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
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
Observing the four dimensional structure and variability of the Southern Ocean using satellite altimetry
No full textWe present a gravest empirical mode (GEM) projection, of temperature and salinity fields in the Southern Ocean that, combined with satellite altimetry, produces time evolving temperature, salinity and velocity fields, and use these to observe the mean and synoptically varying properties of the Southern Ocean from 1992-2006. Historical hydrography from 1920-2006 is used to produce GEM projections of the circumpolar temperature and‚Äö salinity fields in longitude/dynamic height space between 25-5400 dbar. Combining these fields with altimefric SSH creates synoptic temperature and salinity fields (satGEM fields) at seven-day time intervals on a 1/3¬¨‚àû grid. The satGEM fields resolve front and eddy features significantly more accurately than climatologies and can reproduce the time evolution of the T-S fields. These are used to create baroclinic velocities that produce realistic ACC volume transports and correlate well with ARGO velocities (u and v coefficients of 0.60 and 0.53). Although these fields accurately estimate a pointwise mean southward eddy heat transport of -37.7 KWm\^{-2}\ in the SAF, the global mean northward eddy heat and freshwater transports of ‚ÄövÑvÆ0.08 ¬¨¬± 0.01 PW and 0.025 ¬¨¬± 0.01 Sv are small due to the satGEM's inability to resolve eddy tilt. An explicit eddy tracking method produces similar transports, and as the two methods work at different length scales we combine them for a minimum bound on the eddy transport across the SAF of 0.14 ¬¨¬± 0.03 PW of heat southward and 0.04 ¬¨¬± 0.03 Sv of freshwater northward. There is a warming (1.219¬¨¬±0.089 Wm\^{-2}\) and weak freshening (5.85¬¨¬±0.16 mmy\^{-1}\ m\^{-2}\) of the ACC induced by adiabatic Water mass movement between 1992-2006. The diabatic contribution due to heat and freshwater fluxes drives a cooling (-0.628 ¬¨¬± 0.129 Wtp\^{-2}\) and freshening (30.27 ¬¨¬± 0.70 mmy\^{-1}\ m\^{-2}\), with a net trend of 0.591 ¬¨¬± 0.093 Wm\^{-2}\ and 36.12 ¬¨¬± 0.68 mmy\^{-1}\ m\^{-2}\. Although there is no trend in zonal ACC mass transport at any longitude, nor a change in eddy kinetic energy, eddy number or eddy meridional property transport, there is substantial variability driven by the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and the El Ni‚âàv†o Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The SAM influences the Southern Ocean at frequencies of less than three months, while ENSO operates on interannual timescales. The ENSO driven trend in the Pacific dominates the total adiabatic heat and freshwater content change during strong El Ni‚âàv†o and La Ni‚âàv†a years (1997-2002), while outside this period the SAM is a greater contributor, but with a lag of 4-5 years. An increased SAM leads to a roughly circumpolar 5% increase in the zonal volume transport of the ACC. Additionally, there is a clear lag of 1.6-3.2 years between an increase in the SAM and an increase in the EKE and number of eddies across the whole ACC. The response of eddy heat and freshwater transport is less clear, but at a similar lag there is an increase of 0.01-0.1 PW of southward heat transport and 0.01-0.1 Sv of northward freshwater transport across the SAF. The weak transport response to wind stress change and lagged eddy transport indicates that the ACC is in an eddy saturated state

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.
