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
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
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
INDIKASI PENGARUH KEBUDAYAAN PERSIA DI SULAWESI SELATAN: KAJIAN ARKEOLOGI ISLAM
transformation of Islamic teachings is one part of the historical phase in South Sulawesi. With various lines of arrival and a series of processes of Islamic socialization, it has implications for the acculturation and assimilation of culture. Persia as one of the cultural bases that played a role in the Islamization the process helped influence and colour the culture of Islamic societies in South Sulawesi. Archaeologically, the indication is illustrated by observing the attributes of Persian culture that attached to several steps of the tomb, headstone, and flag buildings in South Sulawesi. The method used forms analysis to obtain attributes of attributes, then the historical analysis is used to measure aspects of the similarity of ideas contained in these relics. Archaeologically, the indications and effects (transformation) of Persian culture in South Sulawesi is illustrated in (1) the tradition of establishing vaulted tomb buildings in people who are considered to have an important role in the sociological and religious aspects, the use of attributes in the form of lion embodiments in gravestones flags to represent the values (attitudes) of heroes, brave men, warriors, warfare, the use of figurative decorations on tombs as an attempt to demonstrate sociological conditions and personal values as a past inspiration in relation to maintaining the collective memory of society from time to time future.Transformasi ajaran Islam adalah salah satu bagian dalam fase sejarah di Sulawesi Selatan. Dengan berbagai alur kedatangan dan rangkaian proses sosialisasi Islam, memberikan implikasi terjadinya akulturasi dan asimilasi budaya. Persia sebagai salah satu basis budaya yang berperan dalam proses Islamisasi, turut memberi pengaruh dan mewarnai kebudayaan masyarakat Islam di Sulawesi Selatan.Secara arkeologis indikasi tersebuttergambar dengan mengamamati atribut kebudayaan Persia yang melekat pada beberapa peniggalan bangunan makam, nisan, dan bendera yang ada di Sulawesi Selatan. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis bentuk untuk memperoleh unsur kesamaan wujud atribut, kemudiandigunakan analisis historis dalam menakar aspek kesamaan gagasan yang terkandungpada peninggalan tersebut. Secara arkeologis, bentuk-bentuk indikasi dan pengaruh (tranformasi) budaya Persia di Sulawesi Selatan tergambar pada (1) tradisi mendirikan bangunan makam berkubah pada orang yang dianggap memiliki peranan penting pada aspek sosiologi dan keagamaan, adanya penggunaan atribut berupa penggunaan perwujudan singa pada nisan dan bendera untuk merepresentasikan nilai (sikap) kepahlawan, pemberani, laki-laki, prajurit, peperangan, penggunaan ragam hias figuratif pada makam sebagai upaya dalam mendemostrasikan kondisi-kondisi sosiologis dan nilai kepribadian sebagai suatu inspirasi masa lalu dalam hubungannya menjaga ingatan kolektif masyarakat dari masa ke masa

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