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
Molecular beam epitaxy of InAs Quantum Dot and Quantum Dot molecule heterostructures
Get PDFVerspannungsgetriebene selbstorganisierte InAs-QDs auf GaAs(100), die über den Stranski-Krastonov-Wachstumsmodus hergestellt wurden, sind wohl das am häufigsten untersuchte QD-System. Für verschiedene Anwendungen werden QD-Dichten in der Größenordnung von 1 pro QD m2 benötigt. Allerdings ist die Herstellung solch geringer Dichten aufgrund der extrem starken Abhängigkeit von der In-Menge recht anspruchsvoll. In dieser Arbeit werden selbstorganisierte InAs-Quantenpunkte (QDs) und Quantenpunktmoleküle (QDMs) durch Molekularstrahlepitaxie auf GaAs(100)-Substrat aufgewachsen. Im ersten Teil werden InAs-QDs mit niedriger Dichte unter Verwendung von zwei In-Deposition-Verfahren hergestellt: Der In-Gradient-Ansatz und der homogene In-Deposition-Ansatz mit anschließendem Tempern, um Dichten in der Größenordnung von 1x 107-108 QDs cm-2 zu erreichen. Beim In-Gradienten-Ansatz wird die Substratrotation während der In-Abscheidung gestoppt, entweder für die vollständige Abscheidung (Vollgradient) oder für die Hälfte der Abscheidungszeit (Halbgradient). Ein Vergleich der beiden In-Deposition-Schemata wurde durchgeführt, um ein besseres Verständnis der Region geringer Flächendichte zu erlangen. Beim Full-Gradienten erstreckt sich der Niedrig-Dichte-Bereich nur über einen kleinen Bereich entlang des Gradienten, was im besten Fall weniger als 10 % eines vollen 3"-Wafers entspricht, während er bei einem Half-Gradienten auf 15 % ansteigt Im Vergleich dazu konnten wir für den homogenen Abscheidungsansatz für mehr als 70 % eines 3"-Wafers eine QD-Dichte zwischen 1107 und 1108 QDs cm-2 erreichen. Dieser Prozess ist jedoch aufgrund der hohen Empfindlichkeit gegenüber der Substrattemperatur und der In-Menge weniger reproduzierbar. Die verschiedenen QD-Wachstumsparameter wie QD-Wachstumstemperatur,Strain-driven self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) on GaAs(100) substrates fabricated via the Stranski-Krastanov (S-K) growth mode is evidently the most widely studied QD system. QD densities in the order of 1 QD per m2 are required for different applications. However, preparing such low densities is challenging due to the extreme dependence on the Indium (In) amount. In this work, self-assembled InAs QDs and quantum dot molecules (QDMs) are grown on GaAs(100) substrate by the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). In the first part, low-density InAs QDs are fabricated using two In-deposition schemes: the In-gradient approach and the homogenous In-deposition approach with subsequent annealing to attain densities in the order of 1 107-108 QDs cm-2. In the In-gradient approach, the substrate rotation is stopped during In-deposition, either for the full deposition (full-gradient) or for half of the deposition time (half-gradient). A comparison of the two In-deposition schemes has been done to better comprehend low areal density coverage For the full-gradient, the low-density region stretches only over a small area along the gradient, which corresponds in the best case to less than 10 % of a full 3" wafer, whereas for a half-gradient, it increases to 15 %. In comparison, for the homogenous deposition approach, we were able to achieve for more than 70% of a 3" wafer a QD density between 1107 and 1108 QDs cm-2. However, this process is less reproducible due to the high sensitivity to the substrate temperature and the In amount. In the second part various QD growth parameters, such as QD growth temperature, growth interruption, and In-flux, are studied to observe the QD size modification leading to emission wavelength variation. In the last part of this work, QDM heterostructures for electron and hole storage were fabricated. ...by Akshay Kumar Verma ; Doctoral committee: Prof. Dr. Dirk Reuter, Prof. Dr. Cedrik Meier]Tag der Verteidigung: 23.02.2022Universität Paderborn, Dissertation, 202
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
