    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    近年來創新是各國政府積極倡導的目標,在這個知識經濟的社會中,創新更是決定企業競爭力的關鍵要素。隨著資訊科技的發展,不只讓資訊的流通更為迅速方便,相關設計工具如AutoCAD及程式語言的發展,每個人都能夠利用這些工具設計出切合需求的創新產品。如何讓這些分散不集中的創新能量,能夠分享予大多數的人受益並實現創意的市場價值,其中一個途徑便是經由創新交易平台的運作。研究以個案研究法,從產業中各種性質不一的創新交易平台裡,依其依其運作模式與服務項目分為四大類別,並從各類別挑選出具有代表性的公司,深入各個企業的經營活動,為整體產業描繪大致上的輪廓。研究分析方面,首先經由平台產業的分析工具,判斷出創新交易平台產業未來將成為非集中式,也就是多平台共存並偏向利基式發展的產業結構。接下來,分別對個案進行商業模式分析,檢視其企業經營元素,配合VRISA分析,為他們未來的發展、競爭態勢及獲利能力作客觀的分析,分為具有持久競爭優勢、暫時競爭優勢、及無競爭優勢。後,經由VRISA分析後之三種競爭態勢綜合商業模式的分析結果,分別為身處不同競爭態勢的創新交易平台給予相關的未來營運建議及可行策略,希冀未來國內外相關產業在面臨相關挑戰時,能夠提出有效的經營策略。Innovation is a goal of every govenment around the world to advocate in recent years. And innovation is also a crucial factor that will determine how competitive an enterprise will be in this knowledge economy. With information technology rapid developments, not only could it make information flow much faster and more convenient, but also make everyone can easily design things that perfectly fit his(or her) demand by tools like AutoCAD and program language. And it is one of the effective methods through operations of innovation trade platform to make scattered innovation energy contribute its benefits to societies.o deepen the research in this topic, the methodology adopted in this research is case research. In this study, you can find out innovation trade platform cases are categorized into four categories by their characteristics, and one or two cases from each as representatives. And in each case, we are going to look into its business activities and outline this industry.n the aspect of analysis, firstly, it is determined as a decentralized industry structure by Eisemann’s model. It means there are going to be several platforms in the market with their own niches respectively. And after the business models analysis, the results showed their competitiveness as sustained competive advantage, temporary competive advantage, and competive parity through VRISA analysis.inally, there are given some suggestions and strategy recommends for the innovation trade platforms in each competitive position determined by VRISA analysis. And hopefully someday when it comes to challenges, the enterprises could find out their effective strategies with this thesis as reference.誌謝 I要 IIBSTRACT III次 V目錄 VII目錄 VIII一章 緒論 1一節 研究背景 1二節 研究動機 4三節 研究目的 5四節 研究架構 5二章 相關理論與文獻探討 7一節 創新 7二節 民主式創新 11三節 開放式創新 14四節 商業模式 20五節 網路外部性 22三章 研究設計 25一節 個案研究法 25二節 研究對象 27三節 研究模式 32、 Eisenmann平台產業結構分析模式 32、 VRISA分析模式 34四章 個案介紹與分析 35一節 YET2.COM 36、 個案介紹 36、 商業模式剖析 37、 商業模式探討 38、 商業模式之VRISA分析 40二節 PHARMA-TRANSFER 41、 個案介紹 41、 商業模式剖析 42、 商業模式探討 43、 商業模式之VRISA分析 44三節 BIG IDEA GROUP 46、 個案介紹 46、 商業模式剖析 47、 商業模式探討 49、 商業模式之VRISA分析 51四節 BRITISH TECHNOLOGY GROUP 52、 個案介紹 52、 商業模式剖析 53、 商業模式探討 56、 商業模式之VRISA分析 58五節 IPEX 59、 個案介紹 59、 商業模式剖析 60、 商業模式探討 63、 商業模式之VRISA分析 65五章 結論與建議 67一節 分析結果 67、 產業結構分析結果彙總 67、 個案分析結果彙總 68二節 對創新交易平台的建議 71三節 給未來欲採行開放性創新模式企業之建議 76四節 研究貢獻 77五節 研究限制 78考文獻 80錄 9

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
