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

Jok'ikisen Kukka & Lahjan mainoskampanja
Full text linkTämän opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli luoda mainoskampanja Jok’ikisen Kukka & Lahjalle. Yritys sijaitsee Hallissa ja perustettiin Hallin asukkaiden toiveesta. Yritykselle riitti kysyntää sillä edellisen kukkakauppiaan eläkkeelle jäämisestä oli kulunut jo aikaa. Lisäksi lähimmät kukkakaupat ovat yli 20 kilometrin päässä Hallista, Mäntässä ja Jämsässä. Yrityksen aiempi markkinointi oli puutteellinen eikä se ollut yhtenäistä, joten tämä mainoskampanja on yritykselle ja yrittäjälle tarpeellinen.
Teoria osuus käsittelee mainoskampanjaan ja sen tekemiseen liittyvien asioiden teoriaa sekä sitä kuinka nämä koskevat Jok’ikisen Kukka & Lahjaa. Siinä ei syvennytty esimerkiksi kotisivujen varsinaiseen tekemiseen eli koodaukseen vaan siihen, millaiset ovat hyvät kotisivut yrityksen markkinoinnissa. Raportti kirjoitettiin ajatuksella että se toimii eräänlaisena ohjekirjana yrittäjälle yrityksen markkinointia koskien.
Mainoskampanjan käytännön osuudessa luotiin kotisivut, paperimainokset, blogi ja käyntikortti yritykselle. Kotisivujen tärkeys yritykselle on suuri, sillä yrityksellä ei aiemmin ollut kotisivuja ja nykyaikana melkein kaikilla yrityksillä odotetaan olevan kotisivut. Työvälineinä kotisivuja ja mainoksia tehtäessä käytettiin Adoben ohjelmia Dreamweaver ja Photoshop sekä W3schools -sivustoa. Prosessin aikana mietittiin ja testattiin erilaisia väri- ja rakennevaihtoehtoja, joista ensimmäinen hylättiin melkein heti työn alussa, mutta lopulta päädyttiin nykyiseen ratkaisuun. Tuotteita näytettiin ulkopuolisille tahoille ja testattiin toimivatko mainokset ja kotisivut käytännössä potentiaalisiin asiakkaisiin. Saatujen kommenttien perusteella tiettyjä kohtia tuotteista muokattiin ja muutosten myötä tuotteista tuli selkeämpiä tulkita.
Prosessin aikana yritykselle luotiin markkinointiviestintäsuunnitelma, kotisivut, paperimainokset, blogi ja käyntikortti sekä perehdytys sissimarkkinointiin. Blogin ja kotisivujen julkaisu ei tapahtunut opinnäytetyön aikana vaan julkaisu ajankohta on yrittäjän päätettävissä, koska blogia ja kotisivuja halutaan vielä hioa ennen julkaisua.The aim of this thesis was to create an advertising campaign for Jok’ikinen’s Flower & Gift. Company is located in Halli and was founded, because of the desires of the residents of Halli. There was sufficient amount of demand for the company, because enough time had passed since the retirement of the previous florist. Furthermore the nearest florists are more than 20 kilometers away from Halli, in Mänttä and Jämsä. Company’s former marketing was inadequate and it wasn’t unified, so this advertising campaign is necessary for the company and the entrepreneur.
The theory part deals the theory about the advertising campaign and the facts related to making it as well as how these apply to Jok’ikinen’s Flower & Gift. Therefore it doesn’t engross the actual making, in other words the coding of the website, but to what constitutes a good website in company’s marketing. The report was written with the idea that it acts as a guide book for the entrepreneur about the company’s marketing.
Home pages, paper ads, blog and business card for the company were created in the practical part of the advertising campaign. The importance of the home pages for the company is great, as the company did not previously have home pages and nowadays almost all the companies are expected to have home pages. The tools in making the home pages and paper ads were the programs Dreamweaver and Photoshop from Adobe and the W3schools -web site. A variety of color and structure options were contemplated and tested during the process, the first of which was discarded almost immediately at the beginning but eventually ended up in the current solution. The products were shown to outside parties and the ads and home pages were tested whether they work in practice to potential customers. On the basis of the received comments certain aspects of the products were modified and due to the changes the products became clearer to interpret.
During the process a marketing plan, home pages, paper ads, blog and a business card as well as introduction to guerrilla marketing were created to the company. Publication of the blog and the home pages did not happen during the thesis but the release date is decided by the entrepreneur, as the blog and the home pages are to be further refined before the release
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.
