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
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
Optical frequency comb locked signal synthesis
No full textHighly stable optical frequency combs (OFCs), particularly those generated by modelocked lasers, have become important tools for frequency and time metrology, and spectroscopy. This is due to their ability to span wide bandwidths, to act as highly accurate frequency references, and to provide a direct link between the optical and radio frequencies. However, the narrow comb spacing of most mode-locked OFCs makes it difficult to access their individual modes for a wide range of other potential applications. This thesis investigates comb mode extraction from a 250 MHz spaced OFC by phase locking semiconductor lasers (slave lasers) to individual comb modes. This was achieved using optical injection locking in combination with a low bandwidth electronic feedback loop. The locking process forced a slave laser to emit at the same frequency as the comb mode it was locked to, but at its natural output power. Hence a locked slave laser effectively behaved as a ultra-narrowband filter with active gain. The locking process was characterised in terms of its long-term frequency stability over a period of 8 hours (minimum Allan deviation of less than 10-18) and its short term phase noise across a bandwidth from 100 Hz to 500 MHz (minimum integrated phase noise of 0.02 rad2). Amplification of the residual comb modes was measured and found to have a dependence on the master-slave frequency detuning. The results from numerical modelling found that this was due to phase modulation induced in the slave laser by the injected OFC and could always be suppressed by controlling the frequency detuning. Fourier synthesis of high repetition rate waveforms was explored as one of the potential applications of this phase locking technique. Multiple lasers were made coherent with one another by locking them to different modes of a common OFC. This enabled them to behave as different frequency components of a Fourier series to generate various waveforms. This was achieved by independently controlling the relative amplitude and phase of each slave laser, and combining them together. The generation of stable waveforms with at-top, triangular, parabolic, and sawtooth intensity profiles was demonstrated at a repetition rate of 100GHz
