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

Measurement of global spin alignment of vector mesons at RHIC
Full text linkWe report the measurements of spin alignment () for ,
, , and vector mesons in RHIC isobar
collisions (Zr+Zr and Ru+Ru) at = 200 GeV. We observe
the first non-zero spin alignment for in heavy-ion collisions. The

observed difference and the ordering between and are
surprising, and require further inputs from theory. When comparing between the
isobar and Au+Au collisions, no significant system size dependence in
is observed within uncertainties.Comment: Quark Matter 2022 proceeding
Identified particle production in Pb-Pb and pp collisions at LHC energies
No full textSYNOPSIS
The main goal of ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisons is to investigate the strongly
interacting matter, called the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), expected to produce in
such collisions. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN provides an unique
opportunity to study such strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities.
The short lived resonances are very useful tool in high energy collisions to study
the dynamics and properties of a strongly interacting medium. In particular, the
K

(892) meson is important because its lifetime (4 fm/c) is comparable to the time
scale of the hot and dense matter produced. Owing to short lifetime, the characteris-
tic properties such as mass, width, yield and transverse momentum spectra of

very sensitive to the dynamics and in-medium e

ects. Basically the decay products of

, the pions and kaons, may undergo in-medium e

ects. The decay products of high
momentum resonances have a larger probability to escape the system and thereby de-
tected, while that of low momentum resonances can be re-scattered by other hadrons
present in the medium. Thus, we can not reconstruct back the resonance and the
signal is lost. On the other hand, the pions and kaons in the medium can re-generate

the chemical freeze-out (when inelastic collision ceases) and the kinetic freeze out
(when elastic collision ceases). This re-generation process could compensate for the
K ⇤ 0 yield, lost in re-scattering, if the system formed has a long expansion time. It
was observed that the pion-pion interaction cross section is five times larger than
the kaon-pion interaction cross section. The pion-pion interaction cross-section is responsible for the re-scattering, while the kaon-pion cross-section for the re-generation
processes. Thus, the interplay of the two processes, re-scattering and re-generation,
will decide the final resonance yield and a resonance to non-resonance particle ratio
can be used to understand these processes
