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
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

ART Provincializar Bildung, Perseguir La Historia
No full textLas discusiones sobre descolonialidad tienen exponentes en varias áreas de las ciencias sociales y la literatura. ¿Qué significa esta vasta novedad teórica para lo que ya se considera consolidado, como es el concepto de Bildungsroman? Esto es nuevo, con la salvedad de que se hace en las universidades; pero algunas de estas epistemologías transmiten a Occidente conocimientos tan antiguos como Homero. Walter Benjamin (2006, p. 945) dice que “el movimiento vital de la moda” consiste en “transformar pocas cosas”. En este ensayo, coincidimos con la desconfianza de Benjamin respecto a las cuestiones de moda y tratamos de ampliar el potencial de transformación de las teorías decoloniales: a partir de la lectura de “Balada de amor ao vento”, de Paulina Chiziane, tomada como objeto a la luz de El concepto Como novela formativa, intentaré proponer cómo la teoría de historia presente en el libro puede iluminar cuestiones sobre la historiografía occidental.Le discussioni sulla decolonialità sono esponenti in diverse aree delle scienze sociali e della letteratura. Cosa significa questa vasta novità teorica per ciò che è già considerato consolidato, come il concetto di Bildungsroman? Questa è una novità, con l'avvertenza fatta nelle università; ma alcune di queste epistemologie portano in Occidente conoscenze antiche quanto Omero. Walter Benjamin (2006, p. 945) afferma che “il movimento vitale della moda” consiste nel “trasformare poche cose”. In questo saggio condivideremo la diffidenza di Benjamin nei confronti delle questioni della moda e cercheremo di espandere il potenziale di trasformazione delle teorie decoloniali: partendo dalla lettura di “Balada de amor ao vento”, di Paulina Chiziane, presa come oggetto alla luce di il concetto Come romanzo formativo, cercherò di proporre come la teoria della storia presente nel libro possa illuminare le questioni sulla storiografia occidentale.As discussões sobre decolonialidade são expoentes em diversas áreas das ciências sociais e da literatura.

Walter Benjamin (2006, p. 945) diz que “o movimento vital da moda” consiste em “transformar poucas coisas”. Neste ensaio, iremos concordar com a desconfiança benjaminiana acerca dos assuntos da moda e tentar alargar o potencial de transformação das teorias decoloniais: a partir da leitura de “Balada de amor ao vento”, de Paulina Chiziane, tomado como objeto sob a luz do conceito de romance de formação, buscarei propor como a teoria da história presente no livro pode iluminar questões sobre a historiografia ocidental.Discussions about decoloniality are exponents in several areas of social sciences and literature. What does this vast theoretical novelty mean for what is already considered consolidated, such as the concept of Bildungsroman? This is new, with the caveat being made in universities; but some of these epistemologies carry knowledge as old as Homer is to the West. Walter Benjamin (2006, p. 945) says that “the vital movement of fashion” consists of “transforming few things”. In this essay, we will agree with Benjamin's distrust regarding fashion issues and try to expand the potential for transformation of decolonial theories: based on the reading of “Balada de amor ao vento”, by Paulina Chiziane, taken as an object in the light of the concept As a formative novel, I will seek to propose how the theory of history present in the book can illuminate questions about Western historiography.Les discussions sur la décolonialité sont présentes dans plusieurs domaines des sciences sociales et de la littérature.

Walter Benjamin (2006, p. 945) dit que « le mouvement vital de la mode » consiste à « transformer peu de choses ». Dans cet essai, nous partagerons la méfiance de Benjamin à l'égard des questions de mode et tenterons d'élargir le potentiel de transformation des théories décoloniales : à partir de la lecture de « Balada de amor ao vento » prise comme objet à la lumière de le concept En tant que roman formateur, je chercherai à proposer comment théorie de l'histoire présente dans le livre peut éclairer les questions sur l'historiographie
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.
