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
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
Fundamental optical properties of single semiconductor nanocrystals at cryogenic temperatures
No full textLes nanocristaux de semi-conducteurs présentent des propriétés optiques et électroniques remarquables en raison du confinement quantique de leurs porteurs de charge, ce qui les rend avantageux pour diverses applications en optoélectronique, dans les dispositifs émetteurs de lumière et dans les technologies basées sur le spin. La compréhension de la physique de l’exciton de bord de bande, dont la recombinaison est à l’origine de leur photoluminescence, est cruciale pour le développement de ces applications. Cette thèse porte sur l’étude expérimentale des propriétés optiques des nanocristaux de phosphure d’indium et de pérovskites d’halogénure de plomb. En utilisant une méthode de spectroscopie de magnéto-photoluminescence sur des nanocristaux uniques à basse température, nous révélons des empreintes spectrales très sensibles à la morphologie des nanocristaux et élucidons la structure fine de l’exciton de bord de bande et les énergies de liaison des complexes de charge. Dans les nanocristauxd’InP/ZnS/ZnSe, l’évolution des spectres et des déclins de luminescence sous champ magnétique montrent l’existence d’un niveau d’exciton noir situé à moins d’un millielectronvolt en dessous du triplet brillant de l’exciton, résultats étayés par un modèle tenant compte de l’anisotropie de forme du coeur d’InP. Dans les pérovskites d’halogénure de plomb, nous démontrons que l’état fondamental de l’exciton est noir et se situe plusieurs millielectronvolts en dessous des sous-niveaux d’exciton brillants les plus bas, résolvant ainsi le débat sur l’ordre des niveaux brillants et noirs de l’exciton dans ces matériaux. En combinant nos résultats avec des mesures spectroscopiques sur divers composés de nanocristaux de pérovskite, nous établissons des lois d’échelle universelles qui relient l’éclatement de la structure fine de l’exciton et les énergies de liaison du trion et du biexciton à l’énergie de l’exciton de bord de bande dans les nanostructures de pérovskite d’halogénure de plomb, quelle que soit leur composition chimique. Enfin, des analyses préliminaires de spectroscopie sur des nano-bâtonnets de pérovskite avec un grand rapport d’aspect suggèrent leur potentiel en tant qu’émetteurs de lumière quantique grâce à leur émission composée d’une raie unique.Semiconductor nanocrystals exhibit outstanding optical and electronic properties due to the quantum confinement of their charge carriers, making them valuable for various applications in optoelectronics, light-emitting devices, and spin-based technologies. Understanding the physics of the band-edge exciton, whose recombination is at the origin of their photoluminescence, is crucial for developing these applications. This thesis focuses on the experimental study of the optical properties of indium phosphide and lead halide perovskites nanocrystals. Using magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy onsingle nanocrystals at low temperatures, we reveal spectral fingerprints highly sensitive to nanocrystal morphologies and elucidate the entire band-edge exciton fine structure and charge-complex binding energies. In InP/ZnS/ZnSe nanocrystals, the evolution of photoluminescence spectra and decays under magnetic fields show evidence for a ground dark exciton level lying less than a millielectronvolt below the bright exciton triplet, findings supported by a model accounting for the shape anisotropy of the InPcore. In lead halide perovskites, we demonstrate that the ground exciton state is dark and lies several millielectronvolts below the lowest bright exciton sublevels, settling the debate on the bright-dark exciton level ordering in these materials. Combining our results with spectroscopic measurements on various perovskite nanocrystal compounds, we establish universal scaling laws relating exciton fine structure splitting, trion and biexciton binding energies to the band-edge exciton energy in lead-halide perovskitenanostructures, regardless of their chemical composition. Lastly, preliminary spectroscopy analyses on perovskite nanorods with a high aspect ratio suggest their potential as candidates for quantum light emitters due to their characteristic single emission line

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
