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
Um modelo de calibração de segunda ordem para determinação espectrofluorimétrica de hidrocarbonetos policíclicos aromáticos em bebidas destiladas
No full textAlcoholic beverage consumption increases annually worldwide and consequently the higher is the intake of harmful compounds that is present in these products, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) which has attracted the attention of researchers because of their carcinogenic capacity. The spirits is the class of drinks most affected by the presence of this group of contaminants (HPA's) that reaches it by burning the raw material used in the production. Despite the existing concern about the HPA's there is still no legislation or control for these contaminants in spirits, so as soon as possible the creation of legislation is necessary and for this, is necessary to develop rapid, robust and low waste production analytical methods. Most quantitation methods for PAH's in food uses HPLC-FLU or GC-MS, but the use of liquid or gas chromatography coupled to mass spectra generates huge amount of waste beyond the analysis time and high associated costs. In this work we present a rapid methodology, relatively simple and low cost to simultaneous quantification of five HPA's (BaP, FL, AC, AN and P) in three types of spirits (rum, cachaça and vodka) using fluorescence spectroscopy EEM 3D and second order calibration to circumvent the problems caused by the complexity of the matrix by the second order advantage. Calibration models were built by PARAFAC and U-PLS/RBL using pure analyte individual standard solutions. And the models were validated using a set of analytes mixtures adding an interfering (FE). For the development of validation blends the Taguchi design was used. The validation parameters obtained were satisfactory for both models (PARAFAC and U-PLS / RBL), with REP on a range from 4.58% to 8.55% and 1.75% to 9.16% respectively. The application of calibration models in real samples is still being processed. processed. The application of calibration models in spirits showed good performance with recovery values in the range of 85.99% to 115.18% for PARAFAC and 81.02% to 106.05% for U-PLS / RBL. Therefore, we can say that the models built had satisfactory performance for the determination of PAH's in spirits, reaching the second advantage, with little generation of waste, simplicity and low cost associated.O consumo de bebidas alcoólicas aumenta anualmente em todo o mundo e, consequentemente, maior é a ingestão dos compostos prejudiciais à saúde que estão presentes nesses produtos. Como exemplo, os hidrocarbonetos policíclicos aromáticos (HPA’s), que vem chamando a atenção dos pesquisadores devido ao seu potencial cancerígeno. As bebidas destiladas é a classe mais afetadas pela presença desse grupo de contaminantes, que chega ao produto através da queima da matéria-prima utilizada na produção da bebida. Apesar da preocupação existente sobre os HPA’s, ainda não existe nenhuma legislação ou controle para esses contaminantes nas bebidas destiladas. Portanto, é necessário, o quanto antes, que esses contaminantes sejam legislados para bebidas destiladas. Nesse contexto, é relevante o desenvolvimento de metodologias analíticas rápidas, robustas e com a mínima geração de resíduos. A maioria dos métodos para quantificação de HPA’s em alimentos faz uso de HPLC-FLU ou CG-EM, porém as técnicas cromatográficas geram muitos resíduos além do tempo de análise e dos gastos associados. Nesse trabalho é apresentada uma metodologia rápida, relativamente simples e de baixo custo para quantificação simultânea de cinco HPA’s (BaP, FL, AC, AN e P) em três tipos de bebidas destiladas (rum, cachaça e vodca), empregando espectrométria de fluorescência com EEM 3D e calibração de segunda ordem para contornar os problemas causados pela complexidade da matriz. Modelos de calibração foram construídos via PARAFAC e U-PLS/RBL e validados através de um conjunto de misturas dos analitos, com acréscimo de um interferente (FE). Para a elaboração das misturas de validação, o planejamento Taguchi foi utilizado. Os parâmetros de validação obtidos mostraram-se satisfatórios para ambos os modelos (PARAFAC e U-PLS/RBL), com faixa de REP variando de 4,58% a 8,55% e 1,75% a 9,16% respectivamente. A aplicação dos modelos de calibração nas amostras de bebidas destiladas demonstrou satisfatório desempenho analítico com valores de recuperação na faixa de 85,99% a 115,18% para o PARAFAC e de 81,02% a 106,05% para o U-PLS/RBL. Portanto, é possível afirmar que os modelos construídos apresentaram desempenho satisfatório para determinação de HPA’s em bebidas destiladas, alcançando a vantagem de segundo, com pouca geração de resíduo, simplicidade e baixo custo associados
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
