 10% auf. Eine Extrapolation bis zum Nullwert der Kopplung ist möglich, allerdings mit einer beträchtlichen Steigung. Weitverbreitete Variationen der perturbativen Renormierungsskala zur Abschätzung des Trunkierungsfehlers scheinen hier die tatsächliche Größe der Fehler zu unterschätzen.
Bei der Verwendung der Störungstheorie hoher Ordnung auf den Skalen der Flavor-Physik für die Momente der Korrelatoren schwerer Quarks ist Vorsicht geboten, da große Trunkierungsfehler auftreten können.The simulation of discretized QCD has become a very successful method to perform non-perturbative calculations. In this work we study in detail the time-moments of heavy quark correlators with high precision. These are used to extract the QCD coupling by comparing lattice and perturbative calculations. These observables must be dominated by energies at which both methods are applicable. Accurate estimates of the systematic uncertainties are needed as this has implications for calculations of, e.g., Higgs decays to b-quarks or gluons and Z-boson partial widths.
We carry out a quenched investigation of the time-moments in order to achieve lattice spacings of down to approx. 0.01 fm in large volume, L=2fm and T=6fm, with open boundary conditions. We calculate moments and thereby the coupling and the truncation error for varying energy from 0.8 to 3.5 times the charm mass. To control the large discretization effects, we use a non-perturbatively enhanced Wilson-Clover fermion doublet with a twisted mass term. In addition to the coupling, we also study its evolution to infinite energy, encoded in the lambda parameter, and the truncation errors therein.
The extracted lambda parameter at energy scales of 2 times the charm mass shows deviations in the order of 5% to 10% with respect to step-scaling results. Extrapolation to the zero value of the coupling is possible, but with a considerable slope. Widespread variations of the perturbative renormalization scale to estimate the truncation error seem to underestimate the actual size of the errors here.
Care should be taken when using high-order perturbation theory on the scales of flavor physics for the moments of heavy quark correlators, as large truncation errors can occur
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
