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
CONCEPTUAL DOMINANTS IN R. MUSIL’S SHORT STORY “PENSION NIMMERMEHR”
Full text linkУ статті розглядається явище концептуальних домінант з їхніми суттєвими рисами в системі лінгвокультури та художньому тексті, а саме – у тексті короткого оповідання Р. Музиля «Pension Nimmermehr», який є легкоосяжним за своїм обсягом, через що концептуальні домінанти можна легко встановити. У статті надається перелік робіт науковців, присвячених розгляду концептів у художньому тексті, а також описується методика, запропонована науковцями для вивчення концептів художнього тексту й концептуальних домінант як смислів ключових концептів у творах певного автора. За методику взято концепцію асоціативно-смислового поля концептів В. Г. Ніконової і концепцію антиномій у концептуальній матриці художнього тексту О. Г. Фоменко. З метою дослідження концептів тексту і встановлення концептуальних домінант виносяться на розгляд такі поняття, як «ключове слово» та «заголовок» як перше ключове слово тексту. У статті перелічено ознаки ключових слів, на основі яких можна визначити та проаналізувати базові концепти тексту. У процесі аналізу концептопростору короткого оповідання австрійського письменника ХХ століття Р. Музиля «Pension Nimmermehr» із залученням методики асоціативно-смислового поля концептів та аналізу заголовка з його проєкціями виявлено базові концепти цього оповідання, проаналізовано їхні асоціативно-смислові поля та шляхом дослідження індивідуально-авторського сегменту поля визначено концептуальні домінанти цього тексту. Після чого були розглянуті смислові опозиції базових концептів тексту, спираючись на їх визначення в теорії О. Г. Фоменко. Такі дослідження художніх текстів дають змогу визначати їхні домінантні смисли, які був націлений виразити автор тексту, а також, розглядаючи більшу кількість текстів одного автора, – концетуальні домінанти, представлені в його творчості.The article explores conceptual dominants, emphasizing their defining characteristics within the framework of linguistic culture and their role in literary texts. It focuses on R. Musil’s short story “Pension Nimmermehr”, where the limited length of the text allows for a clear identification of conceptual dominants. The study reviews existing scholarly works on the analysis of concepts in literary texts and outlines a methodology for examining literary concepts and conceptual dominants as core meanings of an author’s key ideas. This methodology is based on V. Nikonova’s theory of associative-semantic fields and O. Fomenko’s concept of antinomies within the conceptual matrix of a literary text. Additionally, the article considers key words and titles as fundamental elements in determining a text’s central concepts, emphasizing their role in structuring meaning. Through a detailed analysis of the conceptual space in “Pension Nimmermehr”, the study applies the associative-semantic field method and title analysis to identify the story’s core concepts. It examines their associative and semantic fields, establishing conceptual dominants by investigating the individualauthorial segment of the field. Furthermore, the research explores the semantic oppositions between the text’s fundamental concepts, drawing on O. Fomenko’s theoretical framework to highlight their role in shaping the text’s deeper meaning. This approach facilitates the identification of dominant meanings that the author aimed to convey. Additionally, by analyzing a broader selection of an author’s works, it becomes possible to uncover recurring conceptual dominants that define the literary style and thematic focus. The findings contribute to literary conceptology by refining methodologies for conceptual analysis and supporting comparative studies of conceptual structures across various literary texts
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.
