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
Du basque au francoprovençal : valorisation des langues régionales ou minoritaires par la conception d'un musée numérique européen
No full textBy the end of the 20th century, modern languages were no longer seen solely astools of communication, but rather, for European governances, as an intangible cultural heritage to be protected. Realising that many of these languages were in danger of extinction made it urgent to safeguard them. To this end, on 5 November 1992, the Council of Europe promulgated the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, identifying them as an ‘expression of cultural wealth' and encouraging Member States to preserve and promote them by the requirement to ratify the Charter. Nevertheless, many players, including local and regional authorities, research centres, schools and associations, are participating in the European debate on the subject and getting involved. However, the resulting linguistic policies and/or developments are of little interest to museums.However, according to ICOM's definition of museums in 2022, museums today are inherently involved in safeguarding tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Although the exhibition remains an instrument for promotion and transmission, the term ‘museification' is often used to describe museum installations (such as picture rails, showcases, text panels, etc.) that are used to safeguard the ICH. However, with their creative and didactic potential, others transcend this ‘bricks and mortar' representation, mainly through new devices such as digital technology, making it possible to integrate multimedia content relating to these heritages' evolving practices and knowledge. Digital technology is helping to fulfil the mission of interaction and even active participation by the public that museums have sought to achieve since the era of the New Museology of the 1970s.Europe also advocates the use of digital technology to develop and update culture.However, not all museums are taking advantage of this, and few worldwide are dedicated to languages, particularly regional and minority languages, despite strong mobilisation in some European territories.Based on this observation, and by studying a corpus of twenty-six museums in northern Italy and southern France, my project aims to promote the enhancement of regional and minority languages by designing a digital museum. I will also demonstrate its relevance in terms of a multilingual sharing space. Museum institutions can draw inspiration from it or even integrate it. I will also explain why language underpins tangible cultural heritage and how its preservation is defended through the prism of ethnographic objects, in this case, the kutxa and the altsón. Analysing and linking the data gathered during my exploratory work will enable me to define the foundations of my project, supported by the study of the musée Basque et de l'histoire de Bayonne in the French Basque Country in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department and the Museo dell'Artigianato Valdostano di tradizione (MAV) in the Valle d'Aosta, in Fénis, Italy. These museums are my fields of observation and methodological experimentation. Located in areas with unique histories, they work to promote their respective regional or minority languages: Basque and Francoprovençal. To launch my digital museum, which is currently in the prototype stage, these languages will be the focus of targeted promotion.Dès la fin du XXème siècle, les langues vivantes ne sont plus uniquementappréhendées comme outils de communication mais bien, pour les gouvernanceseuropéennes, comme un patrimoine culturel immatériel à protéger. En effet, la prise de conscience du danger d'extinction de nombre d'entre elles rend leur sauvegarde urgente. À cette fin, le 5 novembre 1992, le Conseil de l'Europe promulgue la Charte européenne des langues régionales ou minoritaires qui les identifie en tant qu'« expression de la richesse culturelle » et incite les États membres à les préserver et les promouvoir. Certains d'entre eux ne l'ont pas ratifiée. Néanmoins, de multiples acteurs dont les autorités territoriales, les centres de recherche, les écoles, les associations s'approprient les réflexions européennes à ce sujet et s'impliquent dans cette dynamique. Pour autant, les politiques et/ou aménagements linguistiques qui en résultent sollicitent peu les institutions muséales.Or, selon la définition des musées de l'ICOM en 2022, les musées aujourd'hui sont des acteurs inhérents à la sauvegarde du patrimoine culturel matériel et immatériel. Bien que l'exposition demeure un instrument de valorisation et de transmission, le terme de « museification » désignant une sauvegarde statufiée du PCI, est souvent utilisé pour qualifier les dispositifs muséaux (comme les cimaises, vitrines, panneaux textuels etc). Néanmoins, d'autres, par leur potentiel créatif et didactique transcendent cette représentation de « bric et de mortier », notamment par l'usage de nouveaux dispositifs comme le numérique, permettant d'intégrer des contenus multimédias, relatifs aux pratiques et savoirs évolutifs de ces patrimoines. Le numérique concourt aux missions d'interaction voire de participation active des publics recherchées par les musées depuis l'ère de la Nouvelle Muséologie des années 70.En outre, l'Europe préconise l'usage du numérique en termes de développement et d'actualisation pour la culture. Néanmoins, les musées ne s'en saisissent pas tous et peu, dans le monde, se dédient aux langues, notamment aux langues régionales et minoritaires malgré une forte mobilisation sur certains territoires européens.À partir de ce constat, et par l'étude d'un corpus de vingt-six musées situés principalement au nord de l'Italie et au sud de la France, mon projet ambitionne de promouvoir la valorisation des langues régionales et minoritaires via la conception d'un musée numérique. Je démontrerai aussi sa pertinence en termes d'espace de partage multilingue. Les institutions muséales pourront s'en inspirer voire l'intégrer. J'expliquerai également pourquoi la langue étaye le patrimoine culturel matériel et comment par le prisme d'objets ethnographiques, ici : le kutxa et l'altsón, sa sauvegarde est défendue. L'analyse et mise en lien des données recueillies lors de mon travail exploratoire me permettront de circonscrire les fondations de mon projet en me soutenant de l'étude du musée Basque et de l'histoire de Bayonne au Pays basque dans le département des Pyrénées-Atlantiques, en France et du Museo dell'Artigianato Valdostano di tradizione (MAV) dans la Vallée d'Aoste, à Fénis en Italie. Ces musées constituent mes terrains d'observations et d'expérimentations méthodologiques. Implantés dans des territoires issus d'histoires singulières, ils œuvrent à conduire des actions en faveur de leurs langues régionales ou minoritaires respectives : le basque et le francoprovençal. Pour initier mon musée numérique au stade actuel de prototype, ces langues feront l'objet d'une valorisation ciblée

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.
