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

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.

Who misses a parking space? : Views of living environment, own car, vehicle pools and mobility services among holders of flats in housing associations
No full textFör att skapa en miljömässigt hållbar stad behöver människorna i den ha anledning och möjlighet att anpassa sina vardagliga vanor så att dessa i sig blir en del av den hållbara utvecklingen. I denna rapport behandlas intresset och mottagligheten för att ändra vanor som berör bilinnehav, utemiljö och parkering vid bostaden samt utnyttjandet av fordonspooler, närservice, hemleveranser och kollektivtrafik. Studien ingår i projektet Innovativ Parkering i Klimatsmarta Städer, vilket kretsar kring ett boende-, mobilitets- och parkeringskoncept som innebär delvis nya lokala möjligheter och begränsningar. Konceptet är tänkt att tillämpas för nya bostadsrätter i Stockholms så kallade närförorter (ca 5-15 km från city). Vi har undersökt acceptansen för att flytta till och bo i sådana bostadsrätter hos representanter för målgruppen. Bland representanter för gruppen kollektivresenärer och cyklister inom målgruppen visade sig inte oväntat intresset vara stort för att flytta till ett boende där det erbjuds olika typer av mobilitetslösningar i utbyte mot p-tal (antalet byggda parkeringsplatser per ny lägenhet) på låg nivå. Cirka hälften av hushållen i Stockholms Stad bedömer vi hör till den gruppen idag. För intervjuade vanebilister visade det sig dock att osäker tillgång till parkeringsplats nära bostaden kunde vara av avgörande betydelse i valet av ny bostad. För en mer ombytlig kategori av bilister (som även använder andra färdmedel till vardags) så bedömde vi intresset för att flytta till ett boende där det finns alternativa transportlösningar som högre än bland vanebilisterna, även om det skulle innebära begränsade möjligheter att få en egen parkeringsplats. Ombytliga bilister verkar med tryck och/eller stöd från omgivningen samt egen, eller närståendes, erfarenhet vara beredda att prova fordonspool och i vissa fall göra sig av med egen bil. Sammanfattningsvis har vi genom den här rapporterade studien kunnat bedöma att det finns en tillräcklig acceptans för konceptet. Representanterna för målgruppen efterfrågar, eller är åtminstone intresserade av, grön utemiljö, begränsad biltrafik kring bostaden samt nya och fler mobilitetstjänster.In an environmentally sustainable city urban dwellers should have reasons and opportunities to shape their daily habits so that these become part of the sustainable development. This report covers the willingness and receptivity to adopt and/or maintain habits related to car ownership, parking, the use of vehicle pools and mobility services. The study is part of the project Innovative Parking in Climate Friendly Cities, which focuses on a specific concept of housing, mobility, parking, and the outdoor green and traffic environment. The concept is designed for application in newly built condominiums in Stockholm’s so-called inner suburbs (about 5-15 km from the city). Through interviews and focus groups we investigated the interest in moving to and living in such condominiums among representatives of the target group, i.e. people who are looking to buy a flat. Not unexpectedly, representatives who mainly relied on public transport, cycling and walking showed significant interest in moving to apartments which, in exchange for a relatively low number of parking spaces per new built apartment, offered different types of mobility solutions, such as vehicle pools and home deliveries. We consider approximately half of the households in the City of Stockholm belong to this group of non-motorists today. However, uncertain access to parking near the residence was found to be deterrent for motorists. For a more versatile category of motorists (who were also using other means of transport on a daily or weekly basis) interest in moving to accommodation in line with the above concept was higher than among habitual motorists. These mixers of modes seemed susceptible to pressure and/or support from the surrounding community. We also judge that their own experience of mobility services such as membership in a car pool, or even experience among relatives or friends, would increase their propensity to try out a vehicle pool themselves. In some cases we found that the mixers would also be prepared to do away with an own car. In summary, this study has led us to conclude that there is sufficient acceptance for the concept of Innovative Parking to be tried out in real conditions, through the building of blocks of flats with mobility services in exchange for sparse parking. The representatives of the target group showed demand for, or at least interest in, a green outdoor environment, restricted traffic around the home and a broader spectrum of mobility services.QC 20140910Innovativ parkering i klimatsmarta städe
