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

Previous issue date: 2018-03-23Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior - CAPESThe results presented in this dissertation emerge in a research process that analyzes the interpretation of waste pickers on their work activity ? the waste picking ? as well as the development of this interpretation in the biographical process. Considering that the interpretation of the subjects in the social world consists in the interaction with the other, in the course of their life trajectories from certain mechanisms and rules, the present study searches, in the biographical trajectory of the subjects, evidences of what and how of this interpretation. Based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of the interpretative biographical research, I perform the reconstruction of two interviews using the biographical reconstruction analysis method developed by the sociologist Gabriele Rosenthal. Reconstructions of Aline and Vanessa cases give rise to two distinct types of interpretation on the waste picking, taking into account the macro and micro-sociological mechanisms behind these interpretations. Before presenting the types, I discuss, from the perspective of the authors of interpretative sociology, especially Alfred Sch?tz (2004), Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann (2014), in what way the activity of the waste picking has been institutionalizing in Brazil, since the end of the nineteenth century, as a social, economic, environmental and political practice, according to mechanisms that ensure its legitimacy before society. Institutionalization, legitimation and socialization are therefore some of the processes behind these practices. The proposed approach contributes to the understanding of the social mechanisms behind the phenomenon of waste picking, evidencing the active participation of the collectors in the construction of this phenomenon.Os resultados apresentados nesta disserta??o surgem num processo de pesquisa que analisa a interpreta??o de catadores de res?duos sobre a sua atividade laboral ? a cata??o ?, bem como o desenvolvimento dessa interpreta??o no processo biogr?fico. Considerando que a interpreta??o dos sujeitos no mundo social se constitui na intera??o com o outro, no curso de suas trajet?rias de vida a partir de determinados mecanismos e regras, o presente estudo busca, na trajet?ria biogr?fica dos sujeitos, evid?ncias do qu? e do como dessa interpreta??o. Com base nos pressupostos te?ricos e metodol?gicos da pesquisa biogr?fica interpretativa, realizo a reconstru??o de duas entrevistas a partir do m?todo de an?lise de reconstru??o biogr?fica de caso desenvolvido pela soci?loga Gabriele Rosenthal. As reconstru??es dos casos de Aline e Vanessa d?o origem a dois tipos distintos de interpreta??o sobre a cata??o, levando em considera??o os mecanismos macro e microssociol?gicos por tr?s dessas interpreta??es. Antes da apresenta??o dos tipos, discuto, a partir da perspectiva de autores da sociologia interpretativa, em especial Alfred Sch?tz (2004), Peter Berger e Thomas Luckmann (2014), de que forma a atividade da cata??o vem se institucionalizando no Brasil desde o fim do s?culo XIX como uma pr?tica social, econ?mica, ambiental e pol?tica, de acordo com mecanismos que assegurem sua legitima??o perante a sociedade. Institucionaliza??o, legitima??o e socializa??o s?o, portanto, alguns dos processos por tr?s dessas pr?ticas. A abordagem proposta contribui especialmente para a compreens?o dos mecanismos sociais por detr?s do fen?meno da cata??o, evidenciando a participa??o ativa dos catadores na sua constru??o
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.
