    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    El tema de la presente tesis trata sobre el Procedimiento de Saneamiento Catastral realizado por la Superintendencia Nacional de los Registros Públicos. SUNARP, y la problemática acerca de cómo este se encuentra regulado, lo cual, permite que su uso afecte derechos de propiedad, tanto de terceros regístrales como no regístrales, mediante la inscripción del Código Único Catastral, como parte del proceso de vinculación del catastros predial, con el registros de predios, objetivos que la Ley 28294 que crea el Sistema Nacional Integrado y su Vinculación con los Registros de Predios, quiere alcanzar. Este procedimiento, se encuentra actualmente regulado en el Reglamento de la ley 28294 y la Directiva 001-2007 SUNARP. A fin de entender la problemática actual de este procedimiento y la normativa que la regula, se estudiará en tres Capítulos. En cuanto al primer capítulo los problemas planteados fueron: ¿Es efectivo el Saneamiento Catastral Registral establecido en la Ley 28294?, ¿Es adecuada la regulación del saneamiento catastral registral? y ¿Es posible que exista uniformidad en los sistemas de medición que viabilicen la adecuación de datos de los predios registrados?. Posteriormente Se ha procedido a formular las hipótesis con sus respectivas variables e indicadores. Nuestra tesis se ha desarrollado bajo el diseño no experimental, es una investigación de tipo descriptivo y hasta cierto tipo correlacional, este último porque nuestra investigación se adscribe a las tesis causalistas. Respecto al segundo capítulo, se desarrollará, el marco teórico de la tesis, que comprende antecedentes y definiciones que fortalecen el presente trabajo. Asimismo, se expondrá la manera cómo se está manejando el saneamiento catastral registral en nuestro país y la problemática que ello implica, los cuales han provocado problemas de inseguridad jurídica en nuestro país. En cuanto al tercer Capítulo, las técnicas de investigación, que se han analizado son las fuente documentales, como resoluciones del Tribunal Registral; encuestas que se realizaron a asistentes regístrales y registradores; también, entrevistas que se realizaron a registradores, una Vocal del Tribunal Registral y una Ingeniera de la Secretaría Técnica de Catastro. Así también, se estudió el marco normativo que regula el saneamiento catastral registral, como aspectos importantes que se aprecian en el Derecho Comparado, donde se tomo en cuenta, el procedimiento de rectificación de áreas y linderos realizado tanto en Colombia como en Costa Rica. Asimismo se analizó los puntos discrepantes y coincidentes de las distintas técnicas empleadas adecuándolas a las hipótesis planteadas. Concluyendo el presente trabajo de investigación y adoptando criterios lógicos como resultado del análisis de los instrumentos de estudio, se propondrán soluciones para una adecuada regulación sobre el Saneamiento Catastral Registral

    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

    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

    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
