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
Relatório de estágio supervisionado na área de tecnologia e inspeção de alimentos e relato de caso sobre a percepção dos manipuladores de alimentos quanto às boas práticas de fabricação em panificadora
No full textThe demand for safe foods is growing and has been generating ever greater demands in
relation to the hygienic-sanitary conditions in which these foods are produced. The current
legislation makes the use of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) mandatory for all food
industries and services, including bakeries, which present several problems related to the
hygienic-sanitary conditions of production sites and food handlers. The manipulator's lack of
knowledge or neglect of these good practices can result in food contamination. Thus, the
present study aimed to practice activities related to the inspection routine during the
preparation and handling of food, as well as to evaluate the knowledge of the bakers' handlers
about GMP and their conduct during food handling, since the adoption of these practices is
fundamental to guarantee the hygienic-sanitary quality of the food. During the internship
period, it was possible to monitor the routine activities of the technician responsible, the
production process of different products, among other activities. Data were collected by
applying a questionnaire after signing the Free and Informed Consent Form. The
questionnaire was divided into five parts, which included identification and professional
profile; GMP; personal, environmental and food handling hygiene. There were four
volunteers, three bakers and a baker assistant. All were men, with a prevalent age group
between 21-30 years and 50% had incomplete high school. All handlers had access to
knowledge about GMP through courses or training, with 75% considering GMP as very
important. However, they had difficulties in identifying the items that could contaminate
food. As for self-declared behavior in relation to personal hygiene and environmental
hygiene, they demonstrated to act in accordance with current legislation. The same did not
happen with hygiene during food handling. The internship allowed expanding and improving
theoretical and practical knowledge in the area oftechnology and food inspection. It is
essential that training on GMP be carried out properly and continuously, as well as it is
important to monitor the manipulators during their activities.A procura por alimentos seguros é crescente e vem gerando cobranças cada vez maiores em
relação às condições higiênico-sanitárias nas quais esses alimentos são produzidos. A
legislação vigente torna obrigatória a utilização das Boas Práticas de Fabricação (BPF) para
todas as indústrias e serviços de alimentação, dentre eles as panificadoras, que apresentam
diversos problemas ligados às condições higiênico-sanitárias dos locais de produção e dos
manipuladores de alimento. A falta de conhecimento ou negligência do manipulador acerca
dessas boas práticas pode resultar em uma contaminação alimentar. Assim, o presente estudo
teve o intuito de praticar atividades relacionadas à rotina da inspeção durante a elaboração e
manipulação de alimentos, bem como avaliar o conhecimento dos manipuladores de uma
panificadora sobre as BPF e a conduta dos mesmos durante a manipulação dos alimentos,
visto que a adoção dessas práticas é fundamental para garantir a qualidade higiênico-sanitária
dos alimentos. Durante o período de estágio foi possível acompanhar as atividades de rotina
do responsável técnico, o processo de produção de diferentes produtos, dentre outras
atividades. Os dados foram coletados mediante a aplicação de questionário após assinatura do
Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. O questionário foi dividido em cinco partes,
que contemplavam identificação e perfil profissional; BPF; higiene pessoal, ambiental e
durante a manipulação dos alimentos. Foram quatro voluntários, sendo três padeiros e um
auxiliar de padeiro. Todos eram homens, com faixa etária prevalente entre 21-30 anos e 50%
tinham o 2º grau incompleto. Todos os manipuladores tiveram acesso ao conhecimento sobre
BPF por meio de cursos ou treinamentos, sendo que 75% consideram as BPF como muito
importantes. No entanto, apresentaram dificuldades para identificar os itens que poderiam
contaminar os alimentos. Quanto ao comportamento autodeclarado em relação à higiene
pessoal e a higiene ambiental, demonstraram agir em conformidade com a legislação vigente.
O mesmo não aconteceu com a higiene durante a manipulação dos alimentos. A realização do
estágio permitiu ampliar e aprimorar o conhecimento teórico e prático na área de tecnologia e
inspeção de alimentos. É indispensável que as capacitações sobre as BPF sejam realizadas de
maneira adequada e de forma continua, bem como é importante monitorar os manipuladores

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.
