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
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
АНАЛІЗ ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКОГО ДОСВІДУ ПРОЄКТУВАННЯ ФУНКЦІОНАЛЬНИХ КЛАСИФІКАЦІЙ МІСЬКИХ ВУЛИЦЬ І ДОРІГ
Get PDFIntroduction. The questions of the influence of the relief on the conditions for the formation of functional zones of development and the road network in the territories of cities are considered. Undoubtedly, changes in the state of the relief have a significant impact on the process of tracing city streets and roads during design. The planning of the road network is one of the most important components in the territory of cities, which is associated with the terrain. The relief significantly affects the overall composition of the building. Particular attention should be paid to the arrangement of surface drains. Improving traffic conditions, improving the operation of street and road networks is possible, taking into account their functional properties and classification. In our country, there is a regulatory document DBN V.2.3-5-2018, which divides into: main roads, main streets of citywide significance with continuous and controlled traffic, main streets of regional significance, local industrial and warehouse roads and streets. Taking into account a significant number of accidents and conflict situations, taking into account foreign experience aimed at improving the safety and comfort of movement on the territory of cities, the issues in the Ministry of Regional Development of Ukraine on introducing changes in the classification of city streets and roads according to their functional purpose were considered. An analysis of many years of foreign experience, where functional classifications of streets and roads are used, indicates positive characteristics for a long time. The purpose of the article is to analyze foreign experience in designing a functional classification of city streets and roads, aimed at improving street and road networks in Ukrainian cities. It is important to consider the criteria for functional classifications used in European countries. Results. The analysis of European classifications and basic design standards was carried out by the Committee on Urban Areas of the World Road Association (PIARC), and a special project ARTISTS was carried out within the framework of the programs of the European Commission. It should be noted that European classifications, compared with North American ones, are significantly distinguished by a greater variety of functional characteristics in functional classifications. Particular attention should be paid to the classification of city streets and roads in the UK. This lies in the fact that the English classification, as well as the rationing of the speed of movement, is almost a tradition with high rates of traffic safety even by European standards. Also a distinctive feature in the classifications of England is their rationality. The development of these documents and their approval is carried out in cities and counties. The competence of local legislation is the requirements for building rules and focuses on the categories of streets that are most characteristic and important in a given municipality. There are classifications for Greater London, the City District, and also classifications for small towns and counties. Conclusion. In Britain, much attention is paid to the local network and the development of street and road classifications in small towns and settlements. The English experience in the development of local street design standards may find suitable use in our country.Вступ. В статті розглянуті питання впливу рельєфу на умови формування функціональних зон забудови та вулично-дорожньої мережі на територіях міст. Безумовно, зміни стану рельєфу значно впливають на процес трасування міських вулиць і доріг при проєктуванні. Планування вулично-дорожньої мережі це одна із найважливіших із складових на території міст, яка пов’язана із рельєфом місцевості. Рельєф значно впливає значно впливає на загальну композицію забудови. Особлива увага повинна приділятися влаштуванню поверхневих стоків. Покращення умов руху, удосконалення роботи вулично-дорожніх мереж можливе з урахуванням їх функціональних властивостей і класифікації. В нашій країні діє нормативний документ ДБН В.2.3-5-2018, в якому здійснюється розподіл на: магістральні дороги, магістральні вулиці загальноміського значення з безперервним та регульованим рухом, магістральні вулиці районного значення, місцеві промислово-складські дороги та вулиці. Приймаючи до уваги значну кількість дорожньо-транспортних пригод та конфліктних ситуацій із урахуванням закордонного досвіду, спрямованого на покращення безпеки та комфортності руху по території міст, розглянуті питання у мінрегіоні України про внесення змін щодо класифікації міських вулиць і доріг за їх функціональним призначенням. Аналіз багаторічного закордонного досвіду, де використовуються функціональні класифікації вулиць і доріг свідчить про позитивні характеристики на протязі тривалого часу. Метою статті є аналіз закордонного досвіду з питань проєктування функціональної класифікації міських вулиць і доріг, спрямований на удосконалення вулично-дорожніх мереж у містах України. Важливим є розгляд критеріїв функціональних класифікацій, які використовуються у Європейських країнах. Результати. Аналіз Європейських класифікацій та основних норм проектування проводився «Комітетом по міським територіям» Світової дорожньої асоціації (PIARC), а також у рамках програм Європейської комісії виконувався спеціальний проект ARTISTS. Необхідно відмітити, що Європейські класифікації в порівнянні із північноамериканськими значно відрізняє більша різноманітність функціональних ознак у функціональних класифікаціях. Необхідно особливу увагу звернути на класифікації міських вулиць і доріг у Великобританії. Це полягає в тому, що англійська класифікація, а також нормування швидкості руху є майже традицією із високими показниками безпеки руху навіть по Європейським стандартам. Також відмінною рисою у класифікаціях Англії є їх раціональність. Розробка цих документів та їх затвердження здійснюється у містах і графствах. У компетенції місцевого законодавства знаходяться вимоги по правилам забудови і акцентується увага для категорій вулиць, найбільш характерних та важливих у даному муніципалітеті. Існують класифікації Великого Лондона, округа Сіті, а також класифікації малих міст і графств. Висновок. В Британії значну увагу приділяють місцевій мережі і розробці класифікацій вулиць і доріг невеликих міст і населених пунктів. Англійський досвід розробки норм проектування місцевих вулиць може знайти відповідне використання в нашій країні

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.
