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
Lower trophic level mixed fishery (LOTROMIX) - Implications for ecosystem and management
Full text linkThere is an increasing interest in new marine resources for the production of aquaculture feed, to meet the increasing growth of the aquaculture industry. Marine species from lower trophic levels are a potential resource that could partly cover the increasing need for lipid and protein in aquaculture feed. The mesopelagic layer present a variety of species that is estimated to hold a vast biomass to harvest from, both globally and in the Norwegian Sea and fjords. Marine species at high latitudes are known for a high lipid content, with a potential for high concentrations of essential fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids that are sought to incorporate into aquaculture feed.
The main objective of this present study was to quantify the species composition and assess the biomass distribution and production in the Norwegian Sea and fjords by trawling. The catch were further analysed, and the suitability catch from the mesopelagic layer would provide as a feed component was determined by analysing the total lipid content, and further assess the fatty acid and lipid class composition.
Catches from the mesopelagic layer showed high variation in densities of species at different season and location. With jellyfish and mesopelagic fish dominating the hauls conducted in the fjords, while krill and mesopelagic fish were dominating the hauls at sea. The mesopelagic fishes Maurolicus muelleri (Gmelin, 1789) and Benthosema glaciale (Reinhardt, 1837) had the highest lipid content of the analysed species from the mesopelagic layer, with mixed layer samples containing an average of 30.6 % lipid from dry weight, equivalent to 9.1 % lipid of wet weight. Placing a mixed catch from the mesopelagic layer between some of the pelagic fish species that are the main source of fishmeal and fish oil today in regards of lipid content. The highest lipid content was found in samples collected in the fjords during spring. The fatty acid composition of the catch contained favourable amounts of both PUFA and DHA+ EPA in all samples. With higher relative content found in smaller and leaner samples. The lipid class composition was satisfying, with the mixed layer samples containing well beneath the upper limit for the potentially limiting wax ester

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
