    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    Geostatistical ore reserve estimation for the Bintan bauxite deposite, Indonesia.

    This thesis describes the application of geostatistical ore reserve estimation methods to a lateritic bauxite deposit located on Bintan island, Indonesia. The study reported is based upon a comprehensive set of exploration sample data supplied to the author by the operating company, PT Aneka Tambang. The general purpose of this study is to investigate the use of geostatistical techniques to obtain improved ore grade estimates. More specific objectives of this study are listed as follows. 1) To compare the geostatistical method with the more traditional inverse distance squared method (IDS). 2) To outline the ore distribution and AI2O3 per cent concentration within each 50x50m mining block and the associated error of estimation, using the kriging method of estimation. 3) To estimate the total insitu ore tonnage and metal recoverable, with associated confidence limits, using the theory of normal and lognormal distribution. 4) To classify the ore grades into various categories, using the geostatistical approach. Within the thesis, horizontal variograms are developed for all variables (AI2O3 per cent, thickness, accumulation, concretion factor, Fe2C>3 per cent, SiC>2 per cent and TiC>2 per cent), to assist in interpretation of the geological structures within the mineralization and to quantify mineralization continuity and degree of isotropy. In the particular study reported, geostatistical methods and the IDS method are shown to yield very similar predictions of ore block grades, due mainly to the comprehensive nature of the sample data available. Of particular economic significance in the study reported is the conclusion that sampling on a 50x50m grid yields results of a quality essentially equivalent to those from a 25x25m grid, with potential for considerable cost savings in any future sampling program

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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

    We 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
