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
Programa de estimulación del lenguaje oral: la perspectiva docente en el aula de educación infantil
No full textEn la població infantil són molt freqüents les alteracions i trastorns articulatoris en la parla i una adequada intervenció primerenca pot evitar que moltes alteracions arribin a produir-se o, fins i tot, corregir certs trastorns de manera natural. És per això que els docents especialistes en Educació Infantil han de conèixer aquests aspectes i concedir-los l'interès que mereixen dins de la seva aula. Actualment, en els centres educatius de la Comunitat Valenciana s'està duent a terme un Pla d'Estimulació de l'Llenguatge Oral (PELO) amb la intenció que els tutors d'aquesta etapa apliquin a la seva aula pràctiques d'estimulació lingüística. Per això, hem pretès esbrinar quines pràctiques d'estimulació de l'llenguatge apliquen els docents d'Educació Infantil comparant-les amb aquelles que fan servir els especialistes d'Audició i Llenguatge. Per descobrir-ho s'han creat uns qüestionaris destinats als dos especialistes mitjançant els quals es pretenia obtenir informació sobre aspectes concrets sobre com treballen aquests professionals l'estimulació de l'llenguatge oral en l'etapa infantil. Els resultats han mostrat moltes similituds en la seva forma de treballar, però també multitud de diferències, el que posa de manifest que els tutors i tutores dels nivells de segon cicle d'educació infantil coneixen la importància que té el desenvolupament de la parla i el llenguatge en aquestes edats, però no són especialistes en Audició i Llenguatge i, per tant, no són coneixedors en la seva totalitat de les activitats que s'han de dur a terme a través del PELO.Alterations and articulation disorders of speech are very frequent in the child population and an appropriate early intervention can prevent many alterations or even correct certain disorders in a natural way. That is why specialized teachers in Early Childhood Education must know these aspects and give them the interest they deserve within their classroom. Currently, in the educational centers of the Valencian Community, an Oral Language Stimulation Plan (known as PELO) is being carried out pretending that the counselors of this stage apply linguistic stimulation practices in their classrooms. Therefore, we have tried to find out which language stimulation practices are applied by Early Childhood Education teachers by comparing them to those used by Hearing and Language specialists. In order to discover it, we have created some questionnaires addressed to both specialists through which we tried to obtain information about specific aspects of how these professionals work with oral language stimulation in the infant stage. The results have shown many similarities in their way of working, but also many differences, which shows that the counselors of second cycle of Early Childhood Education know the importance of speech and language development at these ages, but are not specialists in Hearing and Language and therefore are not fully aware of the activities to be carried out through the PELO.En la población infantil son muy frecuentes las alteraciones y trastornos articulatorios en el habla y una adecuada intervención temprana puede evitar que muchas alteraciones lleguen a producirse o, incluso, corregir ciertos trastornos de manera natural.

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.
