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
3D-Modellierung der Hochstegen-Formation des westlichen Tauernfensters im Bereich Brennerpass, Tirol-Südtirol
No full textDie jurassische Hochstegen-Formation des westlichen Tauernfensters ist Teil der autochtonen Sedimentbedeckung des prä-alpidischen, passiven Kontinentalrandes Europas. Die Formation transgrediert über Horste variszischen Grundgebirges und permischer Intrusionen, und Trögen mit Füllungen von lithologisch sehr variablen, permo-karbonen bis triassischenSedimenten. Die Hochstegen-Formation selbst wird überwiegend aus dem Hochstegen-Marmor und dem Disthen-Quarzit aufgebaut und erfuhr eine Amphibolith-fazielle Metamorphose während der Känozoischen alpinen Orogenese.
In dieser Arbeit wurden der tektonische Deckenbau im Allgemeinen, sowie die Hochstegen-Formation im Detail untersucht, inklusive dem Kontakt zur überlagernden Kaserer-Serie. Die Arbeit basiert auf detaillierter lithologischer und strukturgeologischer Kartierarbeiten.Mehrere tiefe Bohrkerne des Explorationsprogrammes des Brennerbasistunnels wurden mit einbezogen. Mit der Modellierungssoftware MOVE von Petex wurden die Resultate in ein 3D-Modell der Hochstegen-Formation überführt. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, das Verständnis über die Strukturen der zum Teil verkarstungsfähigen Hochstegen-Formation zu verbessern. Dies ist besonders für hydrogeologische Fragestellungen rund um den Bau des Brennerbasistunnels von großem Interesse. Unsere Untersuchungen ergeben ein neues tektonisches Modell, welches großmaßstäbliche isoklinale Faltung und interne Überschiebung der Hochstegen-Formation zeigt. Zwischen der Flatschspitze im Süden und dem Valsertal im Norden tritt die Hochstegen-Formation einerseits als autochtone Sedimentbedeckung der zentralen Gneiskerne mit transgressivem Kontakt, andererseits in der darüber liegenden Wolfendorn-Decke auf. Wir interpretieren den Kontakt zwischen Kaserer-Serie und dem Top der Hochstegen-Formation der Wolfendorn-Decke als duktil-tektonisch und nicht als sedimentär. Deshalb schlagen wir ein Vor-Mittel-Jurassisches Alter für die Kaserer-Serie, und eine Deckengrenze an der Basis der Serie, vor. Dies führt zu einer Reduktion der Wolfendorn-Decke auf ein einziges Paket der Hochstegen-Formation. Die miozäne Aufdomung des Tauernfensters reaktiviert und überprägt diese älteren tektonischen Deckenkontakte als West-gerichtete Abschiebungen im Liegenden der Brennerabschiebung. Außerdem wird der Deckenstapel von einer Reihe Nordost-Südwest-streichenden, spröden, sinistralen Seitenverschiebungen überprägt.The Jurassic Hochstegen Formation in the western Tauern Window is part of the autochthonous sedimentary cover of the external, pre-alpidic passive continental European margin. The Formation transgresses on structural highs, built up by Variscan basement and Permian intrussions, and troughs, filled with a lithological highly variable succession of permo-carboniferrous to triassic sediments. The Hochstegen Formation is predominantly built up by the Hochstegen Marble and the Dsithen-Quartzite and underwent up to Amphibolite facies metamorphism during alpine orogeny.
In this study we have investigated the nappe stack in general and the Hochstegen Formation in detail including its contact to the overlaying Kaserer Series. The study is based on detailed lithological and structural mapping including several deep drill cores of the exploration campaign for the Brenner Base Tunnel. The results were used to elaborate a 3D model using Petex MOVE. The study aims to improve the knowledge about subsurface structures of the partly karstified Hochstegen Marble, which are of high interest for the Brenner Base Tunnel, especially for hydrogeological questions. Our investigation reveals a new tectonic model, showing big scale isoclinal folding and internal thrusting of the Hochstegen Formation related to the nappe stacking within the Tauern Window. Between Flatschspitz in the south and Vals valley in the north, the Hochstegen Formation occurs on the one hand as autochthonous cover of the central gneiss with transgressive contact to it, and on the other hand in the overlying Wolfendorn nappe. We interpret the contact between Kaserer Series and the top of the Hochstegen Formation to be a ductile tectonic nappe contact, and not sedimentary. Therefore, we suggest a Pre-Middle Jurassic age for the Kaserer Series, and a tectonic nappe boundary at its base. This leads to a thinning of the Wolfendorn Nappe, which is reduced to a single slice of Hochstegen Formation. Miocene rising of the Tauern Window rework and overprint these older tectonic boundaries by normal faulting along the Brenner fault and by a set of NE-SW striking brittle sinistral strike slip faults.Simon Hinterwirth, BScAbstract in englischer SpracheMasterarbeit Universität Innsbruck 202
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.
