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

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.

Parentalité, normes et politiques publiques : Trois essais en économie du genre
No full textAu cours du XXe siècle, la place des femmes dans l’économie occidentale a connu de profonds changements. Cependant, d’importants écarts liés au genre persistent aujourd’hui sur le marché du travail et d’autant plus dans la sphèredomestique. Cette thèse propose un éclairage sur ces inégalités avec trois analyses empiriques. Le premier chapitremontre que la parentalité constitue un facteur aggravant de l’inégale répartition des tâches au sein du couple en Allemagne. Après la première naissance, les femmes réallouent du temps de travail sur le marché au profit de tâchesnon-rémunérées alors que l’allocation du temps des pères reste pratiquement inchangée. Au-delà de l’entrée dans laparentalité, le nombre d’enfants intensifie également ces écarts pré-existants. Les femmes déclarent une baisse desatisfaction avec les tâches non-rémunérées de moindre ampleur par rapport aux hommes alors qu’elles portent majoritairement la charge domestique. Ce résultat illustre ainsi un ancrage profond des normes de genre au sein du couple. Ledeuxième chapitre évalue l’effet de l’entrée à l’école pré-élémentaire sur l’offre de travail des mères dans une perspectivecomparative entre pays européens. Les résultats de cette analyse montrent que les programmes éducatifs précocesreprésentent un levier efficace au travail des mères dans les pays où les normes de genre conservatrices dominentainsi que dans les pays où la part des dépenses publiques allouée à l’offre de modes de garde intervenant avant l’écolepré-élémentaire est plus faible. Le troisième chapitre s’intéresse à la transmission inter-générationnelle des normes degenre et son implication à long terme dans les écarts de santé cognitive entre les femmes et les hommes. Parmi lesindividus âgés d’au moins 50 ans en Europe, la transmission de normes de genre traditionnelles affecte négativementle fonctionnement cognitif des femmes par rapport aux hommes. Ce résultat s’explique au moins partiellement par desdifférences de parcours professionnel. Les résultats avancés dans cette thèse appuient la nécessité de l’interventionpublique dans la réduction de ces inégalités, tant par une offre de mode de garde accessible et abordable afin d’annihilerla contribution de la parentalité aux inégalités femme-homme que dans l’évolution des normes de genre qui, aujourd’huiencore, empêchent la convergence des femmes et des hommes dans le paysage économique.Throughout the 20th century, women’s role in the Western economy underwent profound changes. However, significantgender gaps persist nowadays on the labour market and even more in the domestic sphere. This thesis sheds lighton these inequalities with three empirical analyses. The first chapter shows that parenthood emphasizes the unequaldivision of tasks at the couple level in Germany. After the first birth, women reallocate market working time to unpaidtasks while the allocation of fathers’ time remains virtually unchanged. Beyond entry into parenthood, the number ofchildren also intensifies these pre-existing gaps. By exploring the effect of parenthood on parental well-being, this chaptershows that women report a lower drop in satisfaction with unpaid tasks than men after the first birth, even though theybear the major load of domestic work. This result thus illustrates a deep ingraining of gender norms at the couple level.The second chapter evaluates the effect of pre-school enrollment on maternal labour supply in a comparative perspectivebetween European countries. The results of this analysis show that early education programs represent an effectiveleverage for mothers’ labour force in countries where gender norms are more conservative as well as in countries wherethe share of public expenditure allocated to early childcare provision is lower. The third chapter focuses on the intergenerational transmission of gender norms and its long-term implication in cognitive health gaps between women andmen. Among individuals aged at least 50 in Europe, the transmission of traditional gender norms negatively affects thecognitive functioning of women relatively to men. This result is at least partially explained by differences in professionaltrajectories over the life course. The results put forward in this thesis support the need for public intervention in reducingthese inequalities, both through the provision of accessible and affordable childcare in order to eliminate the contributionof parenthood to gender inequalities and through the evolution of gender norms which still prevent the convergence ofwomen and men in the economic landscape
