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
ارزشِ ادبی ظهوری ترشیزی در گفتمان های نقدِ ادبی كلاسیك و معاصر
No full textNur ud-Din Muhammad Zuhuri, a distinguished Iranian poet and prose stylist of the early, 11th century AH, was a celebrated literary figure who emigrated from Iran. In his youth, he spent a brief period at the court of Shah Abbas of the Safavid dynasty, where he composed laudatory verses in the monarch's honor. However, he soon left for India, where he found patronage at the courts of Burhan Nizam Shah sani of Ahmadnagar and Ibrahim Adil Shah of Bijapur, composing panegyrics in their praise. Zuhuri was highly skilled in both prose and poetry. His Divan reflects all the hallmark features of the Sabk-e-Hindi (Indian style of poetry), that prevailed in his time, while his prose follows the nasr-e-masnu (ornate literary style). Through the creative use of literary devices and rhetorical embellishments - distinctive of the Indian aesthetic - he infused his works with color and elegance. Some poets and prose writers even imitated him. Consequently, literary critics, both past and contemporary, have lauded his contributions to Persian literature. This article explores the literary stature and enduring significance of Zuhuri Torshizi in the context of classical and contemporary Persian literary criticism
بررسی و تحلیل آرایه تشخیص در ابیات ظهوری ترشیزی
Full text linkNur ud-Din Muhammad Zuhuri is recognized as one of the prominent Iranian poets and and writers of the early 11th century AH (17th century CE). In his youth, after acquiring literary education, he migrated to India, where he became affiliated with royal courts and composed panegyrics for various rulers among his most renowned works are the Divan of Zuhuri, the prose preface to his writings, and his Saqi-nama. Zuhuri's poetry exemplifies the intellectual and aesthetic characteristics of the Indian style (Sabk-e-Hendi). One of the most salient rhetorical devices in this style is personification (tashkhis), which is frequently observed in the poetry of Zuhuri Torshizi. In this literary device, the poet, using the power of imagination, attributes human traits and emotions to inanimate objects, natural elements, creatures, or abstract concepts. This paper examines the function and significance of personification in the poetry of Zuhuri Torshizi. The use of personification enhances imagination and imagery in his poetry. Through a close reading of selected verses, it explores how Zuhuri employs personification to intensify imaginative expression, enrich visual imagery, and convey mystical, emotional, and philosophical concepts in a concrete and accessible form
