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
Do limiar da casa ao olho da rua: crianças e adolescentes em situação de risco e suas histórias de leitura - das práticas singulares à pluralidade do olhar da ciência da informação
Get PDFBring an object of study the experiences and stories read by children and adolescents at risk immersed. Experiences are relevant in building values and codes of life of each. These are readings that turn, widen the life forms of dialogues and experiences, leading readers to think usual and unpredictable. Considers reading as a source and form of ownership of information and knowledge, which favors the construction of ideas and actions to encourage the reader to (re) construct against the adversities of life. Its aims to analyze the influences of reading, coming from the non-formal education specifically NGOs in the world of life of children and adolescent supported by the Casa Pequeno Davis and Aldeias Infantis SOS in João Pessoa Paraíba, Northeast Brazil. Builds the theoretical foundation, socio-historically with inherent information pertaining to children, adolescents and their rights. Articulates the intersection of the domains between the field of reading and information science to understand the formation process of self-citizen player from the cognitive and social, it is part of the action to read in the context of education is not formal.Uses the qualitative approach, the phenomenological method, etnomethodological guidelines to subsidize the route methodological research. Uses participant observation, interview supported in sensitive listening and drawings commented; life story topical. Concludes that the practices of readings taken in the House Small David and SOS Children's Villages are directly related to the proposed inclusion and rehabilitation of children and adolescents participating in their social projects, since the information mediated by reading compose a knowledge that leads to autonomy, resilience and empowerment. Highlights the need to expand discourses in the field of information science, reading and relating to your readers, as is its use, and what is its effect on the lives of people with trajectories minority access to reading. Means creating a discursive field in Information Science, or a space fruitful discuss policies to encourage reading with proposals that do not restrain and imprison the subject-reader, but ensure the rehabilitation, citizenship and dignified life for underprivileged extracts, social, political and culturallyTraz como objeto de estudo as experiências e as histórias de leitura de crianças e adolescente imersas em situação de risco. São experiências relevantes na construção de valores e de repertórios de vida de cada um. São leituras que transformam, alargam-se na vida em formas de diálogos e vivências, levando leitores a pensar o habitual e o imprevisível. Considera a leitura, como fonte e forma de apropriação de informação e de conhecimento, que oportuniza a construção de ideias e ações para favorecer o leitor a se (re) construir diante das adversidades da vida. Objetiva analisar as influências da leitura, advinda da educação não- formal especificamente de ONGS no mundo de vida de crianças e jovens amparadas pela Casa Pequeno e pelas Aldeias Infantis SOS, em João Pessoa Paraíba, Nordeste do Brasil. Constrói a fundamentação teórica sócio-historicamente com informações inerentes à infância, à adolescência e aos seus direitos. Articula a interseção dos domínios entre o campo da leitura e da Ciência da Informação para entender o processo de formação do eucidadão leitor, a partir de características cognitivas e sociais, em que se insere a ação de ler no contexto da educação não-formal. Recorre à abordagem qualitativa, ao método fenomenológico, às orientações etnometodológicas para subsidiar o percurso metodológico da pesquisa. Utiliza a observação participante; entrevista apoiada na escuta sensível e nos desenhos comentados; história de vida tópica. Conclui que as práticas de leituras realizadas na Casa Pequeno Davi e nas Aldeias Infantis SOS estão diretamente relacionadas às propostas de inclusão e ressocialização de crianças e adolescentes participantes dos seus projetos sociais, uma vez que, as informações mediadas pela leitura compõem um saber que leva à autonomia, a resiliência e ao empoderamento. Evidencia a necessidade de ampliar discursos no campo da Ciência da Informação, relativos à leitura e seus leitores, como ocorre o seu uso, e qual o seu efeito na vida de pessoas com trajetórias minoritárias ao acesso a leitura. Significa criar um campo discursivo na Ciência da Informação, ou seja, um espaço profícuo para discutir políticas de incentivo a leitura com propostas que não coíbam e aprisionem o sujeito-leitor, mas garantam a ressocialização, a cidadania e vida digna para extratos desprivilegiados, social, política e culturalmente
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

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.
