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

Дослідження діяльності організацій професійного фармацевтичного самоврядування за кордоном: uk.
Get PDFAim. To study the international experience of the activities of professional pharmaceutical self-government organizations (OPFS) on the issues of professional protection of pharmacy specialists (PS) and the possibility of its use in Ukraine.
Materials and methods. During the research, a comparative analysis of the OPFS activities, data from official sites, scientific literature were used.
Results. It has been found that abroad the state creates legal regulation of the OPFS activities. It is the state that takes responsibility for the activities of the pharmaceutical industry and for the list of powers for OPFS in all areas of its activities. In Ukraine, professional associations are involved in the implementation of these issues, but the lack of regulation of their relations with the governing bodies complicates their implementation. Over the past years, the foundations of the formation and functioning of OPFS, the relationship not only with the management bodies, but also with individual specialists (individuals and legal entities) have been studied. In modern conditions, each association chooses its own directions of its implementation independently since there is no clear distribution of powers.
Сonclusions. According to the results of the foreign experience studies, it has been found that the main task of OPFS is to protect the rights and interests of PS, provide legal and economic advice, support the continuous professional development of PS, consider the issues of professional ethics, promote and increase the role of pharmacists in the healthcare sector, etc. These studies can be used to regulate the activities of OPFS.
Key words: professional pharmaceutical self-government organizations; pharmacy specialists; pharmaceutical institutions; professional activitiesЦель: изучение международного опыта деятельности организаций профессионального фармацевтического самоуправления (ОПФС) по вопросам профессиональной защиты специалистов фармации (СФ) и возможности его использования в условиях Украины.
Материалы и методы: сравнительный анализ деятельности ОПФС, данные официальных сайтов, научной литературы.
Результаты исследований. Установлено, что за рубежом государство создает нормативно-правовое регулирование деятельности ОПФС. Именно государство берет на себя ответственность за деятельность фармацевтической отрасли и за перечень полномочий для ОПФС по всем направлениям ее деятельности. В Украине профессиональные ассоциации приобщаются к выполнению этих вопросов, но отсутствие урегулирования отношений с органами управления затрудняет их выполнения. На протяжении последних лет изучаются основы формирования и функционирования ОПФС, взаимоотношений не только с органами управления, а и с отдельными специалистами (физическими и юридическими лицами). В современных условиях каждая ассоциация выбирает самостоятельно свои направления его выполнения, поскольку нет четкого распределения полномочий.
Выводы. По результатам исследований зарубежного опыта установлено, что основной задачей ОПФС является защита прав и интересов СФ, предоставление юридических и экономических консультаций, поддержка непрерывного профессионального развития СФ, вопросы профессиональной этики, пропаганда и повышение роли фармацевтов в сфере здравоохранения и тому подобное. Такие исследования могут быть использованы для урегулирования деятельности ОПФС.
Ключевые слова: организации профессионального фармацевтического самоуправления; специалисты фармации; фармацевтические учреждения; профессиональная деятельность.Мета: вивчення міжнародного досвіду діяльності організацій професійного фармацевтичного самоврядування (ОПФС) з питань професійного захисту спеціалістів фармації (СФ) та можливості його використання в умовах України.
Матеріали та методи: порівняльний аналіз діяльності ОПФС, дані офіційних сайтів і наукової літератури.
Результати досліджень. Установлено, що за кордоном держава створює нормативно-правове регулювання діяльності ОПФС. Саме держава бере на себе відповідальність за діяльність фармацевтичної галузі та перелік повноважень для ОПФС за усіма напрямками її діяльності. В Україні професійні асоціації долучаються до виконання цих питань, але відсутність урегулювання відносин з органами управління ускладнює їх виконання. На протязі останніх років вивчаються засади формування і функціонування ОПФС, взаємовідносин не тільки з органами управління, а й з окремими спеціалістами (фізичними і юридичними особами). На сьогодні кожна асоціація обирає самостійно свої напрямки його виконання, оскільки немає чіткого розподілу повноважень.
Висновки. За результатами досліджень закордонного досвіду встановлено, що основним завданням ОПФС є захист прав та інтересів СФ, надання юридичних та економічних консультацій, підтримка безперервного професійного розвитку СФ, питання професійної етики, пропагування та підвищення ролі фармацевтів у сфері охорони здоров’я тощо. Такі дослідження можуть бути використані для врегулювання діяльності ОПФС.

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.
