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
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
Statistical analysis and susceptibility properties of heavy/light metal pollution in surface seawater of Izmir Bay
No full textThe inner bay of Izmir is known as the part between Sasali/Karsiyaka coastline and Guzelbahce/Bayrakli. It is used extensively in transportation. There is constant ferry transportation and an international port operates in this region. There are also a few streams that flow into the inner bay. Therefore, the inner bay can be exposed to continuous chemical pollutants, and these wastes can intensively be observed in its natural structure. In this study, the magnetic susceptibility values and elemental analyses of the samples taken from the surface sea waters of the inner bay coastline were performed. Silicon, strontium, and manganese elements were mostly observed in the samples. The greatest susceptibility values were seen in the Bostanli ferry port and Goztepe ferry. In addition, the standard deviation and correlation coefficient values of the samples were calculated and discussed. According to the correlation coefficient value, it can be said that there is a positive correlation between metal ion ratios and magnetic susceptibility
Energy harvesting sensor – PZT0,5M0,5(M:PVC, PP, PVDF) composite thick film equipped with SiO2
No full textPZT (Lead zircon titanate) material has been used for many years because of its unique piezoelectric properties especially in conversion of electrical energy to mechanical energy and vice versa, and it is the most used material in this piezoelectric area. These kinds of piezoelectric materials, which can be produced as thin or thick film, have a wide range of uses in electronics such as; ultrasonic applications, in aircraft air-flames, structural health monitoring, and in energy harvesting as actuators or transducers, due to its large surface area and flexibility. In this study, composite thick films were produced with PZT piezoelectric material by using different polymers. In addition, synthesized in nano size the SiO2 (silicon dioxide) spheres were added to the films. PZT-5H (Navy Type VI) piezoelectric materials were made into film by melting method with the different polymers (Polyvinyl chloride - PVC, Polypropylene - PP, and Polyvinylidene fluoride - PVDF). The SiO2 spheres, which have about 120nm particle size, were added to this polymer PZT films at a rate of 1%. In present study, invert microscope images and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the films were obtained, in addition to this, the capacitance, dielectric constant, resonance and anti-resonance frequencies and effective efficiencies were calculated with a homemade system. It can be decided that the produced films can be used as low frequency actuators or transducer in energy harvesting system. © 2019 Author(s)
