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
AN ANALYSIS OF DEIXIS IN STUDENTS’ WRITING OF RECOUNT TEXT OF THE EIGHTH B GRADE OF SMP N 1 JEPARAIN THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2012/2013
Full text linkAnggraini, Ferania. 2013.An Analysis of Deixisin Students’ Writing of Recount Text of the Eighth B Grade of SMP N 1 Jepara.Skripsi.English Education Department Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisors: (i) Drs. Muh. Syafei,M.Pd(ii) MutohharS.Pd, M.Pd
Key words: deixis, students’ writing
In human life, human need a media to communicate with each other. That media is called language. It is used by human to express their idea, thoughts, needs and others. By using it, the others will understand what someone want, what someone think and etc. To understand the meaning in every communication, we are necessary to know the contextual information, like the culture, time and place where the language is uttered. Every utterance refers to different things based on the speakers’ meaning. Deixis is a way to refer to a particular substance in a language that can only be interpreted in the sense referred to by the speaker and the situation affected the talks. Students’ writing is one of appropriate objects for analyzing deixis because the students will tell about studets’ experience depend on their ideas itself. Actually their writing still used simpe form and also simple words. Here, the writer wants to show that deixis is used in every language, although in a simple sentence. So the writer carries out the research entitled “An Analysis of Deixis in Students’ Writing of the eighth B grade of SMP N 1 Jepara in the academic year 2012/2013.
The objectives research of this research are (1) to describe the types of deixis that appears in “Students’ Writing” of recount text of the eighth B grade of SMP N 1 Jepara in the academic year 2012/2013. (2) to know how deixis are used in “Students’ Writing” of recount text of the eighth B grade of SMP N 1 Jepara in the academic year 2012/2013.
In this research, the writer uses descriptive analysis technique. The data are deixis, the types of deixis and how deixis are used in “Students’ Writing”.The data source is the students’ writing of recount text of the eighth B grade of SMP N 1 Jepara. In doing the research, the writer usesthe theory based onStephen C. Levinson. The analysis of deixis consisted of analyzing each composition from twenty students’ writing. It’s mean that the words in each composition that include into deictic words are divided into five Types of deixis. Then the writershow how deixis used in every composition.
The result of this research shows from twenty data, the deixis found in students’ writing of recount text of the eighth B grade of SMP N 1 Jepara in the academic year 2012/2013 are:person deixis (271 times), place deixis (196 times), time deixis (105times), social deixis (98 times), and discourse deixis (33 times). So, it can be concluded that the deixis is useful to indicate the participant, place,time, discourse and also the social status that appear in students’ writing. Deixis make the students’ writing to be clear and easy to understand by the reader.
This writer suggests to the reader (students of English Education Department), they can learn more about the types of deixis and how deixis are used through students’ writing of recount text of the eighth B grade of SMP N 1 Jepara in the academic year 2012/2013. Then,to the lecturers of English Education Department, they can use students’ writing to be their teaching media in the class. To the next researcher, they can use this research to be their reference or their material in understanding deixis
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

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.
