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
TEAMx-PC22 (TEAMx pre-campaing 2022) - ACINN temperature and humidity logger data set from Nafingalm
No full textABSTRACT
This data set was collected with a network of Onset HOBO temperature and humidity data loggers of ACINN at the Nafingalm, Austria, in summer 2022 in the framework of the TEAMx pre-campaign 2022 (TEAMx-PC22). The aim of TEAMx-PC22 was to test new instruments, new instrument configurations and new measurement sites to support the planning of the main TEAMx observational campaign (TOC) in 2024/2025. More details about TEAMx can be found at http://www.teamx-programme.org as well as in Serafin et al. (2020) and in Rotach et al. (2022).
DATA SET DESCRIPTION
1. Location
The temperature and humidity data loggers were located at five different sites at the Nafingalm in the Weer Valley, Tyrol, Austria (see table below). Four sites were over land and one in a small lake, the so-called Nafingsee. At one of these sites an automatic weather station (AWS) was operated (see DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.8172308). Logger H06 to H32 measured air temperature and air humidity at three sites on two levels (2 and about 0.3 m above ground level) and at one site on one level (2 m above ground level). Logger T01 and T02 measured land surface temperature at two sites. Logger T03 and T04 measured lake water temperature at one site on two levels (0.3 and 1.0 m below lake level). Each logger was equipped with a single temperature/humidity probe. Hence, for each level a separate logger had to be used. Therefore, each data file provided here contains data from a single logger at a single site on a single level. For reasons of redundancy, two sites were equipped with two loggers at 2 m above ground level (main logger and backup logger) in order to fill data gaps in the event of a failure of the main logger. However, data gaps did not occur.

2. Period
The TEAMx-PC22 lasted from mid-May 2022 to early October 2022. However, the temperature and humidity logger data set provided here contains the period from 16 June to 12 September 2022. The time series has a measurement interval of 5 minutes and, depending on the parameter, contains both mean values and instantaneous values.
3. Instrument details
Air temperature and air humidity were measured with Onset HOBO MX2302 temperature and humidity probes mounted on a pole above the surface in a RS3-B naturally aspirated multi-plate radiation shield. Land surface temperature was measured with Onset HOBO MX2201 temperature probes mounted on a pole at the surface under a home-made double-plate radiation shield. Lake water temperature was measured with Onset HOBO MX2201 temperature probes mounted on a rope under a buoy. Despite the double-plate radiation shield used to protect the land surface temperature measurements from radiation errors, such errors have to be expected, especially at low solar elevation angle in the morning and late afternoon. Therefore, use the land surface temperature data with caution. A detailed description of the sensors and parameters is provided as part of the netCDF file metadata as well as in a PDF file containing the netCDF header extracted with the Linux command ncdump -h.
4. Data file
The data set is provided in multiple netCDF files together with a data description in multiple PDF files, one for each data logger (teamx_pc22_aws_nafingalm_HOBOID.nc and teamx_pc22_aws_nafingalm_HOBOID_ncdump_output.pdf). Here, HOBOID represents the logger name (see table above).
5. Analysis
A first analysis of the data was performed in a Bachor thesis (Viebahn, 2023), which is available upon request from the author of this data set.

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

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.
