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
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
The Construction of Traditional Chinese Horoscope Astrology--A Study of the Sociology of Knowledge
No full text這是一本知識社會學的研究論文，試圖透過知識社會學的概念工具來分析中國的星命術知識。「制度」（institution）和「正當化」（legitimation）是Peter Berger與Thomas Luckmann的知識社會學中「客體化知識」（object knowledge）部分的兩個重要概念。而這兩個問題都置放在歷史的脈絡當中來觀察。這是因為「知識社會學」所關懷的，在於社會情境與知識之間的關聯性。換句話說，一種知識必須要有與之相互對應的社會結構──「似真性結構」（plausibility structure）作為表裡，當這種似真性結構有所轉變，知識的內容也會跟著變化。而這一點對於包裹著古傳知識外衣的算命術知識來說特別有意義，這本論文試圖去證明的，正是算命術知識在歷史脈絡中的易變性。因此在這本論文中，社會角色和正當化這兩個部分都區分為古今兩個部分來對照。
本研究的研究架構主要分為兩個部分：第一個部分是星命術知識所反映的社會制度，由星命術當中的社會角色作為觀察的重點；第二個部分是星命術的正當化問題，討論的是星命術知識透過何種方式來建立自身的正當性，使它成為一種可以信服的知識。
本文依據天文史學界對於隋唐時代傳來的印度天文學「七曜術」的研究成果，認為星命術這種以出生年月日時繪製十二宮命盤來推算命運的知識結構是外來文化所傳入。這種外來的知識雛型如何形成本土流行的知識系統（本文稱為古代星命術），則是本研究古今對照中「古」的部分的關懷重點。而另一方面，當代台灣的紫微斗數（是星命術三大支流之一）在1980年以後開始盛行。當代台灣的勞動高度分工、社會角色快速流動、女性地位大幅提升，而「科學主義」以「科學方法」壟斷了知識的正當性，當代台灣的紫微斗數如何面對上述的挑戰，則是本文古今對照中「今」的部分的關懷重點。
透過社會制度與正當化問題的分析，本研究證明了算命術知識是不斷在變化的。新的社會角色如「職業婦女」的增加，「性格」討論的大幅擴張，以及「科學」用語與「科學」邏輯的加入作為新的正當化來源，都見證了算命術知識與時俱移的現象。本文認為，星命術知識（在一定的程度上）植基於人們在日常生活中不斷在經驗著的社會規則之上，而這種規則是人在外化、客體化與內化的社會過程當中所創造出來的。This is a study of the sociology of knowledge, which intends to analyze the traditional Chinese horoscope astrology with the conception tools of the discipline. Institutionalization and legitimation, two important conceptions in The Social Construction of Reality by Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann, are both observed under a historical sight as sociology of knowledge is concerned about the relation between the social situation and knowledge. In other words, knowledge needs a correspondent plausibility structure to support it. Contents of the knowledge changes after plausibility structure changes, which is very important for fortunetelling knowledge to be immemorial. In this thesis, I am trying to illustrate that fortunetelling knowledge is changing as time goes by.
The research structure has two parts. The first part is the social institution, which can be observed from social roles in the Chinese horoscope astrology. The second part is the legitimation issue, which deals with how the Chinese horoscope astrology legitimizing and convincing social rules to society.
According to the historians’ work from astronomy history, the Chinese horoscope astrology is probably imported from India around 5th -10th century. How the outside culture became localized is the main focus in this thesis. Another subject, Zi-Wei-Dou-Shu（紫微斗數）, one of the three branches of Chinese horoscope astrology, is popular in Taiwan since 1980. Now Modern Zi-Wei-Dou-Shu in Taiwan faces a different plausibility structure including complex labor division, fast-flowing social roles, growing women status, and the population of scientism resisting legitimation. How modern Taiwan Zi-Wei-Dou-Shu faces these challenges is another focus in this thesis.
By analyzing social institution and legitimation, this study proves fortunetelling knowledge changing all the time. The emergence of new roles such as career women, the expansion of the discussion of personal characteristics, and the citation of “science” as new source of legitimation confirm the proposition. Besides, the study also proves that the Chinese horoscope astrology knowledge is based on the social rules, which people create through the approach of externalization, objectivation, and internalization in everyday life.目錄

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.
