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
On the Characters in Zhuangzi
No full text以「人物」之形態、生活、與言行互動來呈顯哲學思維的論述方式，是《莊子》一書的重要特色。本文所言的「人物系譜」，指的是排列於關係脈絡中的眾多人物，這些人物各自代表著某種思想或觀念，即象徵著各類的思維型態，因此，人物是呈顯《莊子》思想之重要媒體。本文發現，我們可藉由〈寓言〉篇所提示的「三言」，將莊書人物分為「重言人物」與「寓言人物」兩大類，並由此審視莊書人物在表述莊子思想上的作用。
本文共分五章，第一章緒論，說明論文主題、方法與研究動機，並由「三言」來論證，人物是構成《莊子》文本最重要的主體。第二章，首先說明「寓言」、「重言」、「卮言」的意涵，並指出，「三言」的創用乃是「言」與「不言」之間的產物。其次，藉由三言的提示，將莊書人物分為「寓言人物」與「重言人物」兩大類，並說明此分類方法可能遭遇的困難、與解決途徑。第三章，分別從「先秦諸子」、「春秋群雄與士大夫」、「遠古帝王」這三類人物，來審視莊書如何透過「重言人物」來論述其對諸子思想的批判與抉擇，對君臣關係與政治權力的態度，對傳統君王形象的解構與重建，以及莊書理想中的桃花源等議題；並由此看出，莊子哲學中最重要的問題，就是如何安頓生命。第四章，分別從「形殘之人」、「非人之人」、「修道之人」，來審視莊書如何透過「寓言人物」來論道、喻道、以及其中關於修道的討論。第五章，以《莊子》人物系譜的整體概觀為結論，分別審視「重言人物」與「寓言人物」在表述莊子思想上的作用與意義。文末，並附有《莊子》人物系譜圖、《莊子》人物群像、以及《莊子》人物出處表，以資參考。An extremely remarkable feature of Zhuangzi莊子 is its specific way of discussing philosophical issues through a depiction of the mode of its characters, their ways of life, and the interaction between them. This thesis delineates the whole spectrum of the interrelated characters – they represent and symbolize ideas – in order to identify diversified modes of thought and assorted ways of thinking. As a medium of expressing thought, character is of great import in Zhuangzi. According to the implication of the three modes of discourse mentioned in the chapter “Yuyan” 寓言, I divide the characters in Zhuangzi into two main categories: “characters of heavy words” (zhong yan ren wu重言人物) and “characters of entrusted words” (yu yan ren wu寓言人物). With this classification of characters, I intend to examine the role of characters in Zhuangzi’s expression of thought.
This thesis comprises five chapters. The first chapter is devoted to explaining the subject, method, and motivation of this study, and contending that the characters play a principle role in the text of Zhuangzi through demonstrating the so-called “three modes of discourse” (san yan三言). The second chapter is an illustration of the three modes of discourse, namely the “entrusted words”, the “heavy words”, and the “goblet words” (zhi yan卮言). To solve the problem of the limitations of language, Zhuangzi establishes these three modes of discourse. They suggest sorting characters into two main categories: “characters of heavy words” and “characters of entrusted words”. Presumable problems and solutions in the process of classifying characters will be expounded in this chapter. In view of three kinds of characters, namely pre-Qin masters (xian qin zhu zi先秦諸子), Zhou Dynasty feudal lords (chun qiu qun xiong春秋群雄) and literati-officialdom (shi dai fu士大夫), legendary Chinese emperors (yuan gu di wang遠古帝王), mentioned in Zhuangzi, I seek to discuss following topics in the third chapter: through the “characters of heavy words”, how Zhuangzi shows the author’s criticism or absorption of the ideas from pre-Qin masters; the author’s attitude towards the relationship between a ruler and his officers; the deconstruction and reconstruction of the traditional image of a ruler; the ideal world depicted in Zhuangzi. With the above examination one can catch sight of the deepest motive underlying Zhuangzi’s philosophy – finding the way wherein a man can settle himself in the mutability of fate and the destiny of death. In the fourth chapter, with regard to “bodily deformed characters” (xing can zhi ren形殘之人), “nonhuman characters” (fei ren zhi ren非人之人) and “practicers of Dao” (xiu dao zhi ren修道之人), and through an interpretation of the “characters of entrusted words”, I scrutinize the matter of Dao道: the way Dao has been discussed, the metaphors of Dao, and the key to the attainment of Dao. In the final chapter, I will present a concise review of the classification of characters, where I will explain the role and significance of the “characters of heavy words” and the “characters of entrusted words” respectively.論文摘要 i

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.
