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
РОЗВИТОК «РОЗУМНИХ ГРОМАД»: МАКРОЕКОНОМІЧНІ АСПЕКТИ ВПРОВАДЖЕННЯ SMART CITY РІШЕНЬ НА МІСЦЕВОМУ РІВНІ
Get PDFToday, ministries, representatives of municipal authorities, non-governmental organizations and independent experts are working on the implementation of the concept of smart cities. However, there is currently no single agreed system that would determine clear directions, pace and tools for development. The article examines the development of the concept of "smart communities" through the implementation of Smart City solutions at the local level. The main directions of digital transformation of territorial community management are analyzed, including the implementation of electronic services, automated monitoring systems, smart transport and environmental initiatives. The key challenges and prospects for the application of smart technologies in the administrative territorial communities of Ukraine are identified, as well as the role of local authorities, business and the public in this process. Special attention is paid to the need to create a comprehensive strategy for the development of smart communities, which will contribute to the efficient use of resources, improving the quality of life of residents and attracting investment. It is substantiated that digital platforms have become the basis for effective interaction between local governments, citizens and business. The experience and prospects of using digital platforms, sensor systems and automated management in communities are studied. Attention is focused on the fact that automation of community management allows to significantly increase the efficiency of administrative processes, reduce the influence of the human factor and minimize bureaucracy. Successful examples of using sensor systems are given. It is proved that in modern conditions the implementation of the Smart concept is a strategically necessary step. Despite all the challenges, the war can become a post for the development of smart cities in Ukraine. This makes it possible not only to restore destroyed settlements, but also to rethink their development, using advanced technologies and best world practices. In the future, the implementation of this concept will contribute to increasing the country\u27s innovativeness and competitiveness, making it more attractive both for citizens and for the international community. In addition, the active implementation of Smart solutions stimulates investment attraction, which will cause economic growth and modernization of Ukraine.Сьогодні над впровадженням концепції розумних міст працюють міністерства, представники муніципальної влади, неурядові організації та незалежні експерти. Проте наразі відсутня єдина узгоджена система, яка б визначала чіткі напрямки, темпи та інструменти розвитку. У статті досліджено розвиток концепції «розумних громад» через впровадження Smart City-рішень на місцевому рівні. Проаналізовано основні напрями цифрової трансформації управління територіальними громадами, включаючи впровадження електронних сервісів, автоматизованих систем моніторингу, розумного транспорту та екологічних ініціатив. Визначено ключові виклики та перспективи застосування смарт-технологій в управлінських територіальних громадах України, а також роль місцевих органів влади, бізнесу та громадськості в цьому процесі. Окрему увагу приділено необхідності створення комплексної стратегії розвитку розумних громад, яка сприятиме ефективному використанню ресурсів, підвищенню якості життя мешканців та залученню інвестицій. Обґрунтовано, що цифрові платформи стали основою для ефективної взаємодії між органами місцевого самоврядування, громадянами та бізнесом. Досліджено досвід та перспективи використання цифрових платформ, сенсорних систем та автоматизованого управління в громадах. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що автоматизація управління громадою дозволяє значно підвищити ефективність адміністративних процесів, зменшити вплив людського фактора та мінімізувати бюрократію. Наведено успішні приклади використання сенсорних систем. Доведено, що в сучасних умовах впровадження Smart-концепції є стратегічно необхідним кроком. Попри всі виклики, війна може стати поштовим для розвитку розумних міст в Україні. Це дає можливість не лише відновити зруйновані населені пункти, а й переосмислити їх розвиток, застосовуючи передові технології та кращі світові практики. У перспективі реалізації цієї концепції сприяти підвищенню інноваційності та конкурентоспроможності країни, зробити її більш привабливою як для громадян, так і для міжнародної спільноти. Крім того, активне впровадження Smart-рішення стимулює залучення інвестицій, що стане причиною економічного зростання та модернізації України
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.
