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
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

No full textWell-logging techniques provide a preferential way of investigating deep geological formations, not directly observable. They measure on a continuous basis and in situ numerous petrophysical parameters, as well as oxide contents in 7 major (Si, Ca, Fe, Al, S, K, Ti) and 3 (U, Th, Gd) trace chemical elements. A thorough knowledge of the physics underlying tool operation and the calibration steps is needed to estimate the uncertainty on the measurement. This uncertainty is mainly due to tool operating conditions (borehole diameter and irregularities,, operating speed). When good quality data are available, multivariate clustering techniques, such as k-means, are used as a first approach to visualize the variables provided by well-logging tools. One can also choose linear and non linear inversion methods to infer an accurate enough mineralogical log so it may be used in geological and petrophysical modeling. Wireline logging techniques are typically carried out during oceanic and continental scientific drilling programs, but are almost useless in such unstable geological environments as sedimentary structures associated with tectonic plates convergence zones. The improved state-of-the-art method of Logging-While-Drilling gives a best quality measurement before the borehole conditions worsen. Geological, petrophysical and textural interpretation of well-logging data gives valuable information on sedimentation type, as well as hints on possible mineralogical transformations. The in situ criterion pertaining to the well-logging measurement allows fluids dynamics modeling as well as variation and orientation of tectonic stress, often characterizing these geological environments.Les techniques de diagraphies sont un moyen privilégié pour étudier les formations géologiques profondes, inaccessibles à l'observation directe. Elles mesurent en continu et in situ de nombreux paramètres pétrophysiques, ainsi que les concentrations en 7 éléments majeurs (Si, Ca, Fe, Al, S, K, Ti) et 3 éléments traces (U, Th et Gd). Une connaissance préalable des différents modes de fonctionnement des outils et de leur calibration permet d'évaluer la précision de la mesure. Celle-ci est surtout fonction des conditions de mesure (diamètre et rugosité du puits, vitesse de mesure). Lorsque les données sont de bonne qualité, les méthodes de classification multivariée, comme la méthode des nuées dynamiques ou le k-means, sont employées comme premier outil de visualisation des grandeurs mesurées par diagraphie. En parallèle ou en complément, à l'aide de méthodes d'inversion linéaire ou non-linéaire, il est possible de calculer une minéralogie en continu avec une précision suffisante pour être utilisée dans des modèles pétrophysiques et géologiques. Les zones de convergence de plaques lithosphériques sont des environnements géologiques instables, dans lesquels les techniques de diagraphie par cable, classiquement utilisée dans les forages scientifiques océaniques ou continentaux, ne permettent pas d'obtenir des données de bonne qualité. La nouvelle méthode de Logging-While-Drilling, ne laisse pas à l'environnement de mesure le temps de se déteriorer et donne une mesure utilisable. L'interprétation géologique, minéralogique et faciologique des données de diagraphies apportent des indications précieuses sur la dynamique sédimentaire, ainsi que sur les éventuelles transformations minéralogiques. Le caractère in situ de la mesure rend possible la modélisation de la dynamique des fluides ou de la variation et de l'orientation des champs de contrainte, dont les environnements étudiés sont souvent le siège

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
