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
Designing in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais Mining Basin. Territory, architecture & post-industrial heritage : from "dead grounds" to living soil
No full textLe Bassin minier du Nord et du Pas-de-Calais se caractérise par un paysage, un urbanisme et une architecture résultants de deux siècles d'exploitation intensive du charbon, en transition brutale suite à la fermeture des mines. Ni ville ni campagne, dépourvu de frontières, cet espace forme un territoire de projet bien spécifique. Son inscription en 2012 sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial par l'UNESCO en tant que « paysage culturel évolutif et vivant », pensée comme une force de résilience, a porté la question patrimoniale et architecturale sur un terrain rarement abordé et à une échelle inédite, soulevant de nombreuses questions pour les architectes et acteurs du territoire : plus de 28.000 maisons de mines, chevalements, monuments et terrils… Si la recherche sur le Bassin minier a fait l'objet d'un regain d'intérêt depuis une dizaine d'années dans plusieurs disciplines, les architectes et urbanistes se sont étonnamment peu intéressés à ce sujet.Dans la conjoncture actuelle de transition territoriale post-industrielle, cette thèse propose donc une enquête descriptive et prospective sur l'héritage minier architectural, urbain et paysager comme ressource du territoire, et sur la contribution du projet d'architecture, en tant que processus conceptuel et opérant. Elle propose un cadre explicatif aux situations spatiales de complexité, d'incertitude et de singularité rencontrées sur le terrain, comme socle pour « faire projet » en ces lieux. Cette recherche par le projet en architecture interroge les problématiques techniques, administratives et doctrinales rencontrées dans la pratique de la maîtrise d'œuvre. Pour cela, elle utilise une approche abductive et réflexive, et s'appuie sur deux corpus principaux : 353 objets spatiaux inscrits par l'UNESCO, et 9 projets choisis, pour partie dirigés par l'auteur entre 2012 et 2022 au sein de l'Atelier d'Architecture Philippe Prost. Ces projets, considérés comme producteurs de connaissance, sont analysés au prisme des discours, des jeux d'acteurs et des percepts produits. Le relevé graphique inédit de l'intégralité du corpus des 353 éléments spatiaux constitue un Atlas des restes miniers, publié sous la forme d'un second volume.Cette thèse interroge successivement et à plusieurs échelles les spécificités territoriales du Bassin minier, le rôle et la place de l'architecture dans les transformations en cours, et la participation des politiques mémorielles et patrimoniales à ces évolutions. Ces trois questions - territoriale, architecturale et patrimoniale - sont croisées avec trois couples dialogiques - dessus/dessous, monumental/banal, inerte/vivant. La grille de lecture qui en ressort met en lumière la nécessité d'élaborer un « projet de sol » tridimensionnel prenant en compte les sols artificiels et les sous-sols du Bassin minier, de conduire un urbanisme de révélation et d'impulsion en prise avec l'ordinaire, dans une approche holistique et typologique, et d'intégrer le nouveau paradigme du vivant dans une approche écosystémique et dynamique.The Nord and Pas-de-Calais Mining Basin is characterised by a landscape, urban planning and architecture shaped by two centuries of intensive coal mining, in sharp transition since the closure of the mines. Neither town nor country, with no borders, this area forms a very specific territory, in need of design. Its inclusion on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2012 as an "organically evolved continuing cultural landscape", seen as a force for resilience, has taken the issue of heritage and architecture into new territory and on an unprecedented scale, raising many questions for architects and other stakeholders : more than 28,000 miners housing, headframes, monuments and slag heaps... While there has been renewed interest in research about this Mining Basin over the last ten years in various disciplines, architects and town planners have shown surprisingly little interest in the subject.In the current context of post-industrial territorial transition, this practice-led PhD thesis proposes a descriptive and prospective investigation into the architectural, urban and landscape mining heritage as a territorial resource, and into the contribution of the architectural design as a conceptual and operational process. It proposes an explanatory framework for spatial situations of complexity, uncertainty and singularity encountered in the field, as a basis for 'designing' in these places. This research into architectural design questions the technical, administrative and doctrinal issues encountered in the practice of project development. It uses an abductive and reflexive approach, and is based on two main corpuses : 353 spatial objects listed by UNESCO, and 9 selected projects, some of which were directed by the author between 2012 and 2022 at the Atelier d'Architecture Philippe Prost. These projects, considered as as Knowledge Producers, are analysed through the prism of the discourses, the interplay of actors and the percepts produced. The previously unpublished graphic survey of the entire corpus of 353 spatial elements forms an Atlas of Mining Remains, published as a second volume.This thesis successively examines, at several levels, the specific territorial characteristics of the Mining Basin, the role and place of architecture in the transformations underway, and the participation of memorial and heritage policies in these changes. These three questions - territory, architecture and heritage - are crossed with three dialogical pairs - above/below, monumental/banal, inert/alive. The reading grid that emerges highlights the need to develop a three-dimensional 'soil project' that takes into account the artificial soils and subsoils of the coalfield, to develop an urban planning approach that reveals and stimulates the ordinary, using a holistic and typological approach, and to integrate the new paradigm of the living into an ecosystemic and dynamic approach
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.
