Henry Ralph Francis
No full textHenry Ralph Francis was born at London on 11 July 1811. Educated at Brentford School and St. John's College, Cambridge (BA 1833, MA 1839), he was a Fellow of St. John's College from 7 April 1835 to March 1839 and a private tutor. His career continued from 1839 to 1843 as Principal of Kingston College, Hull, and from 1843 till 1855 as a private tutor at Hurley-on-the-Thames. Although he was admitted at the Inner Temple on 3 June 1844 and called to the Bar on 28 January 1848, he did not practise law in England. For two years from 1856 he studied under F O Haynes, a well-known lecturer in Equity. Francis arrived in Sydney on 11 August 1858 with his family. (1) On 2 January 1866 he described his arrival whilst appearing as a witness before the Select Committee on the Present State of the Colony. From 'long correspondence with well-informed friends resident in this Colony, and personal intercourse with them in their visits to England, I had a very fair notion before I came here, of the state of the Colony; I was not taken much by surprise'. (2)<br /><br />On 27 August 1859, Francis was admitted to the New South Wales Bar. (3) To supplement his income while practising law, he contributed newspaper articles and poems to the <em>Sydney Morning Herald</em>. On 1 July 1861 he was made a Judge of the District Courts for the Northern District of New South Wales, and Chairman of Northern District Quarter Sessions. This District covered Armidale, Tamworth, Tenterfield, Glen Innes, Grafton, West Kempsey, Port Macquarie and Wingham. He transferred to the South-western District on 1 May 1865, an area that covered Albury, Gundagai, Tumut, Wagga Wagga, Deniliquin and Hay. (4) On 2 January 1866 he described the demands of his job before the Select Committee. 'The first year, I travelled 4,000 miles; the second, 3,000; the third, 3,500; this year I have travelled about 3,500; and next year the figures will be raised to about 5,000.... It is more easy to get anything to Sydney and from Sydney, from any other place, than to get it to or from the interior.... If I am at Deniliquin, and wish to reach Sydney, my shortest route would be to go to Melbourne'. (5) Francis was prominent in the promotion of the National Mutual Life Association of Australia after its formation in 1869, and was later a director. (6)<br /><br />In 1871 his health deteriorated and he went on leave of absence without salary from 11 December, recuperating in Tasmania. He was also on leave in 1872 from 25 January to 19 April and 17 May to 8 July and 9 August to 19 October. In 1873 he took twelve months leave, visiting England. Although he returned to his role as District Court Judge and Chairman of Quarter Sessions of the South-western District in 1874, family problems and ill health saw him take leave from 9 January 1875 until his retirement on 7 June 1875. He returned to England where he made his living writing about his hobby of fly-fishing and Australia. He died at Bath, England, on 10 June 1900.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
