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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Variación morfológica y de rasgos de historia de vida en post-metamórficos de Rhinella spinulosa (ANURA:Bufonidae). Efecto de la latitud y la temperatura sobre el desarrollo larval
No full textLa variación fenotípica que presentan los anfibios los hace un modelo apropiado para
comprender los factores que promueven diferencias morfológicas y de los rasgos de
historia de vida entre poblaciones de una misma especie. Rhinella spinulosa es un anuro
que presenta una distribución amplia y fragmentada. En Chile se distribuye desde la
región de Arica y Parinacota hasta el norte de la Patagonia, habitando una variedad de
ambientes diferentes a lo largo de su distribución. En este estudio se pretende dilucidar
la variación morfológica y en rasgos de historia de vida en post-metamórficos de esta
especie en función de la latitud y de la temperatura de desarrollo larval. Para ello se
recolectaron puestas de huevos desde cuatro localidades, las larvas fueron crecidas a dos
temperaturas distintas desde el inicio de la fase larval (Gosner 25) hasta la metamorfosis.
Una vez completada la metamorfosis, a cada individuo se le midió doce atributos
morfométricos. Además, con el fin de determinar variaciones en rasgos de historia de
vida entre poblacionales y entre temperaturas de desarrollo, se midió el tamaño corporal
(distancia entre la narina y la cloaca), tiempo a la metamorfosis, tasa de crecimiento y
sobrevida a la metamorfosis. Se encontró un efecto de la interacción de la temperatura y
la localidad para todos los rasgos de historia de vida y para los rasgos morfológicos de la
cabeza. El PCA y DA muestran, con un alto porcentaje de identidad, que Farellones
constituye un grupo diferenciado del resto de las localidades, lo que indica variación
morfológica geográfica. Se discute adaptación local de las poblaciones a la condición
térmica.The phenotypical variation that amphibians show make them a suitable model to
understand factors promoting history life features and morphological differences
between colonies of the same species. Rhinella spinulosa is an Anura showing a wide
and fragmented distribution. In Chile its distribution goes from Arica and Parinacota
region to the North of Patagonia, living in a variety of environments through all its
distribution. This study intends to clarify history life features and morphological
variations in post metamorphic individuals of this species according to the latitude and
temperature ofthe larval growth. For this, egg-laying was collected from four localities.
Larvae were grown to two different temperatures from the beginning of the larval phase
(Gosner 25) to the metamorphosis. Once the metamorphosis is completed, each
individual was measured with twelve morphometric attributes. With the aim of,
furthermore, determine variations on history life features between colonies and between
development temperatures. Physical size (distance between the nostril and cloaca), time
to metamorphosis, growth and survival rate to metamorphosis were measured. An
interaction effect was found between temperature and locality in all features of history
life and in all head morphological features. Principal component analysis (PCA) and
discriminant analysis (DA) show that, with a high identity percentage, Farellones forms
a different group from the other localities, which shows geographical morphologic
variation. Local adaptation of the colonies to thermal condition is discussed.Versión original del auto

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.
