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
Evolution stucturale de la marge nord-ouest hellenique dans l'ile de Levkas et ses environs (Grece nord-occidentale)
No full textThis regional study concerns stuctural geology of Levkas island (Northwestern Greece). First, stratigraphic setting of the two domains making the island ( Ionian and Paxos isopic zones) is briefly reviewed. Ages determinations on planctonic forminiferas allow us to complete the stratigraphy of the marly Neogene series. The stratigraphy of the continental Plio7Pleistocene to actual formations is described. A detailed study based on geological mapping allows us to precise the nature and age of folded and thrusted structures. They are characterized by a well-known westward vergence, nevertheless, several overturned folds and thrusts toward the East are observed. In the third part we emphasize the magnitude of Plio-Quaternary deformation. A decakilometric NNE-SSW trending bulging take place during the lower Pleistocene compressive phase. This bulge can be considered as an anticline folding upon which normal faulting occur. About 10 km long dextral strike-slip fault have been moving from lower Pleistocene (?) to Recent time in. the westernmost part of the island; they allow us to suppose the occurrence of a large offshore dextral strike-slip fault zone . In the fourth part, the structural analysis of brittle and ductile deformation is done to define the stress pattern of the island. In conclusion, we suggest, taking in account geological, geophysical and paleomagnetic data, a pattern of the geodynamic evolution of the northwestern part of the Miocene Ionian-Lycian arc then Pliocene Aegean. An annex contains the description of a fault tectonic analysis software working on a micro-computer.Cette étude régionale traite largement la géologie structurale de l'île de Levkas en Grèce Nord-occidentale. Dans un premier temps il est fait rappel des données stratigraphiques qui concernent les deux domaines isopiques qui constituent file (zone de Paxos et zone ionienne), puis les datations de foraminifères planctoniques viennent compléter les attributions stratigraphiques de son Néogène. La stratigraphie des formations continentales pléistocènes à actuelles est aussi traitée. Une étude détaillée essentiellement basée sur la cartographie permet de préciser la nature et l'âge de la formation des structures plissées ou charriées affectant la série sédimentaire ionienne dans le niveau structural supérieur. On y montre notamment l'importance des phases tectoniques du Miocène moyen (Langhien inférieur) et du Pliocène inférieur, et la présence de plis ou chevauchements déversés vers 1/Est se surimposant aux structures à vergence Est-Ouest classiquement décrites en Grèce de l'Ouest. Une troisième partie montre l'importance des déformations plio-quaternaires dans la région. A Levkas, un important bombement NNE-SSW décakilométrique se forme au cours de la phase compressive du Pléistocène ancien. Celui-ci est assimilable à une voussure anticlinale sur laquelle se forment des failles extensives parfois kilométriques. Cependant des failles décrochantes plurikilométriques dextres normales (10km) fonctionnent du Pléistocène ancien(?) jusqu'à l'Actuel dans la partie occidentale de l'île, laissant supposer l'existence d'un accident décrochant dextre longeant la côte Ouest. Une quatrième partie est consacrée à l'analyse géométrique ou numérique des déformations cassantes ou souples afin de déterminer les modalités de l'application des contraintes au cours de l'histoire tectonique de l'île. Les deux derniers chapitres intègrent les données obtenues à Levkas et régionalement (géologie, géophysique, paléomagnétisme) afin de retracer l'évolution géodynamique de la partie NW de l'arc ionien-lycien puis égéen depuis le Miocène inférieur et jusqu'à l'Actuel. En annexe, de nombreuses données ont été consignées ainsi que l'architecture d'un programme de traitement des données de tectonique cassante fonctionnant sur micro-ordinateur

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.
