    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    Gobierno de TI utilizando COBIT 2019 para la mejora de su gestión en la empresa Inversiones TMSI E.I.R.L. – año 2022

    Actualmente, dentro del contexto TI, podemos decir que ya no solo es necesario estar actualizados con la tecnología, sino también lograr tener una estructura orientada a buenas prácticas y poder obtener una ventaja competitiva, Todas las empresas a la medida que empiezan a crecer, comienzan a adquirir más riesgos al gestionar sus procesos internos o sus incidencias, originando la mayoría de veces los retrasos en la producción y/o atención a sus clientes. Tal es el caso de la empresa Inversiones Teonila Maura Sánchez Iparraguirre E.I.R.L (TMSI), una empresa dedicada a la extracción minera y transporte por carretera desde el año 2012, donde actualmente empezó a tener grandes demandas en el mercado haciendo que crezca rápidamente, está enfrentando diferentes problemas internos en sus procesos y en el desarrollo de la toma de decisiones ejecutivas. En el presente trabajo se plantea una propuesta de Gobierno de TI orientado a las buenas prácticas de COBIT 2019 para poder mejorar significativamente los procesos de gestión de TI en la empresa, se toma como población los usuarios participantes en los procesos de gestión de TI y como muestra se usa la fórmula de población finita, logrando tener la muestra poblacional que se usará en la aplicación de las técnicas de recolección de datos, como lo son las encuestas, entrevistas y observaciones del análisis y resultados, dichos instrumentos se aplicarán tanto al inicio del proyecto como al final, logrando así poder tener una comparación de los resultados. Se logra obtener un diseño personalizado de gobierno de TI orientado a las buenas prácticas de COBIT 2019, logrando identificar los principales riesgos y diferentes roles que necesita tomar para lograr obtener una ventaja competitiva, del diseño realizado se toma como muestra a implementar uno de los procesos con más inconvenientes, que es la mesa de ayuda. Siguiendo las tareas propuestas por COBIT 2019 y alineándolas a las necesidades de la empresa, se implementó un Sistema de gestión de Servicios de TI (ITOP) para obtener un control de las incidencias de los usuarios y un mapeo de las incidencias más frecuentes con el fin de reducir el tiempo de atención de soporte.Currently, within the IT context, we can say that it is not only necessary to be up-to-date with technology, but also to have a structure oriented to good practices and to be able to obtain a competitive advantage. All companies, as they begin to grow, begin to acquire more risks when managing their internal processes or their incidents, most of the time causing delays in production and/or customer service. Such is the case of the company Inversiones Teonila Maura Sánchez Iparraguirre E.I.R.L (TMSI), a company dedicated to mining extraction and road transport since 2012, where it currently began to have great demands in the market causing it to grow rapidly, is facing different internal problems in its processes and in the development of executive decision making. In the present work, an IT Governance proposal is proposed, oriented to the good practices of COBIT 2019 in order to significantly improve the IT management processes in the company, taking as a population the users participating in the IT management processes and as sample the finite population formula is used, managing to have the population sample that will be used in the application of data collection techniques, such as surveys, interviews and observations of the analysis and results, these instruments will be applied both at the beginning of the project as at the end, thus achieving a comparison of the results. It is possible to obtain a personalized IT governance design oriented to the good practices of COBIT 2019, managing to identify the main risks and different roles that you need to take in order to obtain a competitive advantage, from the design carried out it is taken as a sample to implement one of the processes. with more drawbacks, which is the help desk. Following the tasks proposed by COBIT 2019 and aligning them to the needs of the company, an-IT Service Management System (ITOP) was implemented to obtain control of user incidents and a mapping of the most frequent incidents in order to reduce support attention timeTesi

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In 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.
