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

Multiple perspectives on self-regulation in alcohol use disorder: executive functioning, neuroimaging and psychophysiology
No full textEmpirical thesis.Bibliography: pages 213-260.Chapter One. General introduction -- Chapter Two. Executive functioning and dysregulated drinking history are associated with regulation of alcohol cue responses in non-treatment-seeking drinkers -- Chapter Three. Regulation of alcohol cue-elicited responses in alcoholic liver disease and alcohol dependent drinkers during a cue reactivity task -- Chapter Four. Impaired decision-making and reduced somatic responses indicating expectation of risky choices during the Iowa Gambling Task in severe alcohol use disorderD -- Chapter Five. Neural correlates of alcohol cue-induced brain activation and neuropsychological executive functioning measures in individuals with alcohol dependence -- Chapter Six. General discussion -- References -- Appendices.Reduced ability to regulate deleterious behaviours can lead to negative social, health, and financial outcomes. Individuals with alcohol use disorder that continue to drink despite adverse consequences from their drinking demonstrate dysregulated drinking behaviour, potentially due to difficulty in appropriate self-regulation. Identifying the factors that may be integral in appropriate regulation of responses to alcohol cues may help us better understand the underlying mechanisms involved in self-regulation in these dysregulated individuals. Elucidating the factors involved in the regulation of impulsive, motivational drives inherent in alcohol use disorder is important to inform and augment current frameworks, which do not yet adequately explain dysregulated behaviour within this complex and multifaceted disorder.Thus, the aim of thesis was to empirically examine the regulation of responses to alcohol cues and influencing factors in alcohol use disorder. A diverse methodology of neuropsychological, psychophysiological and neuroimaging techniques was applied to comprehensively evaluate regulation across various time periods surrounding cue presentation, to assess the influence of components, such as executive functioning, in appropriate regulation, and to identify overlapping evidence of underlying regulatory processes and influencing factors in a range of dysregulated alcohol use disorder samples.Four separate studies were conducted. The first applied an influential theoretical framework of executive functioning to demonstrate discrete executive functioning domains were uniquely associated with the regulation of alcohol cue-elicited responses as indicated by physiological indices in non-treatment-seeking drinkers. The second further investigated these associations using the same methodology in more severely dysregulated alcohol use disorder samples—individuals with alcoholic liver disease and alcohol dependence—and showed overall difficulties in regulation of responses in these samples that were not related to executive functioning ability. The third used the same dysregulated samples to examine whether reduced capacity for incorporating previous negative feedback leads to impaired decision-making processes regarding drinking, and found reduced physiological responses to risky choices with negative outcomes and decision-making deficits in these samples. The final study used functional neuroimaging techniques to find converging reduced neural activation in prefrontal regions related to regulation of alcohol cue responses, and worse executive functioning and dysregulated drinking measures in an alcohol dependent sample.Taken together, this thesis advances our understanding of the integral components that may underlie the progression and maintenance of alcohol use disorder. This body of work contributes to the literature involved in elucidating the role of self-regulation and influencing factors in alcohol use disorder, through a convergence of neurocircuitry and underlying neurocognitive mechanisms that is essential to advance our understanding of key processes of regulation in alcohol use disorder and better inform treatment approaches.Mode of access: World wide web1 online resource (ix, 276 pages) graphs, table
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.
