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
Essays on Experimental Economics for the Environment and Economics of Privacy
Get PDFIm 21. Jahrhundert bestehen zwei Hauptherausforderungen der ökonomischen Forschung darin,
effektive Lösung für die Gestaltung der digitalen Transformation und für die Eindämmung des
menschengemachten Klimawandels aufzuzeigen. Die Forschung zur digitalen
Transformationen ist eng mit verschiedenen Datenschutz- (oder Privatsphäre-)relevanten
Fragestellungen verbunden, die sich vorwiegend auf die Präferenzen und Entscheidungen von
Einzelpersonen beziehen. Im Gegensatz dazu befasst sich die Forschung zum Klimawandel
damit, welche Faktoren eine effektive Kooperation zwischen mehreren Individuen erschweren
und wie gemeinsame Ziele, wie die Begrenzung des Klimawandels, erreicht werden können.
Die Verbindung zwischen Datenschutz- und Umweltökonomie besteht darin, dass viele digitale
Technologien das Potential haben, positive externe Effekte zu erzeugen, die zur Bereitstellung
oder Erhaltung öffentlicher Güter beitragen können. Oftmals sind diese digitalen Technologien
jedoch dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass ihre Nutzung die Offenlegung persönlicher Informationen
erfordert. Der potentielle Erfolg dieser Technologien und institutionellen Mechanismen hängt
daher weitgehend von der gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz gegenüber diesen Technologien und
institutionellen Mechanismen ab.
Jeder Artikel in dieser kumulativen Dissertation leistet einen Beitrag zu der übergeordneten
Fragestellung, inwiefern ökonomische Experimente dazu beitragen können, die Effizienz von
Institutionen und Technologien, die öffentliche Güter bereitstellen oder erhalten können, zu
evaluieren und potentiell zu steigern. Im ersten Artikel wird untersucht, ob der
Publikationsprozess von Fachzeitschriften im Bereich der experimentellen Ökonomik
verbessert werden kann. Die weiteren fünf Artikel befassen sich direkt oder indirekt mit
unterschiedlichen, aber miteinander verbundenen Problemstellungen zu öffentlichen Gütern,
die eng mit Fragen zum Datenschutz oder Umweltfragen verbunden sind. Methodisch sind die
sechs Artikel dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie die experimentelle Methode entweder direkt für
ihre individuellen Forschungsfragen anwenden oder die Ergebnisse der experimentellen
Literatur nutzen, um Hypothesen abzuleiten und empirische Ergebnisse in spezifischen
Datenschutz-relevanten Kontexten zu erklären.
Im Bereich des Datenschutzes werden in der Dissertation Faktoren identifiziert, die die
Weitergabe von Daten in verschiedenen Smartphone-Apps aus Schlüsselindustrien der
digitalen Transformation und auf Arbeitgeberbewertungsplattformen beeinflussen. Im Bereich
der Umweltökonomie wird im ersten Artikel ein institutioneller Mechanismus vorgeschlagen,
IV
der die Bereitschaft erhöhen kann, zu Recyclingsystemen beizutragen und im zweiten Artikel
wird gezeigt, dass die Möglichkeit, ein öffentliches Gut auszubeuten, die Kooperation zur
Eindämmung des Klimawandels erschweren kann.In the 21st century, two main challenges for economic research are to propose effective
solutions to shape the digital transformation and mitigate human-induced climate change.
Research on digital transformation is closely linked to various privacy-related issues, which
mostly relate to the preferences and decisions of individuals. In contrast, climate change
research examines which factors impede effective cooperation among multiple individuals and
investigates how common goals, such as limiting climate change, can be achieved.
The link between economics of privacy and environmental economics is that many digital
technologies have the potential to generate positive externalities that can contribute to the
provision or maintenance of public goods. However, in many cases these digital technologies
are characterized by the fact that their use requires the disclosure of personal information. The
potential success of these technologies and institutional mechanisms therefore largely depends
on social acceptance towards these technologies and institutional mechanisms.
Each paper in this cumulative dissertation contributes to the broader question of how economic
experiments can contribute to evaluate and potentially increase the efficiency of institutions and
technologies that can provide or maintain public goods. The first paper investigates whether the
publication process of journals in the field of experimental economics can potentially be
improved. The remaining five papers focus directly or indirectly on different but related public
goods problems which are closely linked to privacy or environmental issues. Methodologically,
the six papers share the feature that they either directly apply the experimental method for their
individual research questions or use the results of experimental literature to derive hypotheses
and explain empirical outcomes in specific privacy-related contexts.
In the field of privacy, the dissertation identifies factors that influence data sharing in several
smartphone apps from key industries of the digital transformation and on employer review
platforms. In the area of environmental economics, the first paper proposes an institutional
mechanism that can increase the willingness to contribute to recycling systems, and the second
paper shows that the ability to exploit a public good can impede cooperation to mitigate climate
change
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
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.
