Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Standards War Dynamics:attle for Technological Dominance of Next Generation DVD
No full text在過去二十年技術變動快速的步伐下，在許多主流技術主導權的爭奪戰顯現出規格標準化對一個產業以及廠商長期競爭優勢的重要性。自1997 推出以來，DVD在數位影音市場獲得空前的勝利，很快的取代了VHS成為家用錄像和播放標準，同時也成為資訊產業中主要的存儲媒體。隨著普及率趨於飽和, 市場成熟, 毛利率因而逐步下降,加上高畫質娛樂媒體HDTV和數位時代來臨對於高容量的數據儲存需求， 使得高畫質媒體儲存光碟規格的標準成為廠商目光的焦點。為此以SONY為首所領導的BD (Blu-ray Disc) 與Toshiba為首的領軍的HD-DVD (High-Definition Digital Videodisc) 兩大陣營， 為了爭取次時代規格的主導權而展開了劇烈的競爭。研究主要探討在此兩項相似但是不相容的技術之爭下, 廠商策略, 產業結構, 及環境因素將會如何影響次時代儲存產業標準規格發展與技術普及。本研究的問題為: 1) 過去VHS家用錄像 和DVD產業標準規格的發展過程對如今高畫質儲存光碟規格的主流技術主導權爭奪戰有何影響和啟發? 2) 在此主流技術主導權爭奪戰中, 兩營主要策略是什麼? 3)在此主流技術主導權爭奪戰中, 主要決定因素有哪些? 4) 未來五年高畫質媒體儲存光碟產業將會有可能如何發展 ?研究採用定性研究的方式, 透過訪談以及產業次級資料, 歸納出整個產業的競爭動態, 並且利用標準化理論和主流設計理論,歸納出主流規格產生的過程及關鍵因素.最後運用情境分析法, 結合專家的意見探討影響未來光儲存產業規格發展的關鍵因素, 以及驅動此關鍵決策因素力量的不確定性與衝擊程度, 導出五種可能之情境結果, 進而發展最樂觀, 悲觀與最可能情境.透過本研究的分析發現, Blu-ray以較先進的儲存空間和防拷保護技術以及聯盟策略擊敗了HD DVD 在成本上和削價策略上的優勢, 獲得了較多硬體廠商,內容業者發行影片商, 與通路零售及影片出租商的支持,目前占領優勢而將在2009年成為次世代DVD 的市場主流.Throughout the rapid pace of technological change in the last two decades, many occurrences of battles for dominance between two or more rival technologies have highlighted the importance of standardization for industry success and firms’ long term competitive position. Following its 1997 debut, the DVD (digital versatile disc, or digital video disc) had conquered the home-video market previously ruled by VHS tapes, as well as became the major storage medium choice in computer industry. However, in the digital information age, the needs for massive storage capacity for large information data, and high definition entertainment usage are becoming inevitable trends. In response, two format, Blu-ray Disc technology lead by Sony, and HD DVD lead by Toshiba, emerged in the market competing to become the successor of standard DVD.his research focus on how firm strategy, industrial structure and environment factor are going to affect the standards war out come and industry development. The four major focuses are: 1) What are the lessons and implications of standardization process in the VCR and DVD industry to current format war? 2)What are the strategy maneuvers of each format as the standard war proceed? 3) What are the major determinant factors of dominant design of high definition DVD? 4) What are the best, worst and most possible scenarios and why?his study use qualitative research method, mainly based on the primary sources of interviews and questionnaires, secondary data, theoretical frameworks for standardization and dominance design are used to analyze the dominant factors and strategies practices throughout the dominance process. Lastly, based on the expert opinion on the importance and uncertainties of dominance factors, the study comes out with 4 scenarios. The paper concludes that at current status quo, Blu-ray disc’s advancement in technology, copyright management, and strategic alliance efforts give it more competitive position than HD DVD’s low cost and penetration pricing strategies, in attracting more industry supporters, including content providers, PC and consumer industry manufacturers and distribution channels to become the dominant design of next generation DVD in year 2009.論文摘要…..ibstract…..iicknowledgement….. iiiist of Tables…..viist of Figures…..viihapter 1: Introduction…..1.1 Research Background…..1.2 Research Motivation…..6.3 Research Objectives…..8.4 Research Method and Scope…..8.5 Research Limitations…..9hapter 2: Literature Review…..10.1 Network Industries…..10.2 Standardization…..15.3 Technology dominance…..19.4 Conceptual Framework…..27hapter 3: Dominant Design Process…..30.1 VCR Standards War…..30.2 DVD Industry…..33.3 The Lessons from the Past…..34.4 Phase I: R&D Build Up…..36.5 Phase IIA: Technical Feasibility…..37.6 Phase IIA: Alliances…..44.7 Phase IIIA-Creating the Market…..51.8 Phase III B-Accumulating Installed Base …..61.9 Reframed Dominance Process…..65hapter 4: Scenario Analysis and Expert Opinion…..68.1 Focus of Decision Area…..68.2 Key Decision Factors…..69.3: Identify and evaluating key driving forces…..70.4: Axes of Uncertainty…..73.5: Best and Worst Scenarios…..76.6 Recommendations…..78hapter 5: Conclusions…..81.1 Research Findings…..81.2 Reserch Implications….. 84.3 Short Coming of this Research Study…..85.4 Suggestion for Future Research…..86eferences…..87ppendix A: Member Lists of HD DVD Promotion Group and Blu-ray Disc Association …..93ppendix B: Blue Laser DVD Titles and Hardware…..97ppendix C: Survey Questionnaire…..110iography…..11

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.
