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

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.

Myśliciele włoskiego Renesansu o potrzebie rewolucyjnego przewrotu w Italii
Full text linkLa période du pouvoir de Laurent le Magnifique de Medicis (1469 - 1492) fut considérée par des contemporains comme époque de la plus grande prospérité de cette ville et d\u27abondance des Etats italiens. Cependant l\u27opposition contre le pouvoir autocratique devenait de plus en plus intense aussi bien en Florence que dans l\u27Italie entière. La crise socio-politique progressait en se manifestant bientôt avec toute sa force.Jerôme Savonarole, moine italien, comme premier s\u27attaqua aux conditions en Florence, en Italie et dans l\u27Eglise romaine. Il a fait dans ses sermons la critique du système de gouvernement en Florence. Il contribua à l\u27institution du pouvoir républicain, démocratique; prit l\u27initiative de plusieurs réformes sociales et politiques; appelait à user de violence en cas de résistance des adversaires des réformes. Savonarole envisageait la convocation du concil général pour exécuter una réforme fondamentale de l\u27Eglise, renverser Alexandre VI et nommer un nouvel pape. Sa mort tragique, le 23 mai 1498, mit fin à la réalisation de ces intentions.Nicolas Machiavell (1469 - 1527) qui prêtait une oreille attentive aux sermons de Savonarole, tirant la conclusion de ses expériences, proclame la nécessité de posséder des forces indispensables contre la résistance des adversaires de la réalisation des réformes. Selon Machiavell la nécestité des profondes transformations sociales et politiques een Italie est évidente. Parmi les habitans de l\u27Italie la corruption est générale; institutions politiques n\u27ont plus l\u27habitude d\u27exercer leures fonctions.Dans la situation où la société est dépravée et les dominants ne sont pas capables d\u27exécuter des réformes indispensables, l\u27activité radicale, appuyée sur l\u27usage de violence, et pas sur la tradition ou sur le droit, est de rigueur. „Les moyens habituels — dit Machiavel — sont tout à fait insuffisants et même nuisibles; il faut recourir aux moyens extraordinaires, c\u27est-à-dire à la violence et à la force des armes, et il faut surtout s\u27emparer du pouvoir dans l\u27Etat et savoir gouverner à sa façon". (Considerations …, I,18).Avec la foi dans des forces et des possibilités d\u27individu, Machiavel est certain qu\u27un eminent homme d\u27Etat peut réformer l\u27Italie et préserver ce pays qui court à sa perte. Pour le bien de sa patrie et pour le bien public, il ne doit pas hésiter de s\u27emparer du pouvoir et en gouvernant appliquer des mesures exceptionnels.Ce fait va être évidement un renversement révolutionnaire, exécuté en usant la violence et en s\u27appuyant sur la force. Cet homme eminent va éloigner du pouvoir l\u27ancienne classe et va être favorable aux nouveaux groupes sociaux qui ne s\u27appuyent pas sur des privilèges de son état mais sur la puissance de l\u27argent. L\u27autorité politique et morale de la curie de Rome devrait être mis à profit dans les buts nationaux et patriotiques. La puissante armée nationale va être en garde des transformations introduites.En réalité les projets des réformes proclamées furent impossibles à realiser. La plupart des écrivains politiques de l\u27Italie et tout particulièrement Fr. Guicciardini (1483 - 1540), qui avait aussi le jugement défavorable sur la réalité sociale et politique de l\u27Italie, ne croyait pas aux transformations fondamentales dans lepays et critiquait la foi et l\u27espoir non fondés.Okres władzy we Florencji Wawrzyńca Wspaniałego Medyceusza. (1469 - 1492) uważany był przez współczesnych, i nie bez podstaw, za czas największego rozkwitu tego miasta i pomyślności państw włoskich. Pomyślność ta — podkreśla współczesny historyk i polityk Francesco Guicciardini — była w dużym stopniu zasługą Wawrzyńca Medyceusza — „obywatela znamienitego, lecz równego stanem z innymi mieszkańcami Florencji”, która rządziła się słuchając jego wskazań, co zapewniło jej szczególną pozycję wśród pozostałych państw, od których terytorialnie mniejsza przewyższała je „zdolnościami swych obywateli i obfitością pieniędzy". „Nie zmarł też nikt i nigdy nie tylko we Florencji, ale i w całej Italii — pisał Machiavelli o śmierci Wawrzyńca Wspaniałego — kto cieszyłby się sławą takiej mądrości, bądź po kim by tak ojczyzna bolała"
