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
Cyberinstrumenty we współczesnych konfliktach na Bliskim Wschodzie. Perspektywa bezpieczeństwa jednostki, społeczeństwa i instytucji państwa
Get PDFWydział HumanistycznyThe Middle East should be considered one of the most distinct geopolitical regions in today’s
international relations. In geographical terms, the region is commonly taken to include West Asia
and North Africa; its territorial range significantly overlaps the so-called Arab world. And yet if
we want to outline the boundaries of the region in geopolitical terms, confining it to the areas
inhabited by the Arab nations would be too much of a simplification. The central part of the Middle
East is the so-called Levant sub-region which comprises the area of Egypt, and the countries of
the Fertile Crescent, namely Jordan, Syria and Israel. Another two sub-regions are areas that
remain homogeneous in social and political terms: one is the Maghreb sub-region with Libya,
Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and the other one the Persian Gulf sub-region including Iraq, Iran,
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. The
distinctive nature of the latter is determined by two factors, namely the geographical location with
the Persian Gulf as the axis and the socio-political similarities between the countries of the region.
Invariably associated with enormous oil reserves, the Middle East is also viewed as one of the
most turbulent and unstable regions of the world.
The focus of my research is on cyber terrorism in terms of identifying the central concept
and the complexity of cyberspace threats as well as the potential use of cyber instruments to help
states and international organisations achieve their goals. The period of research covered
contemporary military conflicts from the date of the WTC attack in New York in 2001 until 2016.
The dissertation shows the results of the research in how the particular states have attempted to
engage cyber instruments to fight terrorism.
The research is centred on the root causes of contemporary conflicts in the Middle East, which
include history, geographical aspects and religious beliefs as well as cyber instruments used to
stage terrorist attacks in cyberspace.
In my dissertation I provide a description of the practical application of cyber instruments in
contemporary conflicts in the Middle East with special focus on actions that combine the potential
of ICT solutions with classic acts of terrorism and explain the ideology that drives them.
I also give an account of the development of ICT technologies and explain the central idea
behind cyber terrorism, analyse selected cyber attacks and show how to respond to and defend
against them. A comparative analysis of cybercrime has been conducted which rests on Omani
and Polish law, and strategies to ensure cyberspace security have also been discussed.Bliski Wschód (ang. Middle East) należy uznać za jeden z najbardziej wyodrębnionych we współczesnych stosunkach międzynarodowych regionów polityczno-geograficznych. W sensie geograficznym uznaje się,że region ten obejmuje obszary północnej Afryki oraz Azji Zachodniej. W znacznej mierze jego zasięg terytorialny pokrywa się z tzw. Światem arabskim.
Tym niemniej ograniczanie się tylko do obszaru zamieszkiwanego przez ludność arabską stanowi nazbyt daleko idące uproszczenie, jeśli dążymy do geograficzno-politycznego definiowania ram przestrzennych regionu. W przypadku Bliskiego Wschodu część centralną stanowi tzw. subregion Lewantu, na którego obszarze znajdują się państwa takie, jak: Egipt, oraz państwa żyznego półksiężyca, czyli Jordania, Syria oraz Izrael. Kolejne dwa subregiony są obszarami, które zachowują istotną wewnętrzną spójność o charakterze społeczno-politycznym. Pierwszy z nich stanowi subregion Maghrebu obejmujący takie kraje, jak: Libia, Algieria, Maroko, Tunezja.
Natomiast kolejny stanowi subregion Zatoki Arabskiej, w którego skład wchodzą takie państwa, jak: Irak, Iran, Kuwejt, Arabia Saudyjska, Bahrajn, Katar, Oman, Zjednoczone Emiraty Arabskie oraz Jemen. W przypadku tego ostatniego subregionu dwa czynniki decydują o jego wyodrębnieniu. Są to: ulokowanie geograficzne, którego główną oś stanowi Zatoka Perska, oraz podobieństwa społeczno-polityczne państw regionu. Obszar Bliskiego Wschodu nieodłącznie jest kojarzony z ogromnymi zasobami naturalnymi ropy naftowej. Jednocześnie uchodzi też za jeden z najbardziej niespokojnych i niestabilnych zakątków świata.
Główny kierunek badań w pracy został położony na cyberterroryzm, w zakresie określenia istoty i złożoności zagrożeń w cyberprzestrzeni oraz możliwości wykorzystania cyberinstrumentów na poziomie aktywności podejmowanej przez państwa jak i organizacje międzynarodowe. Okres badawczy obejmował współczesne konflikty zbrojne datowane od ataku na World Trade Centre w Nowym Jorku w 2001 roku do 2016 roku. Przedstawione zostały wyniki badań z podejmowanych przez państwa prób zastosowania cyberinstrumentów w walce z terroryzmem.
Praca jest ukierunkowana na aspekty uwarunkowań współczesnych konfliktów na Bliskim Wschodzie na które wpływają: historia, uwarunkowania geograficzne oraz przekonania religijne, oraz cyberinstrumenty, które są używane do ataków terrorystycznych w cyberprzestrzeni.
W dysertacji przedstawiłem zastosowanie w praktyce cyberinstrumentów we współczesnych konfliktach na Bliskim Wschodzie ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem działań łączących osiągnięcia teleinformatyczne z klasycznymi aktami terroru oraz wyjaśnię ich podłoże ideologiczne.
Omówiłem rozwój technologii informacyjnych oraz komunikacyjnych iistotę cyberterroryzmu, poddałem analizie przykłady ataków cybernetycznych, a także sposobów reagowania na nie i obrony przed nimi. Studium porównawcze zjawiska cyberprzestępczości przeprowadzone zostało w oparciu o przepisy prawa omańskiego i polskiego, omówione zostały także strategie bezpieczeństwa cyberprzestrzeni
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.
