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
Mitten Impossible: investigating the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) as a detection tool for Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis
No full textInvasive Alien Species (IAS) are considered a key threat to global biodiversity. Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling has emerged as a valuable tool for IAS detection and surveillance. The Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is a high-risk IAS that can tolerate both fresh and salt water due to its catadromous life cycle. The Marine Institute (Ireland) began testing for E. sinensis DNA when monitoring for possible vectors of crayfish plague. Several TaqMan assays have been trialled for detecting E. sinensis, two of which have been used successfully in other countries (Canada and Denmark). Whilst several live specimens have been caught in Waterford Harbour since 2006, no E. sinensis DNA has been detected in Irish waters to-date. To evaluate reasons for these negative results, research was undertaken to investigate if the salinity of water influences the eDNA shedding and persistence of this species. Sensitivity testing was carried out on the two species-specific assays currently used by the Marine Institute for E. sinensis detection. Shedding and decay rates were determined through a series of tank trials, whereby a single female Chinese Mitten crab was placed in a fresh or brackish water tank for a number of hours. Assay sensitivity was determined using synthetic target DNA (gBlock). We found that DNA shedding rate was six times higher in brackish than freshwaters (DNA shedding= 3.12x10-6 vs 6.42x10−7 DNA copies/μL/hour). eDNA decay exhibited expected exponential degradation at both salinities. Decay constants were 0.108hr-1 (brackish) and 0.045hr-1(fresh water). The Danish assay (Knudsen et al., (2019) was more sensitive than the Canadian (Chevrinais et al., (2023), with the ability to detect DNA concentration as low as 106.6 DNA copies/μL, in comparison to 192.5 DNA copies/μL. Our results indicate that salinity could affect eDNA detection of E. sinensis, with a higher chance of detection in brackish waters. The results of this study will be used to inform management of E. sinensis in Ireland, by indicating priority locations to sample (based on salinity) and maximise DNA amplification (by using Danish assay)
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
