No full textMarketing Angel piece with an interview with Max Jones, who, with his wife Lisa Muller-Jones, runs Mojo Graphic Design in Saco. Jones discusses what a small business should look for in hiring a photographer, how his photography business works, and what he has learned from working with film directors like David Lynch and John Sayles
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
THE COMPARISON OF THE MAX JONES QUADRATHLON WITH THE VERTICAL JUMP AND WINGATE CYCLE TESTS AS A METHOD TO ASSESS ANAEROBIC POWER IN FEMALE DIVISION I COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYERS
Get PDFTHE COMPARISON OF THE MAX JONES QUADRATHLON WITH THE VERTICAL JUMP AND WINGATE CYCLE TESTS AS A METHOD TO ASSESS ANAEROBIC POWER IN FEMALE DIVISION I COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYERSKory A. Stauffer, PhDUniversity of Pittsburgh, 2005The purpose of this study was to determine whether a significant relation existed between the Max Jones Quad test and two established anaerobic power tests in female Division I basketball players. A secondary purpose was to develop models to predict:1.Anaerobic power (as measured by the Wingate cycle and vertical jump tests) using anthropometric measures and components of the Max Jones Quadrathlon 2.Basketball performance from anaerobic power (as determined by the Vertical Jump, Wingate cycle, and Max Jones Quadrathlon tests). Thirteen members of the University of Pittsburgh Women's Division I basketball team were recruited for this investigation and had the support and approval of the University of Pittsburgh Department of Athletics, head women's Basketball Coach, and strength and conditioning coach. The women's basketball team met for testing on three separate days. On the first day, anthropometric measurements and the vertical jump test were performed. Peak and mean anaerobic power were determined using equations based on each subject's individual vertical jump height in centimeters (cm), body mass in kilograms (kg), and height in centimeters (cm). On the second day, the Max Jones Quadrathalon Test was performed, which consists of four stations: 1) standing broad jump, 2) 3 consecutive broad jumps, 3) overhead shot put toss, and 4) 30 meter sprint. The standing broad jump, 3 consecutive broad jumps, and overhead shot put toss were measured in meters (m) and centimeters (cm), while the 30 meter sprint was timed in seconds. On the third and final day, the subjects performed the 30-second Wingate cycle ergometer test. Peak and mean anaerobic power, as well as the fatigue index (percent change) over the 30-seconds, were calculated by a computer program during the test. Relationships between the Max Jones Quadrathlon total score and anaerobic power determined by the Vertical Jump and Wingate cycle tests were not significant. A significant relationship was found between anaerobic power on the Wingate cycle test and the 30 meter sprint (p<0.05), but with no other components of the Max Jones Quadrathlon for either anaerobic power test. Additionally, correlations between vertical jump height and Max Jones Quadrathlon components were found to be significant (p<0.05 and p<0.01). Models to predict anaerobic power from anthropometric measures and Max Jones Quadrathlon components and models to predict basketball performance from anaerobic power were created. Several equations for each case were deemed significant (p=0.000) for predicting either anaerobic power or basketball performance in female players. This was the first study comparing the Max Jones Quadrathlon to established tests to measure anaerobic power. The preliminary results of the present study did not establish a relationship between the Wingate Cycle and Vertical Jump Tests and the Max Jones Quadrathlon. There exists a need to explore updated and sport specific measurement techniques
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
