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
Détection directionnelle de matière sombre non-baryonique avec MIMAC
No full textA large number of astrophysical and cosmological observations support the fact that the matter component of our Universe is mainly composed by dark matter.At the local scale, a static and dense dark matter halo should surround the Milky Way.The directional detection idea is to measure the direction of nuclear recoils produced by the interaction with dark matter particles.This detection strategy could highlight a correlation between the angular distribution of nuclear recoils and the relative motion of the solar system respect to the galactic halo.Such signature opens the possibility to discriminate such rare events with respect to neutron background allowing the positive direct detection of dark matter.In this context, MIMAC collaboration has developed a detector allowing the measurement of 3D nuclear recoil tracks.Since June 2012, a bi-chamber prototype is installed at the LSM to demonstrate the potential of this detector.This Ph.D. thesis presents a study of dark matter directional detection with the MIMAC detector including four different aspects.The first one consist in the characterization of the detector describing the energy calibration, the measurement of the quenching factor and the electron drift velocity and the electron/recoil discrimination.The second one focuses on the analysis of experimental data acquired at the LSM. This study shows, for the first time, the observation of low energy 3D nuclear recoil tracks from the radon progeny.The third one describes the neutron background simulation at the LSM with a neutron propagation model showingthe expected neutron event rate and the impact on exclusion limits.Finally, the fourth one is related to the study of the impact of squarks masse limits from LHC results on supersymmetric particles interaction with quarks.De nombreuses observations astrophysiques et cosmologiques tendent à montrer que l'essentiel de la matière de notre Univers est constitué de matière sombre. À l'échelle locale, la matière sombre serait rassemblée sous la forme d'un halo statique englobant la Voie Lactée.L'idée de la détection directionnelle est de mesurer la direction de reculs nucléaires produits par l'interaction avec les particules de matière sombre.Cette stratégie de détection pourrait alors mettre en évidence une corrélation entre la distribution angulaire des reculs nucléaires et le mouvement relatif du système solaire par rapport au halo permettant ainsi de découvrir et de contraindre les propriétés de la matière sombre.Dans ce contexte, la collaboration MIMAC a développé un détecteur gazeux permettant la mesure de la trace en 3D de reculs nucléaires.Afin de démontrer le potentiel de ce détecteur, un prototype bi-chambre a été installé au LSM en juin 2012.Cette thèse porte sur l'étude de la détection directionnelle avec le détecteur MIMAC selon quatre axes de recherche.Le premier axe concerne la caractérisation du détecteur avec l'étalonnage en énergie, la mesure du facteur de quenching et de la vitesse de dérive des électrons et la mise en place de la discrimination électron/recul.Le deuxième axe porte sur l'analyse des données expérimentales acquises au LSM. Ces donnés ont permis de réaliser la première mesure de traces en 3D de reculs de noyaux fils issus de la chaine du radon.Le troisième axe concerne la simulation du bruit de fond neutron au LSM avec un modèle de propagation des neutrons dans la caverne.Cela a permis d'estimer le taux d'événements neutron attendu et l'impact de la modélisation du fond neutrons sur la limite expérimentale.Enfin, le quatrième axe porte sur l'étude de l'impact des limites LHC sur la masse des squarks sur l'interaction entre les noyaux et la matière sombre

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
