Thomas K. Jackson journals, W.0021
No full textAbstract: Four journals documenting the daily life of Thomas K. Jackson.Scope and Content Note: This collection includes four journals documenting the daily life of Thomas K. Jackson. Two small notebooks, each thirty-six pages long, include entries from 1868 and 1869. The first journal includes entries from June to December 1868, while the second documents events between February to April 1869. Two larger journals, approximately 100 pages each, consist of entries from 1866; the first notebook includes entries from January to May, while the second covers the period between June and December. Entries include financial notes, descriptions of the weather, and comments on church services. Jackson also records family news, discussing his relationship with his wife, the development of his young child, and the health of other family members. The collection also includes a red satin ribbon bookmark which reads, "spring meeting 1873," and a small cross stitch piece reading "think of me."Biographical/Historical Note: Thomas K. Jackson was born on December 12, 1824, in Abbeville, South Carolina. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, in 1848. After leaving West Point, Jackson began his military career as a member of the Fourth Regiment, U.S. Artillery and the Fifth U.S. Infantry, serving in Texas and New Mexico. In 1857, he returned to West Point to serve as an instructor. In April 1861, Jackson resigned his position in the U.S. Army to join the Confederate Army, where he accepted a post as the commissary of subsistence serving under General Albert Sidney Johnston. In 1863, he married Lucy Reavis, daughter of Alabama lawyer Turner Reavis. The couple had five children: Reavis, Mary, Thomas M., Temple, and Lucy R. Thomas K. Jackson settled in Gainesville, Alabama, in 1866, where he worked as a cotton planter. Jackson died on August 5, 1902 in Gainesville
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

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
