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
Hydrogen deficiency in titanium-rich biotite from anatectic metapelites (El Joyazo - SE Spain): crystal-chemical aspects and implications for high-temperature petrogenesis
No full textTitanium-rich biotites from graphite-bearing metapelitic xenoliths, equilibrated at ca. 850 degreesC and 7 kbar in the presence of a granitic melt, have been studied through complete chemical analysis and single-crystal XRD refinements. The chemical study combines EMP analyses, hydrogen determination by both SIMS and C-H-N elemental analysis, and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Biotites in the analyzed xenoliths have TiO2 contents ranging from 4.5 to 4.9 wt% and an X-Fe of 0.67. Their F and Cl contents are negligible, and Fe3+/Fe-tot ranges from 10 to 16%. The H2O content of the biotites ranges from 2.4 to 2.8 wt%, and a small fraction of H is accommodated in the lattice as NH4. Based on these full chemical analyses, the calculated OH occupancy is 1.26 to 1.30 groups per formula unit, more than one third less than the stoichiometric value.
The entrance of Ti in the octahedral site of biotite is consistent with the Ti-oxy exchange, whereas Ti-Tschermak or Ti-vacancy substitutions play a very minor role. The Fe3+-oxy exchange cannot account for the observed OH deficiency.
From single-crystal XRD, biotites belong to the 1M polytype and contain variable amounts of stacking faults. The c cell parameter, K-O4 and [K-O](outer) distances provide an independent estimate of the OH content, which agrees with SIMS determinations. The linear relationship between Ti-VI(4+) and the bond-length distortion of the cis-M2 octahedron reveals the partitioning of Ti4+ in M2, and the Ti4+ off-center shift toward 04 supports the occurrence of the Ti-oxy exchange. The ordering of Ti4+ over two non-equivalent M2 sites, which would be favored energetically, is in agreement with the evidence for a third octahedral site suggested by Mossbauer spectroscopy. The biotite dehydrogenation combined with the partitioning of Ti4+ in M2 and the low thermal expansion of Ti4+ containing octahedra, are the keys to understanding the thermal stabilization of Ti substitution in biotites
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
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
Russo u menjá bolít golová vs. bulgaro bolí me glaváta ‘ho mal di testa’ e la vexata quaestio delle strutture possessive di tipo baltofinnico nello slavo orientale
No full textLa questione se il possesso predicativo in russo (nonché in ucraino e bielorusso) con preposizione u ‘presso’ + possessore al genitivo sia un calco basato sul baltofinnico è ancora controversa e necessita di ulteriori approfondimenti. Il sintagma preposizionale di tipo adessivo come in russo u menjá (est’) nóvyj dom ‘ho una casa nuova’ assomiglia al Finnish minulla on uusi talo ma ancora più stringente è il confronto fra il russo u menjá bolít golová ‘ho mal di testa’ e la sua controparte in finnico minulla särkee pää, un’espressione recentemente studiata da Seržant (2015) che l’ha messa in connessione con strutture analoghe (ma non identiche!) nelle lingue baltiche (lituano e lettone). Un’esplorazione delle lingue baltofinniche orientali (come il careliano e il vepso) è sembrata all’autore necessaria per rafforzare la possibilità che la costruzione possessiva del russo dipenda effettivamente da una situazione di contatto con le lingue baltofinniche
