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
Beer Sheva, la città grigia
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALEBeer Sheva, che si trova in Israele nel deserto Negev, è stata costruita dall’Impero Ottomano nel 1900 per poi, dopo essere stata anche sotto il dominio inglese e arabo, essere conquistata dai militari israeliani nel 1948 subito dopo la costituzione del nuovo stato. Il governo israeliano attraverso più pianificazioni la rifondò completamente considerandola come una città nuova, la capitale del deserto Negev. Per farlo sfruttò tecnologie costruttive di rapida esecuzione ed economiche. Sotto la responsabilità dello Stato israeliano vennero costrutite a Beer Sheva, da parte di architetti molto giovani, molte opere architettoniche che l'imprese private non avrebbero potuto promuovere con la stessa intensità e la stessa quantità. Come Tel Aviv è la città che più di ogni altra rappresenta lo stile internazionale e racchiude in un perimetro relativamente stretto, migliaia di case costruite secondo questo stile razionale e funzionale (tanto da essere definita la città bianca) così Beer Sheva può essere considerata la capitale del Brutalismo. Il Brutalismo è uno stile rude, diretto e prepotente, proprio come quella generazione di architetti attiva nell’Israele dei primi anni ’50 impazienti di rompere gli schemi esistenti. L’arrivo delle grandi ondate migratorie di quel periodo, la necessità di fornire velocemente soluzioni abitative economiche e razionali in poco tempo hanno fatto sì che il cemento armato diventasse il materiale più adatto alle esigenze del periodo. Era lo Stato il principale imprenditore edile di quel periodo, una situazione che permise a decine di giovani architetti di sbizzarrirsi e di trasformare interi quartieri, ma soprattutto numerosi edifici pubblici e governativi, in un enorme laboratorio sperimentale di tecniche, forme e geometrie. Beer Sheva, trovandosi ai confini periferici del giovane stato, era uno dei posti dove veniva lasciata maggiore libertà, diventando di fatto la capitale delle opportunità urbanistiche, certamente molto interessanti dal punto di vista innovativo.Beer Sheva, a city in the Israel's Negev desert was built by the Ottoman Empire in 1900 and conquered by the Israeli military in 1948. Eventually it was built by the Department of construction and the Ministry of construction of Israel. The whole city was built by the government according to government planning and was considered as a "new city" and the "capital of the Negev desert" - the government's goal was a quick and cheap construction. The responsibility of the Israeli state has led to the current design of the city, something most architectures and private companies could not have done in the same intensity and quantity. Tel Aviv is the city that more than any other, represents the international style and has in a tight perimeter, thousands of houses built in a rational and functional style (so to be called the white city), as well Beer Sheva can be considered the capital of Brutalism. The Brutalist style is a tough, direct and overbearing, just like that generation of architects active in Israel in the early 50's impatient to break the existing schemas. The arrival of the great migrations of the period, the need to provide fast economic and rational housing solutions in a short time meant that the reinforced concrete became the material best suited to the needs of the period. It was the state's main building contractor at the time, a situation that allowed dozens of young architects to indulge themselves and transform entire neighborhoods, numerous public and government buildings, into a huge experimental laboratory of techniques, shapes and geometries. Beer Sheva, a city in the peripheral boundaries of the young state, was one of the places where more freedom was left, becoming the de facto capital of urban opportunities and is therefore certainly very interesting from an innovative point of view
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.
