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

Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas. Centro Científico Tecnológico Conicet. Nodo Nordeste; Argentina.La provincia de Misiones aparece en la historia argentina caracterizada por los múltiples litigios territoriales como es el caso de la guerra de la triple alianza y los sesgos vinculados al perfil agrícola industrial que se forjó durante décadas con la consecuente somatización ambiental producto de la depredación de la flora y la fauna a través del avance de los polos productivos industriales que aún hoy mantienen su predominio en el ámbito socioeconómico de esta provincia. Este aspecto tiene incidencia desde sus inicios sobre la cuestión de la demanda habitacional, la cual fue resuelta por diferentes medios de forma empírica a lo largo de la historia de la provincia. Como consecuencia se observan antecedentes en el ámbito habitacional que resultaron en sistemas constructivos diversos, cuyas características estructurales fueron obviadas en términos cuantitativos, acentuándose esto en el campo de las viviendas sociales. El campo de estudio de la situación edilicia de las viviendas unifamiliares es extenso, debido a la variedad de ofertas de materiales componentes en los sistemas de albañilería: Ladrillos macizos, bloques cerámicos huecos, bloques de hormigón, como los más comunes. El problema de estos sistemas constructivos, radica en la falta de estudios, a nivel regional, de caracterización del comportamiento mecánico de la mampostería. Partiendo del hecho de que todo medio continuo en contacto con otros cuerpos, es necesario transmitir esfuerzos, lo que pone de alguna manera en segundo plano la hipótesis de elementos pertenecientes a una "estructura independiente" del sistema constructivo, ya que la configuración de los estados tensionales pasa de incluirse en el diagrama de cuerpo libre a los diafragmas verticales constituidos por los muros de mampostería, y su propio comportamiento puede verse afectado por su interacción con otros materiales como el hormigón estructural, el acero o la madera.
El objetivo de este trabajo es desarrollar una metodología para el diseño estructural de estos edificios bajo las condiciones regionales características. Se enmarca el análisis en un tipo de sistema constructivo de mamposterías de ladrillo cerámico Hueco (LCH). La selección del prototipo se lleva a cabo mediante el método de análisis DAFO (herramienta utilizada para generar un pensamiento estratégico), con el fin de obtener el mejor resultado desde el punto de vista científico y tecnológico. Luego se propone un proceso de modelación numérica y pruebas de laboratorio que permitirán definir modelos aplicables al análisis estructural de los sistemas constructivos regionales, a fin de establecer técnicas de optimización y diseño de este tipo de estructuras. El trabajo se enfoca en la posibilidad de aportar información sobre los materiales característicos de la zona de la misión que no están caracterizados de forma estructural y que forman parte del mercado de la construcción en la provincia. Permitirá definir nuevos horizontes en términos de optimización para este tipo de materiales. Los temas propuestos para ser analizados proporcionarán información importante sobre la racionalización de los recursos y la optimización de los sistemas de construcción.The province of Misiones appears in Argentinean history characterized by multiple territorial disputes such as the Triple Alliance war and the biases linked to the industrial agricultural profile that was forged over decades with the consequent environmental somatization resulting from the depredation of flora and fauna through the advance of industrial production poles that still maintain their predominance in the socio-economic sphere of this province. This aspect has had an impact from the beginning on the question of housing demand, which has been resolved by different empirical means throughout the history of the province. As a consequence, there are antecedents in the field of housing which resulted in diverse construction systems, whose structural characteristics were ignored in quantitative terms, with this being accentuated in the field of social housing. The field of study of the building situation of single-family dwellings is extensive, due to the variety of materials offered in the masonry systems: solid bricks, hollow ceramic blocks, concrete blocks, as the most common. The problem with these construction systems lies in the lack of studies, at regional level, on the characterization of the mechanical behaviour of masonry. Starting from the fact that any continuous medium in contact with other bodies, it is necessary to transmit stresses, which somehow puts in second place the hypothesis of elements belonging to an "independent structure" of the construction system, since the configuration of the stress states goes from being included in the free body diagram to the vertical diaphragms constituted by the masonry walls, and its own behaviour can be affected by its interaction with other materials such as structural concrete, steel or wood. The aim of this work is to develop a methodology for the structural design of these buildings under the characteristic regional conditions. The analysis is framed in a type of hollow ceramic brick (LCH) masonry construction system. The selection of the prototype is carried out using the SWOT analysis method (a tool used to generate strategic thinking), in order to obtain the best result from a scientific and technological point of view. A process of numerical modelling and laboratory tests is then proposed that will allow the definition of models applicable to the structural analysis of regional construction systems, in order to establish optimization and design techniques for this type of structure. The work focuses on the possibility of providing information on the characteristic materials of the Mission area that are not structurally characterized and that form part of the construction market in the province. It will make it possible to define new horizons in terms of optimization for this type of materials. The topics proposed to be analyzed will provide important information on the rationalization of resources and the optimization of construction systems
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

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.
