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
Hydrogéologie des milieux volcaniques insulaires: apports d'une étude intégrée aux îles Galapagos
No full textWith a growing population and limited freshwater resources, the hydrogeology of the Galapagos Islands remains to a great extent unknown. Rainfall is relatively weak and unevenly distributed in space and time. The economical center of the archipelago, Santa Cruz Island, has only small intermittent streams, while several permanent streams are present on San Cristóbal Island. In the frame of this study, an interdisciplinary approach is used to characterize the hydrogeology of the archipelago. A new method has been developed to enhance the interpretation of airborne electromagnetics surveys. With geostatistical interpolation techniques, this method allows the construction of a 3D grid of resistivity. SkyTEM surveys completed in Galapagos were processed with this technique, and confronted to surface analysis with remote sensing and field work. The first hydrogeological conceptual model is proposed for San Cristóbal Island. Climatic conditions have been investigated with the installation of a monitoring network along the windward side of Santa Cruz Island. The occurrence of fog during six months of the year presents an additional input in the water budget and increases groundwater recharge. This input has been quantified with a physically based canopy interception model. The basal aquifer of Santa Cruz Island has been investigated from the analysis of tidal signal propagation, hydraulic tests, as well as fault and fracture mapping. Results show that young basalts, densely fractured by cooling joints, are highly permeable. Because they are poorly connected, faults have a limited impact over regional groundwater flow. Contrasting hydrogeological configurations in the Galapagos Islands are explained by an evolution pattern. In relatively young islands, such as Santa Cruz, basalts are fractured and permeable. Seawater intrusion is strong and freshwater rapidely flows to the ocean. On the opposite, conditions are more favorable for groundwater storage in older volcanic islands, where the regional permeability is smaller and valley incision leads to the existence of springs.Avec une population croissante et des ressources en eau de surface limitées, l'hydrogéologie des îles Galápagos reste pour une grande part inconnue.

L'aquifère de base de l'île de Santa Cruz a été étudié avec la propagation du signal de marée, des essais de pompage, et la cartographie de la fracturation. Ces travaux montrent que les basaltes ''jeunes'' fracturés ont une forte perméabilité. En revanche, les failles n'ont qu'un effet limité sur l'hydrogéologie régionale, car elles sont peu connectées. Les configurations hydrologiques contrastées au sein de l'archipel sont expliquées par un schéma d'évolution. Dans les îles relativement jeunes, telles que Santa Cruz, les basaltes fracturés sont perméables. Ils offrent peu de résistance à l'intrusion saline et l'eau douce est rapidement drainée jusqu'à la mer. Les conditions sont plus favorables dans les îles plus âgées. Les perméabilités plus faibles et l'incision des vallées permettent l'émergence de sources
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
