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
Essays on Climate Change and its Distributional Impacts: CO2 Emissions Transmission in an Integrated Global Economic System
Get PDFAquesta dissertació examina els vincles complexos entre les activitats econòmiques globals i les emissions de CO₂, centrant-se en el comerç internacional i sectors crítics com el transport aeri i marítim. Utilitzant mètodes avançats d'input-output, com l'Anàlisi de Descomposició Estructural (SDA) i el Mètode d'Extracció Hipotètica (HEM), la investigació posa de manifest els impulsors de la generació d'emissions i les seves possibles mitigacions en el context de la globalització i les cadenes de valor interconnectades.
Les troballes revelen que, mentre els països desenvolupats han aconseguit desacoblar el creixement econòmic de les emissions directes mitjançant la descarbonització, les economies emergents com la Xina i l'Índia experimenten un augment de les emissions a causa del creixement demogràfic i l'increment dels ingressos. El mètric innovador Emission Balance of Trade (EBT) mostra que aquests exportadors nets assumeixen els costos ambientals del comerç global, tot i que el seu comerç no és altament intensiu en emissions. L'estudi també demostra que sectors tradicionalment considerats de baixes emissions, com els serveis, contribueixen de manera significativa a les emissions, mentre que les emissions del transport aeri superen en un 19% les xifres reportades, cosa que subratlla la necessitat d'inversions en aviació sostenible. De manera similar, l'extensió del Sistema d'Intercanvi d'Emissions de la Unió Europea (EU ETS) al transport marítim revela compensacions entre objectius econòmics i ambientals, requerint una implementació escalonada i la reinversió en tecnologies verdes.
Defensant enfocaments sistèmics i internacionals per a la reducció d'emissions, la investigació ressalta la transferència de tecnologia, el suport financer i l'harmonització d'estàndards. Tot i les limitacions dels models estàtics, l'estudi estableix les bases per a anàlisis dinàmiques i polítiques equitatives que recolzin una comunitat global sostenible i resilient.Esta disertación examina los vínculos complejos entre las actividades económicas globales y las emisiones de CO₂, centrándose en el comercio internacional y sectores clave como el transporte aéreo y marítimo. Utilizando métodos avanzados de input-output, como el Análisis de Descomposición Estructural (SDA) y el Método de Extracción Hipotética (HEM), la investigación destaca los factores que impulsan la generación de emisiones y su mitigación en el contexto de la globalización y las cadenas de valor interconectadas.
Los hallazgos revelan que, mientras los países desarrollados han logrado desvincular el crecimiento económico de las emisiones directas mediante la descarbonización, las economías emergentes como China e India enfrentan un aumento de emisiones debido al crecimiento poblacional y al incremento de los ingresos. El innovador indicador Emission Balance of Trade (EBT) demuestra que estos exportadores netos asumen los costos ambientales del comercio global, aunque su comercio no es altamente intensivo en emisiones. El estudio también evidencia que sectores tradicionalmente considerados de bajas emisiones, como los servicios, contribuyen significativamente a las emisiones, mientras que las emisiones del transporte aéreo superan en un 19% las cifras reportadas, lo que subraya la necesidad de invertir en aviación sostenible. De manera similar, la extensión del Sistema de Comercio de Emisiones de la Unión Europea (EU ETS) al transporte marítimo revela compensaciones entre los objetivos económicos y ambientales, requiriendo una implementación gradual y reinversiones en tecnologías verdes.
Al defender enfoques sistémicos e internacionales para la reducción de emisiones, la investigación enfatiza la transferencia de tecnología, el apoyo financiero y la armonización de estándares. A pesar de las limitaciones de los modelos estáticos, el estudio sienta las bases para análisis dinámicos y políticas equitativas que apoyen una comunidad global sostenible y resiliente.This dissertation examines the complex links between global economic activities and CO2 emissions, focusing on international trade and critical sectors like air transport and shipping. Utilizing advanced input-output methods, such as Structural Decomposition Analysis (SDA) and the Hypothetical Extraction Method (HEM), the research highlights the drivers of emissions generation and their mitigation within the context of globalization and interconnected value chains.
The findings reveal that while developed nations have decoupled economic growth from direct emissions through decarbonization, emerging economies like China and India face rising emissions due to population growth and increasing income. The innovative Emission Balance of Trade (EBT) metric shows that these net exporters bear the environmental costs of global trade, even though their trade is not highly emission-intensive. The study also demonstrates that traditionally low-emission sectors like services contribute significantly to emissions, while air transport's emissions exceed reported figures by 19%, emphasizing the need for sustainable aviation investments. Similarly, extending the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) to shipping uncovers trade-offs between economic and environmental goals, requiring phased implementation and reinvestment in green technologies.
Advocating for systemic and international approaches to emissions reduction, the research stresses technology transfer, financial support, and harmonized standards. Despite the limitations of static models, the study lays a foundation for dynamic analyses and equitable policies that support a sustainable and resilient global community."Universitat Rovira i Virgili.

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.
