Author(ity): The Literature Review as Expert Witnesses
No full textIn diesem Artikel geht es um die Verwendung von Evidenzen zitierter Autoren; um (kritische) Literaturübersichten. Das Thema ist schon von andren Autoren behandelt worden – z.B. von WEBSTER und WATSON (2002) in der Zeitschrift MISQ und bei LATOUR (1987) in dem Buch "Science in Action". Erstere gehen von der Basismetapher ("root metaphor") aus, dass es sich bei referierter Literatur um objektive Fakten, um wahre Wegweiser auf Empirisches, handelt, während LATOUR annimmt, dass Literaturverweise strategisch eingesetzt werden, um den Leser für die eigene Position zu gewinnen. Hier soll anhand der Basismetapher des Gerichtssaals eine mittlere Position entworfen werden. Das Erfinden und die Rechtfertigung alternativer Basismetaphern ist von besonderer Bedeutung in der interpretativen Forschung. Von daher bietet die Darstellung unterschiedlicher Interpretationen desselben Gegenstands (Literaturreferenzen) eine einmalige Gelegenheit, "Interpretationssuche" als Forschungsmethodologie zu begreifen. Den Leserinnen und Lesern wird angeraten, die beiden genannten Interpretationen neben diesem Artikel zu lesen, um bemerken zu können, wie verschiedene Basismetaphern zu sehr unterschiedlichen Einschätzungen einer Situation führen können. Von daher wird in diesem Beitrag Sozialforschern nahegelegt, Literaturreferenzen als Sachverständigen-Gutachten für oder gegen die eigene Position zu betrachten. Der Gerichtssaal wird als eine Basismetapher dargestellt und erläutert.This paper is about using evidence from previous authors; literature reviews. This has already been done, for example by WEBSTER and WATSON (2002) in the journal MISQ and LATOUR (1987) in "Science in Action," but the former used the root metaphor of the previous literature being objective facts (truthful sign posts) towards empirics while LATOUR used the root metaphor of references ganging up on the reader to persuade. This paper will provide a middle road on the same topic using the root metaphor of the courtroom. Revealing and justifying alternative root metaphors is central to interpretive research. Therefore, presentation of these different interpretations of the same topic (literature reviews) provides a unique opportunity to appreciate "seeking interpretations" as a research methodology. Readers are advised to read these two other interpretations as well as this paper, noting how a different root metaphor can lead to very different appreciation of a situation. Therefore, and more specifically, this paper will argue for social inquiry researchers to adopt the root metaphor of considering literature reviews to be the calling upon expert witnesses to provide supporting or counter evidence justifying their paper's conclusion. It will present and demonstrate the courtroom as a root metaphor.Este artículo trata del uso de evidencias provenientes de autores previos: la revisión de literatura. Esto ya ha sido hecho, por ejemplo por WEBSTER y WATSON (2002) en la revista MISQ y LATOUR (1987) en "Science in Action" ("Ciencia y Acción", n. t.), pero el primero utilizó la metáfora central de los hechos objetivos existentes en la literatura previa, puestos como señales verdaderas, hacia lo empírico, mientras que LATOUR recurrió a la metáfora central de las referencias empleadas juntas para persuadir al lector. Este artículo proporcionará una vía intermedia acerca del mismo tópico utilizando la metáfora central de la sala de justicia. Revelar y justificar la metáfora central alternativa es básico para la investigación interpretativa. Por lo tanto, la presentación de estas diferentes interpretaciones acerca del mismo tópico (revisión de la literatura) aporta una oportunidad única para apreciar "la búsqueda de interpretaciones " como una metodología de investigación. A los lectores se les aconseja leer las otras dos interpretaciones junto con este artículo, y notar cómo una metáfora central diferente puede llevar a apreciaciones muy distintas acerca de la situación. Por tanto, y más específicamente, este artículo argumentará por la adopción de la metáfora central por parte de los investigadores sociales al considerar que revisión de la literatura está a llamada a ser testigo experto que proporciona apoyo o evidencias en contra de las conclusiones de sus artículos. Se presentará y demostrará la sala de juicios como una metáfora central
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

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.
