    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

    Full text link
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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

    Kesin Fungus Tu?r Tayini İçin Multilokus Dizi Analizi (MLSA) Tabanlı Bir Yöntem Geliştirilmesi

    No full text
    1.05.2018 00:00Fenotipik analizlerin morfolojik özellikleri incelenen tu?re bağlı standart olmayan farklılıklar gösterebilmesi ve internal transkrpite sekans (ITS) bölgelerinin birçok durumda yakın tu?rlerin ayrımının yapılabileceği nu?kleotid farklılıklarını içermemesi nedenleriyle, multilokus dizi analizi (MLSA) gibi yöntemlerle birden fazla DNA lokusunun hedeflenmesi, fungide kesin tu?r tayini için daha uygun bir yaklaşım olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Bakteriyel sistematikte çok sık kullanılan MLSA fungal sistematikte az sayıda tu?ru?n sınıflandırılmasında kullanılmıştır. Bu proje ile ekolojik açıdan önemli fungus tu?rlerinin çoklu lokus bilgilerini içeren referans nitelikli bir Fungal MLSA veri tabanı oluşturulmuş ve tu?r spesifik çoklu lokus dizilimlerine dayalı tu?r tahminini yapabilecek bir yazılım geliştirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda Alternaria (14), Aspergillus (42), Chaetomium (1), Cladosporium (14), Eurotium (6), Fusarium (31), Graphiopsis (2), Microascus (2), Mucor (8), Neosartorya (2), Paecilomyces (2), Penicillium (77), Petromyces (2), Phoma (1), Rhizopus (4), Scopulariopsis (6), Stachybotrys (2), Talaromyces (12), Trichoderma (6), Trichotecium (2), Wallemia (2) cinslerine ait 124 farklı tu?r, 238 adet fungal suşa ait DNA dizileri elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen dizilerler, sadece ITS ve ITS’ye ek olarak sırasıyla calmodulin (2 gen), EF1-? (3 gen), ?- Tubulin (4 gen), RPB2 (5 gen), RPB1 (6 gen) ve IGS (7 gen) hedefli MLSA alternatifleri değerlendirilmiştir. ITS hedefli yaklaşımla 124 tu?ru?n 62si kesin olarak ayırt edilememiş, 2 gen hedef ile 56, 3 gen hedef ile 27, 4-7 gen hedef ile 22 tu?r kesin olarak ayırt edilememiştir. 5-7 gen hedefli MLSA ekstra bir çözu?nu?rlu?k sağlamadığı için, MLSA veri tabanın 4 gen hedefli olmasına karar verilmiştir. Ayırt edilemeyen tu?rlerden Alternaria tenuissima, A. longipes, A. alternata, Cladosporium variabile, C. macrocarpum ve Mucor racemosus, M. circinelloides için aktin geni, Aspergillus tubingensis, A. niger, Aspergillus parasiticus, A. oryzae, Fusarium tricinctum, F. acuminatum, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, P. commune, P. expansum, P. freii, P. sclerotigenum, P. solitum, P. verrucosum ve Penicillium hordei, P. crustosum, P. italicum, P. nordicum için phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) geni, Penicillium carneum, P. discolor, P. echinulatum için ise cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) geninin ekstra dizilenmesi ile kesin tu?r ayırımının gerçekleştirilebildiği belirlenmiştir. Morfolojik ve ITS tanımlaması ile taksonomisi belirlenen 200 farklı saha izolatı, proje kapsamında geliştirilen yöntem ile MLSA analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Morfolojik ve ITS tanımlamasının cins du?zeyinde sınıflandırabildiği 64 suşun tu?ru?, MLSA veri tabanı yardımıyla kesin olarak tespit edilebilmiştir. Projenin kapsamında önerilen deneysel yaklaşım kullanılarak yapılacak yeni çalışmalar, proje kapsamı dışındaki fungal tu?rlere ait bilgiler elde edilmesini mu?mku?n kılacaktır. Bu yeni bilgilerle genişleyecek olan veritabanı zamanla evrensel bir nitelik kazanabilecektir

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    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
