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
Incidencias de la era postdigital y la IA en los procesos proyectuales de los espacios didácticos y la práctica profesional
No full textThroughout the twentyfirst century, we have witnessed a process of loss
of materiality and cultural thickness in a large part of the artifacts produced. This
phenomenon, which began at the end of the twentieth century, was driven by constant
technological advances that generated miniaturization and dematerialization. The
dematerialization of material culture has focused attention on technology, user experience,
and functionality,which has increased the performance of products and driven radical
innovations, resulting in new products or product systems.
In addition, this process has affected the materiality of the design process itself explored
by the designers, influencing research, decision-making, ideation, product adjustment
and prototyping. This aspect has been enhanced by the growing adoption of digital tools
and exponential connectivity in the post-digital era, along with the emergence of nascent
artificial intelligence, which contributes to the culture of immediacy that permeates
us today. Nowadays, the hybridization between the tangible and intangible leads to a
deepening of professional fields and an acceleration in development times and their scope.
This work aims to reflect on the relationships between process and outcome, how these
interactions continuously transform, as well as the ways to intervene in interfaces and the
influence exerted by networks and media of the post-digital era. It also seeks to explore the
mutations of these relationships and the underlying trends in the manipulation of matter.Ao longo do século XXI, temos testemunhado um processo de perda de
materialidade e espessura cultural em grande parte dos artefatos produzidos. Este
fenômeno, que começou no final do século XX, foi impulsionado pelos constantes
avanços tecnológicos que geraram miniaturização e desmaterialização, o que, por
sua vez, provocou uma ruptura nas interfaces tradicionais dos produtos emergentes.
A desmaterialização da cultura material tem centrado a atenção na tecnologia, na
experiência do usuário e na funcionalidade, o que aumentou o desempenho dos produtos
e impulsionou inovações radicais, resultando em novos produtos ou sistemas de produtos.
Além disso, esse processo afetou a materialidade do próprio processo projetual explorado
pelos designers, influenciando a pesquisa, a tomada de decisões, a ideação, o ajuste de
produto e o prototipagem. Esse aspecto foi potencializado pela crescente adoção de
ferramentas digitais e pela conectividade exponencial na era pós-digital, juntamente com
o surgimento da inteligência artificial incipiente, que contribui para a cultura da imediata
que nos atravessa atualmente. Hoje em dia, a hibridização entre o tangível e o intangível
leva a uma profundidade dos campos profissionais e a uma aceleração nos tempos de
desenvolvimento e seu alcance. Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre as relações entre o processo e o resultado, como essas interações se transformam continuamente, bem
como as formas de intervir nas interfaces e a influência que exercem as redes e meios da
era pós-digital. Também se busca explorar as mutações dessas relações e as tendências
subjacentes na manipulação da matéria.A lo largo del siglo XXI, hemos presenciado un proceso de pérdida de materialidad y espesor cultural en gran parte de los artefactos producidos. Este fenómeno, que

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.
