    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    No full text
    We 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

    ABSTRACT De opkomst van generatieve Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) heeft een grote impact op de toeristische public relations (pr) industrie. Het verandert fundamenteel hoe informatie wordt gecreëerd, verspreid en geconsumeerd. In een sector waarin visuele content een essentiële rol speelt bij het beïnvloeden van consumentengedrag en het wekken van reisinspiratie, biedt GenAI kansen voor efficiënte communicatie en nieuwe mogelijkheden voor contentcreatie. Echter, roept het ook nieuwe vragen op over de authenticiteit, transparantie en betrouwbaarheid van de content. Binnen de context van toeristische pr, waar promotiecontent een directe invloed heeft op de boekintentie, staat het vertrouwen in GenAI-content door de consument centraal. Dit onderzoek richt zich op de vraag: ''Hoe wordt het vertrouwen in GenAI-content in de toeristische pr-industrie ervaren door de consument?'' Om deze vraag te beantwoorden zijn twee deelvragen opgesteld: (1) ''Welke consumentenkenmerken hebben invloed op het vertrouwen in GenAI-content binnen de toeristische pr-industrie?'' en (2) ''In hoeverre beïnvloedt blootstelling aan GenAI-content (vs. authentieke content) het vertrouwen en uiteindelijk de boekintentie van consumenten?'' Voor het beantwoorden van deze vragen is een kwantitatief embedded survey-experiment uitgevoerd onder 179 respondenten. Binnen het between-subject design zijn de respondenten willekeurig blootgesteld aan een van drie condities: (1) GenAI-content, (2) GenAI-gelabelde content en (3) authentieke content. Aan de hand van een vragenlijst, opgesteld met Qualtrics, zijn variabelen als vertrouwen, misleiding en boekintentie gemeten. Daarnaast zijn consumentenkenmerken als generatie, houding tegenover GenAI, kennis over GenAI en ervaren gebruiksgemak van GenAI meegenomen. De resultaten lieten zien dat consumenten authentieke content significant meer vertrouwen dan GenAI-content. Dit effect was groot, wat benadrukt dat visuele geloofwaardigheid een cruciale rol speelt in het vertrouwen in GenAI-content bij consumenten. De transparantie via een GenAI-label bleek echter niet effectief in het verhogen van vertrouwen of de boekintentie en leidde ook niet tot een lager gevoel van misleiding. Het type content (GenAI vs. authentiek) bevestigde, via een seriële mediatie-analyse, wel dat misleiding en vertrouwen de relatie tussen contenttype en boekintentie mediëren. Opvallend is dat geen van de consumentenkenmerken een significante invloed had op vertrouwen in GenAI-content. Dit wijst op het beperkte verklarende vermogen van de theorie achter traditionele modellen binnen deze visuele context. De bevindingen benadrukken het belang van waargenomen authenticiteit in toeristische communicatie en suggereren dat vertrouwen vooral gevormd wordt door inhoudelijke percepties, niet door persoonlijke kenmerken. Voor de praktijk betekent dit dat organisaties niet alleen efficiënt transparant moeten zijn, maar ook vooral content moeten produceren die geloofwaardig en realistisch overkomt bij de consument, zeker in een tijdperk waarin technologieën als GenAI zich in sneltreinvaart ontwikkelen

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
