Scientific Lenses over Linked Data:An approach to support task specific views of the data. A vision.
Full text linkWithin complex scientific domains such as pharmacology, operational equivalence between two concepts is often context-, user- and task-specific. Existing Linked Data integration procedures and equiva- lence services do not take the context and task of the user into account. We present a vision for enabling users to control the notion of opera- tional equivalence by applying scientific lenses over Linked Data. The scientific lenses vary the links that are activated between the datasets which affects the data returned to the user
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
Cataloging for digital libraries: The TEI scheme and the TEI header
Full text linkThis article describes the uses and advantages of using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) guidelines for cataloging electronic texts. The TEI guidelines have been developed through an international and collaborative effort, and their applications in digital libraries such as the University of Virginia Electronic Text Center have required close collaboration between catalogers and humanities computing researchers. Detailed description and examples of the TEI header, a vehicle for meta-information written in SGML and the part of the TEI scheme most useful to librarians, are provided. Possible congruence between TEI headers and USMARC records implies that granularity of the TEI header and flexibility of the MARC record are simultaneously improved.Made available in DSpace on 2015-07-20T19:03:07Z (GMT).

RO-Manager:A Tool for Creating and Manipulating Research Objects to Support Reproducibility and Reuse in Sciences
Full text linkIn this position paper we present a lightweight command-line tool RO Manager, which provides a straightforward way for scientists to assemble an aggregation of their experiment materials and methods which can then be published and shared with colleagues or linked to scientific publications, to enhance the reproducibility and trustworthiness of experiment results. The tool is currently being tested by a small group of scientists from two different domains, who would like to preserve sufficient materials and information along with their scientific results in order to improve their reproducibility in the future

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
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
