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
Best Practices in European Media Literacy Regulation
Full text linkAlthough media literacy is not a new concept, it is currently experiencing heightened prominence, driven by the widespread dissemination of disinformation through social media, which has raised concerns among public authorities. This article examines European audiovisual legislation to identify best practices that stand out, offering insights into the direction media literacy implementation is taking from a public administration perspective. Funding media literacy initiatives, assuring that these include persons with special needs and families, making efforts to measure their effectiveness and collaboration with others emerge as best practices from the analysis. Given that these laws have a direct impact on everyday life through various national legislative measures, the findings of this study may be of interest to all stakeholders involved in media literacy implementation, including policymakers, researchers, and practitioners.Si bien la alfabetización mediática no es un concepto nuevo, en la actualidad ha adquirido una mayor relevancia debido a la amplia difusión de la desinformación a través de las redes sociales, lo que ha generado preocupación entre las autoridades públicas. Este artículo analiza la legislación audiovisual europea con el propósito de identificar las mejores prácticas destacadas, proporcionando una visión sobre la dirección que está tomando la implementación de la alfabetización mediática desde la perspectiva de la administración pública. Financiar iniciativas de alfabetización mediática, garantizando que incluyan a personas con necesidades especiales y familias, haciendo esfuerzos para medir su eficacia y colaborar con otros, emergen como las mejores prácticas a partir del análisis. Dado que estas normativas inciden directamente en la vida cotidiana a través de diversas medidas legislativas nacionales, los hallazgos de este estudio pueden resultar de interés para todos los actores involucrados en la implementación de la alfabetización mediática, incluidos los responsables de la formulación de políticas, los investigadores y los profesionales del sector.Bien que l’éducation aux médias ne soit pas un concept nouveau, elle connaît actuellement une importance accrue en raison de la large diffusion de la désinformation sur les réseaux sociaux, ce qui suscite des préoccupations parmi les autorités publiques. Cet article examine la législation audiovisuelle européenne afin d’identifier les meilleures pratiques qui se distinguent, offrant ainsi un aperçu de l’orientation prise par la mise en œuvre de l’éducation aux médias du point de vue de l’administration publique. Financer des initiatives d'éducation aux médias, en veillant à inclure les personnes ayant des besoins spéciaux et les familles, en s'efforçant de mesurer leur efficacité et de collaborer avec d'autres, émerge comme une meilleure pratique issue de l'analyse. Étant donné que ces lois ont un impact direct sur la vie quotidienne à travers diverses mesures législatives nationales, les résultats de cette étude peuvent être d’un grand intérêt pour l’ensemble des acteurs impliqués dans la mise en œuvre de l’éducation aux médias, y compris les décideurs politiques, les chercheurs et les professionnels du secteur.Embora a literacia midiática não seja um conceito novo, atualmente está ganhando maior destaque devido à disseminação generalizada de desinformação através das redes sociais, o que tem gerado preocupações entre as autoridades públicas.

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.
