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
Essays on Enviromental and Labour Economics
No full textThis study utilizes the propensity score matching method with survey weights adjustment to identify the parents' entrepreneurial attitude effects on children’s years of schooling, probability of studying at private schools, and probability of studying at a university (general, public, and private). The micro data employed is from the National Household Sample Survey of 2015. The study also presents a series of robustness strategies and heterogeneous treatment effect analysis. Our findings suggest that entrepreneurial parents are more willing to enroll their children in private schools. These effects are greater when both parents are entrepreneurs. The results also indicate that children of entrepreneurial parents are more likely to study at universities, which are mainly directed to private universities. The heterogeneous treatment effect analysis highlights that the gender of the children and entrepreneurial parents impacts the magnitude of the treatment. Article 2: This study evaluates the effects of PPCDAm implementation on the observed deforestation in the Brazilian Legal Amazon. The triple difference method is used to explore the relative differences between the group of non-metropolitan municipalities with indigenous lands and the group of other municipalities in the region. The results indicate a reduction in deforestation of approximately 16.1 km2 per municipality between 2004 and 2007. This result represents a reduction of 10,293 km² in deforestation area and a stock of 498 million tons of CO2 during the period. We verify the robustness of the results using placebo tests, analysis of heterogeneous effects, and analysis with the flexibility of the composition of the groups. Robustness tests corroborate the results. The results highlight the importance of remote monitoring policies to control deforestation in isolated regions and indigenous lands.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESEste estudo utiliza o método de pareamento por escore de propensão com ajuste de pesos amostrais para identificar os efeitos da atitude empreendedora dos pais nos anos de escolaridade, probabilidade de estudar em escolas particulares e probabilidade de estudar em universidade (geral, pública e privada) dos filhos. Os microdados utilizados são da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios de 2015. O estudo também apresenta uma série de estratégias de robustez e análise dos efeitos heterogêneos do tratamento. Nossos resultados sugerem que os pais empreendedores estão mais dispostos a matricular seus filhos em escolas particulares. Esses efeitos são maiores quando ambos os pais são empreendedores. Os resultados também indicam que os filhos de pais empreendedores são mais propensos a estudar em universidades, e este efeito é direcionado principalmente para universidades privadas. A análise do efeito do tratamento heterogêneo destaca que o gênero dos filhos e do pai empreendedor impacta na magnitude do tratamento. Artigo 2: Este estudo avalia os efeitos da implementação do PPCDAm no desmatamento observado na Amazônia Legal brasileira. Utilizamos o método de tripla diferença para explorar as diferenças relativas entre o grupo dos municípios não metropolitanos com terras indígenas e grupo dos demais municípios da região. Os resultados indicam uma redução média no incremento do desmatamento de aproximadamente 16,1 km2 por município entre 2004 e 2007. Esse resultado representa uma redução de 10.293 km² no desmatamento e ao estoque de 498 milhões de toneladas de CO2 durante o período.Verificamos a robustez dos resultados realizando os testes de placebo, análise de efeitos heterogêneos e análise com flexibilização da composição dos grupos. Os testes de robustez corroboram os resultados. Os resultados destacam a importância de políticas de monitoramento remoto para o controle do desmatamento em regiões isoladas e em terras indígenas
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

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.
