    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

    Este trabalho consistiu na síntese do titanato de cálcio e cobre (CCTO) a partir do método dos precursores poliméricos (método Pechini). Em seguida o material foi depositado na forma de filmes finos através de dois métodos (spin coating e elevada pressão) sobre substrato de silício/LaNiO3. O método de deposições de solução química pelo spin coating foi utilizado para deposição de 10 camadas, variando as temperaturas de calcinação em 500, 600 e 700 °C. Para o método de deposição por elevada pressão partiu dos pós de CCTO na fase cristalina, obtido pela calcinação da resina Pechini. Neste método o sistema pó de CCTO/substrato foi tratado a 340 °C por 32 horas usando 2 MPa de pressão em ar. Para identificar a menor temperatura de cristalização de CCTO, quando os filmes foram tratados por pressão durante um determinado tempo, utilizou-se das técnicas de caracterização de difração de raios X e de microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Os filmes obtidos e tratados por pressão apresentaram-se mais densos e homogêneos em relação aos filmes via spin coating. Quando investigadas as propriedades óticas de fotoluminescência observou-se a desordem dos clusters TiO5 após tratamento a pressão. Nas caracterizações elétricas e dielétricas ficou evidente a influência da pressão no deslocamento dos clusters TiO6, levando a troca de cargas com o cluster TiO5 . Nesta análise percebeu-se o surgimentos de polarons entre as vacâncias de oxigênio e os elétrons desemparelhados do Cu’Cu, o que resultou no aumento da permissividade dielétrica para o filme Si/LNO/CCTOThis project consists in the calcium and copper titanate (CCTO) synthesis by chemistry method (Pechini’s method). After that, physical and chemical deposition methods were used to obtain CCTO thin films on Si/LNO substrate. CCTO chemical route (Pechini’s method) used spin coating to deposit 10 layers and, different thermal annealing at 500, 600 and 700 °C was evaluated. In the other hand, physical deposition used the CCTO powder, and the CCTO/substrate system had treatment at 340 °C for 32 hours and 2 MPa of pressure in air. Both films obtained by chemical and physical methods were characterized by XRD and FEG-SEM. Pressure treatment decreases the CCTO chemical film crystallization temperature to 500 °C, showing more dense and homogeneous films too. Photoluminescence analysis reveals a higher emission signal at intense green light to pressure films, leading to disorder the TiO5 cluster. Electric measurement confirms the TiO6 clusters displacement from pressure treatment, leading the charge transfers to TiO5 clusters, favoring the polaron origins between the oxygen vacancies and unpaired electrons from the Cu´Cu, increasing the dielectric constant to the Si/LNO/CCTO thin film

    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

    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
