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

Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, ChinaОдной из важнейших целей подготовки переводческих кадров является обеспечение
экономических и научных обменов между странами. С начала XXI века значительно возросло количество российско-китайских экономических связей, поэтому вырос спрос на
переводческие кадры в научно-технической сфере. Однако нехватка переводческих кадров
и несовершенство системы их подготовки ограничивает развитие рынка переводов. Что
касается причин, с одной стороны, давние проблемы еще негативно влияют на развитие
обучения переводу, с другой – во многих вузах обращают слишком большое внимание на
теорию и игнорируют практику. В связи с растущим спросом следует совершенствовать
систему обучения переводу научно-технического текста. В то же время необходимо сосредоточиться на социальных потребностях и характеристиках перевода научно-технического
текста, увеличить долю практических курсов, развивать логическое мышление студентов,
повышать уровень их переводов научно-технического текста. Поэтому чтобы подготовить
настоящих квалифицированных специалистов, обучение переводу должно включать получение профессиональных знаний и способностей, связанных с научно-техническими
текстами, а также способность к автоматизированному переводу, формирование информационно-поисковой компетенции, способность к сотрудничеству и профессиональную
мораль. One of the most important goals of teaching translation skills is to ensure economic and
scientific exchanges between countries. Since the beginning of the 21st century, exchanges between
China and Russia are becoming more frequent, so the demand for translation personnel in
the scientific and technical sphere has grown. However, the lack of translation personnel and
the imperfection of their training system limits the development of the translation market.
On the one hand, long-standing problems still have a negative impact on the development of
translation training, on the other hand, in many universities college students and teachers pay too
much attention to theory and ignore the practice. In connection with the growing demand,
the system of the teaching translation should be improved. At the same time, it is necessary to focus
on the social needs and characteristics of the translation of scientific and technical texts,
to increase the proportion of practical courses, to develop the logical thinking of students, and to
raise the level of their translation skills of scientific and technical texts. Therefore, to prepare
qualified specialists, translation skills should include professional knowledge and abilities related
to scientific and technical texts, personal experience in Computer-Aided Translation, formation
of information retrieval competence, the ability to work in a team, and professional ethics.Работа выполнена при поддержке грантов программы реформы образования пров.

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.
