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
A questão da vida em Paul Ricoeur
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia, Florianópolis, 2014.Esta tese trata da questão da vida em Paul Ricoeur. A investigação baseia-se na tese geral que existem diversas noções de vida em Paul Ricoeur e que elas dizem respeito ao homem, o que as vincula à antropologia filosófica. Além disso, as noções de vida devem ser consideradas dentro de uma abordagem contextual de acordo com as discussões filosóficas propostas por Ricoeur ao longo dos anos. Do ponto de vista metodológico, procura-se expor e discutir as noções de vida a partir de textos do filósofo, sendo que a bibliografia de referência consiste em Le volontaire et l?involontaire, Finitude et culpabilité, Le conflit des interprétations, Temps et récit e Soi-même comme autre. Partindo de Le volontaire et l?involontaire expõe-se inicialmente o projeto da fenomenologia da vontade acerca das categorias de voluntário e involuntário, que estruturam as possibilidades do homem. Mostra-se como a vida constitui um dos elementos do involuntário juntamente com inconsciente e o caráter. No segundo capítulo, trata-se da antropologia da falibilidade através da infinitude e finitude do homem, destacando-se o corpo como abertura finita para o mundo. A seguir procura-se mostrar como a vida é considerada um símbolo junto à linguagem da confissão. Além disso, retoma-se as noções de vida como involuntário absoluto e involuntário relativo à vida, presentes em Le volontaire et l?involontaire, e como isto se coaduna com o respeito como síntese prática. Por fim, apresenta-se como o homem, sobre a base da unidade vital, exprime sua dualidade humana pela afetividade. O terceiro capítulo centra-se sobre a crítica ricoeuriana a ideia de cogito e o enxerto da hermenêutica na fenomenologia. Apresenta-se as linhas gerais da via longa da compreensão ricoeuriana em oposição à via curta da ontologia da compreensão heideggeriana e como o filósofo francês encontra em Dilthey uma via para a compreensão de si através da objetivação da vida pelo texto. Por fim, o quarto capítulo, parte do problema da identidade pessoal e do conceito de identidade narrativa. Explica-se o simbolismo imanente da ação e o simbolismo narrativo como categoria do simbolismo explícito. Finalmente, explicita-se como a narração contribui para a configuração da história de vida.Abstract : This thesis deals with the life issue in Paul Ricoeur. The investigation is based on the general thesis that there are several notions of life in Paul Ricoeur and that they are about man, which relates them to philosophical anthropology. Besides that, the notions of life must be considered within a contextual approach that follows the philosophical discussions proposed by Ricoeur along the years. From a methodological point of view, the thesis aims at exposing and discussing the notions of life in the philosopher's texts, comprising a bibliography which includes Le volontaire et l'involontaire, Finitude et culpabilité, Le conflit des interprétations, Temps et récit, and Soi-même comme autre. The project of the phenomenology of the will on categories of voluntary and involuntary, which structures man's possibilities, is initially exposed departing from Le volontaire et l'involontaire. It is shown how life constitutes one of the elements of the involuntary along with unconsciousness and character. In the second chapter, the anthropology of fallibility is approached through the concepts of human infinity and finitude, emphasizing the body as a finite window to the world. The following chapter is intended to show how life is considered a symbol in the language of confession. Additionally, the notions of life as absolute involuntary and involuntary related to life, present in Le volontaire et l?involontaire, and how they coadunate with respect as practical synthesis are revised. Ultimately, it is presented how man expresses its human duality for affectivity on the basis of vital unity. The third chapter is focused on the ricoeurian criticism to the idea of cogito and the insertion of hermeneutics into phenomenology. General lines regarding the long way of ricoeurian comprehension is presented in opposition to the short way of Heidegger's comprehension ontology as well as how the French philosopher finds in Dilthey a way for self comprehension by life objectification through the text. Finally, the fourth chapter focuses on the issue of personal identity and the concept of narrative identity. The symbolism immanent of action and the narrative symbolism are explained as categories of explicit symbolism. Lastly, it is explained how narrative contributes to the configuration of life history
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

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.
