    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    PREUČEVANJE ULTRA HITRE DINAMIKE ELEKTRONOV V KORELIRANIH SISTEMIH S POMOČJO ČASOVNO LOČLJIVE FOTOEMISIJE

    Complex systems in condensed matter are characterized by strong coupling between different degrees of freedom constituting a solid. In materials described by many-body physics, these interactions may lead to the formation of new ground states such as excitonic insulators, Mott insulators, and charge and spin density waves. However, the inherent complexity in such materials poses a challenge to identifying the dominant interactions governing these phases using equilibrium studies. Owing to the distinct timescales associated with the elementary interactions, such complexities can be readily addressed in the non-equilibrium regime. Additionally, these materials might also show the emergence of new, metastable “hidden“ phases under non-equilibrium. The thesis investigates the ultrafast timescales of fundamental interactions in candidate systems by employing time-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in the femtosecond time domain. In the (supposed) excitonic insulator model system Ta2NiSe5, the timescale of band gap closure and the dependence of rise time (of the photoemission signal) on the photoexcitation strength point to a predominantly electronic origin of the band gap at the Fermi level. The charge density wave (CDW) - Mott insulator 1T-TaS2 undergoes photoinduced phase transition to two different phases. The initial one is a transient phase which resembles the systems’s high temperature equilibrium phase, followed by a long-lived “hidden“ phase with a different CDW amplitude and is primarily driven by the CDW lattice order. For the spin density wave system CaFe2As2 where multiple bands contribute in the formation of Fermi surfaces, selective photoexcitation was used to disentangle the role played by different electron orbitals. By varying the polarization of photoexcitation pulses, it is observed that dxz/dyz orbitals primarily contribute to the magnetic ordering while the dxy orbitals have dominant role in the structural order. The findings of the present study provide deeper perspectives on the underlying interactions in complex ground phases of matter, therefore, initiating further experimental and theoretical studies on such materials.Za kompleksne sisteme v kondenzirani snovi je značilna močna sklopitev med različnimi prostostnimi stopnjami, ki to snov tvorijo. V materialih, ki jih opisuje fizika več teles, lahko takšne interakcije vodijo v nastanek novih osnovnih stanj, kot so ekscitonski in Mottovi izolatorji ter valovi gostote naboja in spina. Zaradi zapletene narave takšnih sistemov lahko z ravnovesnimi študijami le stežka prepoznamo prevladujoče interakcije v omenjenih fazah. Po drugi strani pa lahko zaradi prisotnosti različnih karakterističnih časovnih skal kompleksne materiale lažje obravnavamo z nerovnovesnimi tehnikami. Poleg tega lahko v neravnovesju v omenjenih materialih pride do pojava novih, metastabilnih t.i. skritih stanj. V disertaciji smo raziskali ultra hitre časovne skale osnovnih interakcij v omenjenih sistemih z uporabo femtosekundne kotno ločljive fotoemisijske spektroskopije. V (domnevnem) ekscitonskem izolatorju Ta2NiSe5 karakteristični čas, v katerem se zapre energijska vrzel, ter odvisnost karakteristi čnega časa dviga fotoemisijskega signala od jakosti svetlobnega vzbujanja kažeta na to, da je energijska vrzel v omenjenem materialu elektronskega izvora. V Mottovem izolatorju 1T-TaS2, v katerem so prisotni valovi gostote naboja (ang. charge density wave - CDW) pride pri fotovzbujanju do prehoda v različne neravnovesne faze in sicer najprej v neravnovesno stanje, ki je podobno visoko temperaturnem ravnovesnem stanju in nato v dolgoživo “skrito“ stanje z manjšo CDW amplitudo, pričemer je gonilna sila teh prehodov kristalni red CDW. V vzorcih CaFe2As2, za katere so značilni valovi gostote spina in kjer več energijskih pasov prispeva k nastanku Fermijeve površine, smo s selektivnim fotovzbujanjem ugotavljali kakšna je vloga različnih orbital. S spreminjanjem polarizacije vzbujevalnih sunkov smo opazili, da dxz/dyz orbitale primarno prispevajo k magnetnemu urejanju, medtem ko imajo dxy orbitale glavno vlogo v strukturnem redu. Ugotovitve te študije ponujajo nov vpogled v temeljne interakcije v kompleksnih materialih in predstavljajo osnovo za nadaljnje eksperimentalne in teoretične raziskave

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    We 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
