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
POM hybrids synthesis : controlled grafting onto electrodes for molecular junction study
No full textLes polyoxométallates (POMs) de type Keggin [XM12O40]n- (avec X=P… et M= W, Mo …) sont des oxydes moléculaires de métaux de transition à haut degré d’oxydation qui présentent des réductions successives et réversibles dans une gamme étroite de potentiel. Leur incorporation dans des dispositifs de mémoire moléculaire semble alors prometteuse. Nous avons développé leur intégration comme briques élémentaires via une approche “bottom-up” qui surmonte les limites de l’approche “top-down” plus commune. Cela nécessite un contrôle fin de leur greffage et de leur densité surfacique pour l’obtention de dispositifs performants. Nous avons donc développé le greffage covalent de POMs sur des surfaces à base de silicium et d’or. Des hybrides de POMs à terminaison diazonium BA3[PM11O39{SnC6H4C≡CC6H4N2}] (avec M=W or Mo) ont formé des monocouches complètes greffées sur des surfaces de silicium hydrogénées qui mettent en évidence l’influence du métal constitutif du fragment polyoxométallate sur les propriétés de transport de charges de la jonction. Le greffage d’hybrides de POM à terminaison acide carboxylique sur des substrats d’oxyde de silicium a aussi été développée. Un hybride de POM à terminaison aniline TBA4[PW11O39{SnC6H4C≡CC6H4NH2}] a été greffé en deux étapes via un couplage peptidique sur une monocouche à terminaison acide carboxylique sur surface d’or. Des monocouches compactes ont été obtenues mais pas de façon totalement reproductible et les premiers essais de dilution sont encourageants. Une nouvelle famille d’hybrides de POMs mixtes a été synthétisée : TBA4[PMoxW11-xO39{SnR}]. Cela permettra de combiner les propriétés redox du molybdène et la robustesse due au tungstène.Keggin type polyoxometalates (POMs) [XM12O40]n- (with X=P… and M= W, Mo…) are molecular oxides of early transition metals with a high oxidation state. They present electrochemical successive reversible reduction waves in a narrow range of potential. This makes them good candidates to be incorporated into molecular memory devices. We chose a “bottom-up” approach where the POMs are the building blocks to overcome the limitation of the “top-down” process commonly used. A fine control of the POM grafting and of the surface density is essential to get better erase/writing time of the device. So, we developed POM hybrids for grafting them covalently onto silicon based and gold substrates. Diazonium-terminated POM hybrids (with M=W or Mo) lead to compact homogeneous monolayers onto hydrogenated silicon surfaces. Electrical measurements of the two analogous modified surfaces show different behaviour highlighting the role of the constituting POM metal into the charge transport. Carboxylic-terminated POM hybrids have also been grafted in a one-step process onto silicon oxide surface resulting in a smooth and dense monolayer. Then, an aniline-terminated POM hybrid has been grafted onto a carboxylic-terminated SAM of thiols onto gold thanks to a peptide coupling. Compact monolayers have been obtained without complete reproducibility and the first attempts of dilution are encouraging. A new family of POM hybrids have been synthesized: mixed-metal POM hybrids TBA4[PMoxW11-xO39{SnR}]. This will permit to combine the electrochemical properties of molybdenum and the robustness of tungsten
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
Polyoxometallates commutables isolés sur surface nanostructurée
No full textCette thèse a été menée dans le but d'organiser des polyoxométallates (POMs) qui sont des molécules inorganiques poly-anioniques, sur un substrat de carbone (HOPG) en monocouche, séparés les uns des autres, et de façon périodique. Pour cela, le substrat de HOPG a été fonctionnalisé en utilisant des molécules qui s'auto-assemblent en formant des réseaux bidimensionnels sur la surface. Plusieurs approches ont été abordées. Dans un premier temps, un POM hybride comportant un bras organique avec une fonction pyridine a été synthétisé puis complexé a une phtalocyanine de zinc, qui a servi de molécule ancre pour entrainer le POM à des endroits précis sur la surface du substrat fonctionnalisé. Une deuxième approche consistait à synthétiser une nouvelle molécule organique qui s'auto-assemble sur HOPG comportant une fonction capable de se protoner. Une fois cette molécule assemblée sur surface la fonction protonable se retrouvera distribuée de façon périodique sur celle-ci. Cette fonction a été protonée en utilisant un POM acide, ce qui a permis d'attacher le POM à cet endroit de la surface via une liaison ionique, ce dernier jouant le rôle de contre ion de la charge positive créée après la protonation, réussissant à obtenir une monocouche de POMs périodique et séparés les uns des autres par environ 1 nanomètre.This thesis was conducted with the aim of organizing polyoxometalates (POMs), which are inorganic polyanionic metal oxo-clusters molecules, on a carbon substrate (HOPG) as a monolayer, separated from each other and in a periodic way. To achieve this, the HOPG substrate was functionalized using molecules reported in the litterature for their self-assembling into two-dimensional networks on this surface. Several approaches were attempted. Firstly, a hybrid POM with an organic tail with a pyridine terminal function was synthesized and complexed to a zinc phthalocyanine, which served as an anchoring molecule to position the POM at specific locations of the surface of the functionalized HOPG substrate. A second approach consisted in synthesizing a new organic molecule that self-assembles on HOPG and includes a protonatable function. Once this molecule was assembled on the surface, the protonable function became periodically organized. This function was protonated using an acidic POM, allowing to bind POMs on the organic 2D network through an ionic bond. The POMs acted as counterions to the positive charge created after protonation, successfully achieving a periodic monolayer of POMs, separated from each other by approximately 1 nanometer
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
