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
Qualidade lupulada : o significado de artesanal na rede cervejeira gaúcha
Get PDFNos últimos dez anos, o número de cervejarias registradas no Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento cresceu mais de oito vezes. O ocorrido é reflexo de um boom cervejeiro que está efervescendo em todo o país, com mais intensidade a partir de 2010. Esse fenômeno está despertando um movimento cervejeiro artesanal que têm incentivado desde a produção caseira da bebida a cursos, feiras e confrarias. Além disso, vêm proporcionando um redescobrimento da bebida por meio da cultura cervejeira. Este cenário é um recorte dentro de um amplo panorama na alimentação contemporânea que sofre os efeitos da virada para a qualidade, o qual despertou o interesse por alimentos que satisfaçam não apenas aspectos nutricionais, mas também um conjunto de atributos socioculturais. A partir dessa virada, observa-se muitas iniciativas alternativas ao sistema agroalimentar nas quais práticas de consumo local são características evidentes. Todavia, ainda que o movimento legitime o termo artesanal, de maneira geral, não há regulamentação de produtos artesanais no Brasil. Nesse sentido, objetiva-se no presente estudo, analisar a rede cervejeira na capital gaúcha e municípios integrantes da Rota Cervejeira Artesanal do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, buscando-se compreender os significados da qualidade artesanal entre os atores da esfera produtiva. A metodologia qualitativa da pesquisa divide-se em duas partes. A primeira é composta por análise de conteúdo em mídia especializada e mapeamento da rede cervejeira artesanal gaúcha a partir da Teoria Ator- Rede. A segunda, entrevista com roteiro semi-estruturado e visita técnica. Realizou-se onze entrevistas na cidade de Porto Alegre e Nova Petrópolis. Analisou-se as entrevistas por meio do software Nvivo. Os dados da pesquisa indicam que há práticas que perpassam uma “ética do artesanal” na rede cervejeira artesanal gaúcha. À luz da abordagem das redes alimentares alternativas, essas práticas convergem a relações de confiança e consumo local ainda que os ingredientes utilizados pelas cervejarias artesanais sejam majoritariamente importados. O processo é diferenciado em relação a uma cervejaria de massa, pois acaba dependendo mais do fator humano na produção. As receitas e oferta de produtos são mais variadas. Apesar disso, os equipamentos não são centrais na definição da qualidade artesanal, qualidade essa que é uma construção social entre os atores da rede. Não obteve-se consenso em relação à escala de produção que caracterize a produção artesanal, mas se observou que em produções de escala maior é difícil se manter as práticas colaborativas da rede. Portanto, falar em qualidade cervejeira artesanal significa um conjunto de práticas desenvolvidas pelas cervejarias artesanais que convergem a saber fazer cervejeiros, atores com capital cervejeiro e práticas alternativas cervejeiras, isto é, são o resultado do conjunto processo, pessoas e lugar.In the last ten years, the number of breweries registered under the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture has multiplied more than eight times. This phenomenon is a reflection of a brewing boom that has taken hold of the whole the country, which has intensified since 2010. It has awakened a handcrafted brewing movement, encouraging enterprises from the home production of the drink, to courses, fairs and specialized confraternities revolving around beer. Besides that, it has provided a rediscovery of the malt liquor through the so-called beer culture. This scenario is a cut within a broad panorama in contemporary food trends that suffers the effects of a quality turn, which consists in a growing interest for foods that satisfy not only nutritional aspects, but also a set of sociocultural attributes. From this shift, many alternative initiatives have been observed as a deviation from the standard agri-food system, with practices such as local consumption and production, and fair trade being evident characteristics. However, although the movement provides legitimacy for the term hand crafted, there is no regulation for handcrafted products in Brazil as a general rule. In this sense, this research had the objective of analyzing the brewery network in the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and the municipalities that make up the Craft Brewery Route in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, seeking to understand the meaning of handcrafted quality for the players in the productive sphere. The qualitative methodology of this research it divides in two parts. The first one is composed of content analysis of specialized media and mapping of the handcrafted brewery network of Rio Grande do Sul using the Actor Network Theory. The second methodology consists of technical visits and semi-structured scripted interviews. Eleven interviews in total were conducted in the city of Porto Alegre and Nova Petrópolis. The analyzes were performed through Nvivo software. The research data indicated that there are practices that undergo a "handcraft ethic" inside the craft brewery network in Rio Grande do Sul. In the light of the alternative food networks approach, these practices lead to trusted relationships and consumption of local produce, even though the ingredients used by these craft breweries Sul are mostly imported. The process as a whole is differentiated when compared to a mass brewery, as it ends up depending more on the human factor during manufacturing. Also, receipts and product selection are more varied than in mass production industries. Despite this, the equipment is not central in the definition of artisanal quality, it is a social construction among the actors of the network. There was no consensus regarding the scale of production, but it was observed that in large-scale productions it is difficult to maintain the collaborative practices of the network. Therefore, talking about craft brewing quality means a set of practices developed by artisanal breweries that converge on brewing know-how, people with brewer's capital and alternative practices in brewing. In other words, it is the entirety between process, people and place
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.
