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
Improvisation through capoeira songs in clarinet initiation: a pedagogical approach
No full textThe theme of this thesis is the inclusion of improvisation in the initiation of the clarinet. It is a research aimed at experimenting with a set of didactic strategies for improvisation in music (CEDIM) based on capoeira music and aimed at the initiation of the instrument. This pedagogical approach consists of activities that seek first, through the use of recordings, the internalization and memorization of rhythmic accompaniment and melody, and then, work on improvisation. This work used the qualitative method of action-research, in which it was possible to describe the dynamic between teacher and students during improvisation activities. Thus, the researcher was also the teacher who applied the set of didactic strategies with his own students. The songs used in this research were Paranaê and Marinheiro Só, well known in the practice of capoeira. Two groups of students participated in this study: in group 1, three students, between 9 and 10 years old, from the Sergipe Music Conservatory (CMS). In group 2, three students, between 12 and 13 years old, from the Philharmonic Society 28 de Agosto (SOFIVA). The ideas from the music educators David Elliott, Keith Swanwick and Lucy Green served as the basis for the theoretical foundation of this research. Elliott's thoughts about the Praxial Philosophy of Music Education (1995) and Swanwick's C(L)A(S)P (1979) approach were used to ground CEDIM. From Lucy Green, reflections on informal learning prac-tices, as well as applications of such practices in the formal teaching context, served as the foundation for this research. The process of analyzing and evaluating the partici-pants' improvisations was also grounded in Swanwick's three principles advocated in his book Teaching Music Musically (2003), as well as his evaluation criteria from his Spiral Theory of Music Development. The participants' improvisations were analyzed in two aspects: compositional and performance parameters. The analysis of the improvisations and the questionnaires indicated that CEDIM promoted a favorable environment for the participants to work and develop their musical creativity collectively. Finally, the participants demonstrated a musical intuition to improvise that questions the absence of improvisation in conventional pedagogy in the initiation of the clarinet.CapesEsta tese tem por tema a inclusão da improvisação na iniciação da clarineta. Trata-se de uma pesquisa que teve por objetivo experimentar um conjunto de estratégias didáticas de improvisação em música (CEDIM) fundamentado na música da capoeira e voltado à iniciação do instrumento. Esta abordagem pedagógica consiste em atividades que buscam, primeiramente, pelo uso de gravações, a internalização e memorização do acompanhamento rítmico e da melodia, para então, trabalhar a improvisação. Este trabalho utilizou-se do método qualitativo de pesquisa-ação, no qual foi possível descrever a dinâmica entre professor e alunos durante as atividades de improvisação. Assim, o pesquisador também foi o professor que aplicou o conjunto de estratégias didáticas com seus próprios estudantes. As músicas trabalhadas nesta pesquisa foram Paranaê e Marinheiro Só, bem conhecidas da prática de capoeira. Participaram desta pesquisa dois grupos de estudantes: no grupo 1, três estudantes, entre 9 e 10 anos do curso de musicalização do Conservatório de Música de Sergipe (CMS). E no grupo 2, três estudantes, entre 12 e 13 anos, da Sociedade Filarmônica 28 de Agosto (SOFIVA). As ideias dos educadores musicais David Elliott, Keith Swanwick e Lucy Green serviram como base para a fundamentação teórica desta pesquisa. Os pensamentos de Elliott sobre a Filosofia Praxial da Educação Musical (1995) e a abordagem C(L)A(S)P (1979) de Swanwick foram utilizados para fundamentar o CEDIM. De Lucy Green, as reflexões sobre a práticas de aprendizagem informal, assim como as aplicações de tais práticas no contexto formal de ensino, serviram como base para esta pesquisa. O processo de análise e avaliação dos improvisos dos participantes também foram fundamentados por Swanwick, nos três princípios defendidos em seu livro Ensinando Música Musicalmente (2003), assim como seus critérios de avaliação, oriundos de sua Teoria Espiral de Desenvolvimento Musical. Os improvisos dos participantes foram analisados em dois aspectos: os parâmetros composicionais e os de performance. A análise dos improvisos e dos questionários indicou que o CEDIM promoveu uma ambientação favorável para os participantes trabalharem e desenvolverem sua criatividade musical coletivamente. Por fim, os participantes demonstraram possuir uma intuição musical para improvisar que questiona a ausência da improvisação na pedagogia convencional na iniciação da clarineta

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.
