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
Photo of Charles Carr, circa 1951/1960, Whittier
No full textPhotograph of Charles Carr. The back of the photograph contains this lengthy handwritten obituary: "To the eternal honor and glory of Charles Carr, Whittier Calif. For the triumphant victory of the cause he so valiantly strove to help win for all. Born in Texas. Family fled to Wyoming in the 1870s. The children walked to school six miles (12 mi.) daily, oft times in snow storms & even blizzards. A coal miner in the vast N.W. Then after wanderings all over U.S. settled in Idaho. Organized the boiler makers -- now his trade -- of the Great Northern R.R. The fascist bosses reward him with charges of criminal syndicalism. Trumped up fakery. 3-1/2 years in the pen. Out. Returns to his home, Pocatello. In a few years the co. assessors tax him out. To So. Calif. Builds small shack on Beverly Blvd. & San Gabriel River. At east end of 500 foot, Beverly Blvd. Bridge. Wine OK & riff raff cook & sleep -- a la paste boards, under the structure. C.C. settles fights. Gives foods to the starving. Works for the 'white' for miles around. Gardening, etc. Has beautiful flower garden of his own. The flood of 1937 lapped at his doorway. He now lived half way between Jim Town, south, on the river and Pio Pico Park a mile east on the Hondo River, descendants of Governor Pico's reign. In between now came the good whites and the 'lily' whites. Many & devious were the attempts to roust him, oust him, implicate, plot and infuriate.; Charles lived and thrived, a true ruler in his own domain. Many were the gifts tossed to him by the colored men on the U.P. trains running 'next door.' Children loved him. Played checkers with him. Left their b-b guns & duds with him while playing & swimming up river. In 1947 the wooden bridge burned down. At 10 A.M. C.C. later told me, a pick up truck drove furiously past. Then stopped several hundred feet away. Planted a fierce burning flare between two planks & sped on. I was in the hospital in Whittier. A new man came in the ward. Told the story of the famed bridge, and 'they think the old nigger there, burned it.' I shouted that could not be and must not be so charged. That I'd know(n) him more than 15 years, and even the 'law' had declared he was the clean person of the whole community, and kept down the law-breaking elements. This, when the St. Helen's Petroleum Company tried to frame him. Now and then he would permit white people from other parts to camp there. Would lend them his wash tubs, ironing board & stove. In 1950 a very sweet dear fine white woman came there. Out of work. C. moved to shed. She took his bed. And board. They lived a beautiful idyllic life till she died about 1954. C. was murdered in The Gen'l Hosp. In 1955. By hospital neglect -- gangrene! Fascism!!!!! By aid of Edison Company.
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
