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
Développement et validation d'un analyseur de surface d'onde en plan focal pour instruments multi-pupilles
No full textThe resolution of a telescope is ultimately limited by its aperture diameter, but the size of mirrors is bounded by current technology to about 10m on the ground and to a few meters in space. To overcome this limitation, interferometry consists in making an array of sub-apertures interfere; the resulting instrument is called an interferometer or a multi-aperture telescope. To reach the diffraction limit of such instruments, all sub-apertures must be phased to within a small fraction of wavelength. A critical sub-system of interferometers is the Cophasing Sensor (CS), whose goal is to measure the relative positioning errors between the sub-apertures (differential piston, tip and tilt), which are the specific low-order aberration of an interferometer and the main source of wave-front degradation. We aim to develop unsupervised and easy-to-implement CSs for the global multi-aperture telescope alignment. ELASTIC algorithm provides a solution for large amplitude tip/tilt error measurement from a modified cross-spectrum of two diversity images, allowing the geometrical alignment. ELASTIC also provides tip/tilt stability for the large amplitude piston error minimization, called the interferometric alignment. Finally a second algorithm called LAPD uses focal and slightly defocused images for the small amplitude piston/tip/tilt error measurement, allowing the fine phasing. Numerical simulations of several types of multi-aperture telescopes are performed in order to test our algorithms. We experimentally demonstrate the efficiency of the different algorithms on a 6-sub-aperture instrument. These algorithms should simplify the design of the future telescopes.L’instrumentation multi-pupille permet de repousser les limitations actuelles des diamètres des télescopes monolithiques. L’alignement des sous-pupilles est donc une problématique incontournable pour les futurs projets de télescopes au sol comme dans l’espace. Un Analyseur de Surface d’Onde (ASO) est alors nécessaire pour mesurer les aberrations spécifiques au cas multi-pupille que sont le piston différentiel (différence de marche entre les sous-pupilles), le tip et le tilt (basculements différentiels entre les sous-pupilles).Nous nous attachons à réaliser des ASOs non supervisés et simples d’implantation, permettant l’alignement total d’un instrument multi-pupille. L’algorithme ELASTIC repose sur l’analyse de la corrélation entre deux images focales prises successivement, différant par une perturbation maîtrisée et appliquée directement sur les sous-pupilles. ELASTIC permet d’une part d’estimer les grandes erreurs de tip/tilt, pour effectuer un alignement géométrique et d’autre part de stabiliser le tip/tilt pendant la minimisation des grandes erreurs de piston, pour l’alignement interférométrique. Enfin, un second algorithme appelé LAPD permet, au moyen de deux images prises simultanément dans un plan focal et dans un plan légèrement défocalisé, d’estimer les petites erreurs de piston/tip/tilt pour le cophasage fin. Ces différents algorithmes sont caractérisés au moyen de simulations numériques, pour différents types de télescopes multi-pupilles. Nous démontrons expérimentalement les briques de la chaîne d’alignement sur un instrument à 6 sous-pupilles. Ces ASOs permettent de simplifier le dimensionnement des futurs télescopes
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

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.
