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
LENGUAJES DE LA POLÍTICA. MÁS ALLÁ DE LAS PALABRAS
No full textA través de sus representaciones, los discursos políticos, tan presentes en nuestra sociedad moderna, contribuyen a crear el espacio público y, de manera más o menos explícita, intentan difundir tendencias ideológicas. Esta es una de las razones por las que los lenguajes permiten ser analizados desde múltiples dimensiones. La escritura y la edición de este libro responde al creciente interés que se está desarrollando alrededor de este tema y nace de la convicción de que en un mundo que cambia continuamente es necesario enfocar la evolución de la cuestión. Ya que la temática aborda un campo muy amplio, en esta breve introducción es preciso distinguir cuáles son los varios sentidos con los que identificamos la expresión del título Lenguajes de la política. En el volumen se quiere trazar un plan según el cual el lenguaje por una parte se considera como el uso lingüístico propio de las actividades políticas (incluso de la política lingüística) y por otra, se considera también como lo que es propiamente político y se presenta como dimensión peculiar del lenguaje mismo: lenguaje de la política y política del lenguaje, así como política y lenguaje caracterizados por su germen manipulativo. En la ideación de una estructura coherente, el plano del libro se estructura en dos grandes bloques: sección de lengua y sección de literatura. Se amplía el discurso sobre la relación lengua y política al campo literario, en 8 Introducción obras en las cuales la conexión entre los dos términos se convierte en elemento determinante. Dentro de las diferentes facetas en las que se puede declinar el tema elegido como hilo conductor del presente volumen, caben varios aspectos que participan de la indisoluble relación entre palabra, política y literatura. En este caso, focalizamos el significado del término ‘política’ a través de su raíz etimológica -πολις-, es decir, en el aspecto más bien relacionado con la esfera pública, social y, consecuentemente, historicizada, del discurso político mismo, y, por eso, trasmisible a través de diferentes ‘medios de comunicación’ social -la palabra escrita en los periódicos, en las obras literarias, en los guiones teatrales y cinematográficos-. Nos enfrentamos con obras y autores que utilizan la palabra, el lenguaje, a partir de sus posiciones éticas -pues políticas-, para informar, denunciar, testimoniar del abuso político actuado sobre grupos disidentes en determinados momentos históricos; para reivindicar el papel social de grupos o segmentos sociales excluidos de su contexto activo; para reflexionar e incluso proponer un análisis diacrónico desde dentro, es decir, una lectura más objetiva que busca evidenciar las responsabilidades de los cuadros directivos de la militancia de izquierda que cooperaron a su derrota política, sus errores y su falta de una visión realística de la realidad en su momento, sus divisiones internas que quitaron fuerza a la oposición armada en contra del terrorismo de Estado, en países de habla castellana, de un lado a otro del Atlántico. Nada más, ni menos, que una variada muestra de las diferentes matizaciones que adquiere el lenguaje en su contexto cívico, colectivo, dentro del concepto amplio y moderno de πολις, donde la experiencia personal –de militancia política, de detención forzada, de lucha intelectual para la justicia social- pretende abarcar toda una sociedad en un preciso momento histórico. Todo eso se funda en la palabra. Una palabra que se hace expresión privilegiada de un momento social ben definido, implicando así el recurso a un léxico altamente historicizado que se carga, a menudo si no siempre, de un enorme valor simbólico, capaz de movilizar masas o de crear consensos políticos, hasta cambiar profundamente la visión ético-política misma de una sociedad. Hay, incluso, quien se interroga sobre la sobrevivencia de esa carga simbólica con el paso del tiempo y en contextos históricos mudados, si la fuerza argumentativa de la palabra expresamente codificada por grupos políticos en un ‘aquí’ y ‘ahora’ definidos, se guarde más allá de aquel momento y lugar en los que ella se impuso como Palabra Política con mayúsculas

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.
