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
Modelo multidimensional para avaliação da qualidade de websites de imobiliárias
Get PDFTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção, Florianópolis, 2021.Manter um site atraente, apropriado ao público, fácil de usar e destacado no segmento em que atua é premissa para qualquer negócio que pretende usar a internet de maneira eficaz. No mercado imobiliário, onde a concorrência é acirrada e o uso da web é cada vez mais intenso, esses são fatores ainda mais relevantes. Neste contexto, considerando a chegada da transformação digital, a importância do setor imobiliário para a economia, a relevância que as imobiliárias possuem para as transações imobiliárias e o crescimento da busca de imóveis por meio dos websites, a construção de medidas de avaliação da qualidade dos websites das imobiliárias se torna indispensável. Entretanto, sabe-se que a elaboração de medidas da qualidade no contexto de websites é uma tarefa desafiadora, pois a qualidade em websites é um conceito complexo e de natureza multidimensional. Desse modo, o objetivo dessa pesquisa é mensurar a qualidade de websites de imobiliárias brasileiras. Para isso essa pesquisa está estruturada em quatro fases: (i) definição do construto qualidade de websites por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura; (ii) avaliação da satisfação dos usuários de websites de imobiliárias, podendo identificar itens que os usuários estão mais e menos satisfeitos; (iii) verificação da percepção dos gestores imobiliários sobre a importância de critérios no website imobiliários, levando em consideração o impacto da pandemia, observando se a percepção da importância de determinados itens modificou depois do início da pandemia; e (iv) construção de uma escala para avaliar os websites de imobiliárias brasileiras. Os resultados demonstraram que embora existam centenas de dimensões utilizadas para mensurar a qualidade de websites, estas possuem similaridades e podem ser agrupadas. Além disso, foi evidenciado a ausência de escalas para mensurar qualidade de websites no contexto imobiliário. Assim, apoiado pelos resultados obtidos com a avaliação da satisfação dos usuários e o da percepção dos gestores imobiliários, foi desenvolvido um instrumento composto de 71 itens e coletado dados de 679 websites de imobiliárias. Utilizando o meio modelo compensatório de dois parâmetros da Teoria da Resposta ao Item, uma escala tridimensional foi construída, contendo as dimensões: qualidade da informação, qualidade de serviço e qualidade de sistema. A pesquisa pioneira no tema de qualidade de websites de imobiliária contribui para a discussão acerca da temática, contribuindo para o avanço da discussão sobre a qualidade de websites. Futuramente a escala desenvolvida pode auxiliar as imobiliárias a melhorarem seus websites e até ser utilizado como um checklist para construção de websites de imobiliárias, verificando os itens que aumentam o grau de qualidade do website.Abstract: Keeping a website attractive, appropriate to the public, easy to use and highlighted in the segment in which it operates is a premise for any business that intends to use the internet effectively. In the real estate market, where competition is fierce and web usage is intense, these are even more relevant factors. In this context, considering the arrival of the digital transformation, the importance of the real estate sector for the economy, the relevance that real estate companies have for real estate transactions and the growth of the search for properties through websites, the development of measures to assess the quality of real estate websites becomes indispensable. However, it is known that quality measures in the context of websites is a challenging task, as the quality of websites is a complex and multidimensional concept. Along this lines, the objective of this research is to measure the quality of Brazilian real estate websites. For this, this research is structured in for steps: (i) definition of construct referent of websites quality through a systematic literature review; (ii) evaluation of user satisfaction of real estate websites, being able to identify items that users are more and less satisfied; (iii) verification of the perception of real estate managers about the importance of criteria on the real estate website, taking into account the impact of the pandemic, observing whether the perception of the importance of certain items changed after the beginning of the pandemic; e (iv) development of a scale to evaluate Brazilian real estate websites. The results showed that although there are hundreds of dimensions used to measure the quality of websites, they have similarities and can be grouped. Furthermore, the absence of scales to measure quality of websites in the real estate context was evidenced. Thus, supported by the results obtained from the assessment of user satisfaction and the perception of real estate managers, an instrument consisting of 71 items was developed and data was collected from 679 real estate websites. Using the two-parameter compensatory model of Item Response Theory, a three-dimensional scale was development, containing the dimensions: information quality, service quality and system quality. The pioneering research on the theme of quality of real estate websites contributes to the discussion on the subject, contributing to the advancement of the discussion on the quality of websites. In the future, the scale developed can help real estate companies to improve their websites and even be used as a checklist for real estate website development, checking the items that increase the quality of the website
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.
