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
Development of a support for steel coils in a factory environment : Stable and safe storage area for steel coils
No full textDenna rapport avser ett projekt som omfattar produktutveckling till ett examensarbete för högskoleingenjörsprogrammet innovationsteknik och design på Karlstads universitet. Projektets syfte är att utveckla ett stöd till en säkrare uppställningsplats för bandstål i voestalpine Precision Strips AB fabrik. Säkrare för arbetare men även minimera skador på bandstålen. Målet för detta projekt är att utveckla ett stöd som passar voestalpines fabrik, är säker, modulär och som inte påfrestar personalen ergonomiskt. För att genomföra detta projekt används diverse produktutvecklings metoder. Projektet utvecklas med metoden Double Diamond och dess faser discover, define, develop och deliver. Projektet visualiseras med CAD modeller och analys verktyg såsom FEM för att säkerställa en bra lösning. Det slutgiltiga förslaget är uppdelat i tre delar som kan byggas ihop för att få en anpassad längd av stödet till bandstål. Basen är lik den lösning som finns i voestalpines fabrik idag men tillämpas med hål för att kunna placera en ställning. Ställningen är tillverkad av ett hållfast konstruktionsstål och delar upp bandstålen. Ställningen klarar av att ta emot ett bandstål ifall det skulle välta utan att de går i golvet eller att det slår emot ett annat bandstål som kan skapa en dominoeffekt. På ställningen appliceras även ett skydd för att minimera bandstålet från större intryckningar men även för personal då det kan finnas vassa kanter.This report presents a project carried out as part of a bachelor’s thesis in the Innovation Technology and Design engineering program at Karlstad University. The purpose of the project is to develop a support system for a safer storage area for steel coils at the voestalpine Precision Strip AB factory. The goal is to improve safety for workers and reduce the risk of damage to the steel coils. The goal of this project is to develop a support system that is suitable for voestalpine's production environment, is safe, modular, and ergonomic for the staff. To carry out the project, various product development methods have been used. The process follows the Double Diamond model, which includes the phases Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver. The design work has been supported by CAD models and analysis tools such as FEM to ensure a reliable and safe solution. The final design consists of three parts that can be assembled to adjust the length of the coil support. The base resembles the current solution in the factory but is adapted with holes to allow the installation of a rack. The rack is made from high-strength structural steel and separates the coils. It is designed to absorb the force of a tipping coil without it hitting the floor or another coil, preventing a domino effect. Additionally, protective material is applied to the rack to reduce potential damage to the coils and to protect personnel from sharp edges

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
