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
Luticola minutissima M. Rybak, Peszek, Skoczylas & Ludwig 2022, sp. nov.
No full textLuticola minutissima M. Rybak, Peszek, Skoczylas & Ludwig, sp. nov. (Figs 1–46) Type:— BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro: city of Rio de Janeiro, Alto da Boa Vista, 22°57’09’’S, 43°13’40’’W, Ł. Skoczylas, 29 March 2015 (holotype UPCB! slide UPCB96.149, Herbarium of the Departamento de Botânica da Universidade Federal do Paraná, Brazil, depicted in Fig. 19). Isotypes: slide 26943 at the Szczecin Diatom Collection hosted by the University of Szczecin (SZCZ); slide 2015/1/1 and cleaned material stored in the Diatom Collection of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Land Management and Environmental Protection at the University of Rzeszów. Description:— Valves elliptic-lanceolate to rhombic-lanceolate with narrowly rounded apices (Figs 1–37). Range of valve dimensions (n = 60): 5.2–16.8 μm long and 3.7–5.4 μm wide. Axial area linear, central area bow-tie shaped, bounded by 2–4 areolae. Elongated stigma present in the central area, located close to face valve margin (Figs 38, 40, 42). Internally, stigma with indistinct opening bordered with large, circular, and lipped structure (Fig. 43, 45, 46). Marginal channel evident in SEM (Fig. 46), not visible in LM. Raphe branches almost straight to slightly curved (Figs 1–37, 39–41). External proximal endings double curved, first deflected away from the stigma, next abruptly hooked at a 90-degree angle to the stigma side (Fig. 29–42). Distal raphe endings hooked towards the stigma side, continuing onto the valve mantle (Fig. 39–42). Striae radiate, 22–28 at 10 μm, composed of 3–4 rounded areolae. Internally, poroids on valve face occluded by hymens, forming a continuous strip on each stria (Fig. 44, 46). Valve mantle has a single row of round areolae (Fig. 30, 37). Etymology:— The species name minutissima (lat. –tiny, smallest) refers to the small size of the new species’ frustule. Similar species:— Luticola deniseae Wetzel, Van de Vijver & Ector (2010: 178), L. imbricata (W.Bock) Levkov, Metzeltin & Pavlov (2013: 134), L. minima Levkov, Metzeltin & Pavlov (2013: 157), L. neglecta Zidarova, Levkov & Van de Vijver and L. tujii Levkov, Metzeltin & Pavlov (2013: 243), (Table 2). Distribution and ecology:— The species was observed in terrestrial habitats (mosses and lichens overgrowing different substrates, i.e. a concrete wall and palm tree trunks), both in urban and forest areas. The species developed very rarely, in the form of individual valves in the samples. Together with Luticola minutissima sp. nov., the most frequent species in sample 2015/1 were Humidophila sp. (90.3%) and Achnanthes pseudoinflata M.Rybak, Peszek, Skoczylas, Ector & C.E.Wetzel (2020: 3) (7.4%), while in sample 2015/3 the most frequent were: Humidophila contenta (Grunow) Lowe, Kociolek, J.R.Johansen, Van de Vijver, Lange-Bertalot & Kopalová (2014: 357) (74.8%) and Luticola moreirae Straube, Tremarin & T.Ludwig (2017: 428) (17.9%). In sample 2015/2 no dominant species were designated, due to an extremely low number of valves (15–30 per slide). Additional observation of Luticola neglecta Zidarova, Levkov & Van de Vijver is presented (Figs 47–67). The observed valves (n = 30) correspond to the description in Zidarova et al. (2014, 2016) in most morphological features. Notwithstanding, some additional observations were made. The external shape of stigma in the mentioned papers is small and rounded, but from our observations, it also seems to be slightly elongated (Figs. 61, 63, 64). The internal valve view ultrastructure has not been described until now. The areolae of the valve face are occluded by hymenes, forming a continuous strip on each stria. A marginal channel is visible internally under SEM, and is occluded by hymen. Internal stigma opening is small and C-shaped.Published as part of Rybak, Mateusz, Peszek, Łukasz, Skoczylas, Łukasz & Ludwig, Thelma Alvim Veiga, 2022, A new small-celled diatom from Brazil - Luticola minutissima sp. nov., with comparison to the type of the Antarctic L. neglecta Zidarova, Levkov & Van de Vijver, pp. 287-294 in Phytotaxa 530 (3) on pages 288-291, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.530.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/583601
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.
