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
Dynamic Model for Campaign Strategy: The Case of Candidate Ying-jeou Ma in Taiwan’s 2008 Presidential Election
No full text本研究整合了政治學、傳播學、行銷理論及組織人際網絡觀點，建構一個理論性的「動態模型」，描述由候選人團隊組成的「競選系統」，在所處的戰場環境中，如何透過戰情分析、戰略擬定、空中轟炸與地面作戰的戰術執行、戰鬥攻擊等，與競爭者的策略一起對選民發生作用，這些作用經由回饋效應，重塑戰場環境，讓候選人擬定新策略，不斷循環，直到投票日當天分出勝負爲止。
筆者以2008年總統選舉進行時的「觀察法」爲經、選舉結束後的「訪談法」爲緯，經由質化研究法，證明動態模型確實可解釋競選策略的制定過程；另一方面，筆者以選舉民意調查的「個體資料」爲主、村里開票紀錄的「總體資料」爲輔，透過統計方法，分別驗證空中轟炸與地面作戰的策略效果。
質化與量化並重的研究發現，「青春鐵馬」與「LONG STAY」對馬英九的候選人定位，確實產生部分效果，但這些效果以維持爲主，並未開拓新票源；「一中市場」或「返聯公投」降低馬英九被抹紅的風險，化解了競爭者的攻擊力道；「綠卡事件」與「藍委踢館事件」衝擊不大，只是短期效應，競爭者只達到鞏固原本選票的目的。整體來說，馬英九從2007年7月至2008年2月，空中轟炸戰術的淨策略效果，大約是7.0個百分點。
在地面作戰方面，馬英九的組織動員除了鞏固傳統國民黨地盤，還有效地突破民進黨的封鎖，在藍綠競爭激烈區、淺綠區都能領先競爭者，是致勝關鍵。This research tries to construct a “Dynamic Model” for campaign strategy by integrating theories in political science, communications, marketing, and social networking. Candidates in intense elections have to campaign by analyzing battleground situation, formulating strategies, executing air bombardment and ground war tactics, launch combat in order to impact their voters. These attempts affect the voters, restructure the battleground, and in return, help the candidates to reformulate new strategies. These campaigns strategies follow an ongoing circular motion that only comes to a halt on the election day.
The study employed qualitative research methods to show that the “Dynamic Model” can indeed formulate the process of campaign decisions during the 2008 presidential election in Taiwan. The research is based on interviews with campaign managers and staffs of candidate Ma and numerous first-hand observations as a major newspaper correspondent to the election. With statistical data collected from election polls and data of election results, the study tries to exemplify the corresponding effects from the air bombardment and ground war tactics.
The analysis shows that both “Young Cycling” and “Long Stay” campaigns only sustained voters’ support but failed to expand significantly. Strategies made in “One-China Market” and “Return to the U.N. Referendum” were effective in confusing DPP’s strategies and keeping Ma from discredit. Incidents in “The Green Card Controversy” and “Blue Legislators Intrusion into Rival Campaign Office” were proved to have only short-term impact and did not crumble Ma’s support. In brief, from July 2007 to February 2008, net campaign effect of Ma’s air bombardment tactics were estimated to have a 7 percentage point gain.
In terms of ground war tactics, Ma’s strategies not only effectively secure supports from pan-blue areas but also significantly ambush pan-green territories. Ma’s final lead in light-green and break-even areas turns out to be the key factor of his landslide victory
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.
