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
Moving boundary shallow water flow in a region with quadratic bathymetry
Full text linkExact solutions of the nonlinear shallow water wave equations for forced flow involving linear bottom friction in a region with quadratic bathymetry have been found. These solutions also involve moving shorelines. The motion decays over time. In the solution of the three simultaneous nonlinear partial differential shallow water wave equations it is assumed that the velocity is a function of time only and along one axis. This assumption reduces the three simultaneous nonlinear partial differential equations to two simultaneous linear ordinary differential equations. The analytical model has been tested against a numerical solution with good agreement between the numerical and analytical solutions. The analytical model is useful for testing the accuracy of a moving boundary shallow water numerical model.

Assessing Morphological Effects of Prenatal Cannabinoid Consumption on Murine Embryos with Optical Coherence Tomography
No full textIn this study, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging is used to analyze the effects of prenatal cannabinoid consumption on fetal brain development on GD14.5 murine embryos. Previous studies have found that prenatal cannabinoid consumption is associated with fetal growth restriction, learning disabilities, and memory impairment in the exposed newborn. A swept-source OCT of a 200kHz 1310nm system is therefore used to assess the effect of prenatal cannabinoid consumption effects on fetal brain development utilizing a mouse model with notable observations. Specifically, a significant fetal size compared to the control samples according to the collected measurements was determined with 1 mg/kg dosage having a more significant impact compared to lower dosage and an average reduction of 10.45% across all 9 parameters. Intermediate imaging and graphical analysis by parameter have been summarized on this research poster to outline the morphological defects occurring with the murine embryos imaged from the in vivo experiment concerning the vasculature mapping of said embryos.Biomedical Engineering, Department ofHonors Colleg
