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
The legitimation to impugn corporate resolutions
No full textIl sistema dell’invalidità delle delibere nelle società di capitali si presenta come un sistema speciale, che la riforma del 2003 ha profondamente modificato, così contribuendo ad accentuarne i caratteri di peculiarità dei quali la legittimazione all’impugnazione rappresenta un significativo elemento.
Realizzato nella prima parte del lavoro un excursus sull’evoluzione della normativa in materia, dal silenzio del Codice di commercio del 1865 fino ad oggi, nell’obiettivo di ricostruire il sistema dell’impugnativa delle delibere nelle società di capitali occorre partire dalla riproposizione, in materia di impugnazione di delibere assembleari e decisioni dei soci, della tradizionale contrapposizione privatistica in termini di legittimazione tra soggetti determinati e chiunque vi abbia interesse.
In particolare, in materia di invalidità delle delibere assembleari permane nella rubrica degli articoli 2377 e 2379 del codice civile la distinzione, propria delle categorie di invalidità dei contratti, tra annullabilità e nullità, le quali tuttavia non si distinguono per un’efficacia precaria ed eliminabile da un lato ed un’inefficacia assoluta dall’altro lato, quanto piuttosto sotto il profilo del vizio fatto valere nonché della legittimazione e del termine per proporre l’azione.
Posto il valore organizzativo della delibera societaria, per cui essa costituisce un momento dell’attività sociale e rappresenta il valore attribuibile al procedimento che si svolge coerentemente con le regole dell’organizzazione della società, è possibile evidenziarne la distanza dal fenomeno negoziale e come il sistema delle invalidità societarie solo apparentemente ricalchi quello di matrice contrattuale e manifesti in realtà un’assoluta peculiarità di disciplina.
Sulla base di queste premesse il lavoro intende indagare nella sua seconda parte su quale sia l’interesse perseguito e protetto attraverso l’impugnativa di una delibera nelle società di capitali evidenziandone la diversità a seconda che si tratti dei soci (rispetto ai quali viene valutata la possibilità di un’assimilazione con l’interesse legittimo), degli organi sociali di amministrazione e di controllo e dei terzi, e cercare di comprendere se la scelta di legittimare dei soggetti determinati in alcuni casi e chiunque vi abbia interesse in altri trovi giustificazione in un apprezzabile criterio, poste le criticità dell’impostazione che riconduce tale contrapposizione alla diversità dell’interesse, generale o particolare, leso dal vizio della decisione.
Messe in luce le peculiarità del sistema, nella sua terza parte il lavoro si propone quindi di realizzare una disamina dei soggetti cui il legislatore ha in concreto attribuito la legittimazione ad impugnare le delibere nelle società di capitali nell’obiettivo da un lato, di approfondire gli svariati problemi applicativi che la disciplina comporta e dall’altro lato, di ricercare l’eventuale presenza di un filo comune intorno al quale il sistema si sviluppa.The invalidity system of corporate resolutions appears as a special system, that the reform of 2003 has deeply altered, so helping to accentuate the peculiarities of such the legitimation to impugnation represents a significant element.
Made in the first part of the work an excursus on the evolution of the legislation, by the silence of the Commercial code of 1865 to date, the purpose of reconstruct the system of corporate impugnations should start from the revival in the impugnation of company meeting’s resolutions and partners decisions, of the traditional privatistic contraposition in terms of legitimation between specific individuals and anyone who is interested.
Particularly, in invalidity of company meeting’s resolutions matters, remain in the title of articles 2377 and 2379 of the Civil code the distinction, its categories of invalid contracts, between annullability and nullity, which, however, does not distinguisch for precarious and eliminable efficacy on the one hand and absolute ineffectiveness on the other, but rather in terms of the defect claimed, and also of the legitimation and the expiry date to start legal proceedings.
Given the organizational value of corporate resolutions, so it is a moment of the company’s activity and represents the value attributable to the process that takes place in accordance with the rules of the company’s organization, you can underline the distance from the contractual phenomenon and how the invalidity system of corporate resolutions seemingly follows the contractual system and actually shows an absolute peculiarity of discipline.
Based on these premises, the work aims to investigate in its second part about what is the interest pursued and protected through the impugnation of a corporate resolution highlighting the diversity depending on whether the partners (with respect to which is valued the possibility of assimilation with the legitimate interest), the governing bodies of administration and control, and the thirds, and try to understand if the choice of legitimizing certain subjects in some cases, and anyone with an interest in others is warranted in an appreciable criterion, posed the critical setting that leads this contraposition to the diversity of interest, general or particular, injured from the defect of the decision.
Highlighted the peculiarities of the system, in its third part the work intends to carry out an examination of the subjects which the legislature has in practice given the legitimation to impugn the corporate resolutions in the purpose of, on the one hand, deepen the various application problems that the discipline involves and, on the other hand, search for the possible presence of a common thread around which the system develops.Dottorato di ricerca in Diritto dell'economia (XXVII. ciclo

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.
