Andrew Cox Marshall: Centenarian, Slave, Porter
Full text linkAndrew Cox Marshall, a mulatto slave, was born probably in 1756 in South Carolina and came to Savannah in 1766. He was a slave for approximately fifty years and was owned by at least five different men. A successful dray business enabled Marshall to purchase his freedom from a Mr. Richard Richardson sometime after 1812. Marshall\u27s first wife, also a slave was sold away from him and he never saw her again. Rachel, his second wife died in 1829 and a year or so later he married Sarah a woman thirty-nine years younger than himself. There were twenty children born to Marshall, however only one, George, would survive his father. In 1812 he became pastor of the First African Baptist Church where he served until his death on December 7, 1856. Marshall is most noted for the leadership of his flock and through a schism in 1832 over a \u27\u27Campbell and Dunning Doctrine\u27\u27 which caused 155 members to split £rom his church. Andrew Cox Marshall was a man who was well respected by both white and black and he carried much influence in the city of Savannah during the latter years of his life.https://digitalcommons.georgiasouthern.edu/sav-bios-lane/1191/thumbnail.jp
Developing a library strategic response to Artificial Intelligence
No full textThe purpose of this working document is to set out considerations relevant for libraries developing a strategic response to Artificial Intelligence.The text is organised around developing a set of questions that prompt reflection and action (section 4). It is hoped that the document can support local decision making about AI.Authorship: This working document for discussion was prepared by Andrew Cox, as convenor of the IFLA Artificial Intelligence SIG.

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
Andrew Cox : pouvoir, relations d’affaires et supply chain management
No full textInternational audienceAndrew Cox est l’un des auteurs de référence dans l’étude des relations inter-organisationnelles et dans le management des Supply Chains (SC). L’originalité de ses travaux académiques réside dans le fait qu’ils se sont attachés, depuis le début des années 1990, à intégrer la notion de pouvoir dans le management des affaires et des achats. De l’étude de l’organisation de nombreuses grandes entreprises et fort de ses connaissances en économie, il en tirera ses premiers enseignements sur leur succès ou leur échec. Ses travaux le conduiront à proposer une approche conceptuelle et originale du management stratégique des achats, en affichant une réelle hétérodoxie qu’il n’aura alors de cesse de défendre à travers sa propre explication des causes du succès ou de l’échec des entreprises. Le contexte des affaires dans lequel les entreprises évoluent est pour lui au coeur des relations clients-fournisseurs au même titre que le pouvoir de domination que peut exercer un acheteur sur son (ses) fournisseur(s). Cette posture singulière et progressive qu’adopte Andrew Cox depuis plus de vingt ans structure ce chapitre. Ainsi, la première partie traite du contexte des affaires dans la relation clients-fournisseurs, élément central dans la pensée d’Andrew Cox. Cela l’amène très rapidement à intégrer le pouvoir dans la gestion de ces relations, tel est l’objet de la deuxième partie. Enfin, la troisième partie met en perspective l’influence mais aussi les limites des travaux d’Andrew Cox dans le champ du Supply Chain Management (SCM)
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
