Women's Leadership Aspiration Research Internship
No full text37 p.This summer I was afforded the opportunity to work under Dr. Karyn Boatwright as her primary research assistant and co-author of her manuscript concerning women’s leadership aspirations and the inquiry into the internal (psychological) factors that may be preventing women from filling the gender gap in higher level leadership positions across career fields. Over the course of the summer, I worked on a daily basis alongside Dr. Boatwright, in-person and virtually, completing Phase I of her qualitative longitudinal study. This included helping her complete her mostly-written manuscript over the results of her initial experiment. In these results, Dr. Boatwright examines the responses of 19 undergraduate women to five questions regarding effective leadership styles and experiences in leadership posed to them in the spring of each year (and also in the fall of their first year) throughout a series of five interviews during their time at college. Dr. Boatwright’s results add to the growing field of research on women’s leadership aspirations, while her article specifically addresses the primary barriers college women face in obtaining (and maintaining) aspirations for higher level leadership positions throughout their college experience. Further, her discussion offers suggestions to professors on how they can help eradicate the problem of low leadership aspirations, as well as pedagogical strategies to promote women’s balanced leadership style and to inspire more women to seek elite leadership roles. Through many meetings with Dr. Boatwright over the summer and an additional deal of time spent alone, I familiarized myself with the manuscript and the important studies she had used in her previous research on the topic. During daily meetings in her home lab, I continually ensured the reference list was both consistent with the manuscript and correctly formatted in adherence with APA formatting. I was also in charge of all APA formatting throughout the rest of the manuscript as well. Another task of mine was to find current statistics from different sources (including government databases and other organizations) on the number of women in various positions of leadership. Additionally, I assisted in locating quotes to be used as supportive evidence in the results section of the manuscript and wrote a small addition that was included in the final version. The other part of my SIP involved working in a dual leadership style under Mona Griesberg and in collaboration with student research assistants on Phase II of Dr. Boatwright’s study. The dual leadership process worked in that Dr. Boatwright’s previous research leadership training with Mona was able to inform Mona’s training of myself as a leader in preparation for a future date when I will lead my fellow student research assistants as the head of our team. Phase II is currently ongoing and engages research assistants in tracking down our past participants from Phase I of the study to re-interview them with an updated edition of the same questions from the original interviews. We also added a few extra questions concerning intersectionality and family planning in hopes to identify additional barriers in women’s leadership aspirations, as well as a questionnaire to investigate the phenomenon of imposter syndrome within our participants. We have been fortunate enough to have conducted interviews with four past participants so far, and I’m thrilled to have been given the opportunity to interview a past participant who is now a successful head and neck surgeon and doubles as an assistant professor. It was both inspiring and empowering to hear this participant speak about her success in her budding career. I also saw a very human side to her as she spoke about her internal struggles with leadership despite her current achievements. Although Phase II of the research is ongoing, my SIP was officially completed when Dr. Boatwright and I submitted the manuscript from Phase I to the Journal of College Student Development for review
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
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.
