Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
"Guggenheim Museum Istanbul" Transform Waterfront Kadiköy : städtebauliche Verbesserung und Aufwertung der Uferzone
Full text linkDie seit einiger Zeit geführte Diskussion über die Umnutzung des historischen Bahnhof Haydarpasa hat mich inspiriert mich in dieser Arbeit mit der Uferzone Kadiköys zu befassen und durch den Bau eines öffentlichen Gebäudes einen neuen attraktiven Treffpunkt zu schaffen, der zugleich vernachlässigte Küstenteile wiederbelebt. Seit dem Tag, an dem das Centre Pompidou mehr Aufmerksamkeit generieren konnte, als der Eiffelturm, und seit dem der bekannte -Bilbao Effekt- den Tourismus ganzer Städte beeinflussen kann, zählen Kultur- und Museumsbauten zu ökonomischen und kulturpolitischen Impulsgebern jeder Stadt. Im Juni 2014 wurde von der Guggenheim Stiftung ein weltweit offener Wettbewerb für die Ideenfindung eines Guggenheim Museums in Helsinki ausgeschrieben. Dieser Wettbewerb ist mein Ausgangspunkt für die Fragestellung: Wäre ein Guggenheim Museum in Istanbul willkommen? Ähnlichkeiten der Bauplätze verlockten mich dazu eine Gegenüberstellung der Situationen zwischen Helsinki und Istanbul zu präsentieren. Die Küste Kad-köys bildet eine etwa 21 km lange natürliche Grenze in Istanbul. Das Grundstück, welches ich für das Guggenheim Museum ausgewählt habe, befindet sich direkt am Ufer Kadiköys, in bester Lage, direkt am Wasser. Der Entwurf geht respektvoll mit dem Standort um und schafft neue Freiflächen. Das geplante Guggenheim Museum expandiert, transformiert, befreit die Küste von unbenutzten, undefinierten Bauten und ist direkt an der Entwicklung der kapitalistischen Wirtschaft und Kultur beteiligt. Das Guggenheim Museums macht aus einem vernachlässigten Areal einen markanten Ort und einen nachhaltigen Gewinn für die Stadt Istanbul.The discussion, about the conversion of the ancient Haydarpasa railway station, inspired me to make the coastline of Kadiköys to the centrepiece of this thesis. By planning a new public building, it would become an attractive cultural centre, which revives abandoned parts of the coastline. When the Centre Pompidou in Paris generated more attention than the Eiffel tower a historic president was set. In the new era, cultural centres and museums are economic and political disrupters that can change entire districts of a city. Moreover, in June 2014 the Guggenheim Foundation announced a contest for a new museum in Helsinki. This contest inspired me to think about the possibility of a Guggenheim museum in Istanbul. Would it be welcome? Many similarities arise, when we compare the building sites and therefore it is a very compelling thought experiment to draw parallels like that. It is essential to understand that the coastline of Kad-köy creates a 21k m long natural border in Istanbul. The ground, which I would select for the Guggenheim museum is situated directly at the water. In addition my draft respects the nuances of the location and creates new free spaces that can be used in multiple ways. The planned museum expands, transforms and frees the coastline simultaneously. Unused and undefined buildings will be replaced by an amazing development of economy and culture. Through this Guggenheim building a neglected area will be changed to an notable and remarkable sight, to the benefit of the whole city of Istanbul

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.
