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
Maria Nicolas : além do bê-a-bá : a trajetória profissional de uma normalista negra no Paraná (1906-1938)
Full text linkOrientador: Profa. Dra. Adriana VazDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Educação, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação. Defesa : Curitiba, 03/03/2022Inclui referências: p. 255-261Resumo: O presente trabalho objetiva investigar a trajetória escolar e profissional da normalista negra paranaense Maria Nicolas (1899-1988). Para tal se reflete acerca das estruturas e normas e de seu espaço de vivência. A partir da análise das ações encadeadas no decurso do período em que Nicolas foi estudante e de sua atuação inicial como professora normalista e escritora, buscou-se as seguintes reflexões: como as questões de raça, classe social e gênero influíram na atuação de Maria Nicolas durante a sua trajetória como professora normalista e em sua carreira inicial no campo literário paranaense? Quais aspectos da trajetória de Nicolas corroboraram para os seus posicionamentos no magistério público? O recorte temporal abrange o período de 1906 a 1938. A razão dessa delimitação de tempo se faz pelo período corresponder à fase do início da educação escolar de Nicolas, o início de seu percurso profissional e de sua produção literária, especialmente com a publicação de livros didáticos. Nesse sentido, visa-se à compreensão dos posicionamentos da professora normalista, o entendimento de sua singularidade, as estratégias e os mecanismos mobilizados por Nicolas para adentrar espaços tacitamente impedidos à população negra. Das fontes privilegiadas pela pesquisa destacam-se: diários, obras e documentos pessoais de Nicolas, relatórios dos secretários de governo, a legislação educacional em voga do período estudado, periódicos jornalísticos e fontes iconográficas. A dissertação está organizada em quatro capítulos. Os principais aportes teóricos deste estudo são: Lélia Gonzalez (2020), Angela Davis (2016), Audre Lorde (2019), Grada Kilomba (2019), Kabengele Munanga (2020), em relação dialógica com a teoria praxiológica de Pierre Bourdieu (2017). Como resultados, nota-se que a atuação de Maria Nicolas como professora normalista foi perpassada pelo caráter estrutural do racismo, como alude Silvio Almeida (2021), do sexismo e das questões de classe social, os quais interferiram de modo interseccional em sua trajetória. Assim como se observou que a sua inserção no campo literário ocorreu após uma série de investimentos no meio educacional, os quais não atingiram o efeito desejado pela presente normalista em estudo. Sendo que a ausência de tais efeitos, dentre outros aspectos, se relaciona-se à falta de capitais necessários nos termos de Bourdieu (2017), para a efetivação dos êxitos almejados por Nicolas. Igualmente, verificou-se que para superar as barreiras impostas, Nicolas desenvolveu diferentes modos de agir, encontrando no campo literário uma possibilidade de expressão de suas convicções.Abstract: The present work aims to investigate the educational and professional trajectory of the black trainee teacher from Paraná Maria Nicolas (1899 -1988). For this purpose, this work takes into consideration the structures and norms and her living environment. Based on the analysis of the actions linked to Nicolas’ time as a student and her initial performance as a trainee teacher and writer, the following reflections were sought: how did the issues related to race, social class and gender influenced the performance of Maria Nicolas during her trajectory as a trainee teacher and in her initial career in the literary field of Paraná? What aspects of Nicolas' trajectory corroborated her positioning in public teaching? The time frame comprises the period from 1906 to 1938. The reason for this time delimitation is that the period corresponds to the beginning of Nicolas' school education, the beginning of her professional career and her literary production, especially with the publication of didatic materials. In this sense, the goal is to understand the positioning of the trainee teacher, her singularity, the strategies and mechanisms mobilized by Nicolas to enter spaces tacitly forbidden to the black population. Among the sources favored for the research are highlight: the diaries, Nicolas’ personal works and documents, reports from government secretaries, the educational legislation in vogue in the studied period, periodicals and iconographic sources. The dissertation is organized into four chapters. The main theoretical contributions of this study are: Lélia Gonzalez (2020), Angela Davis (2016), Audre Lorde (2019), Grada Kilomba (2019), Kabengele Munanga (2020), in a dialogic relationship with the praxiological theory of Pierre Bourdieu (2017). As a result, it is possible to observe that the performance of Maria Nicolas as a trainee teacher was permeated by the structural character of racism, as Silvio Almeida alludes (2021), of sexism and social class issues, which interfered intersectionally in her trajectory. As well as it was observed that her insertion in the literary field occurred after a series of attempts into the educational environment, which did not achieve the desired effect by the trainee teacher under study. The absence of such effects, among other aspects, is related to lack of capitals necessary, according to Bourdieu (2017) for the achievement of the success desired by Nicolas. Likewise, it was verified that to overcome the imposed barriers Nicolas developed different ways of acting, finding in the literary field a possibility of expression of her convictions

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.
