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
Architectural detail tectonics and its didactics in the project workshop
Get PDFWe live in an online world. Everything is immediate, visual. The images replace the reality they represent. Mc Luhan's old proclamations now crystallize on the facades of buildings, which become physically interactive visual supports: the medium is the message and the matter, the image. During the last decades, we have been able to verify an overvaluation of visual culture, which has led to scenographic excesses in architectural works considered paradigmatic. This overvaluation has moved its point of attention away from the physical, ontological value, displacing the constructive logic for the logic of the image and the media appearance.\nArchitecture schools have not been immune to this overvaluation of visual culture. The reality, in our country, indicates that, thanks to a teaching model that has been in charge of separating the project strategies from the knowledge of the material and technical field, a lack of integration has been generated between these two fields of knowledge, which has led to the need to requalify and refine the relationships established between them. In this context, it is necessary to reorient our practice, and the way of teaching, towards the construction of a material culture of the architecture project.\nThe overall ensemble of the architectural work is closely integrated to the details, its design and its quality. Understood in this way, the detail affects the spatial and general values of the whole. Within the process of materialization of an idea, the importance of architectural detail, with its different approaches and material discourses, is essential, as long as the type of architecture to be made is clear, that is, not as the consequence of a resolution eminently technical, but as a consequence of the integration between the projectual and technical-material fields.\nThis doctoral thesis proposes a didactics for the project workshop that, in parallel to the development of the consecrated categories of the project process, incorporates a series of new dimensions that challenge, in stages, the material condition during the project process. This thesis supports the importance of considering the architectural detail as an integrating space of the project, material, technical and construction aspects and thus recovering its value within the realization of the shape-shaping procedure in its various versions, from classical composition, experimentation and project research. This recovery and enhancement of the tectonics of the architectural detail will collaborate with the recovery of a material culture of the architectural project, which makes it possible to give meaning to the action and contextualize its transformation process.Fil: Busnelli, Roberto Rafael. Universidad de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo. Buenos Aires, ArgentinaVivimos en un mundo on-line. Todo es inmediato, visual. Las imágenes suplen a la realidad que representan. Las viejas proclamas de Mc Luhan cristalizan ahora en las fachadas de los edificios, que se convierten físicamente en soportes visuales interactivos: el medio es el mensaje y la materia, imagen. Durante las últimas décadas, hemos podido comprobar una sobrevalorización de la cultura visual, que ha llevado a excesos escenográficos en obras de arquitectura consideradas paradigmáticas. Esta sobrevalorización ha trasladado su punto de atención fuera del valor físico, ontológico, desplazando la lógica constructiva por la lógica de la imagen y de la apariencia mediática.\nLas escuelas de arquitectura no han sido ajenas a esta sobrevalorización de la cultura visual. La realidad, en nuestro país, indica que, gracias a un modelo de enseñanza que se ha encargado de separar las estrategias proyectuales de los conocimientos del campo material y técnico, se ha generado una falta de integración entre estos dos campos del conocimiento, que ha llevado a la necesidad de recalificar y volver a precisar las relaciones que se establecen entre ellos. En este contexto es necesario reorientar nuestra práctica, y la forma de enseñar, hacia la construcción de una cultura material del proyecto de arquitectura.\nEl conjunto global de la obra arquitectónica está estrechamente integrado a los detalles, a su diseño y a su cualidad. Comprendido de esta manera, el detalle incide sobre los valores espaciales y generales del conjunto. Dentro del proceso de materialización de una idea, la importancia del detalle arquitectónico, con sus distintos abordajes y discursos materiales, es esencial, en tanto se tenga claro el tipo de arquitectura que se quiere hacer, es decir, no como la consecuencia de una resolución eminentemente técnica, sino como consecuencia de la integración entre los campos proyectuales y el técnico-material.\nEsta tesis doctoral propone una didáctica para el taller de proyecto que, paralelamente al desarrollo de las categorías consagradas del proceso proyectual, incorpore una serie de nuevas dimensiones que interpelen, por etapas, la condición material durante el proceso proyectual. Esta tesis sostiene la importancia de considerar al detalle de arquitectura como un espacio integrador de los aspectos proyectuales, materiales, técnicos y constructivos y recuperar, de esta forma, su valor dentro de la realización del procedimiento configurador de la forma en sus variadas versiones, desde la composición clásica, la experimentación y la investigación proyectual. Esta recuperación y puesta en valor de la tectónica del detalle arquitectónico colaborará con la recuperación de una cultura material del proyecto arquitectónico, que permita darle sentido a la acción y contextualizar su proceso de transformación.Doctor de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, Área Arquitectur
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

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.
