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
Managing training-induced interferences : energetic workouts and neuromuscular training
No full textLa préparation physique du joueur de rugby requière le développement simultané des qualités de force et d’endurance (Duthie et coll., 2003) et nécessite alors la combinaison d’efforts antagonistes pouvant induire un « conflit physiologique » au sein de l’organisme. Hickson (1980) fut le premier chercheur à mettre en évidence que la combinaison des qualités de force et d’endurance, au sein d’une même programmation, semble interférer sur le développement des qualités neuromusculaires. Cette interférence semblerait intervenir préférentiellement sur la production de force à vitesse rapide, la puissance et l’explosivité et concernerait essentiellement les groupes musculaires mobilisés au cours des deux formes d’entraînements. Plusieurs hypothèses, telles que la fatigue et les adaptations physiologiques contradictoires, ont été mises en avant pour expliquer ce phénomène. A l’inverse, l’entraînement de musculation ne semble pas présenter d’effets négatifs sur les adaptations oxydatives. Plusieurs variables, liées à la programmation de l’entraînement, influenceraient l’interférence sur le développement de la force. L’objectif général de ce travail de recherche sera alors d’étudier les effets de différentes configurations d’entraînement permettant de limiter l’intervention du phénomène interférentiel. Dans une première étude, nous avons mis en évidence une fatigue aigue induite par différents types d’entraînements d’endurance de haute intensité pouvant aller jusqu’à 24h. Ces résultats mettaient alors en avant la pertinence de placer les séances qualitatives de force avant celles d’endurance au sein d’une programmation combinée. Dans une deuxième étude, nous avons proposé de vérifier l’effet du temps de récupération entre les séances de force et d’endurance sur les adaptations neuromusculaires et oxydatives. Il s’avérerait alors qu’une durée de récupération de 24h soit plus efficace sur les gains de force et de VO2pic qu’une durée intermédiaire de 6h. Enfin, dans une troisième étude, nous nous sommes centrés sur les effets du type d’entraînement aérobie de haute intensité sur les adaptations physiologiques. L’entraînement de répétition de sprints longs perturberait davantage les gains de force à l’issue d’une période combinée caractérisée pourtant par 24h de récupération entre les séances. Ce type d’entraînement induirait en revanche des gains plus importants de VO2pic et de la performance moyenne au cours d’un test de sprints répétés qu’un entraînement intermittent court.Physical training of rugby players requires simultaneous development of strength and endurance qualities (Duthie et al., 2003) and therefore the combination of antagonistic exercises inducing a "physiological conflict". Hickson (1980) was the first to demonstrate that the combination of strength and endurance qualities within a same program seems to reduce the development of neuromuscular qualities. This interference would impair preferentially maximal strength production at fast velocity, maximal power and explosivity and would concern mainly muscle groups solicited during the two forms of training (strength and aerobic). Several hypotheses, such as fatigue and conflicting physiological adaptations have been put forward to explain the interference. Conversely, strength training does not appear to have negative effects on oxidative adaptations. Many variables related to schedule of training, would influence the impairment of strength quality development. The main aim of this research was to measure the effects of different configurations of training in order to limit the interference on neuromuscular adaptations. In a first study, we emphasized an acute fatigue up to 24 hours induced by different types of high-intensity interval training. These results showed the relevance to program strength before endurance sessions during a concurrent training program. Then, in a second study, we proposed to measure the effect of recovery delay between strength and aerobic sessions on neuromuscular and oxidative adaptations. We observed a 24h recovery period was more effective than lower duration of 6h on strength gains and VO2peak. Last, in a third study, we focused on the effects of the type of high-intensity interval training. Sprint interval training would more impair strength gains after a concurrent training period, despite 24h recovery delay between sessions. However, this type of training would induce greater gains of VO2peak and consequently of repeated sprint ability than short intermittent training
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

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.
