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
The Legal Viability of "Non Pregnancy Clauses" in Film Contract Legal Analysis
No full textAn NPC in film contracts prohibits an actress from getting pregnant until completion of principal photography for the film, a breach of which leads to the dismissal of the actress and or a claim for damages . The consideration of such a provision is attributed to the trouble related with shooting complicated scenes with the pregnant actress because of health concerns, the development of mid riff of an actress upon pregnancy, which is in accordance with the script, and the disturbance in the shooting plan in light of inaccessibility of the performer on the agreed dates, prompting budgetary loss for the producer. These provisions have been utilized for some time in numerous different countries and have currently crept in the Indian film industry too, with increased number of foreign studios making films here. Until now, a NPC has reportedly been used only once in the Indian film industry, when producer Subhash Ghai contracted with actress Madhuri Dixit, for the film 'Khalnayak', during the time she was in a serious relationship with actor Sanjay Dutt . Short while ago, actress Aishwaraya Rai Bachchan did not appear for the film faishon which was eventually marked by Priyanka Chopra.In this background, it is hypothesized that the producers are anxious to fence themselves against risks emerging out of an actress pregnancy, soon such conditions will turn into the standard in Indian film industry also, to the degree of existing contracts being improved. Many of the stakeholders believes that the connection amongst an actress and producers in the industry in India is based on trust. Henceforth, it is likely that arrangements and mutual understanding wont be supplanted by such contracts.Anyway it should be recalled that compromises by method for transactions cant occur when the parties have unequal dealing powers. For example, on account of backstage craftsmen opposite the producer, and so forth. This underlines the significance of averting dependence on contract law in such manner. It is important to note that regardless of whether a NPC is proclaimed invalid so far as movies are concerned, the worries of an actress wont get tended to. This is on the grounds that there is no relating obligation on the maker to end the film serial when an actress is fit to shoot once again. Therefore, when the shooting for the movie hasnt yet begun, or when it is conceivable to recast the specific part in spite of the shooting of the movie have begun, while the on screen character cant be rejected, the directors can recast her part. Essentially, when there is a settled term contract, there is a possibility that the term of the agreement will lapse when an actress has returned to work.

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
DisasterReliefGPT: Multimodal AI for Autonomous Disaster Impact Assessment and Crisis Communication
No full textDispelling 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
