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
Airport surrounding area development in China
Get PDFUrbanization and civil aviation industry have deep impacts on human society, including China where economic growth has been fast. A joint product of urbanization and civil aviation industry is Airport Surrounding Area Development (ASAD). There has been plenty of research on western ASAD and of Chinese ASAD by scholars from each respective side, but communication between the West and China on this topic is sparse.
Growth coalition and urban regime are two rival theories abstracted from US reality of urban economic growth and relationship among various players during this process, but their applicability outside USA needs to be tested. China’s ASAD is a good opportunity for this type of test.
The uniqueness of China is discussed in four aspects: government structure, land finance of local government, economy’s dependency on fixed-asset investment, and research data availability. Additionally, official plans of ASAD in six Chinese cities are presented to give potential investors a panorama of the situation through the scope of local government. Since there is always a gap between plan and reality, the author used two innovative methods to evaluate the ASAD situation: remote sensing analysis and computational text analysis.
The author chose Xi’an ASAD as a case study. Tax data of Xi’an Airport New City revealed differentiated level of success for various industries around Xi’an airport. Fieldwork on industrial and residential landscape provided first-hand material. The author discussed four special topics in depth: urbanization of existing rural communities near airports with focus on land-lost peasants; environmental issues; interactive behaviors of government and enterprises; and COVID-19. Perspective business opportunities in ASAD in primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors, as well as precautions, are suggested to investors.
This study fills the gap of Chinese ASAD research outside China. It confirms that in the Chinese context, the rationale of growth coalition theory and urban regime theory remains valid, but the specific roles and behaviors of players differ from their counterparts in the West. The two originally rival theories each explain part of the reality. The government and public sector economy are dominant in China, yet other civil players like private and foreign capital and land-lost peasants cannot be neglected. All players have common interests on airport surrounding area economic development; therefore, they often compromise with each other and cooperate. This study provides international investors with rich and up-to-date information about this huge market. Moreover, China’s experience of ASAD exhibits an alternative development approach from the West for other developing countries.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-05-01The student, Zhuo Chen, accepted the attached license on 2020-04-30 at 15:22.The student, Zhuo Chen, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2020-04-30 at 15:25.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2020-05-04 at 15:26.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15133 on 2020-08-25 at 17:42:11Made available in DSpace on 2020-08-27T00:50:11Z (GMT).

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
