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

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.

Monitoring of the two-spotted oak buprestid (Agrilus biguttatus) and comparison of sticky prismatic traps with multi-funnel traps in monitoring of the genus Agrilus in Ljubljana regional unit
No full textMagistrsko delo je bilo izvedeno v sklopu mednarodnega projekta Euphrecso Agrilus, katerega izvajalci so raziskovalci Gozdarskega inštituta Slovenije (GIS). Invazivne in avtohtone vrste iz rodu Agrilus na področju varstva gozdov v zadnjem času pridobivajo na pomenu, zato je pomembno spoznati najučinkovitejše metode njihovega spremljanja in zatiranja. Glavni cilj naloge je bil ugotoviti, katera izmed dveh tipov pasti, lepljiva zelena prizmatična ali zelena več lijakasta past, učinkoviteje lovi hrošče iz rodu Agrilus na območju KE Ljubljana. Poleg tega smo želeli ugotoviti, ali je dvopikasti krasnik (Agrilus biguttatus) na območju prisoten, katere druge vrste iz rodu Agrilus se še pojavljajo v ulovu, ter katera vrsta iz rodu Agrilus je na tem območju najštevilčnejša. Spremljanje je potekalo od 26. 5. do 31. 8. 2021. Pasti so bile postavljene na sončno ali polsenčno lego, kontrola in pobiranje vzorcev se je izvajala vsaka dva tedna. Ulov je bil determiniran v Laboratoriju za varstvo gozdov GIS. Ulovili smo osem različnih vrst iz rodu Agrilus, in sicer A. angustulus, A. biguttatus, A. convexicollis, A. laticornis, A. obscuricollis, A. olivicolor, A. sulcicollis in A. hastulifer. Najštevilčnejša je bila vrsta A. laticornis, ki je predstavljala 43,98 % vseh ulovljenih osebkov iz rodu Agrilus, sledili sta ji vrsti A. olivicolor s 28,22 % in A. obscuricollis s 12,86 %. Večina hroščev iz rodu Agrilus se je ujela v zelene večlijakaste pasti, in sicer približno dva in polkrat več, kot v zelene lepljive prizmatične pasti. Razlike v vrstni sestavi ulova iz rodu Agrilus med testiranima tipoma pasti niso bile statistično značilne. Prisotnost dvopikastega krasnika smo potrdili, a le z ulovom enega osebka.The Master\u27s thesis was carried out as part of the international project Euphrecso Agrilus, which was implemented by researchers from the Slovenian Forestry Institute. Invasive and native species of the genus Agrilus have recently become increasingly important in the field of forest protection, therefore, it is important to know the most effective methods of monitoring and control. The main objective of the thesis was to determine which of the two trap types, the sticky green prismatic trap or the green multi-funnel trap, catches Agrilus beetles more effectively in the Ljubljana regional unit. In addition, we wanted to find out whether the two-spotted oak buprestid beetle (Agrilus biguttatus) is present in the area. Along with, which other species of the genus Agrilus are still present in the catches, and which species of the genus Agrilus is dominant in the area. Monitoring was carried out from 26 May to 31 August 2021. Traps were set in a sunny or semi-shaded position. Control and sampling was carried out every two weeks. Catches were determined in the laboratory. In total eight different species of Agrilus were caught: A. angustulus, A. biguttatus, A. convexicollis, A. laticornis, A. obscuricollis, A. olivicolor, A. sulcicollis and A. hastulifer. The most abundant species was A. laticornis, which accounted for 43.98% of all Agrilus specimens, followed by A. olivicolor with 28.22% and A. obscuricollis with 12.86%. The majority of Agrilus specimens caught were in green multi-funnel traps, approximately two and a half times more than Agrilus specimens caught in green sticky prismatic traps. Differences in the species composition of Agrilus catches between the two trap types tested were not statistically significant. The presence of the two-spotted oak buprestid beetle was confirmed, but only by catching one specimen
