    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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

Lett. accepted (2004).Author Institution: Laser Centre, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Vrije UniversiteitExactly a century ago Lyman reported on the first spectroscopic identification of the hydrogen moleculeamolecule^{a}. Over the years past many spectroscopists have searched for spectral signatures of the smallest neutral molecule, which has become the fundamental test system for quantum chemical ab initio calculations. Experimental work on H2H_{2} and its isotopomers is more difficult than in other systems because electronic absorption occurs only at wavelengths λ<100nm\lambda <100 nm; the vibrational spectrum is extremely weak due to the inversion symmetry; due to the low nuclear mass spectra are not organized in bands as bands but rather occur as randomly organized lines; isotopic substitution is not helpful because it gives rise to another set of randomly appearing lines. In the past decade we have employed laser based techniques to unravel new spectral structures in hydrogen and measure at high resolution. Specific breakthroughs are the use of a narrowband tunable laser in the extreme ultraviolet domain and of multiple-resonance techniques involving XUV photons. These studies have led to: the observation of high-lying double-well structures of gerade symmetrybsymmetry^{b}; the observation of a double-well structures of ungerade symmetrycsymmetry^{c}; the observation of strong u-g symmetry breakingdbreaking^{d}; the observation of heavy Rydberg states of the H+HH^{+}H^{-} systemesystem^{e}. From a comparison of extremely accurate calibration of Lyman and Werner transitions, and by comparing the laboratory results with absorptions in spectra of quasars that have occured 12 Billion years ago, a rather strict constraint can be set om a possible variation of the proton-to-electron mass ratiofratio^{f}

    We 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

    Rotational Level Intervals In Hd From Cryo-cooled Sub-doppler Rovibrational Spectroscopy

    The spectroscopic investigation of the hydrogen molecule and its isotopologues has played a crucial role in the advancement of quantum mechanics in the molecular domain. Particularly, highly accurate measurements of rovibrational transitions allow for various tests of fundamental physics including searches for physics beyond the Standard Model\footnote{W. Ubachs, J.C.J. Koelemeij, K.S.E. Eikema, E.J. Salumbides, J. Mol. Spectr. 320, 1-12 (2016)}. Recent Doppler-free measurements performed at room temperature\footnote{F.M.J. Cozijn, P. Dupre, K.S.E. Eikema, E.J. Salumbides, W. Ubachs,, Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 153002 (2018)}\footnote{M.L. Diouf , F.M.J. Cozijn, B. Darquie, E.J. Salumbides, W. Ubachs, Opt. Lett. 44, 4733 (2019)}\footnote{M.L. Diouf, F.M.J. Cozijn, K.F. Lai, E.J. Salumbides, W. Ubachs , Phys. Rev. Res. 2, 023209 (2020)}, in the (2,0) overtone band of the hydrogen deuteride molecule spurred a stimulating debate on the interpretation of the spectra which significantly differ from typical Lamb-dips. New measurements were performed in a cryogenically cooled cavity with the hope of resolving the underlying hyperfine structure. However the resulted spectra observed shared the same unusual lineshapes which still hinder the extraction of the absolute rovibrational positions. With the goal of extracting the rotational interval with a better accuracy, pairs of P and R transitions were considered. This leads to accurate values for rotational energy intervals and to a precise test of molecular QED theory\footnote{P. Czachorowski, M. Puchalski, J. Komasa, K. Pachucki, Phys. Rev.
