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
Impacts of grape berry maturity and pressing fraction on the composition of musts and wines - Relation to the foaming properties of Champagne base wines
No full textLa mousse est une caractéristique organoleptique majeure des vins effervescents. Dans le cadre d’une meilleure maîtrise des propriétés moussantes des vins de Champagne, l’objectif de ce travail est de mieux comprendre l’impact de la maturité des raisins et du fractionnement des jus au pressurage sur la composition des moûts et des vins, en particulier sur les protéines, et la relation avec la moussabilité des vins.Au cours de la maturation de raisins sains Chardonnay et Pinot noir de deux millésimes, les caractéristiques œnologiques des moûts évoluent pour un TAP compris entre 4% et 11% vol. Une augmentation de la teneur en protéines est aussi montrée au cours de la maturation des baies. De plus, pour des raisins vendangés à « maturités industrielles », des changements essentiels de la composition biochimique des moûts, ayant un TAP compris entre 8% et 11% vol., sont observés.Une étude de la maturité de raisins Chardonnay et Pinot meunier de trois millésimes, a montré que des raisins plus mûrs, et sains, donnent des vins de base avec des teneurs en protéines totales plus élevées, ayant une meilleure moussabilité que des vins issus de raisins moins mûrs. Les analyses statistiques montrent des corrélations positives significatives entre différentes caractéristiques œnologiques des moûts et des vins de base et, pour la première fois, une corrélation entre la moussabilité et la teneur en protéines des vins, en relation avec la maturité, a été montrée. Au-delà de la maturité des raisins, la teneur en protéines et la moussabilité des vins peuvent être fortement influencées, dans la notion de Terroir, par le couple cépage/parcelle et le climat du millésime.L’étude du fractionnement des jus au pressurage, réalisée sur les cépages Chardonnay, Pinot noir, Pinot meunier et cinq millésimes, montre une évolution générale des caractéristiques des moûts et des vins, au cours du pressurage à l’échelle industrielle et au laboratoire. La composition des moûts et des vins peut être fortement influencée par la variabilité de la parcelle, de la maturité, du millésime, de l’état sanitaire des raisins, mais faiblement affectée par l’échelle et le type de pressoir. Ces sources de variabilités conduisent à des différences de teneur en protéines et de propriétés moussantes pour les vins de base champenois.Foam is a major sensory characteristic of sparkling wines. As part of better controlling the foaming properties of Champagne wines, the goal of this work is to better understand the impact of grape maturity and press fractioning on the composition of grape juices and base wines, especially on the proteins, and their relationships with wines’ foamability.During the maturation of healthy grapes (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of two vintages), the oenological characteristics of musts evolve in a TAP range from 4% to 11% vol. An increase in protein content was also showed during the ripening of grape berries. In addition, for the grapes harvested at ‘industrial maturity’, essential changes in the biochemical composition of musts were observed with a TAP between 8% and 11% vol.The study of grape maturity that performed on Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grapes of three vintages, showed that riper and healthy grapes could give their corresponding base wines with higher total protein contents, and better foamability than those wines made from less ripen grapes. Statistical analyses showed significant positive correlations between different oenological characteristics of musts and base wines and, for the first time, a correlation between foamability and protein content of wines, in relation to grape maturity, has been shown. Except for the grape maturity, the protein content and the foamability of Champagne base wines could be strongly influenced, in the concept of ‘Terroir’, by the pair grape variety/vineyard and the climate of the vintage.The study of the press fractioning of grape juices, carried out on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier of five vintages, showed a general evolution of the characteristics in musts and wines, during the pressing cycle that realized on industrial and laboratory scale. The composition of musts and their corresponding wines could be strongly influenced by the variability of vineyards, grape maturity, vintage and the health condition of grapes, but hardly affected by the scale and the type of press. Those sources of variability could lead to differences in protein content and foaming properties for Champagne base wines

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.
