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
Optimal public debt management: Micro and macro approaches
No full textKamu borç yönetimi, belirili bir zamanda ve belirli bir risk düzeyinde kamu borçlanma maliyetlerini minimize eden bir strateji oluşturma sürecidir. Etkin bir şekilde yönetilen kamu borcu, ülkede ekonomik istikrarın sağlanmasında rol oynayan önemli faktörlerden biridir. Bu nedenle optimal bir kamu borç yönetimi, kamu borcunun sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlayan kamu borç portföyünün oluşturulmasını, borç sürdürülebilirliğini etkileyen makro ekonomik faktörlerin ortaya konulmasını gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu noktadan harketle tezin iki amacı bulunmaktadır. Bu amaçlar, kamu borç yönetimini hem mikro hem de makro yaklaşım çerçevesinde incelemektir. Kamu borç yönetiminin mikro yaklaşım çerçevesinde incelendiği bölümde, 2005:01-2017:12 dönemi için ülke risk priminin yüksek ve düşük olduğu dönemlerde Türkiye'de optimal kamu borç portföyünün nasıl oluşturulması gerektiğini belirlemeyi amaçladım. Bu kapsamda kamu borçlanma araçlarına ve kamu borçlanma maliyetlerine ilişkin riskler ortaya konulmuş, daha sonra ülke risk priminin yüksek ve düşük olduğu dönemlerde belirli bir risk düzeyinde borçlanma maliyetlerini minimize eden optimal kamu borç portföyleri oluşturulmuştur. Yapılan analiz sonucunda, ülke risk priminin yüksek ve düşük olduğu dönemlerde değişken faizli borçlanma senetlerinin riskinin yüksek olduğu; buna karşın, sabit faizli ve enflasyon endeksli iç borçlanma senetlerine ilişkin risklerin ise düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar, ülke risk priminin yüksek olduğu rejimde kamu borcunun optimal bir şekilde yönetilebilmesi için vade oranının kısaltılmasını, portföy içinde sabit faizli iç borçlanma senetlerinin oranını arttırmasınıve değişken faizli borçlanma senetlerinin payının azaltılmasını; ülke risk priminin düşük olduğu dönemlerde ise vade oranının uzatılması, sabit faizli ve TUFE endeksli senetlerin payının arttırılmasını ve değişken faizli borçlanma senetlerinin payının azaltılması gerektiğini göstermektedir. Kamu borç yönetiminin makro yaklaşım çerçevesinde incelendiği bölümde, 1994:Q1-2017Q4 dönemi için Türkiye'de kamu borcunun sürdürülebilirliğini ve kamu borcunun sürdürülebilirliğinin yüksek ve düşük olduğu rejimlerde makro ekonomik faktörlerin kamu borç sürdürülebilirliğini nasıl etkilediğini ortaya koymayı, Türkiye için optimal kamu borç düzeyini ve optimal kamu borç düzeyini elde edebilmek amacıyla temel ekonomik değişkenlere ilişkin oranların ne olması gerektiğini belirlemeyi amaçladım. Analiz sonucunda, Türkiye'de kamu borcunun sürdürülebilir bir yapı sergilemesine karşın, ekonomik kriz ve seçim dönemlerinde kamu borcunun sürdürülebilirliğinin azaldığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca Türkiye'de optimal kamu borç stoku/GSYH oranının %47.23; bu optimal oranı elde edebilmek için ise enflasyon oranının %11.3'ün altında, ekonomik büyüme oranının %5.89'un üzerinde ve politika faiz oranını temsilen kullanılan interbank faiz oranının ise %16.85'in altında olması gerektiği bulunmuştur. Kamu borcunun sürdürülebilir bir yapıda olduğu rejimde, dışa açıklık oranı, enflasyon oranı, vergi oranlarının bütçe içindeki payı ve bütçe dengesi kamu borcunun sürdürülebilirliğini pozitif yönde etkilerken, ekonomik ve politik risk negatif olarak etkilemektedir. Kamu borcunun sürdürülemez bir yapı sergilediği rejimde, ekonomik büyüme oranı ve dışa açıklık oranı kamu borcunun sürdürülebilirliği üzerinde pozitif etkiye sahipken, enflasyon oranı, politik risk ve dolar kurundaki oynaklık ise negatif etkiye sahiptir.Public debt management is a strategy formation process minimizing public borrowing costs at a certain risk level at a given time. Public debt managed effectively is one of the most important factors which play a role in providing economic stability in an economy. Therefore, optimal public debt management requires to create public debt portfolio supporting debt sustainability and to exhibite the macroeconomic factors affecting debt sustainability. From this point of view, my thesis have two purposes. These are to examine public debt management in both micro and macro approaches. In the chapter I investigated public debt management in terms of micro approach, I aimed to determine how to create optimal public debt portfolio in Turkey for the regimes credit default swap is both high and low over the period of 2005:01-2017:12. In this context, it was presented the risks regarding to public borrowing instruments and the apparent costs of government debt, then created optimal public debt minimizing borrowing costs at a given risk level for the periods when credit default swap is both high and low. From the result of the analysis, it followed that TRY denominated floating rate bonds have high risk; however, TRY denominated fixed couponed bonds and TRY denominated CPI indexed bonds have low risk in the periods when credit default swap is both high and low. The results show that maturity should be shorten, the share of TRY denominated fixed couponed should be increased and the share of TRY denominated floating rate bonds should be decreased in the public debt portfolio to be managed optimally for public debt in the regime credit default swap is high. In the regime credit default swap is low, maturity should be extended, he shares of TRY denominated fixed couponed and TRY denominated CPI indexed bonds should be increased, and the share of TRY denominated floating rate bonds should be decreased as well. In the chapter I investigated public debt management in terms of macro approach, I aimed to investigate public debt sustainability in Turkey, to exhibit how macroeconomic factors affect it in the regimes that public debt sustainability is both high and low, to determine optimal public debt level and what the ratios regarding main economic indicators should be to acquire optimal public debt level over the period of 1994:Q1-2017:Q4. The results of analysis show that public debt sustainability decrease in economic crisis and electoral periods despite the fact that government debt have sustainability structure in Turkey. Besides, it was found to be %47.23 for optimal public debt/GDP ratio. Also, economic growth should be above %5.89, inflation rate and interbank rate should be respectively below %11.3 and %16.85 to acquire so-called ratio. In the regime government debt is sustainability, trade openness, inflation rate, the share of tax rate in budget and budget balance impact positively public debt sustainability while economic and political risk influence adversely. In the regime government debt is unsustainability, economic growth and trade openness have positive effect on public debt sustainability; however, political risk and exchange rate volatility have negative effects

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.
