Offshoot: Contemporary Life Writing Methodologies and Practice
No full textBrien, DL ORCiD: 0000-0002-9005-3645Offshoot includes essays in life writing methodologies and approaches, as well as a series of creative work – poetry and prose – that engages with current life writing. This collection highlights the development and influence of the genre in the twenty-first century.
Starting from the premise that life writing is a significant component of both contemporary artistic practice and scholarship, Offshoot provides a necessary re-evaluation of the mode, its contemporary sub-generic incarnations, as well as methodological and practical approaches. The book presents research on a wide range of approaches, including both traditional areas such as literature and creative writing and areas that have not previously been associated with life writing scholarship.
With its multifaceted readings, Offshoot signals a shift in life writing research tending towards an expansive, hybrid, experimental, and rhizomic approach

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric assessment of the Portuguese language version of the Eating and Appraisal due to Emotions and Stress (EADES) Questionnaire in Brazilian adults
No full textPurposes To develop a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Eating and Appraisal due to Emotions and Stress (EADES)
Questionnaire and estimate the psychometric properties of the EADES factorial model for young Brazilian adults and also
to assess the association between EADES factors and age, body mass index (BMI), and economic level.
Methods The cross-cultural adaptation was performed using a standardized protocol. The psychometric properties were
assessed separately for each sex. A structural model for each sex was developed to investigate the influence of age, economic
level, and BMI on the EADES factors.
Results A total of 1240 participants completed the study [65.8% female, mean age 23.91 (SD = 5.03) years]. The EADES
original factorial model did not present good psychometric properties. Then, a factorial model proposed for a Mexican sample
was tested and a different model was fitted for each sex. The results showed that younger women have lower self-efficacy
and self-confidence and poorer assessment of resources and coping skills. Women with a higher economic level have lower
self-efficacy. Higher BMI was associated with lower self-efficacy and self-confidence in both sexes. Younger men have lower
self-efficacy and poorer assessment of resources and coping skills.
Conclusions The Brazilian Portuguese version of the EADES provided valid and reliable data after refinement, and a different
model was fitted for each sex. Sex, age, BMI, and economic level were significantly associated with the EADES factors.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Inferring and Visualizing Social Networks on Internet Relay Chat
No full textInternet Relay Chat is a system that allows groups of people to collaborate and chat from anywhere in the world. Clearly defined by several RFC documents, it is arguably the most standard real-time chat system currently in use. This paper describes a method of inferring the social network of a group of IRC users in a channel. An IRC bot is used to monitor a channel and perform a heuristic analysis of events to create a mathematical approximation of the social network. From this, the bot can produce a visualization of the inferred social network on demand. These visualizations reveal the structure of the social network, highlighting connectivity, clustering and strengths of relationships between users. Animated output allows viewers to see the evolution of the social network over time. Some novel ideas for future work are discussed, showing other useful applications of this system
