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
Reheating Quenching And Partitioning Microstructures To Modify Phase Fractions
No full textAbstractThe Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) process starts with an austenitization process followed by rapid cooling to a temperature named quenching temperature ranged between the martensite start (Ms) and martensite finish (Mf) temperatures to establish initial fractions of martensite and austenite. Afterwards, the material is reheated to a particular partitioning temperature and for a given time to allow the carbon diffusion from martensite to austenite. Finally, the steel is quenched to room temperature and a fraction of fresh untempered martensite may form from the least stable austenite. The whole process determines the phase fraction of the constituent phases, namely: tempered martensite (M1), retained austenite, and un-tempered martensite (M2). This combination of phases has the potential to simultaneously improve strength and elongation of steels due to their small grain sizes and the transformation-induced plasticity resulting of the transformation of the retained austenite into martensite during a deformation. It is known that the fraction of retained austenite of Q&P steels depends on the quenching temperature, showing a bell-like relation. The volume fraction of retained austenite shows a maximum at a particular quenching temperature somewhat intermediate between the Ms and Mf temperatures, known as the optimum quenching temperature, below and upper which the volume fraction of retained austenite decreases in either way. Recently, it is reported [1] that retained austenite fraction after reheating up to 700oC followed by quench losses its dependency of quenching temperature and reaches a constant value. This can be a manner to further control phase fractions and consequently the mechanical properties of Q&P steels. The mechanisms by which the volume fraction of austenite changes to reach that constant value are not well understood and are the focus of the present study. In the present work, Q&P samples with chemical composition 0.31C-4.58Mn-1.52Si (wt.%) were reheated up to 700oC and quenched directly to compare the retained austenite fractions of reheated and un-reheated (Q&P) samples. It was found that the retained austenite fractions tend to have a constant value after reheating to 700oC followed by quenching, whereas the retained austenite fraction of the Q&P samples showed an optimum value and usual dependency with quenching temperature. It was also observed that the highest and lowest drop of retained austenite occurred in the reheated Q&P samples at 160oC and 80oC of quenching temperature. These samples were reheated to 900oC to have a complete observation of microstructural events by means of dilatometry, optical and electron scanning microscopy, hardness, and X-Ray diffraction measurement. Interrupted reheating was applied to understand the microstructural changes during reheating. The two samples were interruptedly reheated and directly quenched at 450oC, 530oC, 610oC, 720oC, and 740oC to measure the retained austenite fraction and to capture the corresponding microstructure around the observed changes in slope. The retained austenite fractions evolution of both samples were measured and compared. It was found that the decreasing of retained austenite fraction started around the critical temperature of 600oC and remained up to 700oC of reheating temperature. Further reheating process increased the retained austenite fraction. In the specimen showing the lowest drop of retained austenite fraction, retained austenite decomposed by two mechanisms. The first one was the formation of discrete particles of cementite, which originally came from film type austenite. The second was the formation of globular carbides within tempered martensite. On the other hand, river-like patterns were observed surrounding the martensite region. The river-like patterns mainly consist of martensite from new austenite that formed between 720oC and 750oC.In the highest drop of retained austenite fraction sample, retained austenite decomposed by three mechanisms. The first two mechanisms were similar to the previous sample. The last mechanism was the formation of substructure within Martensite-Austenite islands. River-like patterns were also observed surrounding the martensite region, consisting of martensite which originally came from new austenite as a product of (martensite and) carbide transformation that formed between 720oC and 745C and lath martensite which originally came from the unstable austenite forming upon reheating to 740oC.Materials Science and Engineerin

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.
