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
Reconnaissance identitaire et mouvement coopératif dans l’expérience des Inuit du Nunavik
Full text linkLes coopératives évoluent dans une multitude de régions et de cultures. Plus qu’un élément secondaire, l’aspect culturel et identitaire du développement coopératif est au cœur de ses enjeux de développement et de sa définition-même. En effet, historiquement, l’implantation et le développement des coopératives ont été associés à des réalités identitaires importantes, comme l’illustrent les expériences coopératives acadiennes, basques, québécoises et inuites.
Cette thèse étudie l’expérience des 14 coopératives du Nunavik et de leur fédération. Coopératives de consommateurs multiservices, dont les membres sont presque tous Inuit, elles sont l’initiative d’acteurs variés (État, religieux, gérant de magasins). Les premières coopératives ont été mises sur pied à partir de la fin des années 1950 et ont rapidement été gérées par les Inuit eux-mêmes. Venues briser le monopole qu’avait la Compagnie de la Baie-d’Hudson, l’établissement des coopératives au Nunavik correspond également à un changement fondamental dans l’économie et la politique du territoire et des communautés qui y vivent.
Grâce à une soixantaine d’entretiens semi-dirigés et plusieurs séjours sur place, cette étude de cas suggestif permet de comprendre la contribution des coopératives membres de la Fédération des coopératives du Nouveau-Québec (FCNQ) à la reconnaissance identitaire des personnes et des collectivités touchées par leurs activités. En mobilisant la théorie de la reconnaissance et de la liberté sociale d’Axel Honneth (2000, 2014) et l’approche du triple mouvement coopératif (Draperi, 2007), l’analyse de l’expérience des coopératives du Nunavik révèle des attentes et des effets de reconnaissance associés à la reconnaissance affective, juridique et de la contribution à la société. Ces effets agissent sur différents types de capitaux, par le biais de moyens mis en place par les coopératives. Certaines conditions internes spécifiques aux coopératives influencent également la reconnaissance identitaire des Inuit.
Cette thèse contribue à une meilleure compréhension des coopératives en matière de reconnaissance identitaire et culturelle. Elle rend compte de l’imbrication des besoins et aspirations des membres et offre des précisions de définitions quant à ces deux termes centraux aux théories coopératives. De l’expérience des coopératives du Nunavik, on peut dégager le constat que la prise en compte profonde et concomitante des trois mouvements coopératifs (mouvement de pensée, mouvement social et mouvement d’entreprise) produit une reconnaissance identitaire des personnes et des collectivités. Les coopératives constituent un moyen et un lieu de reconnaissance affective (par la réponse aux besoins de base et la mise en place d’un lieu de rencontre), de reconnaissance juridique (par le biais des principes démocratiques, de responsabilisation et des valeurs d’égalité et d’équité) et de reconnaissance des particularités et compétences (par la participation de chacun à la réalisation d’une mission commune et leurs activités d’éducation et de formation). Ultimement, elles permettent aux individus et aux collectivités d’exercer leur liberté sociale et d’assurer le respect de leur dignité.Cooperatives operate in a multitude of regions and cultures. More than a secondary element, the cultural and identity aspect of cooperative development is at the heart of its development issues and its very definition. Indeed, historically, the establishment and development of cooperatives have been associated with important identity realities, as illustrated by the Acadian, Basque, Quebecois and Inuit cooperative experiences.
This thesis studies the experience of the 14 Nunavik cooperatives and their federation. Multiservice consumer cooperatives, whose members are almost all Inuit, they are the initiative of various actors (state, religious, store managers). The first cooperatives were established in the late 1950s and were quickly managed by the Inuit themselves. Coming to break the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company, the establishment of cooperatives in Nunavik also corresponds to a fundamental change in the economy and politics of the territory and the communities that live there.
Through some sixty semi-structured interviews and several on-site visits, this suggestive case study allows us to understand the contribution of the member cooperatives of the Fédération des coopératives du Nouveau-Québec (FCNQ) to the recognition of the persons’ and communities’ identities affected by their activities. By mobilizing Axel Honneth's theory of recognition and social freedom (2000. 2014) and the triple cooperative movement approach (Draperi, 2007), the analysis of the experience of Nunavik cooperatives reveals recognition expectations and effects associated with emotional recognition, legal recognition and the recognition of the contribution to society. These effects act on different types of capital, through means set up by cooperatives. Certain internal conditions specific to cooperatives also influence identity recognition of Inuit.
This thesis contributes to a better understanding of cooperatives in terms of identity and cultural recognition. It accounts for the interweaving of the needs and aspirations of members and provides clarification of the definitions of these two central terms of cooperative theories. From the experience of the Nunavik cooperatives, we can see that the profound and concomitant consideration of the three cooperative movements (thought movement, social movement and business movement) produces recognition of the identity of individuals and communities. Cooperatives are a mean and a place of emotional recognition (by responding to basic needs and setting up a meeting place), of legal recognition (by means of democratic principles, mutual responsability and values of equality and equity) and of recognition of particularities and skills (through everyone’s participation in the achievement of a common mission and their education and training activities). Ultimately, they enable individuals and communities to exercise their social freedom and ensure respect of their dignity
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

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.
