Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

Author: Zhao Dangzhi
Publication venue
Publication date: 01/01/2005
Field of study

The 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

Field of study

“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

Field of study

We 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 authorsâ€™ 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

Author: Zhao Dangzhi
Publication venue
Publication date: 01/01/2006
Field of study

We 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

Uitbreiden van GNAS-gerelateerde pathologie op basis van genetische en epigenetische studies

Author: Izzi Benedetta

Field of study

TheGNAS cluster, located on chromosome20q13 gives rise to several transcripts, antisensetranscripts andnoncoding RNAs, including transcription of the gene for the stimulatory G-proteinalpha subunit (Gsα), which interacts with adenylyl cyclase to generate cAMP. It comprisesfour alternative first exons and promoters that splice onto exon 2 of theclassical GNAS gene, and that are alllocated in three differentially methylated regions (DMRs) namelyNESP, XL and ExonA/B. The phenotypes resulting from genetic and epigenetic abnormalitiesof the GNAS region include AlbrightHereditary Osteodystrophy (AHO), pseudohypoparathyroidism types Ia (PHP-Ia) andIb (PHP-Ib), and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP). PHP-Ia and PPHP arecaused by inactivating GNASmutations, while PHP-Ib results from epigenetic GNAS mutations. All different aspects of epigenetics and with afocus on DNA methylation and the imprinted GNAScluster are reviewed in chapters 1and 3.Our research groupdeveloped a reproducible and reliable platelet-based functional Gs test, termedplatelet aggregation-inhibition test which is based uponinhibition of platelet aggregation by cAMP after Gs stimulation. Via this test270 patients with AHO features were screened and further classified in Gs hypo-(24%), hyper- (15%) or normal function. My PhD project will mainly focus on the finding of new(epi)genetic causes associated with an AHO phenotype and/or having PTHresistance in combination with a defective platelet Gs signaling pathway. In chapters 5 and 6, we have described theset up and validation of methodologies to study methylation in the different GNAS DMRs. Chapter 5 reports an easy screening method to detect pronounced GNAS methylation abnormalities such as forPHP-Ib patients. Chapters 6 fully describe the optimization and validationof a quantitative methodology (Sequenom EpiTYPER mass-array) that allows thesimultaneously study of different CpGs on large samples sets. The technique wasvalidated in PHP-Ib and PHP-Ia cases to quantify their GNAS methylation defect. Chapter7 reports the first study of GNASCopy Number Variants (CNVs) that showedno evidence for CNVs in AHO patientswith or without abnormal Gs platelet function. PPHP patients with Gshypofunction but no GNAS codingmutation were investigated for imprinting defects in chapter 8. Since AHO features are shared characteristics also withother imprinting dysorders, we have also studied other imprinting genes such asIGF2/H19, SNURF and GRB10. We found that PPHP patients have XL and IGF2hypermethylation in combination with SNURF hypomethylation. SinceGs hypofunction was also found in platelets from 5 spina bifida patients withAlbrights Hereditary Osteodystrophy carrying a peculiar GNAS splice mutation, 96 other spina bifida cases were included forfurther (epi‐)genetic GNAS studies (chapter 9). Identification of abnormalExonA/B methylation in 20% of 77 patients was the basis for further methylationstudies in SB patients. Evidence exists for a possible role for methylation inthe aetiology of NTDs (chapter 2 forreview on NTDs). We have studied for the first time DNA methylation in SB casesat genomic-scale level using the human 27K BeadChip array from Illumina thatincludes more than 27.000 CpGs. CpGs in ZNF718,KCNQ1, GSTT1, TP53INP1, MRI1 and ACOT11 were significantly hypermethylated, while the FL45964 CpGs werehypomethylated in SB patients. The genome-wide findings were replicated withthe Sequenom EpiTYPER and confirmed on a total of 101 SB patients for ACOT11, GSTT1 and ZNF718. The zebrafish ortholog ACOT11a gene was depleted in zebrafish embryos and life-screeningexperiments revealed a phenotype of neurulation defects but this deservesfurther characterization. Further studies on larger patients sets are needed tobetter characterize these preliminary findings. In conclusion, we have expanded human GNAS-related pathology by both geneticand epigenetic studies revealing a potential relevant role of this gene in theaetiology of different pathological phenotypes, once again highlighting theextreme complexity of this fascinating, and still not completely known,imprinted gene cluster.status: Publishe

We 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

Author: Williams James.
Williams Jay.
Publication venue
Publication date
Field of study

In 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.
