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
Prise en charge d’enfants atteints de dysplasie ectodermique. Intérêt des mini-implants : une revue systématique de la littérature
No full textProsthetic retention problems in children with ED are a major aspect in their dental care. The implant solution in children has always been a source of questions. From now on, the PNDS recommendations authorize us to place symphyseal ICs from 6 years of age in cases of severe oligodontia or anodontia. However, some clinical situations do not allow us to place ICs and the MDI hypothesis appears. The objective of our study is to examine the clinical success of MDIs and child satisfaction and to assess whether MDIs can be defined as an usual treatment. This is a systematic review of the literature using the PubMed database conducted for articles from 2013 to 2024. Clinical studies of growing children with ED treated with MDIs (diameter less than 3 mm) were included. After applying the inclusion criteria and full reading, only four articles were retained for this review given the rarity of the syndrome. The positive results of the four clinical cases studied encourage us to propose MDIs as an alternative to ICs. They reveal a clear improvement in the quality of life, chewing and aesthetics of children. Nevertheless, both larger-scale and longer-term data would be necessary to know if this solution can be the gold standard. It remains a challenge to explore in the future.Les problèmes de rétention prothétique chez les enfants atteints de DE est un aspect majeur dans leur prise en charge dentaire. La solution implantaire chez les enfants a toujours été source de questionnements. Dorénavant, les recommandations du PNDS nous autorisent la pose d‘IC symphysaires dès 6 ans en cas d’anodontie ou d’oligodontie sévère. Cependant, certaines situations cliniques ne nous permettent par la pose d’IC et l’hypothèse des MDI apparaît. L’objectif de notre étude est d’examiner le succès clinique des MDI et la satisfaction des enfants et d'évaluer si les MDI peuvent être considérés comme un traitement d’usage. Il s’agit d’une revue systématique de la littérature à l’aide de la base de données PubMed conduite pour des articles de 2013 à 2024. On a inclus des études cliniques d’enfants en pleine croissance, atteints de DE et soignés par des MDI (de diamètre inférieur à 3 mm). Après application des critères d’inclusion et lecture intégrale des articles, seuls quatre articles ont été conservés pour cette revue étant donné la rareté du syndrome. Les résultats positifs des quatre cas cliniques étudiés nous encouragent à proposer les MDI comme alternative des IC. Ils nous suggèrent une nette amélioration de la qualité de vie, de la mastication et de l’esthétique des enfants. Néanmoins, des données à plus grande échelle et plus long terme semblent nécessaires pour savoir si cette solution pourra être le gold standard. Cela reste encore un défi à explorer à l’avenir

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.
