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
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
The interactions of sockeye and kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), mysids (Mysis relicta), and macrozooplankton in Skaha and Osoyoos lakes, British Columbia
No full textSkaha and Osoyoos lakes are within in the British Columbia portion of the Okanagan Basin. Each
lake has an indigenous population of Oncorhynchus nerka and the lakes have been invaded by the
opossum shrimp Mysis relicta through downstream migration from Okanagan L. where they were
introduced in 1966.
O. nerka and M. relicta compete for zooplankton food resources. Generally, in lakes where M. relicta
have been introduced, the O. nerka population declines. Impacts of M. relicta include changes in
seasonal abundance and species composition of zooplankton, leading to effects on phytoplankton,
fish, trophic levels, lake nutrient processes, pollution, and parasitism. However, M. relicta is also a
potential food source for O. nerka and may be a benefit. The interactions between these two species
and zooplankton are variable and may be lake specific.
Historical and current information related to O. nerka, and M. relicta and zooplankton population
dynamics was collected for Skaha and Osoyoos lakes. This information was compared to the mysidinduced
effects observed in other studies. In addition, the diel vertical migration of O. nerka and M.
relicta was monitored and their diets analysed to evaluate the interactions between these species,
including the potential of M. relicta as a food source.
Within a decade of the introduction of M. relicta into Okanagan Lake, the'kokanee population in
Skaha Lake underwent a five-fold decline; however, M. relicta is not directly responsible for this
decline. The numbers of sockeye in Osoyoos Lake are highly variable, with many factors affecting
their survival and M. relicta may become a future contributing factor.
Since M. relicta entered Skaha and Osoyoos lakes there has been no significant change in the
abundance of cladocerans, species diversity of cladocerans has declined, and the annual pulse in
cladoceran densities has been delayed in Skaha L. M. relicta are a food source to O. nerka as early as their year of emergence. The interactions between M. relicta and O. nerka in each lake vary
seasonally, and are influenced by zooplankton production and abiotic factors.
Bioenergetic investigations are recommended to better quantify the competitive interactions between
O. nerka, M. relicta and zooplankton in these lakes.Science, Faculty ofResources, Environment and Sustainability (IRES), Institute forGraduat
