Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
Níveis de potássio em solução nutritiva, desenvolvimento de plantas e a produção de óleo essencial de mentha piperita L
No full textO presente estudo objetivou avaliar o desenvolvimento, a produção e a composição de óleo essencial da Mentha piperita L., cultivada em solução nutritiva, contendo diferentes níveis de potássio. O experimento foi conduzido no laboratório e em casa de vegetação do Departamento de Botânica do Instituto de Biociências de Botucatu – UNESP e no laboratório do Departamento de Produção Vegetal da Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, Campus Botucatu - SP. A determinação da composição do óleo essencial e a cromatografia foram realizadas no Centro de Genética, Biologia Molecular e Fitoquímica do Instituto Agronômico de Campinas, Campinas, SP. Foram utilizadas plantas de Mentha piperita L., cultivadas em solução nutritiva no 2 de Hoagland e Arnon, em três diferentes tratamentos constituídos por solução completa, solução completa menos 50% de potássio e solução completa menos 75% de potássio, com níveis de potássio iguais, respectivamente, a 234,00, 117,00 e 58,50 mg L-1. Até a primeira colheita, quando as plantas tinham 21 dias após o transplante, a solução nutritiva utilizada em todos os tratamentos foi diluída em 50%. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, com três repetições, em parcelas subdivididas com três diferentes níveis de potássio e cinco épocas de colheitas, realizadas aos 21, 42, 63, 84 e 105 dias após o transplante. Para a análise do óleo essencial, o delineamento foi em blocos casualizados com três repetições, em parcelas subdivididas com três diferentes níveis de potássio, em três épocas de colheita, realizadas aos 60, 105 e 120 dias após o transplante. O desenvolvimento foi avaliado pelas variáveis comprimento do caule, área foliar, massa seca de caule mais pecíolos, de folhas, de raízes, razão de área foliar, área foliar específica, taxa assimilatória líquida e taxa de crescimento relativo... .The aim of this study was to assess the development, essential oil production and composition of Mentha piperita L., cultivated in nutrient solution, testing different potassium levels. The experiment was conduced in the laboratory and greenhouse of the Department of Botany at the Bioscience Institute from São Paulo State University – UNESP/Botucatu and of the Departament of Vegetable Production of the Faculty of Agronomic Science, Campus Botucatu, SP. The essential oil composition and the cromatografy were conducted at the Center of Genetics, Molecular Biology and Phytochemistry of the Agronomic Institute of Campinas, SP. Plants of Mentha piperita L. were cultivated in Hoagland and Arnon nutrient solution no 2 testing the three differents levels of potassium, represented by the complete solution, complete solution minus half of the original levels of potassium and the complete solution minus 75% of potassium; resulting in 234,00, 117,00 and 58,50 mg L-1 of potassium concentration. The solution were dilutted to 50% until the first harvest, done 21 days after transplantation. A randomized blocks design was used, with three replications for each treatment and five harvests were done at 21, 42, 63, 84 and 105 days after transplantation. Essential oil analysis was done with the same experimental design, but with only three harvests at 60, 105 and 120 days after transplantation. The plant growth was evaluated using the following variables: stem length, leaf area, stem plus petiole dry mass, mass of leaves and of roots, leaf area ratio, specific leaf area, net assimilatory rate and relative growth area. The results were submited to analysis of variance and the means of treatments (levels of potassium) compared by the Tukey test, assuming a level of 5% of significance. The effect of the age at harvest was studied using regression analysis, except for the essential oil production and composition... (Complete abstract, click electronic address below)

Propagação da espécie Trichilia catigua A. Juss (Catiguá)
No full textPertencente à família Meliaceae, a espécie Trichilia catigua A. Juss é conhecida popularmente como catigua, cataguá, argelim-rosa e mangalto-catingam. Sua casca apresenta propriedades adstringente, inseticida, purgativa, tônica, bactericida, antiinflamatória e antidepressiva. Com o objetivo de propagar a espécie T. catigua foram desenvolvidos experimentos testando o enraizamento de estacas e a micropropagação com explantes de matrizes e sementes. Os experimentos de enraizamento de estacas foram realizados na primavera 2004, verão 2004/2005, outono, inverno e primavera 2005 e primavera 2006. Em todos os experimentos, estacas com aproximadamente 15 cm de comprimento foram coletadas de árvores adultas e preparadas da parte apical e mediana dos ramos. A seguir, foram submetidas aos reguladores vegetais IBA (ácido indolbutírico), NAA (ácido naftalenoacético) e IAA (ácido 3-indolacético), variando as dosagens. Para a avaliação dos experimentos determinou-se a percentagem de estacas enraizadas, não enraizadas e mortas e quando enraizadas, seu comprimento e diâmetro. No experimento primavera de 2004 foram testadas as concentrações de 1000 e 2000 mg L-1 dos reguladores vegetais IBA, NAA e IAA. As avaliações aos 90 dias após sua instalação revelaram maiores percentagens de enraizamento e iguais a 33,33, 25,00, 22,91 e 23,43 % para estacas submetidas a IBA 1000, 2000 mg L-1 e NAA 1000 e 2000 mg L-1, respectivamente. No verão 2004/2005, outono, inverno e primavera 2005 os experimentos foram conduzidos com as concentrações dos reguladores IBA, NAA e IAA iguais a 1000, 2000 e 3000 mg L-1 e as avaliações foram realizadas após 120 dias. Não houve enraizamento no outono e inverno. A análise conjunta dos resultados obtidos na primavera e no verão mostrou percentagem de enraizamento superior na primavera. A maior percentagem de enraizamento, igual a 19,17%...The Trichilia catigua A. Juss from the Meliaceae family is popularly known as catigua, cataguá, argelim-rose and mangalto-catingam. Its bark has astringent, insecticide, purgativa, tonic, bactericide, anti-inflammatory and antidepressant properties. With the aim of propagate T. catigua, experiments of rooting with stem cuttings and of micropropagation with explants of trees and seeds were carried out. In all the rooting experiments the stem cuttings with approximately 15 cm of length were collected from adult trees and prepared from the apical and intermediate parts. The cuttings were immersed in the vegetable regulators IBA (Indole-3- butyric acid), ANA (Naphthalene acetic acid) and IAA (Indole-3 acetic acid). The rooted stem cutting and not rooted stem cutting percentage and, when rooted, the length and diameter of roots, were evaluated. In the experiment spring 2004 the concentrations of 1000 and 2000 mg L-1 of IBA, ANA and IAA were tested, with evaluations 90 days after installation. The highest rooting percentage were 33,33, 25,00, 22,91 and 23,43% for IBA 1000, 2000 mg L-1 and ANA 1000 and 2000 mg L-1, respectively. In the summer of 2004/2005, autumn, winter and spring of 2005 IBA, ANA and AIA, with concentration of 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg L-1, were tested. The evaluation was carried out at 120 days. No rooting was observed in autumn and winter. The analysis of data from summer and spring showed higher rooting percentage in spring. The highest rooting percentage was obtained with IBA 3000 mg L-1 (19,17%). In the spring 2006 IBA (1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 mg L-1) and ANA (1000, 2000, 3000 mg L-1) were tested. The highest rooting percentage (41,67%) was obtained with IBA 5000 mg L-1. In the in vitro cultivation, explantes obtained from trees were submitted to asepsis treatments with HgCl2, CaOCl2 and NaOCl and inoculated in Murashige & Skoog culture medium (MS) with 25%...

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
