    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

Music that is currently distributed in digital form utilizes music streaming services as an alternative where music lovers can access legal digital music and artists who own the copyrights of music receive income from providing music for music streaming services. Music streaming service providers maintain their business by selling premium access rights and serving advertisements when users without premium access play music. Problem: With the availability of music in digital form, making it easier for music to be pirated. This causes people to prefer pirate music, so they don't have to pay subscription fees for music streaming services or listen to advertisements while listening to music. Especially in Indonesia, where music is one of the most popular entertainment media. With so many music lovers, not a few people in Indonesia do piracy to enjoy music. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research to find the factors that most influence user intentions in purchasing premium access to music streaming services and recommending them to others. It is hoped that this research can be used by music streaming service providers to develop their music streaming services, so that they can increase the number of users who purchase premium access on the services they provide. Objective: This research was conducted to analyze the factors that influence the intention of users of music streaming service in Indonesia in subscribing to premium access rights on music streaming services as well as the factors that influence the intention to provide recommendations to others to subscribe. This research was carried out using the Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method and applying the modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model. Data was collected by distributing online questionnaires. Result: The results obtained from this study are performance expectations, hedonic motivation, price value, habits, involvement and interest, behavior towards piracy, and content quality have a significant positive effect on the intention to buy premium access on music streaming services. Meanwhile, perceived freemium-premium fit has a significant negative effect on the intention to buy premium access to music streaming services. In addition, it was also found that the intention to buy premium access on music streaming and personalisation had a significant positive effect on the intention to recommend purchasing premium access on music streaming services. Value Added: By providing the results of the factors that most influence users' intention to buy premium access rights and strategic suggestions regarding the development of music streaming services, it is hoped that this research will be able to help music streaming service providers to be able to increase sales of premium access rights for the services they provide. This research is also expected to be used as a reference in carrying out related research

    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

    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.
