    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    “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

    Indonesia as one of the world's tin producers, not only has tin reserve from secondary deposit, but also has tin reserve from skarn-type primary deposit located on Belitung Island. The presence and characteristics of cassiterite in skarn-type of primary tin ore can be confirmed through sample characterization and have the potential to be separated from impurity minerals by flotation method. There are several factors that can affect the separation of valuable mineral from impurities through the flotation method, namely minerals association, the use of collector type scheme, pH condition of flotation and the use of depressant. The result of sample characterization showed that the primary tin ore of the skarn type from Belitung Island contained Sn in a low concentration of 0.1615% in the form of cassiterite. The flotation experiments carried out in two schemes. The first scheme was flotation on samples using SHA, SO and SHA + SO as collectors in the different pH values (pH 6, 7, 8, and 9) and flotation with the absence and presence of depressant at pH 8 for each type of collector. Recovery, grade, percent mass pull, enrichment ratio, separation efficiency, and selectivity index were the parameters used to assess flotation performance. Generally, the experimental results showed that cassiterite flotation in different pH values tend to show a better performance at pH 8. The flotation results of the three type of collectors showed that the recovery of Sn from SHA collector < SO < SHA+SO. In term of grade in the concentrate, the Sn grade of SO < SHA+SO < SHA collector. Flotation experiments from the three type of collectors in the absence and presence of depressant showed that flotation performance was better in the absence of depressant.Indonesia sebagai salah satu produsen timah dunia, selain memiliki cadangan timah dari endapan sekunder juga memiliki cadangan timah dari endapan primer tipe skarn yang terletak di Pulau Belitung. Keterdapatan serta karakteristik mineral kasiterit pada bijih timah primer tipe skarn dapat dikonfirmasi melalui karakterisasi sampel dan berpotensi untuk dipisahkan dari mineral-mineral pengotornya dengan metode flotasi. Ada beberapa faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi pemisahan mineral berharga dari pengotor melalui metode flotasi yaitu asosiasi mineral, skema penggunaan jenis kolektor, kondisi pH, penggunaan depresan dan lain-lain. Hasil karakterisasi sampel menunjukkan bahwa bijih timah primer tipe skarn asal Pulau Belitung mengandung Sn dengan kadar rendah yaitu 0,1615% dalam bentuk mineral kasiterit. Percobaan flotasi yang dilakukan terdiri dari dua skema. Skema pertama yaitu flotasi menggunakan kolektor SHA, SO dan SHA+SO dengan variasi pH 6, 7, 8, dan 9 dan skema kedua yaitu flotasi dengan penggunaan dan tanpa penggunaan depresan pada pH 8 untuk masing-masing jenis kolektor. Perolehan, kadar produk, percent mass pull, nisbah pengayaan, efisiensi pemisahan, dan indeks selektivitas merupakan parameter-parameter yang digunakan untuk menilai performa flotasi. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa flotasi kasiterit pada variasi pH cenderung menunjukkan performa yang lebih baik pada pH 8. Flotasi dengan variasi jenis kolektor menunjukkan bahwa recovery Sn kolektor SHA < SO < SHA+SO. Jika ditinjau dari segi kadar pada konsentrat, maka kadar Sn SO < SHA+SO < SHA. Percobaan flotasi menggunakan ketiga jenis kolektor pada kondisi penggunaan dan tanpa penggunaan depresan menunjukkan bahwa performa flotasi lebih baik pada kondisi tanpa penggunaan depresan

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    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 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 link
    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

    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

    No full text
    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.
