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
Physical mask : poetic-thecnical aspects on the composition on the stage body from the perspective of the interactive interpreter
No full textOrientador: Marília Vieira SoaresTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de ArtesResumo: A partir do olhar sobre a máscara e sua efetiva atuação no corpo cênico, desencadeou-se o interesse em pesquisar a maneira pela qual a essência deste elemento milenar, presente desde a origem da dança, pode manifestar-se na dança cênica da atualidade. Para tanto, este estudo parte da premissa de uma perspectiva integralizadora dos elementos de cena, tais como iluminação, cenário e figurino, para a expansão do entendimento e conseqüente composição da Máscara Corporal. Tal entendimento passa pela reflexão realizada por meio dos registros históricos no que se refere ao uso da máscara na dança cênica ocidental e dialoga com personalidades do cenário artístico atual da dança e do teatro. Os Laboratórios Corporais (LabCor 1 e 2) consolidaram a busca por referências aos questionamentos de como, quando e de que maneira a máscara corporal atua no processo criativo e potencializa o corpo cênico. Os laboratórios contaram ainda com o uso da saia e da luz negra como provocadores criativos do exercício cênico Aliança. Reconhece-se, assim, a máscara corporal como impulsionadora desse processo, ao propiciar ao corpo a sua desterritorialização, ou seja, um estado de suspensão promovido pelo distanciamento do corpo cotidiano e de seus referenciais já conhecidos. Ademais, a potencialidade transformadora, inerente à máscara, revela-se na relação do corpo com outros elementos cênicos na busca pela emergência de um Quem que dança ao interagir com o corpo cênico em outro tempo/espaçoAbstract: From the glance on the mask and its effective acting in the scenic body, the interest was awoken in investigating the way for which the essence of this thousand-year-old, present element, that is present since the origin of the dance, can manifest itself in the current scenic dance. To that end, this study starts from the premise of an integrated perspective of the scenic elements, such as lighting, scenery and costume, for the expansion of the understanding and consequent construction of the Physical Mask. This understanding occurs through the reflection carried out by means of the historical records of the mask use in the scenic western dance and interacts with personalities from the artistic current scenery of the dance and of the theater. The Physical Laboratories (LabCor 1 and 2) consolidated the search for references to the following questions: how, when and in which way the physical mask acts in the creative process and it intensifies the staging body. Over the laboratories there was still the use of the skirt as well as the black light as creative provocateurs of the scenic exercise Aliança. The physical mask is recognized like an impulse of this process, while it provides the body its deterritorialization, in other words, a state of suspension promoted by the distance of the daily body and of its already known referential systems. Furthermore, the transformative potentiality, which is intrinsic to the mask, is exposed in the relation of the body with other scenic elements in the search of the emergence of the one who dances while interacting with the scenic body in another time / spaceDoutoradoArtes CenicasDoutor em Arte
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

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.
