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
Türkiye'de fiskal kısıtlama politikasının kentsel dayanıklılık üzerindeki etkisinin analizi
No full textUrban resilience is defined as the ability of urban economies to absorb, respond to, and recover from external and internal shocks, including economic crises, policy changes, natural disasters, and socio-political disruptions. During financial crises, governments often attempt to stabilize the economy through fiscal austerity policies, which is one of the most comprehensive policy responses, including methods such as the government increasing taxes or reducing public spending. However, the socioeconomic impact of such policies in developing nations remains unexplored. Therefore, the objective of this research is to empirically analyze Türkiye's fiscal austerity and its potential implications for regional urban resilience. While most literature predominantly explores the macro-level impacts of fiscal policies, this research conducts cross-regional comparative research using data on urban resilience and fiscal austerity in all 81 provinces of Türkiye between 2008 and 2024. With Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the urban resilience index is developed using 14 comprehensive indicators across three dimensions: economic, social, and infrastructural, allowing the analysis to provide a more nuanced interpretation of the relationship between urban adaptability and fiscal pressures. Moreover, an advanced mapping technique was employed through the R program to visualize and interpret spatial disparities in urban resilience. Panel VAR analysis is another important component of this analysis, as it intends to capture dynamic policy effects over time, while fixed effects estimation captures the relationship between fiscal austerity and urban resilience. The study reveals that fiscal austerity limits local growth by lowering investments in public development projects. This threatens regional urban resilience, undermining the impacts on weaker economies and exacerbating spatial inequalities. The study suggests that policymakers should develop inclusive fiscal strategies to promote equitable urban development. It provides real-world policy considerations and implications for fiscal austerity as part of sustainable urban economies.Kentsel dayanıklılık, kentsel ekonomilerin ekonomik krizler, politika değişiklikleri, doğal afetler ve sosyo-politik kesintiler dahil olmak üzere dış ve iç şokları absorbe etme, bunlara yanıt verme ve bunlardan kurtulma yeteneği olarak tanımlanır. Mali krizler sırasında, hükümetler genellikle hükümetin vergileri artırması veya kamu harcamalarını azaltması gibi yöntemleri içeren en kapsamlı politika yanıtlarından biri olan mali kemer sıkma politikaları yoluyla ekonomiyi istikrara kavuşturmaya çalışır. Ancak, bu tür politikaların gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki sosyo-ekonomik etkisi henüz araştırılmamıştır. Bu nedenle, bu araştırmanın amacı Türkiye'nin mali kemer sıkma politikasını ve bölgesel kentsel dayanıklılık için potansiyel etkilerini ampirik olarak analiz etmektir. Çoğu literatür ağırlıklı olarak mali politikaların makro düzeydeki etkilerini araştırırken, bu araştırma 2008 ile 2024 yılları arasında Türkiye'nin 81 ilinde kentsel dayanıklılık ve mali kemer sıkma hakkındaki verileri kullanarak bölge çapında karşılaştırmalı bir araştırma yürütmektedir. Temel Bileşen Analizi (PCA) ile kentsel dayanıklılık endeksi, üç boyutta 14 kapsamlı gösterge kullanılarak geliştirilmiştir; ekonomik, sosyal ve altyapısal olarak analizin kentsel uyum ve mali baskılar arasındaki ilişkinin daha ayrıntılı bir yorumunu sunmasına olanak tanır. Ayrıca, kentsel dayanıklılıktaki mekansal farklılıkları görselleştirmek ve yorumlamak için R programı aracılığıyla gelişmiş haritalama tekniği kullanıldı. Panel VAR analizi, zaman içinde dinamik politika etkilerini yakalamayı amaçladığı için bu analizin bir diğer önemli bileşenidir; sabit etkiler tahmini ise mali kemer sıkma ile kentsel dayanıklılık arasındaki ilişkiyi yakalar.Çalışma, mali kemer sıkmanın kamusal kalkınma projelerine yapılan yatırımları azaltarak yerel büyümeyi sınırladığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu, bölgesel kentsel dayanıklılığı tehdit ederek daha zayıf ekonomiler üzerindeki etkileri zayıflatır ve mekansal eşitsizlikleri daha da kötüleştirir. Çalışma, politika yapıcıların eşitlikçi kentsel kalkınmayı teşvik etmek için kapsayıcı mali stratejiler geliştirmeleri gerektiğini öne sürmektedir. Sürdürülebilir kentsel ekonomilerin bir parçası olarak mali kemer sıkma için gerçek dünya politika değerlendirmeleri ve çıkarımları sağla
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

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.
