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

No full textUue ärihoone korrashoiu teenuse algatamine hoone valmimise etapis nõuab põhjaliku planeerimist. Varakult rakendatud korrashoiumeetmed tagavad hoone pikaajalise jätkusuutlikkuse, vähendavad tulevikus remondikulusid ning loovad meeldiva ja ohutu keskkonna nii töötajatele kui ka külastajatele.
Antud lõputöös autor kirjeldas terve korrashoiu teenuse algatamise protsesse halduri poolt. Lõputöös on toodud need punktid ja ülesanded, mis sõltuvad just halduri tööst ja tema professionaalsusest. Autor kirjeldab korrashoiu teenuse algatamist ning käsitleb kõiki sellega seotud punkte nagu kontakti loomine, lepingu vormistamine, pakkumise koostamine, kasutusluba, hooldusraamat, garantiiperiood ja energiamärgised.
Uurides hooldusstrateegiat ja kogu teenuse algatamise protsessi hoonele, mis pole veel valmis ehitatud, tõstis autor esile probleemi, mis tekib halduri töös.
Haldur võib igapäevatöös kokku puutuda erinevate probleemidega tehingute eri etappides. Üheks selliseks probleemiks on lepingu ja hinnapakkumise koostamine. Haldur peab arvestama tellija kõigi soovidega, järgides samas seadusi, standardeid ja kinnisvarafirma reegleid. Samuti on tõsiseks probleemiks garantii periood, millal hooldajad võivad süsteemide rikked varjata, et neid avastada pärast garantii lõppu, mis tähendab lisakulusid remondiks. Autor soovitab hoolikalt jälgida hooldajate tööd, et kõik oleks õigeaegne ja kvaliteetne. Üheks probleemiks on ka kasutusloa saamine, selleks kulub palju aega ja dokumentide kogumist. Kui mõni dokument puudub või hoones esineb probleeme, võib kasutusluba jääda väljastamata. Siin sõltub palju halduri kvaliteetsest tööst. Korrashoiukava ja hooldusraamatu koostamine nõuavad haldurilt suurt professionaalsust, kuna siin on vajalik kogemus ja kõikide tööde selge läbimõtlemine, et tagada süsteemide pikaajaline teenindamine. Haldur peaks oma töös toetuma kinnisvara standarditele ja seadustele, mis aitab tal vältida paljusid probleeme.
Ärihoone jaoks oli autori koostatud korrashoiu kava mis hõlmab selliseid osasid nagu haldamine, tehnohooldus, heakorratööd, tarbimisteenused, tugiteenused ja ärihoone kulude liigitust. Korrashoiukava koostamise käigus autor kasutas EVS 807:2016+A1:2020 standardi, mis aitas lihtsamini ja paremini määrata tegevuste rühmad.
Tehnosüsteemide hooldus hõlmab tegevusi, mis aitavad halduril jälgida tehnosüsteemide kvaliteeti ja nende õiget ning turvalist toimimist. Korrashoiu kava koostamise käigus autor sai aru, kui oluline on õigeaegne sekkumine ning kui oluline algusest teada millised tehnosüsteemid nõuavad hooldust iga kuu, millised kord aastas jne. Hoolduskava aitab nii hooldajatel kui ka halduril jälgida tehnosüsteemide töötamist ning probleemide ja häirete teket ning neid õigeaegselt lahendada.
Heakorratööd on olulised, sest just need tagavad keskkonna puhtuse, korra ning turvalisuse, edendades elukvaliteeti ja luues meeldiva elukeskkonna.
Töö kirjutamise käigus suutis autor endale selgeks teha, et mitte ainult hoone tehnosüsteeme ei soodusta selle elu ja kvaliteeti, vaid ka selle ümbrus. On äärmiselt oluline omada muru niitmise, puude pügamise ja spordi- ning mänguväljakute hooldamise plaani. Kõik see koos annab uskumatu tulemuse, mis rõõmustab mitte ainult kliente ja töötajaid, vaid ka haldurit enda.
Kaasaegses maailmas on tugiteenused väga olulised, kuna need tagavad sujuva ja efektiivse toimimise, aidates organisatsioonidel või ettevõtetel lahendada probleeme, pakkuda tuge ning optimeerida oma tegevust. Need teenused aitavad säilitada kvaliteeti ja klientide rahulolu. Antud hoones on sellised tugiteenused nagu parkimine, valveteenus, bürooteenused ja toitlustamine. Kõik need tugiteenused ärihoone lahutamatu osa.
Tarbimisteenused sisaldavad kõiki teenuseid, mis inimesed kasutavad igapäevaselt ning tarbimisteenuste kulu ei saa prognoosida, kuna see sõltud kasutusest ja vajadusest. Tarbimisteenuste osad on elektrienergia, soojusenergia, vesi ja kanalisatsioon ja kommunikatsioon.
Uue ärihoone uurimise käigus, mis on veel ehitusprotsessis, saab autor kindlalt öelda, et halduri töö on lahutamatu osa korrashoiuteenuse algatamisest uue ärihoone valmimise etapis. Kuigi halduri töös võivad esineda probleemid, mis võivad mõjutada kvaliteetset tööd, sõltub see kahtlemata haldurist endast ja tema lähenemisviisist. Just haldur peab moodustama usaldusväärse meeskonna, koostama korrashoiukava, mis tulevikus oleks kasulik ja pikendaks hoone elu. Selle protsessi käigus peab kinnisvarahaldur olema täielikult kaasatud, et tagada tõhusus.Initiating maintenance services for a new business building during the completion stage requires thorough planning. Early implementation of maintenance measures ensures long-term sustainability of the building, reduces future repair costs, and creates pleasant and safe environment for both employees and visitors. In the provided thesis, the author described the entire process of initiating maintenance services from the perspective of a facility manager. The thesis outlines the points and tasks dependent on manager's role and professionalism.
The author describes the initiation of maintenance services and addresses all related aspects such as establishing contacts, formalizing contracts, preparing proposals, obtaining permits, maintaining records, warranty periods, and energy labels. Examining the maintenance strategy and the entire initiation process for an unfinished building, the author highlighted a problem in manager's work.
In the daily work, a manager may encounter various challenges at different stages of transactions. One such issue is the drafting of contracts and price quotations. The manager must consider all client preferences while adhering to laws, standards, and real estate company regulations. Additionally, a serious issue is the warranty period during which maintainers may conceal system malfunctions to discover them after the warranty expires, incurring additional costs for repairs. The author recommends carefully monitoring the work of maintainers to ensure timeliness and quality. Obtaining a usage permit is also a challenge, requiring a significant amount of time and document collection. If any documents are missing or there are issues in the building, the usage permit may be withheld. This depends greatly on the manager's quality work. Creating a maintenance plan and service book requires a high level of professionalism from the manager, as it demands experience and careful consideration of all tasks to ensure the long-term performance of the systems.
For a business building, the author created a maintenance plan covering areas such as management, technical maintenance, landscaping, utility services, support services, and classification of business building expenses. During the development of the maintenance plan, the author used the EVS 807:2016+A1:2020 standard, which aided in defining activity groups more easily and effectively.
Maintenance of technical systems involves activities that help the manager monitor quality and proper secure functioning of technical systems. During the development of the maintenance plan, the author realized the importance of timely intervention and understanding which technical systems require monthly, annual, or other regular maintenance from the start. The maintenance plan assists both caretakers and the manager in monitoring the operation of technical systems, identifying problems and disturbances, as well as addressing them in a timely manner.
Landscaping activities are crucial as they ensure cleanliness, order and safety, promoting a high quality of life and creating a pleasant living environment.
During the writing process, the author learned that not only do the technical systems of a building contribute to its life and quality, but also its surroundings. It is extremely important to have a plan for lawn mowing, tree pruning, and maintenance of sports and playgrounds. All these combined yields incredible results that bring joy not only to clients and employees but also to the manager.
In the modern world, support services are crucial, ensuring smooth and efficient operation, helping organizations or companies solve problems, provide support, and optimize their processes. These services contribute to maintaining quality and customer satisfaction. In this building, there are support services such as parking, security, office services, and catering.
All these support services are an integral part of the business building. Consumption services encompass all the services people use daily, and the cost of consumption services cannot be predicted as it depends on usage and need. Components of consumption services include electricity, heating, water, sewage, and communication.
During the investigation of a new business building, still in construction phase, the author confidently asserts that the work of a facility manager is an integral part of initiating maintenance services during the completion stage of a new business building. While there may be challenges in the manager's work that could impact the quality of work, it undoubtedly depends on the manager and their approach. Specifically, the manager must form a trustworthy team, develop a maintenance plan that will be beneficial in the future and extend the life of the building. Throughout this process, the property manager must be fully engaged to ensure efficiency
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

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.
