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
Analyse spatiotemporelle de l’extension de la ville de Saint-Louis de 1980 à 2024
Get PDFL’évolution de la ville de Saint-Louis, au Sénégal, est marquée par une croissance démographique et un développement urbain dans un environnement sujet aux risques d'inondation fluviale et aux phénomènes d'érosion côtière. Malgré les mesures, comme l'ouverture du canal de délestage en 2003, qui ont réduit le risque d'inondation, mais les effets du changement climatique et de l'érosion restent un défi. Dans ce contexte, la ville s’étend sur les rares ressources foncières disponibles et se développent est souvent caractérisée par une urbanisation informelle et un manque d'infrastructures. Cette extension urbaine s'accompagne de problèmes de gestion liés à la stagnation des eaux de pluie et à une forte densité de population. Face à cette problématique, cette étude a pour objectif de cartographier de l'extension du tissu urbain de Saint-Louis entre 1980 et 2024, en utilisant des outils de cartographie diachronique comme l’algorithme du Random Forest pour analyser l'évolution de la ville et de caractériser les formes d'expansion. Les résultats montrent une évolution de l'occupation du sol à Saint-Louis, Sénégal, entre 1980, 2000 et 2024. Il montre une croissance significative des zones urbaines, avec une multiplication par cinq des surfaces occupées par les habitations et infrastructures, passant de 374,38 ha en 1980 à 2006,35 ha en 2024. L'urbanisation a surtout progressé vers le faubourg de Sor et la périphérie, modifiant l’espace urbain de la ville. Les transformations sont marquées par une augmentation des surfaces bâties, mais aussi par des disparitions dues à l'érosion côtière et aux inondations, notamment dans les zones sensibles de la ville. Ainsi, la gestion de cette croissance urbaine nécessite une approche intégrée, tenant compte des défis environnementaux, des besoins en infrastructures et de la préservation des espaces naturels, pour garantir un développement durable et résilient de la ville de Saint-Louis.
The evolution of the city of Saint-Louis, Senegal, is marked by population growth and urban development in an environment prone to river flood risks and coastal erosion. Despite measures such as the opening of the drainage canal in 2003, which reduced the risk of flooding, the effects of climate change and erosion remain a challenge. In this context, the city extends into the scarce available land resources and is often characterized by informal urbanization and a lack of infrastructure. This urban expansion is accompanied by management issues related to stagnant rainwater and high population density. In light of these challenges, this study aims to map the urban expansion of Saint-Louis between 1980 and 2024, using diachronic mapping tools like the Random Forest algorithm to analyze the city's evolution and characterize the forms of expansion. The results show the evolution of land use in Saint-Louis, Senegal, between 1980, 2000, and 2024. There has been significant growth in urban areas, with the area occupied by housing and infrastructure increasing fivefold, from 374.38 ha in 1980 to 2006.35 ha in 2024. Urbanization has primarily progressed toward the Faubourg de Sor and the periphery, altering the urban space of the city. The transformations are marked by an increase in built-up areas, but also by disappearances due to coastal erosion and flooding, particularly in the city's vulnerable zones. Thus, managing this urban growth requires an integrated approach, taking into account environmental challenges, infrastructure needs, and the preservation of natural spaces to ensure sustainable and resilient development of the city of Saint-Louis
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

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
