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.

Caracterización del sacrificio fiscal y la importancia de incorporar su costo en el proceso público presupuestario: Un enfoque fenomenológico
No full textThe following article reveals that the characterization of fiscal sacrifice depends on the interdisciplinary treatment given to the area of tax expenditures and tax benefits. Certain interpretations have arisen from knowledgeable subjects regarding the following questions: How can tax sacrifice be characterized in the regulatory framework of the Venezuelan context? Which tax benefits are considered tax expenditures? In order to answer these questions, it is proposed that tax sacrifice comprises an economic effort by the State, which directly affects the development of specific economic sectors and the fulfillment of social objectives aimed at improving the collective welfare. Furthermore, a dialogical analysis was used as the methodology applied in this article, from Husserl's phenomenology (1997), as an approach and method, which tries to understand, in an immediate way, the world of man through an intellectual vision based on the intuition of the thing itself. The instruments used to gather information are represented by semi-structured interviews applied to key informants, as well as a structured intentional analysis matrix (Krippendorff, 1990) according to the dimensions of the study. In conclusion, the following categories were revealed: Phenomenological characterization of tax sacrifice; Effects of tax sacrifice on the budget planning process; and, Identification of the approach to define the tax references and tax expenditures that are present in the national taxation regulatory framework.Cet article révèle que la caractérisation du sacrifice fiscal dépend du traitement interdisciplinaire qui a été donné à la question des dépenses fiscales et des avantages fiscaux. Les sentiments des sujets expérimentés en la matière sont exprimés, apportant des interprétations aux questions : Comment caractériser le sacrifice fiscal dans le cadre réglementaire du contexte vénézuélien ? Quels avantages fiscaux sont considérés comme des charges fiscales ? Pour y répondre, on avance que le sacrifice fiscal comprend un effort économique de la part de l'État qui affecte le développement de certains secteurs économiques et la réalisation d'objectifs à caractère social visant à améliorer le bien-être collectif. La méthodologie qui a été assumée est de nature dialogique, issue de la phénoménologie de Husserl (1997), en tant qu'approche et méthode, qui tente de comprendre, immédiatement, le monde de l'homme à travers une vision intellectuelle basée sur l'intuition de la chose elle-même. Les instruments utilisés pour la collecte de données sont représentés par des entretiens semi-structurés qui ont été appliqués aux informateurs clés, ainsi qu'une matrice d'analyse intentionnelle structurée (Krippendorff, 1990) basée sur les dimensions de l'étude. En guise de clôture, les catégories suivantes ont été dégagées : Caractérisation phénoménologique du sacrifice fiscal ; Effets du sacrifice fiscal dans le processus d'élaboration du budget, et, Identification de l'approche pour définir les impôts de référence et les dépenses fiscales présentes dans le cadre réglementaire de la fiscalité nationale.El presente artículo revela que la caracterización del sacrificio fiscal depende del tratamiento interdisciplinario que se le ha dado al tema de los gastos tributarios y los beneficios fiscales. Se manifiesta el sentir de sujetos con experiencia en esta materia aportando interpretaciones ante las preguntas: ¿Cómo puede caracterizarse el sacrificio fiscal en el marco normativo del contexto venezolano? ¿Cuáles beneficios fiscales son considerados gastos tributarios? Para responder a esto, se plantea que el sacrificio fiscal comprende un esfuerzo económico por parte del Estado que incide en el desarrollo de determinados sectores económicos y en el cumplimiento de objetivos de índole social que están orientados a mejorar el bienestar colectivo. La metodología que se asumió es de carácter dialógica, desde la fenomenología de Husserl (1997), como enfoque y método, el cual intenta comprender, de forma inmediata, el mundo del hombre mediante una visión intelectual basada en la intuición de la cosa misma. Los instrumentos usados para la recolección de información están representados por entrevistas semiestructuradas que se aplicaron a informantes claves, así como una matriz de análisis intencional estructurada (Krippendorff, 1990) en función a las dimensiones del estudio. A modo de cierre se develaron las siguientes categorías: Caracterización fenomenológica del sacrificio fiscal; Efectos del sacrificio fiscal en el proceso de formulación presupuestaria, e, Identificación del enfoque para definir los impuestos de referencia y de los gastos tributarios presentes en el marco normativo de imposición nacional
