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
The relationship between emotional labor behavior and burnout levels of healthcare workers and the moderating role of self-esteem: An application in Şanlıurfa province
No full textSağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Sağlık Yönetimi Ana Bilim DalıBu çalışmada çalışanların duygusal emek davranışlarının (yüzeysel rol yapma, derinden rol yapma ve doğal duygular), tükenmişliğe etkisi ve benlik saygısının bu süreçteki rolü araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini Şanlıurfa'da bir kamu hastanesinde çalışan 272 sağlık personeli oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma nicel yöntem tercih edilerek veriler anket yoluyla toplanmıştır. Araştırma değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkiler için korelasyon analizi yapılmıştır. Korelasyon analizi sonucunda duygusal emek alt boyutlarından yüzeysel rol yapma ile tükenmişlik arasında anlamlı pozitif, doğal duygular ile ise negatif anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. Yüzeysel rol yapma ile benlik saygısı arasında pozitif, doğal duygularla benlik saygısı arasında ise negatif yönde anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Benlik saygısı ve tükenmişlik arasında negatif anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma hipotezlerinin testi için hiyerarşik regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Regresyon analizi sonucunda duygusal emek alt boyutlarından yüzeysel rol yapma ile doğal duyguların tükenmişliği etkilediği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Derinden rol yapmanın tükenmişliği etkilemediği görülmüştür. Yüzeysel rol yapma ile doğal duyguların tükenmişliği etkilemesinde benlik saygısının düzenleyicilik rolü araştırılmıştır. Düşük, orta ve yüksek benlik saygısının düzenleyici rolünü tespit etmek amacıyla Hayes process makro eklentisi (Model 1) kullanılmıştır. Yüzeysel rol yapma ile düzenleyici değişken olan yüksek, orta ve düşük benlik saygısının çarpılmasıyla elde edilen etkileşimsel terimlerin anlamlı çıkması bu değişkenlerin tükenmişlik üzerinde etkileşimsel etkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu sonuç yüzeysel rol yapmanın tükenmişliği etkilemesinde benlik saygısının farklı düzeylerinin düzenleyici rolünün bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Doğal duygular ile düzenleyici değişken olan yüksek, orta ve düşük benlik saygısının çarpılmasıyla elde edilen etkileşimsel terimlerin anlamlı çıkmaması bu değişkenlerin tükenmişlik üzerinde etkileşimsel etkisinin çıkmadığı dolayısıyla düzenleyicilik rolününde olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca araştırmada sağlık çalışanlarının tükenmişlik düzeylerinin yaşa ve unvana göre farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular Kaynakların Korunması Teorisi ve mevcut literatür kapsamına tartışılmıştır.In this study, the effect of employees' emotional labor behaviors (surface acting, deep acting and natural emotions) on burnout and the role of self-esteem in this process were investigated. The sample of the study consists of 272 healthcare personnel working in a public hospital in Şanlıurfa. The study preferred the quantitative method and collected data through a survey. Correlation analysis was performed for the relationships between research variables. As a result of the correlation analysis, a significant positive relationship was found between superficial acting and burnout, which are among the emotional labor sub-dimensions, and a negative significant relationship was found with natural emotions. A positive relationship was found between surface acting and self-esteem, and a negative significant relationship was found between natural emotions and self-esteem. A negative significant relationship was found between self-esteem and burnout. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to test the research hypotheses. As a result of the regression analysis, it was found that superficial acting and natural emotions, which are sub-dimensions of emotional labor, affect burnout. It has been shown that deep acting does not affect burnout. The moderating role of self-esteem in the effect of surface acting and natural emotions on burnout has been investigated. The Hayes process macro plugin (Model 1) was used to determine the moderating role of low, medium and high self-esteem. The interactional terms obtained by multiplying surface acting and the moderator variable high, medium and low self-esteem are significant, indicating that these variables have an interactional effect on burnout. This result shows that different levels of self-esteem have a regulatory role in the effect of surface acting on burnout. Since the interaction terms obtained by multiplying natural emotions and the moderator variable high, medium and low self-esteem were not found to be significant, it was concluded that these variables did not have an interaction effect on burnout and therefore did not have a regulatory role. In addition, the study found that the burnout levels of healthcare professionals differ according to age and title. The findings were discussed within the context of Resource Conservation Theory and existing literatüre

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.
