    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

    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

ABSTRACT This research aims to describe the implementation of group guidance to increase future optimism among drug abusers at the BNN Kalianda Rehabilitation Center, South Lampung. In this research there were 59 drug abuse clients undergoing rehabilitation at the BNN Kalianda Rehabilitation Center, South Lampung. The impact of drug abuse is that the physical and psychological impacts can also be disturbed because it can cause difficulty thinking, feeling anxious, confused, difficult to concentrate, and other feelings of insecurity. Another impact is the loss of optimism about the future among drug abusers. This type of research is field research which is descriptive qualitative in nature. The research method used by the author in sampling was purposive sampling technique. The primary data sources in this research were 5 drug abuse clients, and 2 counselors at the South Lampung BNN Kalianda Rehabilitation Center. Meanwhile, secondary data sources in this research were obtained from documentation, books, photos, videos and so on. The data collection techniques used were structured interviews, then non-participant observation and documentation. The data analysis technique used is the John Creswell analysis model which consists of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this research show that the implementation of group guidance to increase future optimism among drug abusers at the BNN Kalianda Rehabilitation Center in South Lampung has been implemented through four stages, namely 1) Formation Phase, namely establishing familiarity with clients who abuse drugs. 2) Transition Stage, namely the drug abuse client is transferred to listen to an explanation of group guidance, the principles of group guidance, the objectives of group guidance, and is again observed regarding his readiness to follow group guidance to the next stage. 3) Activity Implementation Stage, at this stage the client is expected to be active and also listen to material about motivation to achieve the future so as not to give up, do questions and answers or share about the problems they are experiencing with other client who are also taking part in group guidance. 4) Closing Stage, namely the counselor makes a conclusion regarding how the group guidance is going, develops further actions, evaluates the progress of the group guidance, makes an agreement regarding the next meeting and ends the group guidance activity. The conclusion of this research is that it has been successfully carried out and has had a positive effect on drug abuse client. Keywords: Group Guidance, Future Optimism, Drug Abuse Perpetrators

    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

    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.
