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
Employers’ willingness for hiring people with mental illness: conditions, factors, and policy intervention
No full text研究證實，適當的工作是協助精神障礙者回復健康及恢復社會功能的重要方式之一。其中，雇主對於精神障礙者的僱用意願，是其能否進入職場的重要關鍵，但過去我國在這方面的研究卻相當缺乏。本研究旨在了解雇主對於精神障礙者就業的看法與聘用意願，並探討相關影響因素，以提出政策因應之建議。 本次研究採取的質量結合的研究設計流程如下：首先，以深度訪談的方式，對本研究議題進行初步探索，並蒐集相關資料，構築研究架構。接著，以深入訪談所得資訊，加上文獻回顧結果，發展量化工具 — 即問卷。之後，研究者以問卷調查的資料，做出具有群體代表性及普效性（generality）的呈現。同時，再輔以質性的資料分析，加強量的發現之有效性，並予以詮釋、澄清與闡述。最後，研究者將所收集到的質性與量性資料整合，進行詮釋、分析及三角檢測。深度訪談的部分，研究者共訪問13位一般性企業或機構的雇主，瞭解雇主對於精神障礙者之觀感及聘僱意願，並探討他們對精神障礙者就業相關政策的看法。結果顯示，儘管13位雇主都認同精神障礙者之工作權，但卻有超過半數的雇主，因為擔心社會大眾的負面觀感，或因考量精障者的症狀和工作能力，而缺乏聘僱意願。在就業相關政策部份，我們也發現：1) 雇主普遍不清楚相關就業政策及法規；2) 政府罰鍰及獎勵補助金對於提升精神障礙者之就業效果有限；3) 雇主對精神疾病缺乏正確知識；及4) 就業服務員的素質不一。 依據文獻回顧及質性訪談的結果，研究者設計問卷對全國進用身心障礙者的法定義務機構進行調查，以分層抽樣的方式，從自行政院勞工委員會職業訓練局取得全國公私立義務進用身心障礙者機構資料檔抽出501位符合法定僱用身心障礙者之義務機關（構）之雇主為研究對象，使用郵寄問卷的方式收集資料，以了解雇主對精神障礙者之僱用意願及相關影響因素。郵寄問卷後，又多次致電催覆，因此問卷回收率高達93.81% （N=470）。研究結果顯示：1) 雇主對精障者的僱用意願平均偏低；2) 雇主普遍認同精障者的工作權利，但對其情緒反應及工作能力評價仍偏負面；3) 影響雇主僱用意願的最主要因素包括：雇主僱用精障者的容易程度、對精障者的情緒反應及對精障者工作權利的認同。 質性訪談與調查研究結果均明確指出，政府欲提升雇主對精障者之僱用意願最重要的方式，即是加強雇主對精神疾病的了解落實精障者工作權利的宣導及給予職場上的支持，降低其僱用困難。因此，我們建議政府應加強相關就業政策與法令宣導、調整經濟誘因，並加強去除烙印的社會教育。此外，政府也應致力於改善就業服務體制，增強就業服務員的服務品質，並藉由強化支持性就業服務的內涵，解決雇主之僱用困境，提升精障者工作表現與適應能力，使其順利地在職場工作，獲得自尊、健康與滿足。如此，方能有效增加雇主對於精神障礙者的僱用意願，也才能夠有效保障精障者的就業權。Accumulated literatures have showed that decent work is one of the best means to help people with mental illness to recover and return back to a normal life. Therefore, assistance for returning to work is an essential part of rehabilitation programs. Employers'' viewpoints toward people with mental illness are important because they hold the final decision power for employment. This study aimed to: 1) explore the willingness of employers in Taiwan toward hiring people with mental illness; 2) find out the factors which influence employers’ willingness; 3) to understand employers’ attitudes and concerns on Taiwan’s employment policy for people with mental illness; 3) analysis the conditions, problems, and policy intervention of the employment of people with mental illness. The researcher firstly used the qualitative research to make the pioneer study. Semi-structured interviews with 13 employers were conducted. Responses were audio taped, transcribed, and coded. All the data was synthesized and interpreted. Based on the result of literature review and qualitative research, the researcher made up the questionnaire to investigate the employers’ willingness, attitudes and perceptions toward hiring mentally ill people in Taiwan. Stratified sampling was used to select 501 employers. The overall response rate of employers who completed questionnaires was 93.81% (470 employers). The result showed that: 1) the employers endorsed negative views regarding employing people with mental illness; 2) despite most employers agreed that people with mental illness have the right to work as normal people do, however, more than half of employers had negative emotions and concerns of their symptoms and work competencies; 3) the main factors which affect the employers’ hiring willingness include: employers’ perceptions of their ability to hiring people with mental illness, employers’ emotional reaction toward mentally ill people and employers’ identity of mentally ill people’s right of work; 4) most employers were not aware of the employment policy and for some who were aware, its economic incentives seemed weak. Furthermore, most employers had insufficient knowledge regarding mental illness.o increase employers’ willingness in hiring people with mental illness, the government should strengthen the supported employment system for both the employers and the employees. For example, the government should increase the number, profession and welfare of job coaches. In addition, we suggest the government to modify the economic inducement to enhance the hiring willingness of employers; finally, efforts should be made to increase the social awareness of the employment policy, and to enhance the knowledge and the acceptance with regard to mental illness.中文摘要 ibstract iii錄 v一章 緒論 1一節 研究背景與研究動機 1二節 研究目的 2三節 名詞定義 2二章 文獻探討 5一節 工作對精障者的意義 5二節 精障者的就業障礙 6三節 美國與日本精神障礙就業政策發展歷程 7四節 台灣精神障礙就業政策的發展歷程 10五節 精障者之職業重建模式與現況探討 12六節 雇主對精障者的僱用意願及影響因素 20三章 研究方法 27一節 研究架構 27二節 研究設計 30四章 研究結果 37一節 深度訪談結果 37二節 調查研究結果 51五章 討論、結論與政策建議 68一節 討論 68二節 研究限制 83三節 結論 85四節 政策與實務建議 86六章 參考文獻 91錄 102錄一 訪談大綱 102錄二 受訪同意書 104錄三 雇主對於精神障礙者之僱用意願及因素調查問卷 105表目錄目錄一 身心障礙者職業重建服務流程圖 13二 雇主求才服務流程圖 19三 計畫行為理論架構圖 28四 雇主對精障者僱用意願及相關影響因素研究架構圖 30五 研究設計流程 32六 問卷編製過程圖 35目錄1 受訪雇主的社會人口特質 372 問卷發出與回收情形 513-1 探索性因素分析結果 543-2 主成分分析轉軸後之成份矩陣 543-3 刪除題目後之之成份矩陣 554-1 量表之內部一致信度檢驗結果 564-2 各題項之信度分析結果 565 基本人口學資料 586 雇主對精障者之僱用意願及態度分數平均數 607 影響雇主過去僱用身心障礙者的政策或法規 618 理論架構變項對僱用意願之相關分析 639-1 實際行為控制因素與知覺行為控制的相關分析1 639-2 實際行為控制因素與知覺行為控制的相關分析2 6410 人口學變項對僱用意願差異分析（t-test or One-way ANOVA分析） 6511 控制人口學變項後的理論架構變項預測僱用意願之複迴歸分析摘要表 6
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.
