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
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
Den stuttrova sauen -vevde bekledningsstoffer av ull fra gammalnorsk spælsau
Full text linkDenne avhandlingen handler om den gammalnorske spælsauen og dens plass i norske historiske og nåværende tekstiltradisjoner. Det er undersøkt hvilke praksiser vi har hatt i bearbeidingen fra ull til ferdig vevde bekledningsstoffer i perioden 1780-1900, for å se om det er glemte teknikker som kan være nyttige for oss i dagens tekstilproduksjon. Det historiske materialet som legges fram representerer en oversikt over og en utdyping i forhold til kunnskapen som hittil har vært allment tilgjengelig innenfor dette området. Det er funnet enkelte forskjeller i tekstilpraksisene rundt den gammalnorske spælsauen i forhold til nyere crossbredsauer, blant annet at den har vært klipt flere ganger i året enn andre saueraser. Et annet funn er at det ser ut til å være en sammenheng mellom vadmel i vevbindingen treskaftet kypert og gammalnorsk spælsau. Det ser ut til å være et underutnyttet potensiale i de spesifikke mulighetene denne ulla har i dagens produksjon for å valkes til holdbare, varme og bærekraftige stoffer. Avhandlingen presenterer utvikling av nye garntyper og veving av vadmel som mulige løsninger i forhold til en bedre ressursutnyttelse av ulla fra gammalnorsk spælsau.
Undersøkelsene bygger på analyser av innsamlet materiale i Anna Grostøls samlinger, bestående av tekstilprøver og intervjuer med informanter som levde på 1800-tallet. I tillegg er tilgjengelig historisk og lokalhistorisk litteratur fra ulike deler av landet gjennomgått og det er gjennomført en registrering av vevbindinger i et utvalg av Drammens museums tekstilsamling.
Det har stått sentralt i prosjektet å undersøke hvilke muligheter den dobbelte fellen til spælsauen har gitt oss historisk og hvilket mulighetsrom vi har ved bruk av den i dag. Gjennom praktisk arbeid med håndveving, har det blitt rekonstruert en vevd vadmelskvalitet fra 1800-tallet og det er vevd eksempler på bekledningstekstiler for bruk i dag.This master’s thesis investigates the Norwegian Old Spæl Sheep with double coated fleece and its place in historical and current norwegian textile traditions. The thesis examines historical practices for processing wool to finished cloth in the period from 1780 to 1900 in order to uncover techniques that could be useful in today’s textile production. The historical material introduced provides an overview of, and makes new contributions to available knowledge in this area. Some differences between historical textile practices connected with wool from Norwegian Old Spæl Sheep and breeds with uniform, single coated wool have been uncovered. One of these is that the Norwegian Old Spæl Sheep was shorn more times per year than other sheep breeds. A possible connection has also been found between the vadmal fabric woven with a 3-shaft twill and this traditional sheep breed. There seems to be an underutilized potential in the specific possibilities this wool has for felting into durable, warm and sustainable fabrics. The thesis recommends the development of new yarn types and the weaving of vadmal as possible solutions to achieve a better resource utilization of Norwegian Old Spæl Sheep wool.
The study is based on analyses of collected historical material from the Anna Grostøl collection, consisting of textile samples and interviews with informants who lived in the 19th century. In addition to this, available historical and local historical written sources have been reviewed and a registration of weave patterns in a selection of Drammen’s museum’s textile collection has been carried out.
A central aim of this project has been to investigate what affordances the dual coated fleece has given us historically and what posibilities it might give us today. Through practical work with hand weaving, woven vadmal from the 19th century has been reconstructed and woven examples of fabrics suitable for contemporary clothing have been made

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.
