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
The Timar Sistem
No full textOsmansko Carstvo, pa tako i sami timarski sustav koji se obrađuje u ovom završnom radu je veoma zanimljiv. Najbolje početi od krize koja je bila nakon srednjeg vijeka. Osmanlije su doživjele velike poraze kod Ankare koji su vrlo lako mogli uzrokovati potpun raspad, ali u prvoj polovici petnaestog stoljeća stvorila se prilika da Osmanlije obnove nekada velik položaj. Sve to je započelo osvajanjem velikog Carigrada 1453. godine. Tadašnji vladar Bajazid I. je time ostvario svoj osvajački cilj. Nadalje što se tiče samog uspona, Osmansko Carstvo je imalo zaista težak početak zbog kriza, ratova, ali su događaji nakon 1402. godine toliko čvrsto uspostavili nadmoć Osmanlija nad ostalim kneževinama da su one tijekom sljedećih tridesetak godina postale osmanski vazali. Ključni je događaj bio uspostavljanje osmanskih uporišta na Balkanu, s izgledima neograničenog širenja prema zapadu. Početni prelazak iz Anatolije u Europu bio je težak budući da su Dardaneli bili u kršćanskim rukama. Mnogo osoba je utjecalo na razvitak i postojanje Osmanskog Carstva, bilo ih je zaista mnogo. Osobe koje su bitno utjecale na razvitak i uspješan tijek Carstva bile su: Mehmed II. Osvajač, Selim I., Sulejman I. Veličanstveni. Što se tiče upravnog dijela Carstva postojala je središnja uprava. Središnja uprava zvala se Carsko vijeće, izvorno. U tadašnjoj osmanskoj državi, središnja uprava je bila glavna djelatnost. Iako je veliki divan bio prije osmanskoga. On se sastajao povremeno da bi razmotrio tužbe naroda i donio pozitivna rješenja, u pravilu najviši sud, ali i glavni izvor sudstva. Saslušanje u pravilu izgledalo tako da je sultan u rano jutarnje doba jednu široku i uzdignutu sofu, dok bi ljudi bili na udaljenosti s koje su mogli vidjeti sultana. Naposljetku što se tiče samog Timarskog sustava. U ambiciji da se stabilizira sustav timara i održava neprekidnu kontrolu, skup najviših ljudi po položaju morali su definirati vrste zarade u regijama i sastaviti liste koji će pokazati razdiobu zarada.The Ottoman Empire, as well as the timar system itself, which is covered in this final paper, is very interesting. It is the best to start with the crisis that was after the middle ages. The Ottomans suffered great defeats near Ankara, which could easily have caused a complete collapse, but in the first 50 years after the 1500., an opportunity arose for the Ottomans to restore their once great position. It all began with conquest of great Constantinople 1453. Then ruler Bayazid I thus achieved his goal of conquest. Furthermore, regarding the rise itself, the Ottoman Empire had a really difficult beginning due to crises and wars, but the events after 1402. so firmly established the supremacy of the Ottomans over the other principalities that they became Ottoman vassals during the next thirty years. The key event was the establishment of Ottoman strongholds in the Balkans, with the prospect of unlimited westward expansion. The initial transition from Anatolia to Europe was difficult since the Dardanelles were in Christian hands. Many people influenced the development and existence of the Ottoman Empire, there were really many of them. People who significantly influenced the development and successful course of the Empire were: Mehmed II. Conqueror, Selim I., Suleiman I. Magnificent. As for the administrative part of the Empire, there was a central administration. The central administration was called the Imperial Council, originally. In the Middle Eastern country, it was considered the most important activity of the government. Although the great divan was before the Ottoman divan. the sultan met periodically to hear people's complaints and correct injustices, usually the supreme court, but also the highest authority. As a rule, the hearing looked like the sultan in the early morning on a wide and elevated sofa, while people would be at a distance from which they could see the sultan. Finally, what concerns the Timar system itself. For the sake of timar system and keep it constant with high supervision, people with the highest pole positons needed to define all the origins of income in regions and assemble lists that would show the distribution of the sources
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.
