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
Community Ministry of Presbyterian Church in Taiwan
No full text宗教研究學者已發展「公共宗教」理論，以解釋歐美教會在政治或市民社會中的公共表現，諸如倡導人權和抵抗獨裁政權等。本文則試圖在更微小的社區層次，探討「台灣基督長老教會」堂會的「社區宣教」如何展現其公共性。為此，本文選擇既有的「社會運動理論」來作為分析工具，旨在探討社區宣教的形成背景、組織領導、知識生產、信徒動員、知識溝通，以及它所造成的結果。本研究以質性方法的非正式（深入）訪談，蒐集可解釋以上問題的經驗。長老教會的文化中，有兩股意識形態影響著堂會與牧師的宣教理念。其一，是「教會增長」意識形態，近年來尤受跨國福音經驗的鼓舞，使各地許多堂會紛紛檢討並複製該佈道策略。其二，是近年來本土神學的建構，偏受「社會關懷」意識形態的影響，遂形成「可結合社會改革」的宣教思維。然而，堂會作為推動社區宣教的「既有網絡」卻有時面臨人力和資源的動員阻礙，而仰賴牧師的領導。這些阻礙都突破之後，牧師也主導「集體行動框架」的知識生產過程，而為獲得社區共鳴，甚至「集體認同」，又運作了一些「創意戰術」或策略，如品牌認同、空間詮釋、有機栽培、另類進香團和跑公祭等。然而，這些運作背後卻需要資源和政治機會的支持。社區宣教也為堂會打造了新的地方關係，儘管他們還是可能面對既有社區勢力的競爭。於是他們會彼此珍惜，或展開「宗教對話」。因為這些關係的建立，有可能讓堂會發展更積極的召募信徒的機制。實上，經過這些討論之後，「上帝國」的景象還是很模糊。它可能是「大教會」的景象，也可能是一種公義、和平和喜樂的理想社會。釐清這「真相」似乎必須等到世界末日。因此，本文最主要的任務，與其是讓讀者看見理想，倒不如是提供一種瞭解社區宣教的方法。This thesis attempts to discuss community ministry of Presbyterian Church in Taiwan. The analysis is based on Casanova’s “Public Religion”, explains public performance acted by the European and American church in political or civil society. Therefore, I use the social movement theory as tool, for the purpose of discussing the background, leadership, knowledge production, mobilization of the congregation, communication and result. Thus, the informal interview took place for the purposes of data collection.wo kinds of ideology influence congregations and pastors'' idea. Firstly, the “church growth” ideology, inspired by the transnationally evangelical movement, urges local congregations to examine and duplicate strategies to preach the Gospel. Secondly, the “social care” ideology has been constructing “the contextualizing theology” in order to participate in the social reform. owever, the congregations as the preexistent network sometimes faced lack of manpowers and resources, and the pastors should make an effort. They also leaded the “collective action framing” as the process of knowledge production, and operated some “creative tactics” or strategies like brand creation, space interpretation and organic cultivation. Nevertheless, behind these operations actually needed resources and political opportunity. Community ministry has also created new local relations, although they possibly face some competition with local influences. They may love each other and even take "religious conversation". Because of these relational establishments, the congregations may develop recruitment.n fact, “the Kingdom of God” is too hard to figure.It possibly is the "Big Church", or an ideal society full of justice, peace and joy. No researchers will make really sense until “end of the world”. So, this is just a method for understanding.第一章 導論 1一節 前言：「社區宣教」現象的歷史脈絡 1二節 學術定位與分析框架 5三節 社會運動理論作為分析工具 8四節 研究發問 13二章 研究方法 15一節 研究身份與主觀性 15二節 田野資料的蒐集 17三節 分析與寫作 19三章 兩股意識形態的養成 22一節 「意識形態」概念的說明 22二節 本土神學：邁向公共宗教的方法及實踐 26三節 社區宣教趨勢：社會關懷與教會增長 31四章 組織領導與既有網絡動員 39一節 牧師：「社區宣教」的當然領袖 40二節 牧師的生命經驗與宣教理念養成 46三節 動員堂會的障礙和突破 50四節 鄉村堂會的困境 61五章 集體行動框架、創意戰術與宣教戲碼 68一節 林內教會：環保意識與教會公園化（2002~2007） 69二節 「林內卡好」品牌行銷及其他創意戰術 78三節 林子內教會與「心靈的故鄉」（1995~2007） 87四節 讚美操：女信徒主導的創意戰術 93 六章 資源、機會與關係 98 一節 成立協會：政府補助與社會資源 98 二節 政治機會與合作關係 102 三節 地方關係與宗教對話 109 四節 團契經營與召募機制 117 七章 結論 122 一節 為什麼是「雙手」營造上帝國？ 122 二節 參與式規劃者期待的「雙手營造上帝國」方法 125 三節 結語：邁向「一種」社區宣教理論 12
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

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.
