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
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
As formações neológicas mais frequentes em comentários online: contribuições para o ensino do português
No full textThe present research assumes the commitment to undertake a research about perspectives
for the study of the lexicon, considering the most frequent neological formations in the
emerging genre online commentary textual. Considering the impacts of the new digital
technologies in the forms of the normalized use of the language, this work intends to
describe the neological formations with their rules of word formation, present in online
comments texts in virtual environments, as well as to inventory occurrences of lexical
items present in online comments that present different formative processes of the presuppositions presented by the normative grammar and codify the procedures used in the
formation of these words. In addition, the work also points to the need to present a
pedagogical approach, based on the analysis of the neologisms collected, with emphasis
on the teaching of the processes of formation of new words, this is because it is necessary
to see that the teaching of Portuguese Language as we currently see, is rethought in a
way that language teaching plays a significant role in the life of the student subject, since
these impacts on the forms of language use have led to focus that directly affect the way
of reading and writing and reconstruct institutionalized forms in order to propose new
parameters for communication. According to Ferraz (2008, p. 146), the research defines “the open set, organized by productive rules, of the lexical units that make up the
language of a linguistic community” and, in this context, the neological formations are classified according to Alves (1990) who define them as: semantic, formal and loan. Still in this direction, we also anchor ourselves in theorists such as Rocha (1998), Ganan¸ca (2017), Contiero and Ferraz (2014), Alves (2010), Valente (2010), Correia (2011), among others that deal with the neology in Brazilian Portuguese. In order to collect the data, we adopt as a methodological procedure the lexicographic criterion, in which it is only
possible to affirm the neological character of the lexical item if it is not present in the dictionaries. To date, the data have revealed how language can present varied processes, not only those of grammar, to form new vocabulary that expresses greater expressiveness
to speech, or even to name objects, events, among others. It is possible to perceive in the presented data the formations that are most common in the language and that, even, are present in the textbooks and are taught in the schools. As is the case of prefixal and
suffix derivations that are still extremely productive in Brazilian Portuguese and also add a semantic value based on the intentionality of the user of the language.A presente pesquisa assume o compromisso de empreender uma pesquisa acerca de perspectivas para o estudo do léxico, considerando as formações neológicas mais frequentes no gênero textual emergente comentário online. Considerando os impactos das novas tecnologias digitais nas formas do uso normatizado da língua, este trabalho pretende descrever as formações neológicas, com suas regras de formação de palavras, presentes em textos de comentários online em ambientes virtuais, bem como inventariar ocorrências de itens lexicais presentes em comentários online que apresentam processos formativos diferentes dos pressupostos apresentados pela gramática normativa e sistematizar procedimentos utilizados na formação desses vocábulos. Além disso, o trabalho também aponta para a necessidade de apresentar uma abordagem pedagógica, a partir da análise dos neologismos coletados, com ênfase no ensino dos processos de formação de palavras novas, isso porque é visível como é necessário que o ensino de Língua Portuguesa tal como vemos atualmente seja repensado de forma que o ensino da língua atue significativamente na vida do sujeito aluno, uma vez que esses impactos nas formas de uso da língua têm propiciado redimensionamentos que incidem diretamente sobre a forma de ler e escrever, e reconstroem as formas institucionalizadas de modo a propor novos parâmetros para a comunicação. A pesquisa compreende o léxico de acordo com Ferraz (2008, p. 146) que define como “o conjunto aberto, organizado por regras produtivas, das unidades lexicais que compõem a língua de uma comunidade linguística” e, nesse contexto, as formações neológicas são classificadas de acordo com Alves (1990) que as definem como: semântica, formal e de empréstimo. Ainda nessa direção, nos ancoramos também em teóricos como Rocha (1998), Ganança (2017), Contiero e Ferraz (2014), Alves (2010), Valente (2010), Correia (2011), entre outros que versam sobre o processo de neologia no Português Brasileiro. Para a coleta dos dados adotamos como procedimento metodológico o critério lexicográfico, em que só é possível afirmar o caráter neológico do item lexical caso ele não esteja presente nos dicionários. Até o momento, os dados obtidos têm revelado como a língua pode apresentar processos variados, que não só os da gramática, para formar novos vocábulos que imprimem maior expressividade ao discurso, ou, até mesmo, nomear objetos, eventos, entre outros. É possível perceber nos dados apresentados as formações que são mais comuns na língua e que, inclusive, estão presentes nos livros didáticos e são ensinadas nas escolas. Como é o caso das derivações prefixais e sufixais que ainda se mostram extremamente produtivas no Português brasileiro e também agregam um valor semântico à base de acordo com a intencionalidade do usuário da língua.CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superio
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.
