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
Canopéa : des nanotours solaires intégrées dans un écosystème urbain
No full textInternational audienceCanopea® est le résultat d’une recherche et pédagogie pluridisciplinaire inter-écoles sur l’habitat et la ville de demain. Cet article retrace les hypothèses de conception de nanotours solaires intégrées dans un éco système urbain. Elles se placent dans un champ de questionnements qui vise à relier recherche scientifique et réalisation pratique, enseignements techniques et sensibles, échelles urbaines et habiter individuel, théories, perceptions et mesures, approches de la ville durable par les matérialités constructives et ambiantales. Elles sont présentées ici par le Labex AE&CC et le laboratoire CRESSON, UMR CNRS 1563. L’article est porté par l’ENSAG, établissement qui accueille ces deux unités de recherche, et l’ENSAL, établissement partenaire de l’équipe « Team Rhône Alpes » pour le Concours Solar Décathlon 20121 qui a donné naissance à Canopea®. Canopea® « Team Rhône Alpes » propose à ses partenaires (labos et individus) une approche collaborative en préfiguration d’un Institut de recherche sur l’habitat et la ville de demain. L’équipe vient de gagner le Concours Solar Décathlon 2012 en remportant les prix Architecture, Confort, Fonctionnement domestique et Innovation
De la nécessité de la « recherche finalisée » pour la R&D en architecture
Full text linkCet article décrit comment, à partir de l’exemple du Solar Decathlon Europe 2010-2012, l’évolution de la recherche en architecture vers des activités de type « développement expérimental » va de pair avec une évolution de la conception de l’architecture même. Elle fait aussi du projet d’architecture un véritable outil de recherche fédérateur des résultats d’autres recherches appliquées. Et elle met en évidence la nécessité de créer les centres d’enseignement supérieur et de recherche pluridisciplinaires sur l’habitat de demain.Using the Europe Solar Decathlon 2010‑2012 as an example, the article will describe how research in Europe has tended more and more towards “experimental development” approaches; these, according to the author, reflect a change in current ideas about the nature itself of architecture. Approaches of this kind have lead to redefined architecture as a veritable research tool capable of federating the results of other forms of applied research. The author also indicates the necessity of creating centres of higher studies and pluri‑disciplinary research on the future of habitable space
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
