    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    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

    JUSTIFIKASI CFD KEDALAMAN GROOVE BAN PADA PROSES PERAWATAN HARIAN PESAWAT B737-800 AKIBAT HYDROPLANING (B737-800 TIRE GROOVE DEPTH CFD JUSTIFICATION ON ITS DAILY MAINTENANCE PROCESS DUE TO HYDROPLANING)

    As a reference in daily maintenace process of Boeing 737-800 air plane, The tire groove depth influence justification which is moving on the contaminated runway that could be potential to hydroplaning phenomenon must be reviewed. Tire groove is a pattern on the tire surface that has a function to flow the water in front of the tire to the aft of the tire smoothly through the bottom of the tire. This mechanism let the tire less of a lift force that can be meant as a hydroplaning prevention. To understand hydroplaning phenomenon and groove depth tire influence, a numerical simulation is performed by using a CFD software Numeca Fine/Marine. This simulation is 3D, unsteady fluid dynamic simulation, with an assumption a rigid body tire at a short time after the airplane touch down to the runway (after skidding process) with velocity V = 62.27 m/s. The contaminated runway is modelled as a pool water (flood) on the flat surface runway with its height of 2.54 mm. Numerical simulation on this B 737-800 tire result shows that a hydroplaning phenomenon will happen for tire with groove depth less than 0.4”. This concludes that a lesser groove depth of tire will reduce a tire groove cross sectional area, and will increase a compression force in the bottom at the front of the tire, that will result in increasing a lift force to the tire and finally increasing a chance to hydroplaning process. From this result, furthermore, the influence of this groove depth of B 737-800 tire variation that is run on a contaminated runway can be used as a reference on B 737-800 tire daily maintenance. AbstrakGroove atau ‘kembang” pada ban pesawat merupakan sarana untuk mengalirkan air dari bagian depan menuju bagian belakang melalui bagian bawah ban, tanpa mengangkat ban sehingga dapat mencegah terjadinya hydroplaning. Sehingga, pengaruh nilai kedalaman groove terhadap gaya angkat pada ban pesawat B737-800 yang bergerak di landasan dengan genangan air perlu dijustifikasi dalam proses perawatan harian. Penelitian ini menyimulasikan proses mengalirnya air pada bagian bawah ban dengan menggunakan simulasi numerik (CFD Numeca Fine/Marine) 3-D unsteady sebagai metode untuk menjustifikasi pengaruh groove. Simulasi dilakukan untuk kondisi gerakan ban pesawat pada saat proses landing (V = 62,275 m/s) beberapa saat setelah touch down (setelah skidding) dengan ban pesawat dianggap rigid body sebagai kondisi batas. Selanjutnya tinggi genangan air dipilih pada saat runway dinyatakan dalam kondisi flood (tinggi genangan air = 2,54mm). Simulasi tersebut menampilkan hasil perhitungan ban pesawat Boeing 737-800, dengan hydroplaning mulai terjadi ketika kedalaman groove ban berada dibawah 0,4 inch. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin kecil kedalaman groove, maka semakin kecil luas penampang groove dan semakin besar gaya kompresi yang terjadi pada bagian bawah ban dan semakin memperbesar kemungkinan terjadinya fenomena hydroplaning. Dengan diketahuinya hasil dari simulasi tersebut, maka hasil penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai masukan bagi proses maintenance harian pesawat B737-800 dan mampu memberikan suatu hal baru dalam pembelajaran khususnya mengenai fenomena hydroplaning.</jats:p
