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
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
Propriétés spectroscopiques et structurales du fer dans les verres silicatés
No full textAmong the infinite possibilities of glass compositions, soda-lime silicates represent of 90% of the glass production and are widely used for many industrial applications (e.g. automotive, solar panels, construction). Specific glasses silicate containing 0.5 wt% of Fe2O3 were synthesized with extreme redox. The use of reducing and oxidizing conditions allows to isolate the respective Fe2+ and Fe3+ spectroscopic signatures that are usually mixed due to the heterovalent nature of iron. However, synthesis conditions do not allow to isolate specific iron environment that remains distributed in glasses. Thus, Fe2+- and Fe3+-bearing minerals containing iron in well defined environments were selected. The comprehension of structure-spectroscopy relationships in these crystalline references is a preliminary step to the interpretation of iron spectroscopic signature in glasses. A multi-spectroscopic study was performed on glasses and minerals by combining experi- mental (optical absorption, X-ray absorption at the iron K edge, and electron paramagnetic resonance) and theoretical (multielectronic calculations using ligand field multiplet approach to reproduce the K pre-edge and optical absorption spectra) methods. The study of crystalline references evidenced the influence of local symmetry (Oh, Td, D4h/C4v et D3h/C3v) on iron sites and of p–d hybridization on iron spectroscopic signatures. Concerning the study of reduced silicate glasses, the majority of Fe2+ is present in 5- fold coordination, this speciation can reproduce and explain the iron signature by using a distribution of the crystal field parameters to take into account the amorphous nature of glass. The analysis of oxidized glasses supports the existence of Fe3+ in 5-fold coordination. These species need to be considered, in addition to tetrahedral geometries, for the interpretation of optical spectra. This study shed light on structural and spectroscopic variations of iron due to the substitution of calcium by magnesium or by the absence of alkali in the composition of the glass matrix.Parmi l’infinité de compositions verrières, les silicates représentent 90 % de la production mondiale de verre et sont utilisés pour de nombreuses applications industrielles (par exemple l’automobile, le bâtiment ou les panneaux solaires). Des verres silicatés dopés avec 0.5 %pds de Fe2O3 ont été spécifiquement synthétisés dans des conditions d’oxydoréduction extrêmes, réductrices ou oxydantes. L’objectif étant d’isoler les signatures spectroscopiques respectives du Fe2+ et du Fe3+ qui sont habituellement mélangés en raison de la nature hétérovalente du fer. Cependant, les conditions de synthèse ne permettent pas d’isoler des environnements spécifiques du fer qui reste distribué dans les verres. Par conséquent, des minéraux contenant du Fe2+ et du Fe3+ dans des environnements bien définis ont été sélectionnés. La compréhension des relations structure-spectroscopie dans ces références cristallines est donc une étape préliminaire à l’interprétation des signatures spectroscopiques du fer dans les verres. Une étude multi-spectroscopique a été réalisée sur les verres et minéraux en combinant des méthodes expérimentales (absorption optique, absorption des rayons X au seuil K du fer, résonance paramagnétique électronique) et théoriques (calculs multiélectroniques dans l’approche en champ de ligand pour reproduire les spectres de pré-seuils K et de spectres optiques) pour mieux comprendre l’environnement local du fer dans les verres. L’étude des références cristallines a permis de montrer l’influence de la symétrie locale (Oh, Td, D4h/C4v et D3h/C3v) du site du fer et de l’hybridation p–d sur sa signature spectroscopique. Concernant l’étude des verres silicatés réduits, une majorité du Fe2+ est présent en coordinance 5, il est montré que cette dernière permet de reproduire et d’expliquer la signature du fer par une distribution des paramètres de champ cristallin rendant compte de la nature amorphe du verre. L’analyse des verres oxydés a permis d’appuyer l’existence de Fe3+ en coordinance 5 dans les verres sodo-calciques, dont la prise en compte est nécessaire pour l’interprétation des spectres optiques en complément des coordinances tétraédriques. Cette étude apporte un éclairage nouveau sur les variations structurales et spectroscopiques du fer en réaction à une substitution du calcium par du magnésium ou à l’absence d’alcalin dans la composition de la matrice verrière

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
