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
Authorship and Collaboration Pattern of Annals of Library and Information Studies Journal during 2009-2018: Scientometrics Mapping
Full text linkThis paper presents a scientometric analysis of the journal titled Authorship and Collaboration Pattern of Annals of Library and Information Studies Journal during 2009-2018: Scientometrics Mapping. The analysis focused on the distribution pattern of articles, author\u27s productivity, collaboration pattern and Collaborative coefficient and citation impact over time. It showed that the highest 12.57% of articles were published in the year 2010. The majority of articles are double authored with 47.03% of the total contribution. The degree of collaboration among the authors was found 0.66, which means collaborated papers are increasing. Total 2886 citations were appended where the highest number of 704 citations was appended in the starting year 2009 having 20.71 citations per paper
LIBRARY HERALD-2008-2017: A BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY
Full text linkThis paper presents a bibliometric analysis of the Journal of Library Herald for the period of 10 years (2008-2017). The total number of published articles during the period of study was 222 articles in a particular journal. The aim of this paper was to analysis the authorship pattern, geographical distribution, prolific author, reference distributions, and authorship pattern of reference. And found out that 97 (43.68%) articles were contributed by single authors, followed by two authors 87 (39.18%). Dr K P Singh was a most productive author with a maximum number of articles contributed 11, constituting (31.43%), followed by B K Sen has contributed by 6, constituting (17.14%) in the period of study
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
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
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
Capacity planning under fuzzy environment
Full text linkIn recent years, in manufacturing industry, their has been a great deal of interest in capacity planning because the focus is shifting on techniques that determine flexibility of the amount and timing of work center capacity to satisfy the master production schedule. There are several techniques available for preparing work center capacity plans under crisp environment, but there is a scarcity of technique available for finding the required capacity in terms of labor hours under fuzzy environment. In the present thesis, we analyze the Bill of Labor (BOL), Resource Profile (RP) and Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) approaches under fuzzy environment with a variety of assumptions. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the concepts of capacity planning problems considered in the thesis, followed by the literature survey in Chapter 2. The capacity analysis under fuzzy envi onment using BOL approach for rough cut capacity planning (RCCP) is considered in Chapter 3. Assuming that all the components of an item are manufactured in the same time period as the end item, i.e. lead-time offsets are considered to zero. Chapter 4 deals with the capacity analysis under fuzzy environment using RP approach for RCCP by including the lead-time dimension in it. Chapter 5 deals with the capacity requirements planning under fuzzy environment. Finally, conclusion, contribution and recommendations for further research on the aforementioned problems are presented in Chapter 6
