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
Pisos intertravados com a incorporação de resíduos minerais (D.O.I. 105216/reec.v9i1.28021)
No full textRESUMO: Na britagem de rochas destinadas à produção de agregados para a construção civil, gera-se uma grande quantidade de resíduo (areia artificial e pó de brita). A areia artificial já é utilizada como agregado miúdo em substituição à areia natural, de rio. O pó de brita, ao contrário, permanece estocado nos pátios das empresas produtoras de agregados e a sua disposição inadequada pode causar problemas ambientais e à saúde humana. Buscando uma destinação técnica e ambientalmente correta para esse resíduo, estudou-se nessa pesquisa o efeito da sua incorporação nas propriedades mecânicas e de durabilidade de pisos intertravados. Foram analisadas as resistências à compressão aos 07, 28 e 90 dias e as absorções aos 28 dias. Foram estudados seis traços: um traço de referência (sem adição de resíduo) e outros cinco traços com substituição de 10% dos agregados totais pelo resíduo. Avaliou-se também o efeito a adição de um aditivo plastificante nos traços referidos. Os resultados demonstraram que a incorporação do resíduo foi benéfica. Houve aumento de resistência verificado no traço 1:2 (cimento:agregados totais secos) com resíduo em relação ao traço 1:2 sem resíduo. Quanto a absorção, não houve uma diferença significativa entre estes traços. Quanto ao aditivo plastificante, o seu efeito provocou significativos decréscimos de valores tanto nas resistências quanto nas absorções, em relação aos traços sem aditivos. Pela perspectiva da preservação ambiental os resultados também foram promissores haja vista que em todos os traços substituíram-se 10% dos agregados totais (areia e brita) pelo resíduo gerado na britagem das rochas.
ABSTRACT: In crushing rocks for the production of aggregates for the construction industry, a large amount of residue (artificial sand and quarry dust) is generated. The artificial sand is already used as fine aggregate replacing the natural sand of the river. The quarry dust, instead, remains stored in the courtyards of the producers of aggregates and their improper disposal can cause environmental problems and to human health. Seeking a technically and environmentally correct disposal for this waste, in this research it is studied the effect of incorporation on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete paving blocks. It was analyzed the compressive strength at 07, 28 and 90 days and the absorptions at 28 days. Six mixtures were studied: one reference mixture 1:2 (cement: total dry aggregates) (without addition of quarry dust) and five with replacement of 10% of the total aggregate for the quarry dust. It was also evaluated the effect of the addition of a plasticizer additive in the features mentioned above. The results showed that the incorporation of quarry dust was beneficial. There was an increase of resistance found in mixture 1:2 with quarry dust compared to mixture 1:2 without quarry dust. As the absorption, there was no significant difference between these mixtures. As the plasticizer additive, its effect caused significant decreases in both resistance values and the absorptions as compared to mixtures not containing additives. From the perspective of environmental protection, results were also promising considering that in all mixtures was replaced 10% of the total aggregate (sand and coarse aggregate) for quarry dust generated by the crushing of rocks
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.
