    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    “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

    Structure of Silk I (<i>Bombyx mori</i> Silk Fibroin before Spinning) -Type II β-Turn, Not α-Helix-

    No full text
    Recently, considerable attention has been paid to Bombyx mori silk fibroin by a range of scientists from polymer chemists to biomaterial researchers because it has excellent physical properties, such as strength, toughness, and biocompatibility. These appealing physical properties originate from the silk fibroin structure, and therefore, structural determinations of silk fibroin before (silk I) and after (silk II) spinning are a key to make wider applications of silk. There are discrepancies about the silk I structural model, i.e., one is type II β-turn structure determined using many solid-state and solution NMR spectroscopies together with selectively stable isotope-labeled model peptides, but another is α-helix or partially α-helix structure speculated using IR and Raman methods. In this review, firstly, the process that led to type II β-turn structure by the authors was introduced in detail. Then the problems in speculating silk I structure by IR and Raman methods were pointed out together with the problem in the assignment of the amide I band in the spectra. It has been emphasized that the conformational analyses of proteins and peptides from IR and Raman studies are not straightforward and should be very careful when the proteins contain β-turn structure using many experimental data by Vass et al. In conclusion, the author emphasized here that silk I structure should be type II β-turn, not α-helix
