Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Machinima: uma relação entre hipermídia e cinema a partir da tipologia dos planos de câmera
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Design e Expressão Gráfica, Florianópolis, 2014.A partir do surgimento das recentes comunidades virtuais 3D on-line, identifica-se nas mídias digitais uma nova forma de produção conhecida por Machinima, termo este caracterizado em meados da década de 90 e que configura-se como uma "produção cinematográfica em um ambiente virtual em tempo real e 3D." (LOWOOD, 2011) Essas produções se apropriam de imagens sintéticas em 3D on-line em tempo real para criação de histórias. A estrutura de navegação da hipermídia está presente na base de criação de um Machinima. Tal qualidade tem promovido reflexões acerca desse novo modo de produção e suas relações com o universo das mídias e do cinema. Nesse contexto de aparentes aproximações ou estreitamentos do design de hipermídias com o cinema tendo em vista o emprego da imagem recortada nessas produções contemporâneas, a presente pesquisa visa responder: em que medida, numa produção Machinima, identifica-se apropriações da tipologia de planos de câmera do cinema? Para responder a esta questão o objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar, as especificidades de uma produção Machinima, tendo em vista os possíveis modos de apropriação da tipologia dos planos de câmera do cinema. Para tanto, no presente estudo, caracterizado como exploratório e qualitativo, foram revisados temas como: hipermídia, Machinima e cinema. Posteriormente, foi selecionado como exemplo para análise, o curta Machinima ?As Aventuras de Paulo Bruscky?, produzido em plataforma hipermidiática 3D on-line. A partir da sistematização dos dados da análise desta produção, na discussão interpretativa, foi possível apontar a presença significativa de imagens com heranças da tipologia dos planos de câmera de cinema. Identificou-se, ainda, outras soluções aqui consideradas "imagem-dentro-de-imagem" que se dividem em novas janelas e apresentam como características a interface gráfica do ambiente on-line em que foram produzidas.Abstract : From the recent emergence of 3D virtual on-line communities, identifies in digital media a new form of production known for Machinima, characterized this term in the mid-90s and is about a "film production in a virtual environment in real time and 3D". (LOWOOD, 2011). These productions take possession of synthetic 3D images on-line in real time to create stories. The navigational structure of hypermedia is present at the base to create a Machinima. This quality has promoted reflections about this new mode of production and its relations with the world of media and cinema. At this context of apparent narrowing of the design approximations of hypermedia with cinema given the job of the cropped image in these contemporary productions, this research aims to answer: In what measure, on a Machinima production, identifies the type of appropriations plans cinema camera? To answer this question, the purpose of this research was to identify the specifics of Machinima production, in view of the possible modes of appropriation of the type of plans cinema camera. So, on this presente research, characterized as exploratory and qualitative, were reviewed themes as: hypermidia, Machinima and cinema. Later, it was selected as an example for analysis, the short Machinima movie ?The Paulo Bruscky?s adventure?, produced in online 3D hypermidiatic plataform.With the development of the data analysis of this production, interpretive discussion, it was possible to point out the significant presence of images with heritage of the typology of cinema câmera plans. Identified, yet, another solutions here considered "image-into-image" that divide themselves in new windows and presente themselves as features like the graphical interface of the online enviroment where they have been created
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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.
