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
Automatisierungspotenzial von Stadtbiotopkartierungen durch Methoden der Fernerkundung
Full text linkDie Stadtbiotopkartierung hat sich in Deutschland als die Methode zur Schaffung einer ökologischen Datenbasis für den urbanen Raum etabliert. Sie dient der Untersuchung naturschutzfachlicher Fragen, der Vertretung der Belange des Naturschutzes in zahlreichen räumlichen Planungsverfahren und ganz allgemein einer ökologisch orientierten Stadtplanung. Auf diese Weise kommen die Städte ihrem gesetzlichen Auftrag nach, Natur und Landschaft zu schützen, zu pflegen und zu entwickeln (§ 1 BNatSchG), den es explizit auch innerhalb der besiedelten Fläche zu erfüllen gilt. Ein Großteil der heute bestehenden 228 Stadtbiotoptypenkarten ist in der Etablierungsphase der Methode in den 80er Jahren entstanden und wurde häufig durch Landesmittel gefördert. Der Anteil der Städte, die jemals eine Aktualisierung durchgeführt haben, wird jedoch auf unter fünf Prozent geschätzt. Dies hängt vor allem mit dem hohen Kosten- und Zeitaufwand der Datenerhebung zusammen, die durch visuelle Interpretation von CIR-Luftbildern und durch Feldkartierungen erfolgt. Um die Aktualisierung von Stadtbiotoptypenkarten zu vereinfachen, wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit das Automatisierungspotenzial von Stadtbiotopkartierungen durch Nutzung von Fernerkundungsdaten untersucht. Der Kern der Arbeit besteht in der Entwicklung einer Methode, die einen wichtigen Arbeitsschritt der Stadtbiotopkartierung automatisiert durchführt: Die Erkennung des Biotoptyps von Biotopen. Darüber hinaus zeigt die Arbeit das Automatisierungspotenzial bei der flächenhaften Erhebung von quantitativen Parametern und Indikatoren zur ökologischen Bewertung von Stadtbiotopen auf. Durch die automatische Biotoptypenerkennung kann die Überprüfung und Aktualisierung einer Biotoptypenkarte in weiten Teilen der Stadt automatisiert erfolgen, wodurch der Zeitaufwand reduziert wird. Das entwickelte Verfahren kann in den bestehenden Ablauf der Stadtbiotopkartierung integriert werden, indem zunächst die Kartierung ausgewählter Biotoptypen automatisch erfolgt und die verbleibenden Flächen der Stadt durch visuelle Luftbildinterpretation und Feldbegehung überprüft und zugeordnet werden. Die thematische Einteilung der Biotoptypen orientiert sich im urbanen Raum in erster Linie an der anthropogenen Nutzung, da diese den dominierenden Faktor für die biologische Ausstattung der Biotope darstellt. Die entwickelte Methode eignet sich vor allem zur Erkennung von baulich geprägten Biotopen, da die Nutzung - und dadurch der Biotoptyp einer Fläche - durch eine automatische Analyse der Geoobjekte innerhalb der Biotopfläche ermittelt werden kann. Die Geoobjekte wiederum können durch eine Klassifizierung von multisensoralen Fernerkundungsdaten (hyperspektrale Flugzeugscannerdaten und digitale Oberflächenmodelle) identifiziert werden. Die Analyse der Geoobjekte und der urbanen Oberflächenarten innerhalb der Biotopfläche erfolgt anhand von räumlichen, morphologischen und quantitativen Merkmalen. Auf Basis dieser Merkmale wurden zwei Varianten eines automatischen Biotopklassifizierers entwickelt, die unter Verwendung von Fuzzy Logik und eines neu entwickelten, paarweise arbeitenden Maximum Likelihood Klassifizierers (pMLK) implementiert wurden. Für die bisher implementierten 10 Biotoptypen, die zusammen etwa die Hälfte des Stadtgebiets abdecken, wurde eine Erkennungsgenauigkeit von über 80 % ermittelt. Der pMLK wurde erfolgreich in zwei Städten (Berlin, Dresden) erprobt, wodurch seine Übertragbarkeit nachgewiesen werden konnte
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.
