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

No full textThe institution of the National Education System (SNE) is a demand that permeates Brazilian history, as well as the disputes for it and for the Collaboration Regime. The general objective of this research was to analyze the political-institutional role, actions and contributions of the Secretariat for Articulation with Teaching Systems (Sase) for the implementation of the SNE and regulation of the Collaboration Regime from 2011 to 2016 - that is , from its creation to its reconfiguration due to the legal-media-parliamentary coup. In addition, an attempt was made to confirm or deny the hypothesis that more than Sase's role in establishing the SNE and in regulating the Collaboration Regime, the secretariat was a welcoming space from 2011 to 2016 for private interest agents, from so that they gained prominence in the field of educational policies and in the definition of forms for the Collaboration Regime and for the SNE. As a documentary corpus, official sources were used (management reports, minutes of meetings and technical texts) and extra-official sources (interviews, news, participation in events and others), theoretically analyzed from the concepts of State and Hegemony by Antônio Gramsci, from the concept André Singer's Lulism, Francisco de Oliveira's Reverse Hegemony, and David Harvey's and Christian Laval's Neoliberalism. To map the alliances made in the time frame of the research, the Social Network Analysis Software, Gephi, was also used. The final considerations indicated that both the SNE and the Collaboration Regime, when funding education, completed disputed fields in educational policies and in this context Sase's actions were clarified with agents of private interests, especially with Todos pela Education. It can be said that the non-implementation of the SNE and the non-regulation of the Collaboration Regime by Sase was a mechanism of hegemony in reverse to manage the social problem of education.A instituição do Sistema Nacional de Educação (SNE) é uma demanda que perpassa a história brasileira, bem como as disputas pelo mesmo e pelo Regime de Colaboração. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral analisar o papel político-institucional, as ações e as contribuições da Secretaria de Articulação com os Sistemas de Ensino (Sase) para implementação do SNE e regulamentação do Regime de Colaboração de 2011 até o ano de 2016 – ou seja, da sua criação até sua reconfiguração devido ao golpe jurídico-midiático-parlamentar. Além disso, buscou-se confirmar ou negar a hipótese que de mais do que a atuação da Sase na instituição do SNE e na regulamentação do Regime de Colaboração, a secretaria foi um espaço de acolhida durante 2011 até 2016 para os agentes de interesses privados, de modo que ganhassem destaque no campo das políticas educacionais e na definição de formas para o Regime de Colaboração e para o SNE. Como corpus documental, foram utilizadas fontes oficiais (relatórios de gestão, atas de reuniões e textos técnicos) e extraoficiais (entrevistas, notícias, participações em eventos e outros), analisados teoricamente a partir dos conceitos de Estado e Hegemonia de Antônio Gramsci, do conceito de Lulismo de André Singer, de Hegemonia às Avessas de Francisco de Oliveira e de Neoliberalismo a partir de David Harvey e Christian Laval. Para mapear as alianças feitas no recorte temporal da pesquisa, também foi utilizado o Software de Análise de Redes Sociais, Gephi. As considerações finais indicaram que tanto o SNE, quanto o Regime de Colaboração, quando o financiamento da educação, tornaram-se campos em disputa nas políticas educacionais e nesse contexto as ações da Sase estiveram alinhadas com agentes de interesses privados, sobretudo com o Todos pela Educação. Pode-se afirmar que a não implementação do SNE e a não regulamentação do Regime de Colaboração por parte da Sase foi um mecanismo de hegemonia às avessas para administrar o problema social da educação.Fundação Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Fundação Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES
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

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.
