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
АНАЛИЗ ОСТАТОЧНЫХ ДЕФОРМАЦИЙ В ЭЛЕМЕНТАХ КУЗОВА ЛЕГКОВОГО АВТОМОБИЛЯ МЕТОДОМ ПРЯМОГО ИНТЕГРИРОВАНИЯ
Get PDFCurrently, there are many different methods to determine the speed of a vehicle at the time of collision. Under the conditions of limited initial data for experts, such as wheel tracks on the roadway at the scene of an accident, the best method is to determine the speed of a car at the time of collision, based on the amount of kinetic energy spent for the deformation of elements and parts of cars. In this regard, the article is devoted to the problem of analysis of residual deformations in the elements of the car body when determining the speed of its movement at the moment of collision. The analysis of various types of residual deformations and methods of their estimation is carried out. The method of direct integration for the analysis of residual deformations in the elements of the car body is proposed, since it most accurately reflects the entire mechanics of the deformation process for the car body at the low level of labor intensity. This factor is one of the most important when choosing a method for investigating the circumstances of a road accident. The proposed method shows the smallest error of calculations when determining the speed of cars at the moment of collision.The research purpose is to develop and justify a model for accounting for the cost of kinetic energy for the deformation of structural elements of the car body when determining its speed at the moment of collision based on the analysis of residual deformations in the elements of the car body by direct integration.Methodology the article uses a systematic approach, methods of analysis and mathematical modeling.Results: the proposed method allows at the stage of investigation of traffic accidents to determine the speed of the vehicle at the time of collision in their deformations, which more fully accounts for all costs kinetic energy for the deformation mechanism of complex body elements having ribs, corrugations, and other elements, which increase the bending stiffness.Practical implications: the obtained results should be used in expert practice to study the circumstances and mechanism of a traffic accident when determining the speed of cars at the time of a collision.В настоящее время существует множество различных методов определения скорости движения транспортного средства в момент столкновения. В условиях ограниченных исходных данных для экспертов, таких как следы колес на проезжей части в условиях места происшествия, наиболее оптимальным методом является метод определения скорости автомобиля в момент столкновения, основанный на учете затрат кинетической энергии на деформацию элементов и деталей автомобилей. В связи с чем, статья посвящена проблеме анализа остаточных деформаций в элементах кузова автомобиля при определении скорости его движения в момент столкновения. Проведен анализ различных видов остаточных деформаций и методов их оценки. Предложен метод прямого интегрирования для анализа остаточных деформаций в элементах кузова легкового автомобиля, поскольку он наиболее точно отражает всю механику образования деформаций кузова и на уровне низкой трудоемкости. Этот фактор является одним из важных при выборе методики исследования обстоятельств дорожно-транспортного происшествия. Предложенная методика показывает наименьшую погрешность вычислений при определении скорости движения автомобилей в момент столкновения.Цель – разработать и обосновать модель учета затрат кинетической энергии да деформацию конструктивных элементов кузова легкового автомобиля при определении его скорости движения в момент столкновения на основании анализ остаточных деформаций в элементах кузова автомобиля методом прямого интегрирования.Метод или методология проведения работы: в статье использовались системный подход, методы анализа и математического моделирования.Результаты: предложенная в работе методика дает возможность на стадии исследования обстоятельств дорожно-транспортного происшествия определить скорость движения автомобилей в момент столкновения по их деформациям, которая более полно учитывает все затраты кинетической энергии на механизм деформирования сложных кузовных элементов, имеющих ребра, гофры и другие элементы, повышающие их жесткость при изгибе.Область применения результатов: полученные результаты целесообразно применять в экспертной практике исследования обстоятельств и механизма дорожно-транспортного происшествия при определении скорости движения автомобилей в момент столкновения
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

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.
