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
Informe Jurídico sobre la Casación 9234-2016-Del Santa
Full text linkEn el presente informe jurídico, el autor analiza los problemas jurídicos
identificados con respecto a la Casación Laboral 9234-2016-Del Santa, la cual
se refiere al caso concreto de un trabajador que se encontraba, fuera de su
jornada laboral, en comisión de servicios, e ingirió bebidas alcohólicas dentro del
vehículo de la empresa, cuando estaba retornando de la comisión; de tal forma
que su empleador lo cesa por la falta grave contemplada en el inciso e) del
artículo 25° de la LPCL.
De tal forma que, la Corte Suprema – que conoció el caso mediante recurso de
casación interpuesto – declaro fundado la demanda por reposición por despido
fraudulento; sin embargo, consideramos que han existido ciertos problemas que
no han sido referenciados en el citado pronunciamiento.
Los cuales se derivan de la configuración de la duración de la comisión de
servicios y que implica dicha figura; asimismo, de los límites a la potestad
fiscalizadora del empleador con respecto a los trabajadores que han concluido
su jornada laboral. Sin embargo, el principal punto de referencia será aquel
correspondiente a analizar si en realidad nos encontramos ante un despido
fraudulento o ante otra clase de despido. Para lo cual, hemos consultado
diversas fuentes doctrinarias, una pluralidad de instrumentos normativos, tales
como legislación nacional, la Constitución y los diversos Convenios de la OIT.
De lo cual concluimos que, aun cuando no se ha cumplido con la
proporcionalidad y razonabilidad de la sanción, configurándose un despido
injustificado; esto no conlleva al establecimiento de un despido fraudulento, cuya
fundamentación y análisis se basa en el ánimo perverso y auspiciado por el
engaño del empleador.In this legal report, the author analyzes the identified legal issues regarding Labor
Cassation 9234-2016-Del Santa, which pertains to the specific case of an
employee who, outside working hours, was on a service mission and consumed
alcoholic beverages inside the company vehicle while returning from the mission.
As a result, the employer terminated his employment due to the serious
misconduct contemplated in section e) of Article 25° of the LPCL.
Consequently, the Supreme Court, which heard the case through the filed
cassation appeal, ruled in favor of the claim for reinstatement based on wrongful
dismissal. However, we believe that certain issues have not been addressed in
the aforementioned decision.
These issues stem from the configuration of the duration of the service mission
and its implications, as well as the limits to the employer's supervisory authority
over employees who have completed their working hours. However, the main
point of reference will be to determine whether we are truly dealing with a case
of fraudulent dismissal or another type of dismissal. For this purpose, we have
consulted various doctrinal sources and a range of normative instruments, such
as national legislation, the Constitution, and the various ILO Conventions.
Based on this, we conclude that even though the sanction lacks proportionality
and reasonableness, thus constituting an unjustified dismissal, it does not
amount to establishing a fraudulent dismissal, which is based on malicious intent
and deception on the part of the employer
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn 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.
