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

Customer commitment in online brand communities : an ethnomarketing approach
No full textA l’ère du Web social, et alors qu’émerge le Web 3.0, les communautés virtuelles semblent être devenues une forme de rassemblement social de plus en plus prisée par les internautes. Ces derniers peuvent se regrouper et échanger autour de différents sujets : des transactions, des projets, des pratiques, ou même des marques. Les communautés virtuelles de marque, qu’elles soient administrées par des clients ou bien par des marques, intéressent particulièrement les entreprises qui les perçoivent comme un moyen de réinventer la relation client pour en tirer de nombreux bénéfices. S’inscrivant dans une démarche exploratoire, ce travail de recherche propose de décrypter et d’analyser la structure et l’ensemble des déterminants de l’engagement des clients dans les communautés virtuelles de marque. Pour ce faire, une approche ethnomarketing, s’appuyant sur la méthodologie netnographique, a été mise en oeuvre pour observer huit communautés virtuelles de marque, chacune représentant une catégorie particulière. Ces observations ont permis de collecter des données langagières et non langagières, dont environ 8 000 conversations en ligne publiées au sein de ces communautés. L’analyse des données, notamment textuelles, au travers du logiciel de textométrie IRaMuTeQ et du logiciel Excel semble indiquer une hybridité de l’engagement étudié : l’engagement des clients dans les communautés virtuelles de marque serait déterminé par des facteurs communs à l’engagement des clients et à l’engagement des salariés. Ce résultat, s’il était confirmé, impliquerait pour les entreprises d’effectuer un aggiornamento de leur stratégie marketing et de leur manière d’appréhender leurs clients. En effet, ceux-ci ne seraient plus seulement de simples consommateurs, mais ils seraient également des producteurs d’idées, de connaissances, de savoir-faire et de pratiques. Dès lors, il conviendrait pour les entreprises de manager ces « prosumers », afin d’exploiter pleinement la nouvelle customer lifetime value et d’inscrire la relation client augmentée dans un échange gagnant-gagnant.In the social web era, and as the web 3.0 emerges, online communities seem to have become a kind of social gathering which is increasingly appreciated by the Internet users. They can gather and discuss with one another about many subjects: transactions, projects, practices, or even brands. Whether they are administered by customers or by brands, online brand communities are very interesting for companies which consider it as a mean to renew customer relationship in order to get many advantages. Based on an exploratory approach, this research suggests to decipher and analyze the structure and all the antecedents of customer commitment in online brand communities. For doing this, an ethnomarketing approach, coupled with a netnographic methodology, was implemented to observe eight online brand communities, which one representing a specific category. The observations allowed to collect language and non-language data, including around 8.000 online conversations published in these communities. The data analysis, especially text-based, through the IRaMuTeQ textometry software and the Excel software, seems to demonstrate a hybridity of the studied commitment: customer commitment in online brand communities would be determined by antecedents which are shared by customer commitment and by employee commitment. If it was confirmed, this finding would involve that companies have to renew their marketing strategy and their way of dealing with customers. Indeed, these ones would be no longer simple consumers, but would be producers of ideas, knowledge, know-how and practices too. As a result, companies would be obliged to manage these « prosumers » in order to fully make the most of the new customer lifetime value and put the augmented customer relationship into a win-win exchange
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.
