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
"Another Day, Another Denarius": Roman Stipendium and Inflation
Full text linkThis master’s thesis looks at how Rome paid its soldiers and the impact of this payment on the Roman economy. The research will make a significant contribution to the classics field in its focused exploration of how Roman soldiers were paid, the payment sources and how these payments contributed to the Roman Empire's vast military operations. This thesis will further analyze how the payment of soldiers impacted Rome’s inflation during the Republic and Augustan and Flavian periods of the early Empire.
The author uses numismatic evidence to support his arguments. In chapter 1, the author uses research by Duncan-Jones and Michael Crawford’s hoard evidence to support the line of inquiry on how much it cost to pay the Roman army. In chapter 2, the author argues for and provides support on using Dutch excavation findings to illustrate the types of coins used and when they were used to pay the Roman military. Previously, scholars relied on excavations in German forts along the main part of the Rhine for such evidence. The author’s use of numismatic evidence in this unique way provides further support that the use of the denarius was the government's standard currency. He includes pictures of similar coins from the McMaster Museum of Art’s Bruce Brace Coin Collection to help the reader visualize the currency. Finally, in chapter 3, the author looks at the economic impact of such massive payments to pay Rome’s ever-expanding army. There, he uses numismatic evidence to look at issues of debasement, inflation and the bi-metallic standard. Again, he returns to the Dutch fort excavations for additional evidence on debasement.
In each chapter, the author looks at the socioeconomic impacts of these issues on the soldiers, especially the foot soldiers, and asks the question of how Rome valued its army. From this thesis, readers will gain insight into how paying the military negatively impacted Rome’s economy. The inflation that resulted had a significant impact on Roman culture, and this thesis focuses on the specific impact on Roman soldiers.ThesisMaster of Arts (MA)This master’s thesis looks at how Rome paid its soldiers and the impact of this payment on its economy.

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
