    The 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” 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

    We 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

    Neural Network Fault Recognition in Power Systems with High Penetrations of Inverter-Based Resources

    The growing demand for renewable energy resources (RER) has led to increased integration of inverter-based resources (IBRs), into existing power distribution and transmission networks. However, RER locations are often not ideally suited for direct integration, necessitating a restructuring of the grid from a traditional radial network to a more complex mesh network topology. This transition presents challenges in terms of protection and coordination, as IBRs exhibit atypical responses to power system anomalies compared to conventional synchronous generation. To address these challenges and support existing power system protection infrastructure, this work explores the incorporation of machine learning algorithms. Specifically, an optimized convolutional neural network (CNN) is developed for real-time application in power system protection schemes. The focus is on prioritizing key performance metrics such as recall, specificity, speed, and the reduction of computational resources required for effective protection. The machine learning model is trained to differentiate between healthy system dynamics and hazardous conditions, such as faults, in the presence of IBRs. By analyzing data retrieved from an IEEE 34-bus 24kV distribution network, the model's application is demonstrated and its performance is evaluated. A photovoltaic (PV) source was incorporated into the IEEE 34-bus distribution feeder model at the end of the feeder. By adding a PV source at the end of the feeder, IBR characteristics, such as its response to system anomalies can be monitored through the model. Once the modified IEEE 34-bus distribution feeder model with the PV source was set up, various system anomalies were simulated to create a diverse dataset for training the machine learning (ML) model. These anomalies included; load rejection - a sudden and complete removal of load from the distribution network, simulating a scenario where a significant portion of the load disconnects from the grid, load addition - a sudden and significant increase in load demand, representing a scenario where new loads are connected to the grid, islanding - a scenario where the distribution feeder becomes electrically isolated from the main grid, with the PV source acting as a microgrid and supplying power to the local loads, and various types of faults, such as short-circuits or ground faults, occurring at different locations along the distribution line. To create a diverse dataset, model parameters were varied through 50 different iterations of each simulated anomaly scenario. These parameters included the PV system's capacity, the location of the anomaly on the feeder, the severity and duration of the anomaly, and other relevant grid parameters. For each iteration and anomaly scenario, the responses of the system were recorded, including voltage levels, current flows, and other relevant synchorphasors at the PV source's point of common coupling (PCC). These responses formed the dataset for training the ML model. The accumulated dataset was then used to train the various ML models, including the optimized convolutional neural network (CNN), to identify patterns and hidden characteristics in the data corresponding to different system anomalies. The training process involved feeding the model with input data from the various iterations and scenarios, along with corresponding labels indicating the type of anomaly present. By exposing the ML model to diverse scenarios and varying parameters, the model learns to generalize its understanding of system dynamics and accurately distinguish between healthy system states and hazardous conditions. The models in this work were specifically trained to recognize the various fault characteristics on the system. The trained model's ability to process time-series data and recognize anomalies from the accumulated dataset enhances power system protection infrastructure's capability to respond rapidly and accurately to various grid disturbances, ensuring the reliable and stable operation of the distribution network, especially in the presence of PV and other IBRs. The results show that the optimized CNN outperforms traditional machine learning models used in time-series data analysis. The model's speed and reliability make it an effective tool for identifying hidden characteristics in power system data without the need for extensive manual analysis or rigid programming of existing protection relays. This capability is particularly valuable as power grids integrate a higher penetration of IBRs, where traditional protection infrastructure may not fully account for their unique responses. The successful integration of the optimized CNN into power system protection infrastructure enhances the grid's ability to detect and respond to anomalies, such as faults, in a more efficient and accurate manner. By leveraging machine learning techniques, power system operators can better adapt to the challenges posed by the increasing presence of IBRs and ensure the continued stability and reliability of the distribution network

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    We 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
