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
Letter from Charles N. Elliot to John Muir, 1913 Jan 15.
Get PDFJanuary 15,1913.Dear Mr. Muir:-The copy of your little BIG book E.H.Harriman arrived last week. I had not expected you to send me one yourself,but hoped merely that you would write the publishers to consider me a librarian,to the end that I might obtain a copy.Needless,however,for me to say how much more I prize this book which has been handled by its author and which contains the inscription in his handwriting. I truly thank you.I trust that you will receive the little calendar which I had my daughter,Romaine,paint and make up for you. It is nothing - but let it be, as it is,a small but visible token of the love and admiration in which you are held in our household.With sincere regards,believe me,everhttps://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/jmcl/42742/thumbnail.jp
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
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
Letter from Charles N. Elliot to John Muir, [ca.1912 ?].
Get PDFCharles N. ElliotArchitect325 Failing Building,Portland, Oregon,Dear Mr. Muir:I am at a loss how to adequately express my appreciation of your gift of Stickeen , which has just reached me.I would that I might in some more tangible way than words, show you how deeply your delicate kindness affects me. I have always loved your story of the little dog companion of your dangerous Alaskan adventure, and the book containing it — a gift from its writer will ever be one of my most prized possessions. As 1 have said, I wish it were possible to show my appreciation in some other way than a mere letter — but I cannot in any way give you the pleasure your act has given me, so much remain in your debt, not alone for this gift but for your good letter, your inscription in My First Summer in the Sierra and the perennial pleasure and help your writings bring to me. You see I am hopelessly in your debt.Regarding Stickeen —not alone to you is his little dog-soul immortal, but your touching tale has made him a member of that immortal animal company to which belongs Rab and His Friends , Black Beauty and others whose soul-workings have been revealed to us by sympathetic human eyes and pens.I had intended writing you for one more favor -- which I now hesitate to ask — in view of your generosity, but feel impelled ro risk troubling you, though I hope to be forgiven. I noted in a New York paper that you-had written an appreciation of Mr. E. H« Harriman, published by Doubleday, Page & Co. for distribution to public libraries only not obtainable by purchase at the bookstore or elsewhere. I had our Library obtain a copy for their shelves and have it before me as I write, but I would like a copy of my very own, not only because of its author, but also because of its subject. Mr. Harriman always seemed to me one of America\u27s real noblemen. If I could buy the book I would not ask what I do -- but, under the circumstances, may I hope that you will write the publishers to send me a copy? If there is any reason why this is not to your liking, forgive me and disregard my request.I enclose a copy of my daughter\u27s Class Poem which is an exact expression of the sweet child herself.The thoughts are all her own, and while the composition lacks artistic finish, it is interesting as the expression of a sweet, beautiful and unspoiled nature.Again thanking you and with affectionate regards,Ever faithfully yours,Charles M.
