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
24 Ocak 2020 Elaziğ-Sivrice 6.8 Büyüklüğündeki Deprem Zemin Saha Etkilerinin Değerlendirilmesi
No full textAt 8:55 p.m. local time (17:55 GMT) on January 24, the Sivrice district of Elazig, located on Turkey's second-largest fault system, was struck by a severe earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 (AFAD) or 6.7 according to USGS. Tragically, the earthquake resulted in severe devastation, including structural damage and fatalities. In order to aid in the mitigation of potential earthquake damage that may occur in the region and to serve as a guide for site-specific seismic design for future earthquakes, the seismic site effects of the earthquake were assessed.
Within the scope of this study, the assessments of seismic site effects during the 2020 Sivrice-Elazig earthquake were undertaken following mainly three stages; (i) the performance of seismic site response analyses, (ii) the investigation of soil liquefaction hazard, and (iii) the construction of seismic zonation maps. Geotechnical and geophysical data were acquired prior to initiating the study. A total number of 210 boreholes were included in the study and were used to create the idealized soil profile. The strong ground motion shaking of Elazig-Sivrice event, recorded by a total of seven strong ground motion stations (SGMS), was then calibrated and scaled locally in order to generate the rock motion needed in the site-specific seismic response analysis. Additionally, Deepsoil software was used to conduct the seismic site response analysis, whereas the Cetin et al. (2000, 2004, 2018) approach was adapted for the soil liquefaction study. Finally, the seismic parameters collected from the aforementioned analyses were used in the construction of the seismic zonation of Elazig-Center. This was accomplished by developing peak ground acceleration (PGA), spectral acceleration (Sa), and soil liquefaction hazard maps. Finally, recommendations for assessing seismic hazard for the Elazig-Center district were developed as part of this study's conclusion. As a word of caution, geotechnical data culled from the literature was assumed to be valid and representative throughout the analysis; therefore, any inaccuracies in the adopted geotechnical data can alter the results.24 Ocak 2020 tarihinde yerel saat ile 20:55’te (17:55 GMT), Türkiye'nin en büyük ikinci fay hattı üzerinde yer alan Elazığ'ın Sivrice ilçesinde, USGS'ye göre 6.7 veya AFAD'a göre 6.8 büyüklüğünde şiddetli bir deprem meydana gelmiştir. Ne yazık ki deprem, can kaybı ve hasarla birlikte bölgede şiddetli bir yıkıma neden olmuştur. Bölgede meydana gelebilecek olası deprem hasarlarının en aza indirgenmesine yardımcı olmak ve gelecekteki depremler için sahaya özel sismik tasarım rehberi olması amacıyla, depremin sismik alan etkileri değerlendirilmiştir.
Bu çalışma kapsamında, 2020 Sivrice-Elazığ Depremi sismik alan etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi başlıca üç aşamada gerçekleştirilmiştir; (i) sismik zemin tepki analizleri, (ii) zemin sıvılaşması riskinin araştırılması ve (iii) sismik mikrobölgelendirme haritalarının oluşturulması. Çalışmaya başlamadan önce, ilk olarak jeoteknik ve jeofizik veriler edinilmiştir. İdeal zemin profilini oluşturabilmek için 210 adet sondaj kuyusunun verileri çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Daha sonra, toplam yedi deprem kayıt istasyonu (SGMS) tarafından kaydedilen Sivrice-Elazığ Depremi’nin kuvvetli yer hareketi sarsıntısı, sahaya özel sismik tepki analizi için gerekli olan kaya hareketini oluşturmak için yerel olarak ölçeklendirilmiş ve kalibre edilmiştir. Ek olarak, sismik zemin tepki analizlerini yapmak için Deepsoil programı kullanılırken, zemin sıvılaşması çalışmalarını yapmak için Cetin vd. (2000, 2004 ve 2018) methodu uygulanmıştır. Yukarıda bahsedilen analizlerden elde edilen sismik parametreler Elazığ-Merkez’in sismik mikrobölgelendirilmesinin oluşturulmasında kullanılmıştır. En büyük yer ivmesi (PGA), spektral ivme (Sa) ve zemin sıvılaşma riski haritaları geliştirilmiştir. Son olarak, bu çalışmanın bir sonucu olarak Elazığ-Merkez’in sismik tehlikesinin değerlendirilmesi için öneriler geliştirilmiştir. Bir uyarı: Literatürden toplanan jeoteknik verilerin analiz boyunca geçerli ve temsili olduğu varsayıldığı için, bu verilerdeki herhangi bir yanlışlık sonuçları değiştirebilir.M.S. - Master of Scienc
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.
