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
The high temperature mechanical properties and the correlated microstructure/texture evolutions of a TWIP high entropy alloy
No full textThe present work deals with the microstructure and texture evolutions of a TWIP high entropy alloy at various deformation temperatures. Toward this end, the tensile tests were conducted at temperatures ranging from 298 to 873 K under the strain rate of 0.001s(-1). The experimented material exhibited an extraordinary room temperature work hardening behavior, in respect of both the instantaneous strain hardening exponent and the work hardening rate values. This resulted in an acceptable ultimate tensile strength/ductility balance and was justified considering the high activity of twinning and planar slip. Such work hardening capacity deteriorated at higher temperatures due to increasing the dislocation annihilation rate and the stacking fault energy values that suppressed twin formation and dislocation accumulation. However, the decrease in amplitude and extent of the work hardening region was insignificant compared with other single-phase high entropy alloys. This was attributed to the high capacity of the alloy for dislocation storage at various deformation temperatures. The serrated flow was observed at 773 and 873 K due to the dynamic strain aging (DSA) mechanism. Interestingly, in this case, the DSA mechanism has a beneficial effect on overall ductility, which was attributed to the increase in the strain hardening exponent result in a delay of necking. Texture examination also reveals the formation of a double fiber texture consists of a strong //TA fiber and a weaker //TA fiber due to the simultaneous contribution of twinning and octahedral slip {111} .11Nsciescopu
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
Fine tuning of tensile properties in CrCoNi medium entropy alloy through cold rolling and annealing
No full textIn the present study, tensile properties of CrCoNi medium entropy alloy with different microstructures (recovery, partial recrystallization, recrystallization) were investigated by subjecting cold-rolled samples to different annealing conditions. The microstructure of the cold-rolled sample showed the presence of severely deformed grains with several deformation twins. Annealing of the cold-rolled samples at 700 degrees C and above for 60 min led to fully recrystallized microstructure, while annealing at temperatures lower than 700 degrees C led to recovery and partially recrystallized microstructures. The annealed samples showed a typical strength-ductility trade-off with an increasing fraction of recrystallized grains and increasing average grain size in samples with partially recrystallized and fully recrystallized microstructure, respectively. Fine tuning of microstructure led to a remarkable combination of strength (similar to 1 GPa) and uniform elongation (28%) in the sample with partially recrystallized microstructure, which consists of similar to 77% of recrystallized grains with an average recrystallized grain size of similar to 3 mu m.11Nsciescopu
