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
Modélisation et observation de la poussière et des étoiles dans le premier Gyr de l'univers
No full textMa thèse utilise des données multi-longueurs d'onde pour les galaxies lointaines (à haut redshift). Ella a comme objectif d'estimer les paramètres de ces galaxies par l'ajustement de distributions spectrales d'énergie (SED) principalement concernant la poussière cosmique. On relie l'atténuation de la poussière à la masse stellaire des galaxies, et à son évolution avec le redshift. Les données d'atténuation de la poussière par rapport à la masse stellaire, séparées par domaine de redshift, ont été modélisées par une fonction linéaire à paramètre unique, en supposant une atténuation de poussière apparente constante non nulle pour les galaxies de faible masse. Ce paramètre est utilisé pour étudier l'évolution avec le redshift de l'atténuation de la poussière cosmique. Ce travail met en évidence une évolution en redshift de la relation atténuation des poussières-masse stellaire.Nous poursuivons les travaux de Burgarella et al. (2020) sur l'échantillon de galaxies ALPINE, qui fournit une mesure de la raie [CII]158um de 4,5 < z < 6,5 galaxies. Nous effectuons un ajustement des SEDs sur ALPINE avec CIGALE, et en utilisant les résultats de l'ajustement des SEDs, nous étendons les résultats de Burgarella et al. sur plusieurs diagrammes diagnostiques clés, qui seront utilisés pour étudier l'évolution des galaxies et l'accumulation de poussière à travers les temps cosmiques. Enfin, nous mentionnons la possibilité de créer des catalogues mock réalistes de galaxies. Nous prévoyons de continuer à travailler avec des modèles d'évolution chimique, de la même manière que Nanni et al. (2020) et de réaliser des observations avec ALMA et NOEMAMy thesis uses multi-wavelength data of distant (high-redshift) galaxies, combining the galaxy parameters estimated by SED fitting with the study of cosmic dust. It relates the dust attenuation to the stellar mass of star-forming galaxies and its evolution with redshift. The dust attenuation vs stellar mass data, separated in redshift bins, was modelled by a single parameter linear function, assuming a nonzero constant apparent dust attenuation for low mass galaxies. The best-fitting parameter of this model is used to study the redshift evolution of the cosmic dust attenuation and agrees with results from the literature. This work also gives evidence to a redshift evolution of the dust attenuation-stellar mass relationship, as is suggested by recent works in the highest redshift range. We continue the work of Burgarella et al. (2020) using similar methods on the ALPINE galaxy sample, which provides a measurement of the [CII]158um line of 4.5 < z < 6.5 galaxies. We perform SED fitting on the ALPINE galaxies with CIGALE, aiming to determine the galaxy parameters. Using the results of the SED fitting, we extend the results of Burgarella et al. on several key diagnostic diagrams to study the evolution of galaxies and the buildup of dust through cosmic times.Finally, we mention the possibility of extending the work of our first paper to create realistic mock catalogues of galaxies. Next, we plan to continue working with chemical evolution models, similarly to Nanni et al. (2020). We also plan to continue working with early-Universe galaxies, so more observations with ALMA are expected, and further continuation of our current projects on new datasets is anticipate

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.
