Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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.

Vers Université 4.0 : Une méthode d'Ingénierie basée sur les Modèles pour Concevoir des Systèmes Cyber-Physiques Éducatifs
No full textThe Internet of Everything (IoE) is gaining a growing interest in scientific and industrial communities to have expanded the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. In fact, several domains have been through a digital transformation evolution, for instance Industry 4.0, however, a lot still needs to be done regarding the educational domain especially at university. Instructional design is a major concern among the TEL (Technology Enhanced Learning) community. The covid-19 health crisis has dug deeper into several of its challenges. The objective of Industry 4.0 is to foster the integration of complex physical machinery and devices based on Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) and IoT. A set of sensors, actuators and software components are used to monitor, analyze, and control smart factories through control loops (MAPE). In this thesis, we investigate how these concepts could contribute in shaping and engineering the next revolution at university (University 4.0). To do so, we have conducted an exploratory approach in order to, first give a definition of what we call Educational Cyber Physical Systems (ECPS) to build it upon ideas from the literature. This concept is barely addressed in the TELE domain. We apply this concept and its utilization in different educational levels (Classroom, Course, Curriculum). Then, we propose a model-driven method (ModelECPS) to design these systems founded on a modeling process and three Domain Specific Languages (DSL). The modeling process is issued from the Object Management Group (OMG) standards that define the Y process based on three modeling pillars of the MDE method. The platform Independent Model (PIM) represents the educational meta-model, called EML4.0. The Platform Definition Model (PDM) is the connected environment meta-model, called CPSML, that extends the modeling “things” into modeling “everything”. Finally, the ECPSML defines the meta-model that describes the educational connected environment and thus the Platform Specific Model (PSM). Its design is based on concept alignment between both PDM and PIM models and is semi-automatically generated through applying ATL rules (Model-to-Model transformation). A utilization modeling process for the method is given in order to guide the different stakeholders in designing such systems (ECPS). To illustrate our proposal, we conducted a case study on a real-life ECPS classroom during the covid-19 health crisis. We describe the required models designed in this process and supervise students' progress during the practical sessions.L'Internet of Everything (IoE), extension du paradigme Internet of Things (IoT), est de plus en plus étudié et utilisé par la communauté scientifique et industrielle. Plusieurs domaines ont connu une évolution notable en matière de transformation numérique grâce à l'intégration de ce dernier, comme par exemple l'Industrie 4.0, mais il reste encore beaucoup à faire dans le domaine de l'éducation, notamment à l'université. La conception pédagogique est une préoccupation majeure de la communauté EIAH (Environnements Informatiques pour l'Apprentissage Humain). La crise sanitaire de la covid-19 a fait ressortir plusieurs défis à cet égard. L'objectif de l'Industrie 4.0 est de permettre l'intégration de machines et de dispositifs physiques complexes (Systèmes Cyber-Physiques (CPS) basés sur le paradigme IoT). Un ensemble de capteurs, actionneurs et composants logiciels sont alors utilisés pour monitorer, analyser et contrôler des usines intelligentes, en appliquant des boucles de contrôles autonomiques (MAPE: Monitor, Analyze, Plan, Execute). Ces boucles de contrôles permettent d'automatiser tout ou partie des processus métiers. Dans cette thèse, nous étudions comment les concepts utilisés dans l'Industrie 4.0 pourraient contribuer à l'ingénierie de la prochaine révolution numérique universitaire (Université 4.0). Pour ce faire, nous menons une approche exploratoire afin de définir ce que nous appelons les Systèmes Cyber Physiques Educatifs (ECPS) en nous appuyant sur des travaux de la littérature. Nous appliquons ce concept à différents niveaux d'enseignement (séance pédagogique, module, curriculum). Ensuite, nous proposons une méthode de conception de ces systèmes basée sur un processus de modélisation (ModelECPS) et trois Langages de modélisation Spécifiques au Domaine (DSL). La modélisation suit un processus en Y, issu des normes de l'Object Managament Group (OMG). Elle se base sur trois modèles piliers de l’Ingénierie Dirigée par les Modèles (IDM) : le modèle indépendant de la plateforme (PIM) qui représente le méta-modèle éducatif, appelé EML4.0; le modèle de définition de la plateforme (PDM), qui est le méta-modèle d'environnement connecté (CPSML), et qui étend la modélisation des "Things" à la modélisation de "Everything"; enfin, le modèle ECPSML qui définit le méta-modèle qui décrit l'environnement connecté éducatif et donc la plateforme spécifique au domaine (PSM). La conception du modèle ECPSML est basée sur un alignement des concepts entre les modèles PDM et PIM et est semi-automatiquement générée par l'application de règles ATL définies pour mettre en place une transformation de modèle à modèle. Pour finir, un processus d'utilisation de la méthode est proposé afin de guider les différentes parties prenantes dans la conception de tels systèmes (ECPS). Pour illustrer notre proposition, nous avons réalisé une étude de cas sur une activité de travaux pratiques pendant la crise sanitaire. Nous décrivons l'ensemble des modèles correspondants à cette activité, ainsi que les boucles MAPE utilisées afin de monitorer et superviser les étudiants pendant la réalisation des travaux pratiques
