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
Захист гідності людини в законодавстві Європейського союзу (конкретизація окремих прав)
Full text linkThe article is devoted to fundamental freedoms such as the right to respect for human dignity and the right to health protection in the legal framework of the European Union.Respect for the human being as the unique bio-psychosocial value, recognition and ensuring his/her rights and freedoms, dignity and honor, in particular by providing an access to minimal social benefits which can enable an adequate living standard as well as guaranteeing by a government of its country the protection against encroachments on above mentioned legal categories, these are the unswerving standards on which is based the legal ideology of the developed European countries. The effectiveness of a certain inherent human right is defined by real results which can be achieved by the implementation of legal rules. A government should carry out legal and organizational arrangements in order to accomplish desirable results.Obviously, the democratic legal framework should protect human’s right and freedoms, reproduce and implement the principles of the rule of law, ensure a «quality» of a law on the level of national law. All above mentioned should be done because a legal framework should implement legal provisions on the idea that a human is the highest social value.The quality of the European legal framework is in the protection of the values, common to whole mankind, cultural heritage, both at the level of primary and secondary legal rules as well as at the level of constitutional legislation.The major task of the legal framework is creation, implementation and realization of the clearly-defined and stable legal ground for the full range of social relationships and its dynamicsПредставленная статья посвящена рассмотрению основополагающих прав человека, в частности, уважение к его достоинству и охрана его здоровья, в правовой системе Европейского Союза.Уважение к человеку как уникальной биопсихосоциальной ценности, признание и обеспечение его прав и свобод, чести и достоинства, в частности, путем предоставления доступа к минимальным социальным благам, способных обеспечить ему достаточный и достойный уровень жизни, а также гарантирование со стороны государства защиты от посягательств на вишеобозначенные правовые категории, являются непоколебимыми стандартами, на которых основывается правовая идеология развитых европейских государств.Эффективность какого-либо неотъемлемого права человека определяется реальными результатами, которые могут быть достигнуты, исключительно вследствие реализации правовых норм. Для достижения необходимых результатов государство должно осуществлять мероприятия юридического и организационного направления.Разумеется, что демократическая правовая система должна действенно защищать права и свободы человека, воспроизводить и внедрять принципы верховенства права, обеспечивать «качество» правового закона на уровне национального законодательства, так как именно правовая система должна реализовывать положения о том, что человек является наивысшей социальной ценностью.Качество европейской правовой системы заключается в защите общечеловеческих ценностей, культурных и правокультурных достояний, как на уровне нормативно-правовых актов первичного и вторичного права, так и на уровне конституций и нормативно-правовых актов конституционного предназначения.Основное задание правовой системы – создавать, внедрять и реализовывать четко определенную, нормативную и стабильную основу для всего комплекса общественных отношений, в том числе и для их динамикиПредставлена стаття присвячена розгляду основних прав людини, зокрема- повага до її гідності та охорона її здоров’я, в правовій системі Європейського Союзу.Так, повага до людини як унікальної біопсихосоціальної цінності, визнання та забезпечення її прав і свобод, честі та гідності, зокрема шляхом надання доступу людині до мінімальних соціальних благ, здатних забезпечити їй достатній і гідний життєвий рівень, а також гарантування з боку держави захисту від посягань на вищевказані правові категорії є непорушними стандартами, на яких ґрунтується правова ідеологія розвинених європейських країн.Зокрема, ефективність будь-якого невід’ємного права людини визначають реальними результатами, які можуть бути досягнуті, виключно, внаслідок застосування норм. Для досягнення бажаних результатів держава повинна вживати заходів юридичного й організаційного спрямування.Зрозуміло, що демократична правова система повинна дієво захищати права і свободи людини, відтворювати і впроваджувати принцип верховенства права, забезпечувати «якість» правового закону на рівні національного законодавства, адже саме правова система повинна реалізувати положення про те, що людина є найвищою соціальною цінністю.Якість європейської правової системи полягає у захисті загальнолюдських цінностей, культурних та правокультурних надбань, як на рівні нормативно-правових актів первинного і вторинного права, так і на рівні Конституцій та нормативно-правових актів конституційного значення. Основне завдання правової системи – створювати, впроваджувати та реалізовувати чітко визначену, нормативну, стабільну основу для всього комплексу суспільних відносин, у тому числі і для їх динамік

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.
