    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    摘 要 本研究使用李宗豪所開發的最佳化設計系統(李宗豪 2005)為最佳化設計工具,針對積層板角度排列作最佳化設計,且增加對視窗化軟體驅動。 在原本的最佳化設計系統中所使用的有限元素分析軟體為ABAQUS與ANSYS,而這兩種軟體皆可以命令列的方式驅動分析,但有些如:SAP2000、ETABS這類的軟體無法由命令列的方式驅動,所以本研究第一部份使用WindowsAPI的方式來控制游標的移動達到控制視窗軟體的目的。 積層板是由基材(matrix)與纖維(filber)所組成,因為纖維角度排列對其力學行為有重要的影響,所以本文利用最佳化設計系統(李宗豪 2005)探討角度的排列方式對於結構挫屈與頻率的影響,找出最佳化的角度使得結構的挫屈值最大或第一頻率最大。目 錄 表 目 錄 IX 圖 目 錄 XI 第一章 緒論 1 1.1 研究動機、背景 1 1.2 文獻回顧 2 1.3 研究目的 3 1.4 研究內容 4 第二章 結構最佳化系統介紹 7 2.1 前言 7 2.2 最佳化問題描述 7 2.3 結構最佳化分析方法與工具介紹 9 2.3.1 數學規劃法(Mathematical Programming, MP) 9 2.3.2 結構最佳化演進法(Evolutionary Structural Optimization ESO) 13 2.3.3 基因演算法 16 2.3.4 有限元素套裝軟體(ABAQUS & ANSYS & SAP2000) 17 2.4 結構最佳化系統架構介紹 19 2.4.1 最佳化設計模組 20 2.4.2 有限元素分析模組 21 2.4.3 資料處理模組 22 2.4.4 有限元素模型更新模組 22 2.4.5 函數計算模組 23 2.4.6 使用者介面說明 24 2.5 小結 24 第三章 積層板與反應譜介紹 31 3.1 前言 31 3.2 反應譜介紹 31 3.3 複合板(Composite plate)介紹 35 3.4 例題驗證 40 3.5 小結 43 第四章 整合SAP2000於結構最佳化系統 55 4.1 前言 55 4.2 SAP2000文字輸入檔格式 55 4.3 SAP2000文字輸出檔格式 56 4.4 整合SAP2000於最佳化程式 56 4.4.1 Windows API 57 4.4.2 函數使用 57 4.5 例題驗證 59 4.6 小結 64 第五章 應用最佳化程式於最佳化設計 81 5.1 前言 81 5.2 複合版最佳化設計 81 5.2.1 挫屈問題 81 5.2.2 頻率問題 88 5.3 反應譜(Response Spectrum) 92 5.4 小結 93 第六章 結論與未來展望 123 6.1 結論 123 6.2 未來展望 124 參 考 文 獻 127 附錄 A函數計算與有限元素模型更新之描述式 13

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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 text
    In 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.
