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
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

Les stratégies et les facteurs facilitants pour l'intégration et la réussite des étudiants internationaux aux études supérieures : une revue intégrative des écrits
Full text linkAvec un nombre croissant d'étudiants internationaux à travers le monde, des facteurs facilitants leur intégration et des stratégies de succès doivent être explorés pour faire face aux défis auxquels cette population est confrontée. Plusieurs études antérieures ont évoqué ce sujet. Toutefois, malgré la pertinence des résultats de ces écrits scientifiques, il subsiste un manque de consensus en ce qui a trait aux solutions et stratégies facilitant l’intégration et la réussite des étudiants internationaux. Pour apporter pierre à cet édifice, cette étude vise à identifier les solutions et les stratégies envisageables pour faciliter l'intégration et la réussite des étudiants internationaux aux études supérieures dont ceux en sciences infirmières. Une revue intégrative selon l’approche de Whittemore et Knafl (2005) a été conçue en suivant les cinq étapes, à savoir ; 1) l’identification du problème; 2) la recension des écrits; 3) l’évaluation des données; 4) l’analyse des données; et 5) la présentation des résultats. Vingt-deux articles ont été retenus. L’analyse et l’interprétation des résultats ont été élaboré en s’appuyant sur le cadre théorique de 4 Systems de Schlossberg. Ainsi, quatre grands groupes de facteurs ont été émergés. Le premier groupe renvoie aux facteurs contextuels et aux ressources qui étaient en disposition en moment de la transition. Le deuxième groupe est associé aux caractéristiques personnelles telles que les traits de personnalité, entre autres, l’intelligence émotionnelle, la confiance en soi et les compétences linguistiques. Le troisième groupe évoque les différents types de soutien notamment, le soutien familial, le réseau d’amis et le mentorat. Le dernier groupe est en lien avec les stratégies d’adaptation pour assurer une meilleure transition des étudiants internationaux, notamment en lien avec la mise en place d’une pédagogie inclusive et d’autres stratégies pour réduire le stress. À la lumière des résultats de cette revue intégrative, des recommandations pour la recherche, les politiques universitaires et la formation académique ont été présentées en mettant de l’avant l’importance de créer des opportunités d'apprentissage inclusives et ouvertes, et ce, dans le but de mobiliser les parties intéressées à agir en faveur des étudiants internationaux.With a growing number of international students worldwide, factors facilitating their integration and strategies for success need to be explored to meet the challenges faced by this population. Several previous studies have touched on this subject. However, despite the relevance of the results of these scientific writings, there remains a lack of consensus regarding solutions and strategies to facilitate the integration and success of international students. To contribute to this, this study aims to identify possible solutions and strategies to facilitate the integration and success of international students in higher education, including nursing. An integrative review based on Whittemore and Knafl's (2005) approach was designed, following five steps: 1) problem identification; 2) literature review; 3) data assessment; 4) data analysis; and 5) presentation of results. Twenty-two articles were selected. The analysis and interpretation of results were based on Schlossberg's 4 Systems theoretical framework. Four main groups of factors were identified. The first group refers to contextual factors and the resources available at the time of transition. The second group is associated with personal characteristics such as personality traits, including emotional intelligence, self-confidence, and language skills. The third group refers to different types of support, including family support, friends, and mentoring. The last group relates to coping strategies to ensure a better transition for international students, including the implementation of inclusive pedagogy and other strategies to reduce stress. Considering the results of this integrative review, recommendations for research, university policy and academic training were presented, highlighting the importance of creating inclusive and open learning opportunities, with the aim of mobilizing stakeholders to act on behalf of international student
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.
