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
Abstract Book of the 30th Workshop on Compound Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits in Europe
No full textThe organisers and hosts warmly welcome you to the 30th Workshop on Compound Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits in Europe, WOCSDICE 2006, at the Gullmarsstrand Hotel & Conferences in Fiskebäckskil, Sweden, May 14-17, 2006. The symposium is organised by the Chalmers Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) with the aim to create a forum where researchers can discuss latest results and trends in the field of compound semiconductor technology and related science. Established in 1973, WOCSDICE has a long-standing tradition. This workshop brings together both internationally recognised researchers and promising young scientists and engineers to disseminate state-of-the-art research findings in the areas of compound semiconductor materials, associated devices and integrated circuits. This year we have 56 papers (8 invited) divided into nine sessions and more than 78 delegates from 20 countries.
Fiskebäckskil is a small restful community situated by Gullmarsfjorden opposite to the village Lysekil. Gullmarsfjorden is Sweden's only true threshold fjord, 25 km deep and 1 to 3 km broad. In the 19th century the small fishing village was transformed into a shipping society. The special wood based architecture of this time is well preserved until today. During the 20th century Fiskebäckskil, surrounded by red granite and the salty sea became a prime choice for summer recreation and swimming. The conference hotel (Gullmarsstrand) building is reverentially renovated and modernised to fulfil the highest expectations for a successful workshop.
The workshop is sponsored by the Swedish Research Council (VR), the IEEE Sweden Section, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF-HSEP), Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (VINNOVA), OXFORD Plasma Technology and Agilent technologies. We would like to thank these organisations for their support. We would also like to thank everyone who helped to arrange WOCSDICE 2006: the international steering committee for advice; the local organising committee; Eva Hellberg and Peter Jönsson for all WEB support; Catharina Forssén, and Ingrid Collin for help with registrations and payments; the session chairs; and everyone who attends or contributes with a presentation.
On behalf of the local organisation committee, we would like to welcome all of you and wish you a pleasant and fruitful stay in Fiskebäckskil.
Welcome!

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
ISSTT 2005
No full textThe 16th International Symposium on Space Terahertz Technology was held at Chalmers, Göteborg, Sweden on May 2-4, 2005. This was the fi rst time the ISSTT meeting was held outside the US. More than 150 delegates from Europe, US and Asia attended and 147 scientifi c papers were presented. The meeting was organised by research groups at the microwave electronics laboratory, MC2, and GARD, Onsala space observatory.
The programme was divided into 11 oral sessions with 63 papers (5 invited) and one poster session with 83 papers. Latest result on terahertz technologies for space applications were presented such as sensitive superconducting electronics (HEB/SIS), detectors, sources and systems. New applications of terahertz technology, e.g. for biotechnology, were also presented by Peter Siegel, Caltech (invited talk). Furthermore, we offered lab tours through MC2, conference dinner at Elfsborgs Fästning and fi nally a trip to Onsala space observatory.
The symposium was sponsored by the Swedish Research Council (VR), IEEE Sweden Section, Swedish Space Corporation, Ericsson AB, COMSOL AB and our exhibitors: Omnisys Instruments AB, SAAB Ericsson Space AB, and European Southern Observatory (ESO). I would like to thank these organisations for their support.
I would also like to thank everyone who helped to make the Symposium a success: international steering committee for advice and for reviewing abstracts; local organising committee; Eva Hellberg and Peter Jönsson for WEB support; Monica Hansen-Torvaldsson, Catharina Forssén, and Ingrid Collin for help with registrations and payments; Chalmers president Jan-Eric Sundgren and Erik Kollberg for opening the meeting; staff at Chalmers Conference Center; the session chairmen; and everyone who attended or contributed a presentation. Also an additional thanks to Mattias Ingvarson for putting this proceeding together
