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
Apport of the wavelet in the univariate and mulrtivariate analysis of long memory process : application to financial data
No full textCette thèse fait appel à la théorie des ondelettes pour estimer le paramètre de mémoire longue dans le cadre stationnaire et non stationnaire lors de la modélisation des séries financières, et pour l'estimation non paramétrique de la copule lors de l'examen de leurs interdépendances. L'avantage de la méthode des ondelettes comparée à l'analyse de Fourier est d'être parfaitement localisée dans le domaine temporel et celui des fréquences.Dans une première étape, nous nous sommes intéressés à la modélisation de la dynamique des séries de variations. À cette fin, nous proposons un modèle économétrique qui permet de tenir compte, en plus de la composante mémoire longue dans la moyenne, une dépendance de long terme dans la variance conditionnelle.D'une part, nous étudions les liens de causalité entre les séries obtenus par décomposition en ondelettes à chaque niveau de résolution. D'autre part, nous nous orientons vers la théorie de cointégration fractionnaire. À cet égard,nous estimons un modèle vectoriel à correction d'erreur dans lequel la vitesse d'ajustement à l'équilibre de long terme est plus lente que la vitesse associée à la cointégration linéaire. L'atout de cette approche est de détecter la présence d'une relation de long terme en plus des fluctuations de court terme et de mettre en œuvre des liens de causalité durables.Dans une deuxième étape, nous proposons une analyse des dépendances multivariées entre les risques financiers et leurs impacts sur les mesures de risques communément rencontrées en gestion des risques. Nous exposons une application de la théorie des copules à l'analyse de la structure des dépendances entre différentes séries financières. Les résultats empiriques obtenus montrent que la structure de dépendance devient accentuée lorsque les séries sont filtrées de l'effet mémoire. Ensuite, nous étudions l'effet du changement de la structure de dépendance dans la frontière d'efficience et dans les mesures du risque sur l'ensemble des portefeuilles optimaux en considérant le modèle moyenne-variance-copules et en élaborant une mesure du risque basée sur l'approche CVaR-copules. Les résultats empiriques prouvent que nous sommes loin des portefeuilles optimaux de Markowitz.Enfin, nous proposons un nouvel estimateur dans le cadre des ondelettes qui constitue une extension de celui de Shimotsu et Phillips (2005, 2010).This thesis uses wavelet theory to estimate the long memory parameter in the stationary and non stationary framework when modeling financial time series, and non parametric estimation of the copula in the examination of their interdependencies. The advantage of the wavelet method compared to the Fourier analysis is to be fully localized in the time domain and that of the frequency. In a first step, we are interested in modeling the dynamics of series of variations. To this end, we propose an econometric model that takes into account, in addition to the long memory component in the mean, a long term dependence in the conditional variance. On the first hand, we study the causal links between the series obtained by wavelet decomposition at each level of resolution. On the second hand, we are moving towards the theory of fractional cointegration. In this regard, we consider a vector error correction model in which the speed of adjustment to the long run equilibrium is slower than the speed associated with the linear cointegration. The advantage of this approach is to detect the presence of a long term relationship in addition to short term fluctuations and implement long run causal links.In a second step, we deal a multivariate analysis of dependencies between risks and their impacts on financial measures of risk commonly used in risk management. We present an application of copula theory to analyze the structure of dependencies between different financial series. The empirical results show that the dependence structure becomes accentuated when the series are filtered from the memory effect. Next, we investigate the effect of changing the structure of dependence in the efficiency frontier and the risk measures on all optimal portfolios considering the mean-variance-copulas model and developing a risk measure based on the CVaR-copula approach. The empirical results show that we are far from optimal portfolios Markowitz . Finally, we propose a new estimator in the wavelet domain which is an extension of the estimator of the Shimotsu and Phillips (2005, 2010)
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.
