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
Áhrifarík fyrstu kynni af venslavitverum
No full textVenslavitverur eru sýndarmanneskjur sem nýta tal og látbragð í samskiptum við fólk, augliti til auglitis, til að mynda varanleg tengsl. Sýnt hefur verið fram á að slík tengsl við notendur hugbúnaðar á sviði kennslu, þjálfunar eða afþreyingar, getur bætt áhrif hugbúnaðarins á notandann. Það er því mikilvægt að notendur hafni ekki vitverunni við fyrstu kynni og missi þar með af ávinningi tengslanna. Þess vegna er nauðsynlegt að veran komi vel fyrir strax í upphafi. Þessi ritgerð lýsir fræðilegum grunni sem nýtist til að greina og gera líkan af áhrifum látbragðs á þá mynd sem notendur
gera sér af vitverunni, og þar með hvernig vitveran getur best beitt þeirri tjáningu til að tryggja að á komist gott samband. Sérstök áhersla er lögð á látbragð sem gefur í skyn ákveðinn persónuleika og viðhorf gagnvart viðmælanda.
Fyrst lýsir ritgerðin því hvernig fræðin taka á þessu þegar aðeins manneskjur eiga í hlut. Síðan greinir ritgerðin frá rannsókn sem sýnir hvernig líkamleg nálegð vitveru hefur áhrif á mat notanda á persónleika hennar og hvernig bros og augnaráð verunnar hefur áhrif á mat notanda á viðhorfi hennar
til hans. Jafnframt sýnir ritgerðin að metið viðhorf hefur meiri áhrif en metinn persónuleiki á það hversu miklum tíma notandi er tilbúinn að eyða með vitverunni. Þessar niðurstöður eru útfærðar í reiknilíkani sem fellur að hinni alþjóðlegu SAIBA aðferð við myndun marghátta samksiptahegðunar
hjá vitverum. Líkanið framkallar sjálfvirk alla líkamstjáningu vitverunar þegar hún og notandinn heilsast. Líkamstjáningin þjónar bæði athöfninni að heilsast og því að koma ákveðnum persónuleika og viðhorfi til skila.
Samskiptamarkmið vitverunnar eru sett fram á "Functional Markup Language" málinu, sem er SAIBA staðall í þróun. Með þessu leggur ritgerðin til nákvæma greiningu og tillögu að fyrstu heildarútgáfu staðalsins. Að lokum lýsir ritgerðin notkun líkansins í gagnvirku þrívíddar kennsluumhverfi ásamt
því að fjalla um næstu skref verkefnisins og áhrif þess á frekari rannsóknir á sviðinu.Relational Agents (RAs) are virtual anthropomorphic characters able to engage in multimodal (i.e. using both verbal and nonverbal behavior) face-toface interactions with users in real-time. RAs are also capable of establishing and maintaining a long-term relationship with the user, which has been
shown to improve task outcomes in application domains such as education, coaching and entertainment. In all of these applications, it is crucial that users do not outright reject the agent after the initial moments of interaction, therefore first impressions become important. This thesis presents a theoretical framework for analyzing and modeling human nonverbal behavior for managing impressions, and how RAs can exploit this in their first encounters with human users. The focus is on nonverbal behavior (smile, gaze and proxemics) aimed at exhibiting personality and interpersonal attitudes. First the thesis describes the theoretical background of nonverbal communicative behavior in the context of first impressions among humans. It then presents a theoretical framework demonstrating that impressions of an agent’s personality are quickly formed by users based on proxemics, whereas interpersonal attitude is conveyed through smiles and gaze behavior. The thesis furthermore demonstrates that interpersonal attitude has greater impact than personality
on a user’s decision to spend time with the agent. The design and implementation of a SAIBA compliant computational solution built on this framework is presented. This solution automates the real-time generation of nonverbal behavior for an RA during a greeting encounter. The multimodal behavior exhibited accomplishes both to serve the communicative functions
associated with greetings as well as managing impressions of personality and interpersonal attitude towards the user. The agent’s communicative functions are represented in Function Markup Language, an emerging SAIBA standard, which this thesis furthers through a detailed design specification and
concrete language proposal. Finally, a practical application in the context of a 3D Virtual Learning Environment is demonstrated and the impact and further developments of this thesis discussed.Center for Analysis and Design of Intelligent Agents (CADIA)

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.
