Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Epistolario para matar el tiempo
Get PDFilustraciones, diagramas, fotografíasAquí me pongo en la tarea de intentar renunciar al tiempo tal y como lo conocemos. En esta narrativa estoy de pelea con las cronometrías y me sumerjo en la búsqueda de un tiempo propio, biológico, subjetivo, que no se mide en fracciones exactas, sino que depende de estados de ánimo, de la improductividad, del compartir con amigos y del cuidado de mi hogar y mi familia. Se trata de una puesta en escena - instalación dónde voy en estaciones jugando a quebrar mi relación con el tiempo convencional y buscando una puerta de entrada a un tiempo subjetivo. En la primera estación de la secuencia de imágenes-acciones mastico hojas de un calendario mientras corre un video donde barro mi casa y enfrasco el polvo recogido. En la siguiente estación entro en un túnel hecho de cajas, metafóricamente me pongo en la búsqueda de un ritmo interior, lo hago sacando la mano por una ventanita y tocando un piano viejo. Lo siguiente que se activa es un video donde trato de traspasar una pared, me hago consiente de que esto de salir del tiempo es un imposible, pero desafío esa imposibilidad, así como se ve en un par de fotos donde aparecen los rastros de caminadas que hago por las paredes de mi casa. Las siguientes acciones en el guión son: perforar mi colección de calendarios de bolsillo y quebrar algunos relojes de pulsera con un par de martillos en una especie de instrumento marimba que intenta reproducir torpemente un ruido del tiempo. Dentro de esta instalación también hay un mapa del mundo invertido con los nombres de los países tapados, que confirma la idea de negación de lo que nos han dado como verdades: el tiempo, las geografías y las divisiones políticas que en este ejercicio pretendo desdibujar. Este proyecto va acompañado por un texto escrito a manera de cartas para mis hijos que fueron escritas para ser leídas en el año 2036 cuando ellos alcancen mi edad actual. En el texto concluyo que cada persona habita un tiempo, un mundo particular, y que la idea de que compartimos un mundo y un tiempo es una cuestión paradigmática. La tutora de esta tesis fue la filósofa y maestra Adriana Urrea. (Texto tomado de la fuente).Here I put my self on the task of trying to give up time as we know it. In this narrative I am fighting with chronometry and I dive in searching for my own, biological, subjective time, which is not measured in exact fractions, but depends on the mood, the unproductive, the fact of sharing with friends and taking care of my home and my family. This work is an installation-stage that goes on threw stations where I play to break my relation with conventional time and looking for a gateway to a subjective time. In the first stage of the action I chew leaves of a calendar while running a video where I sweep my house and collect the dust into jars. At the next station I enter a tunnel made of boxes, metaphorically I´m looking for an inner rhythm, I do it taking out my hand threw a little window and playing an old piano. The next thing that occurs is a video where I try to pass a wall, I 'm aware that this idea of going out of time is impossible, but I challenge that impossibility, as seen in a couple of pictures which shows traces of walks I made up through the walls of my house. The following actions in the script are: pierce my collection of pocket calendars and break some watches with a pair of hammers in a kind of instrument marimba clumsily trying to play the sound of time. Within this system there is also an inverted world map with the names of the countries covered, supporting the concept of denial what have been given to us as truths: time systems and political divisions. This project is accompanied by a text written by way of letters to my children. These letters were written to be read in 2036 when they reach my current age. The text concluded that each person inhabits a time, a particular world, and the idea that we share a world and a time is a paradigmatic issue.MaestríaMagíster Interdisciplinar en Teatro y Artes VivasArte
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.
