    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

    Full text link
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    Entrepreneurs Speech and Stock Price Related Research-A Case Study of Morris Chang

    本論文旨在探討國內重要企業家的公開言論是否會對股價產生影響力,並藉此實證所謂的影響力之真實性如何,是否具有產生實際影響的效力,還是影響力僅只是存在於無形的抽象概念中人們的想像。 本論文的研究對象為臺灣積體電路製造股份有限公司(TSMC)董事長張忠謀(Morris Chang),並透過聯合知識庫(United Knowledge Base)電子資源中有關之新聞報導資料,結合台積電股價變動、法人買賣超與融資買賣的情形,逐一考察言論與股價之關連,研究的時間範圍為1994年至2010年。 經由本論文所得出的成果,呈現出來的面貌是張忠謀之言論對於台積電股價變動並無顯著之影響現象。對於外資、投信與自營商的買賣台積電股票的態度影響不顯著。而對於散戶族群不僅影響不顯著,反而呈現言論發表後散戶就賣出的現象。The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of the public remarks by the important domestic entrepreneurs. Through the empirical research, we can test the influence of the public remarks is effective or it is just the imagination of people. The object of this thesis focuses on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. chairman Morris Chang. The research period is during 1994-2010. By using the United Knowledge Base’ data: electronic resources relating to news reports, TSMC price changes, and legal trading ultra-financing trading case, I will examine the relation between the speech and the price. Conclusions drawn from this research include three points: 1.The remarks of Morris Chang are ineffective to TSMC shares changes. 2.The remarks are also ineffective to the investment strategy of the foreign investment, the Securities Investment Trust and the dealers. 3.Even the retail investor sales of holdings after the remarks published.摘要 i Abstract ii 第一章 緒論 1 第一節 研究動機與目的 1 第二節 研究方法與架構 3 第三節 研究限制 6 第四節 文獻回顧 7 第二章 研究對象背景分析 12 第一節 張忠謀的影響力分析 12 第二節 台積電的影響力分析 20 第三節 股市多空背景分析 31 第三章 言論刊載日與股價關連分析 46 第一節 媒體刊載言論分析 46 第二節 言論發表之動機與時機及其影響力分析 58 第三節 言論刊載日與個別交易日股價變動分析 80 第四節 言論刊載日與股價變動效益分析 89 第五節 言論刊載日與股價變動延續力分析 97 第四章 言論刊載與台積電籌碼流動分析 104 第一節 言論刊載與外資籌碼流動分析 104 第二節 言論刊載與投信籌碼流動分析 116 第三節 言論刊載與自營商籌碼流動分析 128 第四節 言論刊載與融資買賣分析 139 第五章 結論 152 參考書目 16

    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.
