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
Critical discourse analysis of forest resources news in national newspapers: The case of Cumhuriyet, Posta and Sabah
Get PDFOrman ekosistemleriyle ilgili haberlere kamuoyunun ilgisi artmış, paralel olarak basın bu konularda yapılan haberlerin sayısını artırmıştır. Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de ormancılık ve orman kaynakları haberlerinin eleştirel söylem analizi yapılmıştır. Bu maksatla, üç ulusal gazetedeki (Cumhuriyet, Posta ve Sabah) ilgili haberler analiz edilmiştir. 2010-2020 yılları arasındaki araştırma konusuyla ilişkili haberler çalışmanın materyalini oluşturmuştur. Çok sayıda orman yangını çıkan 2021 yılının orman yangını haberleri de veri setine dâhil edilmiştir. Haberler Teun A. van Dijk'in eleştirel söylem analizi tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Haberler, ormansızlaşma ve orman tahribatı, orman yangınları, ağaçlandırma ve diğer ormancılık meseleleri olmak üzere dört ana temada toplanmıştır. Eleştirel söylem analizi tekniğiyle; toplam 87 haberde makro ve mikro yapı analiz edilmiştir. Ormancılık ve orman kaynaklarına ilişkin söylemler ve haberlerin sunumu bakımından gazeteler arasında farklılık olduğu ve bu farklılığın gazetelerin ideolojik duruşlarıyla uyumlu olduğu belirlenmiştir. Cumhuriyet, genel olarak hükümete ve özel olarak da ormancılık kurumlarına karşı çok daha eleştirel bir söylemi tercih etmiştir. Posta ve Sabah Gazeteleri'nin, orman kaynakları haberlerinin söylemini neoliberal çerçevenin etkisinde oluşturduğu belirlenmiştir. Orman kaynakları meselelerine ilişkin tartışmaları daha ziyade gazetecilerin yönlendirdiği; uzman görüşlerine, bilimsel kaynaklara ve istatistiklere sınırlı düzeyde başvurulduğu belirlenmiştir. Hem haber söylemlerinin oluşumuna müdahil olmak hem de medyayı ormancılık meseleleri hakkında bilgilendirmek için, ilgili ormancılık kurumlarının halkla ilişkiler ve iletişim kapasitesinin geliştirilmesi önerilmiştir.Public interest in news about forest ecosystems has increased, and concurrently, the press has amplified the coverage of these issues. This study conducted a critical discourse analysis of forestry and forest resources news in Türkiye. The analysis focused on relevant news articles from three national newspapers (Cumhuriyet, Posta, and Sabah) published between 2010 and 2020. Additionally, forest fire news from 2021, a year marked by numerous forest fires, was included in the dataset. The news articles were scrutinized using Teun A. van Dijk's critical discourse analysis technique. The news was categorized into four main themes: deforestation and forest degradation, forest fires, afforestation, and other forestry issues. Through the critical discourse analysis technique, the macro and micro structures of a total of 87 news stories were examined. Variations in discourse and news presentation regarding forestry and forest resources among newspapers were identified, aligning with the newspapers' ideological stances. Cumhuriyet adopted a notably critical discourse towards the government and forestry institutions. On the other hand, Posta and Sabah newspapers framed forest resources news within a neoliberal framework. The discussions on forest resource issues were predominantly journalist-driven, with limited utilization of expert opinions, scientific sources, and statistics. It is recommended to enhance the public relations and communication capabilities of relevant forestry institutions to actively shape news discourses and educate the media on forestry matters
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.
