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
Adaptive fringe: encourage permeability between the urban outskirts and urban center
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALECon la continua accelerazione dell’urbanizzazione, lo sviluppo sostenibile è diventato cruciale per affrontare le sfide ambientali urbane. Al giorno d’oggi la continua crescita dei centri urbani sta minando gli equilibri che ci permettono di vivere su questo pianeta. Questa ricerca ha come punto di partenza il paese di Uboldo, in provincia di Varese, in Lombardia e usa metodi e strategie per sviluppare un potenziale inesplorato e promuovere uno stile di vita più sano. In questo contesto, l’importanza degli spazi verdi all’interno di aree urbanizzate è essenziale per arrivare al nostro scopo. Come risultato si otterrà un progetto nel suo insieme, il quale comprende tutte le scale, con un’implementazione sia a livello di tempo che di spazio.
Nella periferia di Uboldo in particolare vi è un problema di frammentazione, di fatti, l’attuale stato della frangia urbana si presenta fortemente separato, creando due mondi distanti sia fisicamente che metaforicamente, il mondo rurale ed il mondo urbano. Il paese, essendo prettamente di origine agricola, si presenta come l’occasione giusta al momento giusto per poter sperimentare un diverso approccio progettuale. Il valore aggiunto sarà dato dall’utilizzo nella strategia di un elemento come la Frangia Urbana, la quale è vista come strumento in grado di riportare un dialogo tra i due mondi. La creazione di interferenze faranno si che i due mondi si scontrino con il fine ultimo di creare un momento, nello specifico, un momento di complicità.
La diversificazione degli interventi insieme alla volontà di riportare alla luce i valori tangibili e intangibili porterà ad avere come risultato finale un insieme di paesaggi che non solo saranno preservati ma anche animati ed amplificati nel loro insieme.
Infine, la ricerca mira ad affrontare questa relazione profonda che esiste tra paesaggio naturale e centro città urbanizzato, offrendosi come punto di vista differente e lasciando indizi importanti per interventi che potrebbero essere fatti sul campo, contribuendo a rendere Uboldo una città dal quale diffondere idee e trasformandola in una città di riferimento sulla scena regionale e perchè no, in futuro, anche nazionale.With the continuous acceleration of urbanization, sustainable development has become crucial in addressing urban environmental challenges. The continuous growth of urban centers is undermining the balances that allow us to live on this planet. This research has as its starting point the town of Uboldo, in Varese Province, in Lombardy, use methods and strategies to develop an unexplored potential. In this context, the importance of green spaces within urbanized areas is essential to achieve our goal. As a result, the paper fits its goal on a city-wide scale and on its study as a whole.
In the periphery of Uboldo, the fragmentation is clearly visible. The actual state of the urban fringe creates a clear cut between these two worlds that do not meet, both physically and metaphorically, the rural and the urban world. As a medium size municipality within a mostly agrarian context, it is of great interest to experiment with a different approach in urban planning for the expansion of the city. The plus-value will be given by the use in the design strategy of an element such as the Urban Fringe, which is seen as a tool able to bring back a dialogue between these two worlds. The creation of interference will cause the two worlds to collide with the goal of creating a moment, or better, a bonding moment.
The diversification of the interventions altogether with the desire to bring back to light the tangible and intangible values will lead to the result of a set of landscapes that will not only be preserved but also animated and amplified as a whole. A set of strategies and interventions that, applied throughout time and space, will make Uboldo a town in which the quality of the urban environment and the quality of life of residents will be improved.
In the end, the research strives to address this deep relationship that exists between natural landscape and urbanized city center, offering itself as a different point of view and leaving important clues for interventions that could be done in the fields, contributing to make Uboldo a city from which to spread ideas and turn it into a reference city on the regional scene and why not, in the future, also national
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

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.
