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
Alimentation de rue, mutations urbaines et différenciations sociales à Bamako (Mali)
No full textIn 1995 in Bamako (Mali), a two-stage research project was carried out in order to study street food consumption practices and motivations to eat street foods among individuals from households in three socio-economic levels (rich, intermediary, poor). Almost ail individuals, regardless age and sex, consumed street food on a daily basis. Variety of foods and dishes was greater among individuals from rich households than among those from poor or intermediary ones. Among the poor, purchases were mainly fruits and fried foods. Daily expenditures on street foods per individual were respectively twice and three times greater in intermediary and rich households than in poor ones: 36.5 FCFA, 65.7, 92.9 FCFA. Many motivations are expressed to explain the street food purchases: constraints linked to job activity, gustative satisfaction, individual food supplementation linked to home food insufficiency in a context of economic crisis.Résumé. Une recherche comportant une enquête en deux temps, réalisée en 1995 à Bamako, a permis d'étudier les pratiques et les raisons exprimées de recours à l'alimentation de rue chez des sujets appartenant à trois catégories de familles socio-économiquement différentes (riches, intermédiaires et pauvres). Hormis les adultes riches, pratiquement tous les individus, quels que soient leur sexe et leur âge, consomment quotidiennement des aliments de rue. La diversité des plats et aliments consommés est plus grande chez les sujets des familles riches que chez ceux des familles intermédiaires et pauvres. Chez les pauvres, les achats sont concentrés sur un fruit ou une friture. Les dépenses en aliments de rue par personne et par jour sont, par rapport aux familles pauvres, deux fois plus élevées dans les familles intermédiaires et trois fois plus dans les familles aisées : 36,5 FCFA contre 65,7 et 92,9 FCFA. De multiples motivations sont exprimées pour expliquer le recours à l'alimentation de rue : contraintes liées à l'activité professionnelle, plaisir gustatif, complément alimentaire individualisé, lié à l'insuffisance de l'alimentation à domicile dans le contexte de crise économique.Un estudio con dos visitas se llevo a cabo en 1995 en Bamako (Mali) para investigar las prácticas y motivaciones para corner alimentos de la calle en individuos perteneciendo a hogares de très diferentes tipos socioeconámicos (ricos, intermediarios, pobres). Excepto los adultos ricos, casi todos los individuos consumen comida callejera a diario, cualquer sea su edad y sexo (mayor de 2 años). La diversidad de platos y alimentos consumidos por individuos de hogares ricos es mayor que por los de hogares intermediarios y pobres. Las compras de los pobres estan principalmente dedicadas a frutas y fritadas. El gasto en alimentos de la calle por día y persona es, comparado cón hogares pobres, 2 veces mayor en hogares intermediarios y 3 veces mayor en hgogares acomodados : 36,5 FCFA trente a 65,7 y 92,9 FCFA. Una diversidad de motivaciones se expresan, para explicar porque se recurre a la alimentación de la calle : dificultades prácticas ligadas a la actividad laboral, placer gustativo, aporte adicional individualizado en relación de la calle : dificultades prácticas ligadas a la actividad laboral, placer gustativo, aporte adicional individualizado en ralación cón la insuficiencia de la comida familiar en contexto de crisis económica.Ag Bendech Mohamed, Chauliac Michel, Malvy Denis.

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.
