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
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
Od opisu iluzji do ich wykorzystania w argumentacji
No full textProponowana refleksja polega na przyjrzeniu się prototypowi wybranemu przez autorów Traktatu argumentacji (Traité de l'argumentation,1958) do wyjaśnienia struktury dysocjacji argumentacyjnej: iluzji percepcyjnej wytwarzanej przez refrakcję. Wybór takiego przykładu może być zaskoczeniem, biorąc pod uwagę, że w ogólnych debatach dysocjacje argumentacyjne są znacznie częściej typu opinia/prawda niż typu wygląd (lub percepcja)/rzeczywistość. Intuicja Perelmana i Olbrechts-Tyteca może jednak odpowiadać tendencji specyficznej dla słownictwa używanego w argumentacji. Według Turco i Coltier (1988), niektóre znaczniki argumentacyjne, które nie odpowiadają konkretnym rzeczywistościom, zostały zapożyczone z bardziej namacalnego słownictwa przestrzeni i czasu (na przykład, or, alors, dès lors, dla czasu, lub d’un côté, d’un autre côté, dla przestrzeni). Hipoteza robocza polega na przyjęciu tej propozycji w celu zidentyfikowania, które struktury przydatne do opisania konkretnej iluzji percepcyjnej mogą być użyte do zaznaczenia obecności dysocjacji argumentacyjnej. Musimy również rozważyć, jakie adaptacje mogą umożliwić rozróżnienie między użyciem opisowym (opisującym iluzję percepcyjną) a użyciem argumentacyjnym (oznaczającym dysocjację argumentacyjną). Na przykład, w przypadku czasownika sembler, opisy iluzji zwykle nie określają celownika, ponieważ iluzja jest ogólnie postrzegana przez każdą osobę znajdującą się w sytuacji umożliwiającej obserwację takiego zjawiska (Vue de loin, une tour carrée semblera ronde); w dysocjacji argumentacyjnej, w przeciwieństwie do tak zwanych zastosowań łagodzących (emplois de mitigation), prototypowym zastosowaniem jest użycie trzeciej osoby do oznaczenia autora przeciwnej opinii, osoby wyraźnie różniącej się od mówiącego (Il lui/leur semble que p. Or, q). Badanie opisu złudzeń percepcyjnych opiera się na pracy Jacquesa Ninnio (La science des illusions, 1998), która jest porównywana z korpusem tekstów argumentacyjnych przeznaczonych dla uczniów ostatnich klas.The proposed reflection involves looking at the prototype chosen by the authors of the Treatise on Argumentation (1958) to explain the structure of an argumentative dissociation: the perceptual illusion produced by refraction. The choice of such an example may come as a surprise given that, in debates on ideas, argumentative dissociations are much more often of the opinion/truth type than of the appearance (or perception)/reality type. Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca's intuition could, however, correspond to a tendency specific to the vocabulary used in argumentation. According to Turco and Coltier (1988), certain argumentative markers that do not correspond to concrete realities have been borrowed from the more tangible vocabulary of space and time (for example, or, alors, dès lors, for time, or on the one hand, on the other hand, for space). The working hypothesis is to take up this proposal in order to identify which structures useful for describing a concrete perceptual illusion can be used to mark the presence of an argumentative dissociation. We also need to ask what adaptations might make it possible to distinguish between a descriptive use (describing a perceptual illusion) and an argumentative use (marking an argumentative dissociation). For example, with the verb to seem, descriptions of illusions will not usually specify a dative because the illusion is generally perceived by any individual in a position to observe such a phenomenon (Vue de loin, une tour carrée semblera ronde); in argumentative dissociation, and in contrast to so-called mitigation uses, the prototypical use will consist instead of using a third person to designate the author of an opposing opinion, a person clearly distinct from that of the speaker (Il lui/leur semble que p. Or, q). The study of the description of perceptual illusions is based on a work by Jacques Ninnio (La science des illusions, 1998), which is compared with a corpus of argumentative texts intended for final year pupils.La réflexion proposée consiste à s’interroger sur le prototype choisi par les auteurs du Traité de l’argumentation (1958) pour expliquer la structure d’une dissociation argumentative : l’illusion perceptive produite par la réfraction. Le choix d’un tel exemple peut surprendre dans la mesure où, dans les débats d’idées, les dissociations argumentatives sont bien plus souvent, du type opinion / vérité que du type apparence (ou perception) / réalité. L’intuition de Perelman et Olbrechts-Tyteca pourrait cependant correspondre à une tendance propre au vocabulaire utilisé en argumentation. En effet, selon Turco et Coltier (1988), certains marqueurs argumentatifs, ne correspondant pas à des réalités concrètes, ont été empruntés au vocabulaire, plus tangible, de l’espace et du temps (par exemple, or, alors, dès lors, pour le temps ou d’un côté, d’un autre côté, pour l’espace). L’hypothèse de travail consiste à reprendre cette proposition pour identifier quelles structures utiles à la description d’une illusion perceptuelle concrète peuvent être employées pour marquer la présence d’une dissociation argumentative. Il s’agit également de se demander quelles adaptations permettent éventuellement de distinguer un emploi descriptif (description d’une illusion perceptive) et un emploi argumentatif (marquage d’une dissociation argumentative). Par exemple, avec le verbe sembler, les descriptions d’illusions ne spécifieront habituellement pas de datif car l’illusion est généralement perçue par tout individu mis en situation d’observer un tel phénomène (Vue de loin, une tour carrée semblera ronde) ; dans une dissociation argumentative, et à rebours des emplois dits de mitigation, l’emploi prototypique consistera plutôt à utiliser une troisième personne de manière à désigner l’auteur d’une opinion adverse, une personne nettement distincte de celle du locuteur (Il lui/leur semble que p. Or, q). L’étude de la description des illusions perceptives se fonde sur un ouvrage de Jacques Ninnio (La science des illusions, 1998) qui est confrontée à un corpus de textes argumentatifs destinés à des élèves de terminale
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.
