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
Σημασιολογικό πλαίσιο για την αφαιρετικότητα αντικειμένων και εφαρμογών στο διαδίκτυο του μέλλοντος
No full textThe rapid evolution of the Internet technologies leads to the deployment of the new infrastructures that allow the interconnection of an increasingly larger number of devices and machines on the Internet. The dramatically increasing number of devices and machines that embed Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capabilities has led to a new era for the Internet that is known as “Internet of Things” (IoT) and it will constitute core part of the Future Internet. The huge amounts of the real world things/objects that will be part of the IoT, the heterogeneity of the communication technologies, as well as the requirements for the provision of composite functional capabilities and complex IoT services and applications, require the design and the development of innovative technological solutions that will enable the management of heterogeneous IoT infrastructures.The abstraction of things and the application constitutes the milestone for the deployment of innovative IoT solutions, by realizing the vision of real world things that will be complemented by semantically enriched “virtual abstract representations”, making them available in the IoT world. The development of “virtual abstract representations” requires the composition of techniques, methodologies and technologies from the fields of the “Virtualization”, for the software abstraction of things and applications functionalities, and the “Semantics”, for the semantically enriched description of the virtualized entities’ capabilities. Furthermore, the management and the exploitation of the functional capabilities provided by the virtualized entities, requires the introduction of cognitive technologies, for the cognitive management, in different functional levels, ranging from the virtual things level to the level of the services and the applications.Considering the above, this dissertation focuses on the design and the development of a “Semantic Framework for the abstraction of things and applications for the Future Internet”. The architectural design of the proposed framework composes technologies from the “Semantics”, the “Cognitive Management”, as well as from the “Virtualization” and by extension from the field of the Cloud computing. These technological fields are composed so as to structure an innovative solution as the outcome of this dissertation. Aiming to this achievement, the framework initially introduces concepts of the semantic modelling and the virtualization of things, as the enablers for the abstraction and the aggregation of the functional capabilities of the real world things, creating virtual abstract representations complemented by semantic descriptions. The building blocks of the “Semantic Abstraction and Virtualization of Things”, and the “Semantic Storage System” support the software virtualization and the semantic description data management, of the semantically enriched abstract virtual representations, respectively. The cognitive management of the virtualized things, in terms of their deployment, composition and control, for the provision of composite functional capabilities is achieved by the “Cognitive Management and Composition of Virtual Things” building block. Complementing the last building block with the “Cognitive Management of Services” building block, the proposed framework allows the cognitive management of (composite) virtual things and services. The services are realized based on the composite virtual things and provide complex functional capabilities that satisfy advanced IoT requirements, supporting in the same time the provision of innovative IoT applications. Moreover, the cloud computing architectural principles are adopted, allowing the introduction of an integrated Cloud-IoT framework that ensures high-performance, availability and support scalability features. Finally, this dissertation aims to the validation of the proposed framework as an appropriate solution for the Future Internet challenges.Η αλματώδης εξέλιξη των διαδικτυακών τεχνολογιών έχει οδηγήσει στην ανάπτυξη νέων υποδομών που επιτρέπουν την διασύνδεση όλο και περισσότερων συσκευών και μηχανών στο διαδίκτυο. Ο θεαματικά αυξανόμενος αριθμός συσκευών και μηχανών με δυνατότητες διασύνδεσης στο διαδίκτυο έχει οδηγήσει στην εκκίνηση μιας νέας εποχής του διαδικτύου, που αναφέρεται ως το «Διαδίκτυο των Αντικειμένων» - “Internet of Things” (IoT), το οποίο και θα αποτελέσει κύριο κορμό του Μελλοντικού Διαδικτύου. Το μεγάλο πλήθος αντικειμένων, του πραγματικού κόσμου, που δύναται να γίνουν μέρος του IoT, η ποικιλία των δικτύων και των επικοινωνιών που θα πρέπει να υποστηρίζονται, καθώς και οι απαιτήσεις για την παροχή σύνθετων λειτουργικών δυνατοτήτων και IoT υπηρεσιών και εφαρμογών, απαιτούν τον σχεδιασμό, την ανάπτυξη και την χρήση νέων τεχνολογιών που θα καταστήσουν δυνατή την αποτελεσματική διαχείριση ετερογενών IoT υποδομών.Η «αφαιρετικότητα» - “abstraction” αντικειμένων και εφαρμογών αποτελεί ακρογωνιαίο λίθο για την αποτελεσματική υποστήριξη των απαιτήσεων στο IoT, πραγματοποιώντας την ιδέα κατά την οποία, κάθε αντικείμενο που είναι διαθέσιμο, προσβάσιμο και ελέγξιμο στον πραγματικό κόσμο, μπορεί να έχει μια σημασιολογικά εμπλουτισμένη «εικονική αναπαράσταση» – “virtual representation” στο IoT. Για την ανάπτυξη «εικονικών αναπαραστάσεων» - “virtual representations” απαιτείται ο συνδυασμός τεχνικών, μεθοδολογιών και τεχνολογιών από το πεδίο της «εικονικοποίηση» - “virtualization”, για την βασιζόμενη στο λογισμικό αφαιρετικότητα των αντικειμένων και των εφαρμογών, και της «Σημασιολογίας» - “Semantics”, για την ανάπτυξη σημασιολογικών περιγραφών των λειτουργικών δυνατοτήτων των εικονικοποιημένων οντοτήτων. Επιπλέον, η διαχείριση και αξιοποίηση των λειτουργικών δυνατοτήτων των εικονικών αντικειμένων, απαιτεί την εισαγωγή γνωσιακών τεχνολογιών διαχείρισης σε διαφορετικά επίπεδα λειτουργικότητας, κυμαινόμενα από το επίπεδο εικονικών οντοτήτων, στο επίπεδο υπηρεσιών και εφαρμογών.Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα παραπάνω, η παρούσα διατριβή εστιάζει στο σχεδιασμό και την ανάπτυξη «Σημασιολογικού Πλαισίου για την αφαιρετικότητα αντικειμένων και εφαρμογών στο Διαδίκτυο του μέλλοντος». Ο αρχιτεκτονικός σχεδιασμός του προτεινόμενου πλαισίου συνδυάζει τεχνολογίες από το χώρο της «Σημασιολογίας» - “Semantics”, της «Γνωσιακής διαχείρισης» – “Cognitive Management”, καθώς και του πεδίου της «εικονικοποίησης»-“Virtualization” και κατ’ επέκταση από το χώρο του «Υπολογιστικού νέφους» - “Cloud Computing”. Τα παραπάνω τεχνολογικά πεδία συνθέτονται προκειμένου να δομήσουν μια καινοτόμο λύση που θα προκύψει ως αποτέλεσμα της παρούσας διατριβής. Στοχεύοντας στη επίτευξη αυτού του στόχου, το προτεινόμενο πλαίσιο εισάγει τις έννοιες της σημασιολογικής μοντελοποίησης και της εικονικοποίησης των αντικειμένων, ως τα στοιχεία που θα επιτρέψουν την αφαιρετικότητα και την ενοποίηση των λειτουργικών δυνατοτήτων των αντικειμένων του πραγματικού κόσμου, αναπτύσσοντας αφαιρετικές εικονικές αναπαραστάσεις που συμπληρώνονται από την σημασιολογική τους περιγραφή. Τα αρχιτεκτονικά δομικά τμήματα «Σημασιολογικής Αφαιρετικότητας και Εικονικοποίηση Αντικειμένων», και «Σημασιολογικού Συστήματος Αποθήκευσης», υποστηρίζουν την εικονικοποίηση και την διαχείριση των σημασιολογικών δεδομένων των σημασιολογικά εμπλουτισμένων εικονικών αναπαραστάσεων, αντιστοίχως. Η γνωσιακή διαχείριση των εικονικών αντικειμένων, υπό τις έννοιες της σύνθεσης και ανάπτυξης τους, καθώς και του ελέγχου τους, για την παροχή σύνθετων λειτουργικών δυνατοτήτων, επιτυγχάνεται από το δομικό τμήμα «Γνωσιακής Διαχείρισης και Σύνθεσης Εικονικών Αντικειμένων». Το τελευταίο δομικό τμήμα, σε συνδυασμό με αυτό της «Γνωσιακής Διαχείρισης Υπηρεσιών», επιτρέπουν την εισαγωγή δυνατοτήτων γνωσιακής διαχείρισης σύνθετων εικονικών οντοτήτων και υπηρεσιών από το προτεινόμενο πλαίσιο. Οι υπηρεσίες προκύπτουν ως αποτέλεσμα και βασίζουν τις λειτουργικές τους δυνατότητες στη σύνθεσης των εικονικών οντοτήτων, παρέχοντας σύνθετες λειτουργικές δυνατότητες που ικανοποιούν τις απαιτήσεις του IoT, υποστηρίζοντας επιπλέον την παροχή προηγμένων IoT εφαρμογών. Επιπροσθέτως, οι αρχές του «Υπολογιστικού Νέφους» υιοθετούνται στα πλαίσια του προτεινόμενου πλαισίου, επιτρέποντας την ανάπτυξη του ως Cloud-IoT υποδομή, εξασφαλίζοντας υψηλή διαθεσιμότητα, αποδοτικότητα και επεκτασιμότητα της υποδομής. Τέλος, βασικός στόχος αυτής της διατριβής είναι να επικυρώσει ότι το «Σημασιολογικό Πλαίσιο» είναι κατάλληλο για την αντιμετώπιση των προκλήσεων του «Μελλοντικού Διαδικτύου»

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.
