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
Gender, Technik und Innovation – ein weißer Fleck im Technikjournalismus
Get PDFAktuell wird in der Entwicklung von Projekten und Lösungen im Kontext von Digitalisierung und Künstlicher Intelligenz die zu geringe Anzahl von Entwicklerinnen und damit die fehlende Perspektive des Technofeminism (Anders 2022; Thaler 2022) kritisiert. Wissenschaftliche und populärwissenschaftliche Publikationen weisen auf Fehlentwicklungen von Technologien hin, die durch Außerachtlassen anatomischer Unterschiede von Frauen oder monokausalen Ausrichtung an patriarchalen Mustern und Strukturen entstehen. Humanmedizin, Sicherheitstechnik in Kraftfahrzeugen oder Mobilitätskonzepte sind als Felder zu nennen (vgl. Criado‐Perez 2020; Marçal 2022). Das interdisziplinäre Forschungsprojekt Gender, Innovation und Technikjournalismus GITJOU betrachtet die Rolle von Medien, Journalismus und Journalist:innen als Intermediäre im F&I‐Diskurs unter der Fragestellung der Gendersensibilität und deren impliziten und expliziten Wirkung auf Technikrezeption, Technikgestaltung und gesellschaftlichen Technikdiskurs. Medien und Journalismus sind als Intermediäre wesentlich an der Wahrnehmung von Technologien (Kohring 2001), der diskursiven Entwicklung von Technologiefeldern (Schaper‐Rinkel 2010) oder sozialen Konstruktion von Technologiemärkten (Banholzer2018) sowie als policy broker (Donges & Gerner 2019) im Kontext von Technologievermittlung oder der Aushandlung von gesellschaftlichen Technikkonflikten (Feindt & Saretzki 2010) beteiligt. Vor diesem Hintergrund erscheint die Diskussion um geschlechter-diskriminierende Technologieentwicklungen (Leicht‐Scholten & Bouffier 2020) und die Kritik an der noch rudimentären Bezugsgröße Geschlecht in der Technikentwicklung (Joost, Bessing & Buchmüller 2010, S. 15) oder die Bedeutung gesellschaftlicher Geschlechternormen im Zusammenwirken mit vorherrschenden Technikbildern für die Berufswahl von Frauen (Schmeck 2019) auch für die technik‐ und wissenschaftsjournalistische Praxis und Theorie relevant. Eine explorative Recherche des Studiengangs Technikjournalismus / Technik‐PR aus dem Sommersemester 2020 weist auf ein Desiderat hin, das sowohl die theoretische Reflexion, die journalistische Praxis als auch die hochschulbasierende und die redaktionsgebundene (Fach)Journalismus‐Ausbildung umfasst. Das wachsende gesellschaftliche, politische und ingenieurwissenschaftliche Bewusstsein für gendergerechte Technologieentwicklung muss sich auch bei den beteiligten Intermediären verankern. Das hier skizzierte Forschungsprojekt setzt an diesem Desiderat an, strebt eine Erhebung des Status quo der wissenschaftlichen Bearbeitung dieses Themas in der Journalismus-forschung an und will Anschluss-fähigkeiten an Forschungsgebiete der Science & Technology Studies (STS), der Technikfolgenabschätzung (TFA) und der Demokratietheorie ausleuchten. Zudem wird der Grad des Problembewusstseins in Redaktionen, bei Journalist:innen und an Stätten der Journalismusausbildung erhoben. Das Ziel des Forschungsprojektes ist, neben dem Schließen von wissenschaftlichen Desideraten auch Anleitungen für die praktische und hochschulbasierte Ausbildung im Technik‐ und Wissenschaftsjournalismus zu generieren sowie diese auch für Unternehmens‐ und Organisationskommunikation
von Forschungs‐ und Wissenschaftseinrichtungen oder Technologie-unternehmen nutzbar zu machen.Currently, the development of projects and solutions in the context of digitalization and artificial intelligence is criticized for the insufficient number of female developers and thus for the lack of perspective of technofeminism (Anders 2022; Thaler 2022). Scientific and popular scientific publications point to misdevelopments of technologies that result from disregarding anatomical differences of women or monocausal orientation towards patriarchal patterns and structures. Human medicine, safety technology in motor vehicles or mobility concepts are to be mentioned as fields(cf. Criado‐Perez 2020; Marçal 2022). The interdisciplinary research project „Gender, Innovation and Technology Journalism GITJOU“ considers the role of media, journalism and journalists as intermediaries in the R&I discourse under the question of gender sensitivity and its implicit and explicit effect on technology reception, technology design and technology discourses in societies. As intermediaries media and journalism are significantly involved in the perception of technologies (Kohring 2001), the discursive development of technology fields (Schaper‐Rinkel 2010) or social construction of technology markets (Banholzer 2018), and as policy brokers (Donges & Gerner 2019) in the context of technology mediation or the negotiation of societal technology conflicts (Feindt & Saretzki 2010). Against this background, the discussion about gender‐discriminatory technology developments (Leicht‐Scholten & Bouffier 2020) and the criticism of the still rudimentary reference variable gender in technology development (Joost, Bessing & Buchmüller 2010, 15) or the importance of societal gender norms in interaction with prevailing images of technology for women's career choices (Schmeck 2019) also seem relevant for technology and science journalistic practice and theory. Exploratory research of the Technology Journalism / Technology PR course from the summer semester 2020 points to a desideratum that encompasses theoretical reflection, journalistic practice, as well as university‐based and practical journalism education. The growing social, political, and engineering awareness of gender‐responsive technology development must also be embodied in the intermediaries involved. The research project outlined here addresses this desideratum, aims to survey the status quo of scientific treatment of this topic in journalism research, and seeks to illuminate connectivity with research areas in Science & Technology Studies (STS), technology assessment (TA), and democratic theory. In addition, the degree of problem awareness in editorial offices, among journalists and at journalism training centers will be surveyed. The aim of the research project is not only to close scientific desiderata but also to generate instructions for practical and university‐based training in technology and science journalism as well as to make them usable for corporate and organizational communication of research and science institutions or technology companies

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.
