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
Noyau et métrique de Bergman dans des formules de représentations pour les convexes de type fini et applications
No full textRapporteurs : J. Bruna, E. Charpentier Président du jury : J. Michel Membres du jury : P. Bonneau, P. ThomasIn strictly pseudoconvex domains, S. G. Krantz found a solution for the Cauchy-Riemann equation for a bounded data in the Lipschitz space . Recently, a similar result was obtained in convex domains of finite type m by A. Cumenge and B. Fischer, J. E. Fornaess, K. Diederich : for a bounded data, the solution belongs to . However, S. G. Krantz's result in strictly pseudoconvex domains was improved by P. Greiner and E. Stein. Under the same hypothesis, they obtained a solution for the Cauchy-Riemann equation in the anisotropic Lispchitz space . So, it seems that there is a better regularity for the solution in tangent directions. Our work consists in finding optimal lipschitzian estimates in a convex, bounded and smooth domain of finite type m. In the first part, we use the integral formula builded by A. Cumenge with Berndtsson-Andersson kernel. This construction is "semi-geometric" because the weight depends on Bergman kernel but the section is the classical Bochner-Martinelli. We obtained then a first result which is not optimal. We decided to keep it because it explains the usual approach and the difficulties for estimations. This result will be improved in the third part. In all the results, the data is isotropic and only the solution is anisotropic. So, we thougth interesting to try an approach where the data is bounded with an anisotropic norm. For this, we used the kappa norm introduced by Bruna-Charpentier-Dupain which is a sort of linear version of Kobayashi norm. The solution in then in the isotropic Zygmund space. In the second part of our work, we construct a kernel totally geometric because in both weight and section, only Bergman kernel and Bergman metric are used. This construction is similar to Berndtsson-Andersson ones, but we can't used directly their results because our section is not checking their sufficient hypothesis. We then obtain a representation formula for (p,q)-forms. With this choice for the weight, we are cancelling the boundary term which appears in homotopy formulas and we are directly obtaining a solution for the Cauchy-Riemann equation for "delta-bar" closed forms. In the third part, we are applying this kernel and improving first part's result with an optimal estimate: for a bounded data, we can show that a solution is in an anisotropic space for function : introduced by J. McNeal and E. Stein. This is a Lipschitz space for an anisotropic metric based on McNeal pseudometric. In order to prove this result, we need an adaptation of "Hardy-Littlewood" lemma and then we are able to estimate almost all the terms in the kernel. For the last one, which contain the maximal singularitie, we can't derive and then we need a direct approach. For this, we give an equivalent definition for which is based on a sort of anisotropic approximation of unity adapted to the geometry of the domain. In the last part, we are giving a second application : we obtain a new proof for anisotropic Greiner and Stein theorem in strictly pseudoconvex domains. This is quite natural to obtain it because our aim was to obtain this sort of results, but we need here to express it in the euclidian geometry without using metric. So, this result show that we obtain the optimal estimates.S. G. Krantz a montré qu'une solution u de l'équation de Cauchy-Riemann pour une donnée f à coefficients bornés appartient à l'espace de Lipschitz dans les domaines strictement pseudoconvexes. Plus récemment, A. Cumenge d'une part et B. Fischer, J. E. Fornaess, K. Diederich d'autre part ont obtenu dans le cas des domaines convexes de type fini m des estimations en . Cependant, le résultat de S. G. Krantz dans les domaines strictement pseudoconvexe a ensuite été amélioré par P. Greiner et E. Stein qui ont obtenu sous les mêmes hypothèses une solution dans l'espace anisotrope höldérien . Ce résultat indique qu'une meilleure régularité de la solution est attendue dans les directions tangentes complexes. Notre travail consiste alors à obtenir les estimations lipschitziennes optimales des solutions de l'équation de Cauchy-Riemann dans un domaine à frontière lisse borné et convexe de type fini. Dans la première partie de notre travail, nous reprenons la formule de représentation intégrale construite par A. Cumenge avec des noyaux de type Berndtsson-Andersson où le poids dépend du noyau de Bergman. Elle est ``semi-géométrique'' dans le sens où le noyau est construit en partie à l'aide du noyau de Bochner-Martinelli qui, bien qu'universel, ne nous permettra pas a priori d'exploiter toute la géométrie du domaine. Dans tous les résultats précités, la donnée est dans l'espace . C'est ainsi la solution qui porte l'anisotropie induite par la géométrie des strictement pseudoconvexes ou des convexes de type fini. Il nous a semblé intéressant de donner aussi une approche où la donnée appartient à un espace anisotrope. Pour cela, nous utilisons la norme qui est définie à l'aide d'une norme de type Kobayashi pour les vecteurs. La solution appartient alors à l'espace de Zygmund isotrope . Pour montrer les techniques usuelles de résolution, et les difficultés d'approche pour les estimations de la partie euclidienne du noyau résolvant, nous donnons aussi un résultat où la donnée appartient à l'espace des (0,1)-formes . Ce résultat n'est pas optimal et nous l'améliorons dans la troisième partie. La seconde partie donne la construction d'un noyau entièrement géométrique. Il ne fait plus intervenir que le noyau et la métrique de Bergman et nous pouvons espérer être donc à même de l'exploiter pour obtenir les résultats les plus fins. Cette construction est similaire à celle de Berndtsson-Andersson en choisissant comme section une approximation de la métrique de Bergman à l'ordre 2. Ce noyau permet d'obtenir une formule de représentation valable pour les (p,q)-formes en général. Le choix du poids permet l'annulation du terme d'intégration sur le bord qui apparaît dans les formules d'homotopie, ce qui nous donne directement une solution de l'équation de Cauchy-Riemann pour les (p,q)-formes fermée. Dans la troisième partie, nous donnons un premier résultat qui utilise ce noyau et améliore le second résultat de la première partie. Nous obtenons un résultat optimal : pour une donnée dans , nous montrons que l'équation de Cauchy-Riemann admet une solution dans l'espace de fonction anisotrope introduit par J. McNeal et E. Stein. C'est un espace de type Lipschitz pour une métrique faisant intervenir la pseudométrique de McNeal, donc reflétant la géométrie du domaine. Pour obtenir ce résultat, nous avons dû adapter un lemme de type ``Hardy-Littlewood anisotrope'' pour pouvoir estimer directement les termes du noyau ne contenant pas la singularité maximale. Pour le dernier terme, nous avons dû introduire une définition directe de qui nécessitait l'introduction d'une approximation de l'unité adapté à la géométrie des convexes de type fini. Nous terminons par une seconde application : nous retrouvons un théorème de P. Greiner et E. Stein dans les domaines strictement pseudoconvexes. C'est-à-dire que pour une donnée , nous montrons que nous pouvons trouver une solution dans . Il est assez naturel de pouvoir y arriver puisque notre solution est construite afin de dominer les aspects géométriques des domaines
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.
