Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
EXPLORING CREATIVE ARTS THERAPISTS\u27 EXPERIENCES WITH ONLINE THERAPY IN SOUTH KOREA DURING COVID-19
Get PDFThis study explored the experiences of creative arts therapists (CATs) in South Korea who conducted online therapy sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The global crisis forced a rapid shift to virtual platforms, raising concerns about the effectiveness of online creative arts therapy (OCAT) and its impact on therapeutic relationships. Grounded in phenomenological and arts-based research (ABR), this study examined the challenges, adaptations, and effectiveness of OCAT. The research addressed the following questions: (1) How did CATs experience the transition to online therapy? (2) What challenges did they encounter, and how did they adapt? (3) How did online therapy affect therapeutic relationships? (4) What ethical considerations emerged in OCAT practice? Six female CATs, aged 30s to 40s, participated in this qualitative study. They had professional experience in music, art, or drama therapy and conducted online sessions in diverse settings, including schools, hospitals, and private practice. Data collection included semi-structured interviews, participant-created artwork, and reflective writing. Thematic analysis revealed key findings: initial resistance and concerns about the limitations of virtual platforms, the adoption of digital tools for creative engagement, evolving strategies to maintain therapeutic presence, and ethical considerations regarding privacy and accessibility. Participants identified OCAT’s unique potential beyond crisis adaptation, emphasizing its long-term value in expanding access to therapy.

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
거대 비행 스켈레톤 시스템 기반 스프레이 페인팅 : 구현, 자세 최적화, 실험
No full text학위논문(석사) -- 서울대학교대학원 : 공과대학 기계공학부, 2023. 2. 이동준.This thesis proposes a novel aerial robotic system for spray-painting. PaintingLarge-size-Aerial-Skeleton-with-Distributed-Rotor-Actuation(P-LASDRA), which has 7-dof through 24 distributed rotors and 3-links, can generate wrench to all directions and is implemented as an automatic painting system. Apparatus for spray-painting is designed and implemented, with its reaction and influence on the underlying LASDRA system also analyzed. In addition, considering the feature of this robot system, a posture optimization method is proposed to optimize the pose of each link during the painting operation by adjusting the distance from the painting work surface, and it is confirmed through simulation that efficiency and stability are improved. Experiments are conducted and show the RMSE of end effector(1.2 cm, 1.54 degree). This system can be utilized as an efficient aerial robot to reduce painting expenditure and time than human laborer and to avert chemical inhalation accidents of laborer.본 학위논문은 스프레이 도장을 위한 새로운 항공 로봇 시스템을 제안한다. 24개의 분산형 로터와 3개의 링크를 통해 7자유도를 가진 Painting-Large-size-AerialSkeleton-with-Distributed-Rotor-Actuation(P-LASDRA)은 모든 방향으로 렌치를 생성할 수 있으며 자동 도장 시스템이 구현하였다. 스프레이 도장을 위한 장치들을 설계 및 구현하고, 그 반작용과 LASDRA 시스템에 대한 영향도 분석한다. 또한, 이러한 로봇 시스템의 특성을 고려하여 도장 작업면과의 거리를 조절하여 도장 작업 시 각 링크의 자세를 최적화하는 방법을 제시하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 효율성과 안정성이 향상됨을 확인하였다. 실험을 진행하여 end effector의 RMSE(1.2cm,1.54degree)를 보여준다. 이 시스템은 작업자보다 도장에 대한 비용과 시간을 줄이고 화학물질 흡입사고를 방지하는 효율적인 비행 로봇으로 활용될 수 있다1 Introduction 1
