Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Thursday Murder Club: Launching a megabrand author - a publishing case study
No full textIn 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author

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.

of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara
Introduction: Gastritis is an inflammatory process in the gastric mucosa and
submucosa in response to injury, which can be acute or chronic. Helicobacter
pylori bacterial infection is the most common cause of chronic gastritis active
throughout the world. The incidence of gastritis increases gradually because
adiponectin levels decrease, this is because adiponectin protects the stomach from
increased gastric acid through the anti-inflammatory effect of adiponectin.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between
adiponectin and H. pylori gastritis and to find the relationship between
adiponectin and nutritional status in H. pylori gastritis patients.
Methods: This study is a descriptive study with a cross sectional approach. The
study will be conducted in July 2019 - December 2019 at the Endoscopic Unit of
H. Adam Malik Hospital and Permata Bunda Hospital Medan, North Sumatra.
The target population of the study was gastritis patients, while the affordable
population was gastritis patients who came to H. Adam Malik Hospital and
Permata Bunda Hospital Medan.
Result: From 60 patients enrolled in the study, 34 (56,7%) were male and 26
(36%) were female. The mean age 46,5 and the most subjects were Bataknese. In
this study 29 patients were HP + (48,3%) and 31 patients HP – (51,7%), and the
mean BMI in HP + and HP – groups was 24,22±4 and 22,53±3, respectively, and
it was not statiscally significant (p=0,103).
Conclusion: In this study, there was difference adiponectin level between H.
pylori infection, that hipoadiponectinemia has increased risk H. pylori infection.
This study also found adiponectin serum was lower in higher BMI and abdominal
circumference.Tingkat Perbedaan Adiponekin Antara Positif Dan Negatif

Introduksi: Gastritis adalah proses peradangan dalam mukosa lambung dan
submukosa sebagai respons terhadap cedera, yang dapat akut atau kronis. Infeksi
bakteri helicobacter pylori adalah penyebab paling umum gastritis kronis aktif di
seluruh dunia. Kejadian gastritis meningkat secara bertahap karena kadar
adiponectin menurun, hal ini dikarenakan adiponectin melindungi lambung dari
peningkatan asam lambung melalui efek anti-inflamasi adiponectin.
Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan hubungan antara
adiponectin dan H. pylori gastritis dan untuk menemukan hubungan antara
adiponectin dan status gizi pada pasien gastritis H. pylori.
Metode: Penelitian ini adalah studi deskriptif dengan pendekatan penampang.
Kajian akan dilakukan pada Juli 2019 - Desember 2019 di Unit Endoskopi RSUP
H. Adam Malik dan RS Permata Bunda Medan, Sumatera Utara. Target populasi
penelitian adalah pasien gastritis, sedangkan penduduk yang terjangkau adalah
pasien gastritis yang datang ke RSUP H. Adam Malik dan RS Permata Bunda
Medan.
Hasil: Dari 60 pasien yang terdaftar dalam penelitian ini, 34 (56,7%) berjenis
kelamin laki-laki dan 26 (36%) adalah perempuan. Usia rata-rata 46,5 dan mata
pelajaran terbanyak adalah bahasa Batak. Dalam penelitian ini 29 pasien adalah
HP + (48,3%) dan 31 pasien HP – (51,7%), dan BMI rata-rata di HP + dan HP –
grup adalah 24.22±4 dan 22.53±3, dan itu tidak signifikan secara statis (p =
0.103).
Kesimpulan: Dalam penelitian ini, ada perbedaan tingkat adiponekin antara
infeksi H. pylori, bahwa hipoadiponectinemia telah meningkatkan risiko infeksi
H. pylori. Penelitian ini juga menemukan serum adiponectin lebih rendah dalam
IMT yang lebih tinggi dan lingkar perut.

The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
