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
Організація збору біологічних матеріалів у вивченні природного прототипу бабезійної інфекції
No full textUkraine's enzootic in accordance with natural focal diseases including babesiosis, makes the research undertaken relevant.
Aim of the study: to determine the stages in organising the collection of biological materials in the study of the natural prototype of babesiosis.
Materials and methods of research. Objects were murine rodents of Muridae family of genera Myodes, Microtus, Apodemus, Sylvaemus of natural habitats of forest-steppe zone of Ukraine, their ectoparasites-carriers of babesiosis - ticks of family Ixodidae. Collection, accumulation and registration of biological materials was carried out in the conditions of scientific expeditions. Regional geography of them concerned Volyn, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv regions of Ukraine.
Results. A total of 63 wild rodents were captured and used in the study. They were adult mice of both sexes, weighing 45-90 g, belonging to the Muridae family, genera Myodes, Microtus, Apodemus, Sylvaemus. Each group of animals gravitated to a specific geographical area of existence with appropriate attributes of flora and fauna. Collection and recording of those on rodent-feeding animals showed that Ixods differ according to phases of development, blood feeding, sex attributes and species affiliation.
Conclusions. Nosological profile of babesiosis as a natural focal obligate-transmissible protozoan blood parasitosis determined methodology of epizootic assessment of area, natural prototype of disease, collection of biological material samples (BMS). BMS collection activities for babesiosis are seasonally dependent. Conducted researches should be focused on 3 links of epizootic or epidemic chain of babesiosis. Invasion by babesia ticks in optimal natural-climatic conditions of development, annual contact with animals led to formation of a latent focus of babesiosisЭнзоотичность Украины в соответствии с природно–очаговыми заболеваниями, в том числе, бабезиозом обусловливает актуальность предпринятого исследования.
Цель исследования: определить этапы в организации сбора биологических материалов в изучении природного прототипа бабезиоза.
Материалы и методы исследований. Объекты – мишевидные грызуны семейства Muridae родов Myodes, Microtus, Apodemus, Sylvaemus природных ареалов лесостепной зоны Украины, их эктопаразиты-переносчики бабезиоза - клещи семейства Ixodidае. Сбор, накопление и учет биологических материалов проводился в условиях научных экспедиций. Региональная география таковых касалась Волынской, Житомирской, Киевской, Полтавской, Сумской, Харьковской, Черниговской областей Украины
Результаты. Количество выловленных и использованных в исследовании диких мышевидных грызунов составляло 63 особи. Ими были взрослые мыши обоего пола, весом 45-90 г, принадлежащие к семейству Muridae родам Myodes, Microtus, Apodemus, Sylvaemus. Каждая группа животных тяготела к определенному географическому ареалу существования с соответствующими атрибутами флоры и фауны. Сбор и учет таковых на животных грызунах–прокормителях показал, что иксоды разнятся в соответствии с фазами развития, уровнем питания кровью, половыми признаками, видовой принадлежностью.
Выводы. Нозологический профиль бабезиоза как природно-очагового облигатно-трансмиссивного протозойного кровопаразитоза, обуславливал методологию эпизоотической оценки местности, природного прототипа заболевания, сбора образцов биологического материала (ОБМ). Мероприятия по сбору ОБМ по бабезиозу являются сезонно зависимыми. Проводимые исследования должны ориентироваться на 3 звена эпизоотической либо эпидемической цепи бабезиоза. Инвазия бабезиями клещей в оптимальных природно – климатических условиях развития, ежегодного контакта с животными приводила к формированию латентного очата бабезиозаЕнзоотичність України за природно–осередковими захворюваннями, у тому числі, бабезіозом зумовлює актуальність започаткованого дослідження.
Мета дослідження: визначити етапи в організації збору біологічних матеріалів у вивченні природного прототипу бабезіозу.
Матеріали та методи дослідження. Об’єкти - мишоподібні гризуни родини Muridae родів Myodes, Microtus, Apodemus Sylvaemus природних ареалів лісостепової зони України, їхні ектопаразити-переносники бабезіозу - кліщі родини Ixodidае. Збір, накопичення та облік біологічних матеріалів виконувався за умов наукових експедицій. Регіональна географія останніх стосувалась Волинської, Житомирської, Київської, Полтавської, Сумської, Харківської, Чернігівської областей України.
Результати. Кількість виловлених та застосованих у дослідженні диких мишоподібних гризунів становила 63 особин. Ними були дорослі особини обоє статі, вагою 45-90 г, що належали до родини Muridae родів Myodes, Microtus, Apodemus, Sylvaemus. Кожна група тварин тяжіла до певного географічного ареалу існування з відповідними атрибутами флори та фауни. Збір та облік останніх на тваринах гризунах–годувальниках показав, що іксоди різнились за фазами розвитку, рівнем живлення кров’ю, статевими ознаками, видовою належністю.
Висновки. Нозологічний профіль бабезіозу як природно-осередкового облігатно-трансмісивного протозойного кровопаразитозу, зумовлював методологію епізоотичної оцінки місцевості, природного прототипу хвороби, збору зразків біологічного матеріалу (ЗБМ). Заходи по збору ЗБМ за бабезіозом є сезонно залежними. Дослідження, що проводились повинні орієнтуватись на 3 ланки епізоотичного чи епідемічного ланцюгів бабезіозу. Інвазія бабезіями кліщів в оптимальних природно - кліматичних умовах розвитку, щорічного контакту із тваринами призводила до формування латентного осередку бабезіоз

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.
