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
Functional status, environmental factors, participation and depression and their relationship with quality of life (Qol) in neurological rehabilitation patients
No full textBu çalışmanın amacı ambulasyon güçlüğü olan nörolojik rehabilitasyon hastalarında yaşam kalitesi (YK) üzerine etkili olabilecek demografik ve klinik özellikler, fonksiyonel durum, çevresel etmenler, katılım ve depresyon durumunu karşılaştırmalı olarak araştırmak, bu etmenlerin YK ile ilişkisini incelemektir.Çalışmaya ambulasyon güçlüğü nedeniyle rehabilitasyon polikliniğine başvuran, çalışma ölçütlerine uyan omurilik yaralanması (OY) (n=40), inme (n=36) ve multipl skleroz (MS) (n=27) tanısı olan 70 erkek, 33 kadın toplam 103 hasta alındı. Demografik ve klinik bilgileri yanında fonksiyonel durum, çevresel etmenler, katılım (engellilik), depresyon ve YK değerlendirildi.Ortalama yaş 48 yıl, hastalık süresi 66 ay idi. Hastalık grupları arasında fonksiyonel bağımsızlık ölçümü (FBÖ), çevresel etmenler, engellilik, depresyon ve YK sosyal ve çevresel alan skorları açısından fark bulunmadı. OY grubunun FBÖ bilişsel skoru, bilişsel bağımsızlık ve sosyal uyum engellilik skorları ve YK ruhsal sağlık alanı skoru diğerlerinden daha yüksek, MS grubunun YK bedensel sağlık alanı skoru diğerlerinden daha düşüktü. Çalışma popülasyonunda YK alanları FBÖ ve katılım ile pozitif, çevresel etmenler ve depresyon ile negatif ilişkiliydi. Depresyon OY ve inme grubunda tüm YK alanları ile, MS grubunda ise sadece ruhsal sağlık alanı ile negatif ilişkili; FBÖ OY grubunda sadece bedensel sağlık alanı ile, inme ve MS grubunda ise ruhsal sağlık ve sosyal alan ile de pozitif ilişkili; OY grubunda çevresel etmenler ve katılım YK ruhsal sağlık alanı ile ilişkili olmayıp, inme grubunda her ikisi ile pozitif ilişkili bulundu.Bulgularımız, YK'sinin fonksiyonel durum ve katılım düzeyi yüksek olanlarda daha iyi, çevresel etmenlerden fazla etkilenenler ve depresyon düzeyi daha yüksek olanlarda daha düşük olduğunu, OY olgularında bilişsel işlevlerin ve YK ruhsal sağlık alanının daha az etkilendiğini, MS olgularında ise YK bedensel sağlık alanının daha fazla etkilendiğini düşündürmektedir.The aim of this study was to compare demographic and clinical factors with ambulation difficulties.A total of 103 patients (70 men, 33 women) admitting to rehabilitation department due to ambulation difficulties caused by spinal cord injury (SCI) (n=40), stroke (n=36) and multiple sclerosis (MS) (n=27) were included in the study. Demographic and clinical features as well as functional status, environmental factors, participation, depression and QoL were assessed.Mean age was 48 years, disease duration was 66 months. No significant difference was noted in terms of functional independence measure (FIM), environmental factors, handicap, depression scores and QoL social and environmental domains between the groups. SCI group had higher cognitive FIM score, cognitive independence and social integration handicap scores and QoL psychological health domain scores than other groups. MS group had lower QoL physical health domain score than other groups. QoL domains were found to be positively correlated with FIM and handicap scores and negatively correlated with environmental factors and depression scores. Depression was negatively correlated with all QoL domains in SCI and stroke groups and only with psychological health domain in MS group. FIM was positively correlated only with physical health domain in SCI group and with psychological health and social domains in stroke and MS groups. While environmental factors and handicap were not correlated with psychological health domain in SCI group, they were correlated with these domains in stroke group.Our findings suggest that good functional status and participation level is associated with better QoL, while environmental factors and depression are associated with worse QoL; SCI patients experience less cognitive problems and their psychological health domain is less affected; and MS patients are more affected in terms of physical health domain

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.
