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
Microplastic abundance, composition and distribution on selected beaches, seafloor and in marine animals of Perhentian Islands, Terengganu / Lim Ying Wei
No full textSmall pieces of plastic with sizes less than 5mm is known as microplastic. Accidental intake of microplastic could disturb an organism’s digestive and hormone systems. Of all the landscapes, islands are especially vulnerable to microplastic pollution due to their distinctive geographical and meteorological characteristics. Perhentian Islands in Terengganu state of Peninsular Malaysia was chosen as the study site for microplastic research as it harbours diverse marine species and consistently receives high number of tourist arrival. This project studies microplastic abundance attached to beach and seafloor sediments, within Acropora spp. coral, and in randomly collected marine animal carcasses during both Southwest and Northeast Monsoon seasons. Overall, the distribution of microplastic did not differ much between Southwest and Northeast Monsoon seasons, with p-value more than 0.05 based on two-way ANOVA analysis. However, significant difference (p-value less than 0.05) was observed between the sampling stations, beach zones, types of microplastic (foam, fragment, line, film and pellet) and sizes of the microplastic. The distribution trend of microplastic in beach sediment, seafloor sediment, Acropora spp. and carcasses of marine animals were found to be closely related to the anthropogenic activities, on top of the oceanographic factors such as wind, water current and waves. Increased tourist arrival gave rise to escalated deposition of plastic debris on shore, as well as, elevated access to sewerage system that washed fibrous microplastic into water column. Between sampling sites, significant difference (p-value <0.05) was found in the total microplastic abundance collected from the beach sediment, primarily due to varied beach orientation, wind regime, source location, degradation process of plastic, coastal dynamic and sinking velocity of microplastic. For the type of microplastic, foam dominated in beach sediment (47-87% of total microplastic) while line occupied largest quantities in both seafloor sediment and Acropora spp.. Foam is relatively light-weighted and able to drift four times faster than fragment, line, film and pellet along the water current thus widely deposited on-shore especially at high tide zones and berm . Meanwhile, line constitutes more than 60% and 80% in both seafloor sediment and Acropora sp. respectively, owing to the input of sewerage system that washed the fibrous microplastic offshore. Apart from that, line was also the most abundant microplastic (65% of total microplastic) identified in marine animal samples (fishes, sea cucumber and squid). Most microplastic found from biological samples (Acropora spp. and animals) have the size ranging from 0.001mm to 0.09mm, which matched the normal sizes of their prey (the zooplankton). Therefore, major cause of microplastic ingestion is most likely due to properties of microplastic that highly resembled their prey, subsequently led to massive intake and retention of microplastic inside their body
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
