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
Thematic Diversity In Majeed Amjad's Poetry: مجید امجد کی شاعری میں موضوعاتی تنوع
No full textMajeed Amjad (1914-1974) from Jhang was a leading Urdu poet. He gave Urdu poetry a styleofmodern themes and played an important role in bringing it closer to world literature withhissimple but profound imagination. Among the first generation of poets who made their impact onUrdu poetry after the establishment of Pakistan, Majeed Amjad's name comes first. Especiallyinthe tradition of Urdu poetry, he added some colors that belong only to him. MajeedAmjad'sghazals also have their own special mood, but he was basically a poet of poetry. He startedhisliterary life as the editor of Jhang's newspaper "Urooj" and had to wash his hands of theeditorship for raising his voice against British imperialism. Later, he was appointed as anofficerof the Food Department and worked there until his death. His first collection of poems "Shab-e-Rafta" was published in 1958. His second collection of poetry, "Shab Rafta Ke Baad", waspublished after his death in 1976, and his complete poetry was published in "Kaliyat-e-MajeedAmjad" in 1989. He made the common themes of daily life the focus of his poetry, but withamodern style of expression. By writing on titles like "Hari Bhari Faslo", "Bus StandPar", "Harappe Ka Ek Katba", "Accident" and "Kahani Ek Malik Ki", he brought Urdu poetry inlinewith modern trends.

Feminist Criticism in Urdu Literature: An Analysis
Full text linkFeminist trends in Urdu literature have been visible since the forties of the twentieth century. This trend was of two types. One trend is pure feminist consciousness and the other is feminist rhetoric. An important name of that period is Dr. Rashid Jahan. Rashid Jahan started writing around 1930. In fact, two of her stories, ‘Dilli Ki Sair’ and ‘Pardey Ke Zaheer’, published in Lucknow, have received a lot of attention. Rashid Jahan also received anonymous and threatening letters. Rashid Jahan was a socialist and was regularly associated with the communist movement, but her stories shed light on the two different standards and moral principles prevailing in society for women and men. In "Mujrim Kon" (1941), an English pilgrim, Mr. Robbins, sentences a cowherd to three years for abducting another laborer's wife (who had actually gone with him of her own free will). But he himself first abducts the wife of a colonel and then divorces her husband and marries her. The first clear voice of feminism in women's Urdu literature is that of Ismat Chughtai. Ismat's tone, her tone, her style of writing are purely feminism. Her writings are the first experience of expressing feminism and consciousness in women's Urdu literature. Ismat's themes are unique. Her reaction to social conditions is also unique.

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
