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
Verheißung unbeschadeten Fortschritts
Full text linkThe promise of unblemished progress is consistently maintained in the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), albeit the understanding of political-social and scientific-technological progress among the rulers from Mao Zedong to Hu Jintao is modified and weighted differently, in adaptation to their conceptions.
In order to examine how ideologemes contribute to stabilization and persistence of conviction of a determinate course of development and unlimited progress, progress and development ideologemes are identified and their functions analyzed in different contexts. Investigated are ideologemes in the CCP since 1949 and their emergence in case studies (discussion of nuclear energy in the People's Republic of China (PRC), the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 and the Three Gorges Dam project) and especially the discourse of critical voices.
The ideologemes, which are demonstrated in this work, include vocabulary related to evaluation of the state of development, realization of progress, paths of catching-up modernization, and speed of development and progress.
They express the CCP's belief that under their authority development and progress are predictable and feasible, that development goals can be achieved and future progress can be generated.
Ideologemes as legitimizing tools imply actions and requests how to achieve goals as well as a belief that the development path of the PRC and the aspired progress are right.
In the case studies a persistence of this belief in progress can be stated. A questioning of it occurs only to a small extent. The different levels of criticism and the way in which positions are expressed reflect the range of the discussions: from the use of numerous ideologemes to complete absence; from constructive to radical; from ideological proximity to the party to deviations and distance.
Ideologemes have a meaningful effect on particular contexts and create ideological coherence between the CCP, the government, party-affiliated voices and critics who use them.
The use of the ideologemes, despite the intentions they pursue, ensures the continuity of their ideological content even beyond the Party's statements. This contributes to the fact that the propagated understanding of development and progress in the written sources endures, thus also strengthening the claim to power of the CCP and provides for an implicit rooting of a certain mindset, which, apart from dissidents and bloggers, is not questioned at all.Die Verheißung unbeschadeten Fortschritts wird in der Ideologie der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas (KPCh) durchgängig aufrechterhalten, wenngleich das Verständnis politisch-gesellschaftlichen und wissenschaftlich-technologischen Fortschritts unter den verschiedenen Machthabern von Mao Zedong bis Hu Jintao in Anpassung an deren Konzeptionen Modifizierungen erfährt und unterschiedlich gewichtet wird. Um zu prüfen, wie Ideologeme zur Stabilisierung und Persistenz der Überzeugung eines determinierten Entwicklungsablaufs und unbegrenzten Fortschritts beitragen, werden Fortschritts- und Entwicklungsideologeme identifiziert und ihre Funktionen in verschiedenen Kontexten analysiert. Untersucht werden Ideologeme in der KPCh seit dem Jahr 1949 sowie ihr Aufscheinen in Fallbeispielen (Diskussion der Atomenergie in der VR China, des Wenchuan-Erdbebens 2008 und des Drei-Schluchten-Staudamm-Projektes) und hierbei besonders der Diskurs kritischer Stimmen.
Die in der Arbeit nachgewiesenen Fortschritts- und Entwicklungsideologeme umfassen Vokabular in Zusammenhang mit der Bewertung des Entwicklungsstandes, der Realisierung von Fortschritt, den Wegen nachholender Modernisierung und der Geschwindigkeit von Entwicklung und Fortschritt.
Sie bringen die Überzeugung der KPCh zum Ausdruck, dass Entwicklung und Fortschritt unter ihrer Lenkung plan- und durchführbar sind, Entwicklungsziele somit erreichbar werden und zukünftiger Fortschritt generiert werden kann. Ideologeme werden darüber hinaus als Legitimationsinstrumente eingesetzt, die sowohl eine konkrete Handlung oder Aufforderung beinhalten, wie Ziele erreicht werden können, als auch auf der Überzeugung basieren, dass der Entwicklungsweg der VR China sowie der angestrebte Fortschritt richtig sind.
In den Fallbeispielen lässt sich eine Persistenz dieses Fortschrittsdenkens konstatieren. Ein Hinterfragen desselben findet nur in geringem Ausmaß statt. Die Bandbreite der Diskussionen zeigt sich in den verschiedenen Abstufungen der Kritik und der Art und Weise, wie Standpunkte geäußert werden: von der Verwendung zahlreicher Ideologeme bis hin zur vollständigen Abwesenheit dieser; von konstruktiv bis hin zu radikal; von ideologischer Nähe zur Partei bis hin zu Abweichungen und Distanz.
Ideologeme wirken sinnstiftend in den jeweiligen Kontext hinein und ermöglichen eine ideologische Kohärenz zwischen KPCh, Regierung, parteinahen Stimmen und denjenigen Kritikern, die sich ihrer bedienen.
Der Gebrauch der Ideologeme gewährleistet, ungeachtet der damit verfolgten Intention, dass auch über die Äußerungen der Partei hinaus deren ideologische Inhalte Kontinuität behalten. Dies trägt dazu bei, dass das propagierte Entwicklungs- und Fortschrittsverständnis in den schriftlichen Quellen Bestand hat, somit auch den Herrschaftsanspruch der KPCh stärkt und für eine implizite Verwurzelung eines bestimmten Gedankengutes sorgt, welches, abgesehen von Dissidenten und Bloggern, nicht hinterfragt wird

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.
