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
Caracterização geofísica da cobertura detrito-laterítica em São Gabriel do Oeste, MS
No full textThis present research details detritus-lateritic coverage (TQdl) existing in the area of São Gabriel do Oeste plateau, Mato Grosso do Sul estate in the Chapadão area of São Gabriel do Oeste-MS, of fundamental economic importance for agriculture in the region, highlighting the associated lateritic cangas, widely used in the primary coating of more than 3000 km of municipal highways. In addition, it seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the GPR geophysical method in lateritic cangas identification in the subsurface and in the detection of the lithological contacts of this formation with the underlying layers, with the generation of an isopach map. Focusing on the continuity of Serra Geral formation in the study area, obtaining the respective isopach map. Complementarily, a preliminary characterization of the aquifer related to the TQdl coverage, not yet individualized, was carried out. To achieve these objectives, the methodology used was to obtain primary data with the GPR, combined with existing geological and geophysical data on the area, which were reprocessed and reinterpreted, mainly from a report by the National Water and Sanitation Agency (2014), brazilian public entity. The hydrogeological information was obtained from the IMASUL database, the ambiental estate entity. As final results, is presented the feasibility of using GPR in the subsurface identification of lateritic cangas, in addition to the thickness definition of detritus-lateritic coverage, with definition of its contact with the other underlying formations; definition of the distribution and thickness of basalts the Serra Geral formation in the area and the definition of the potentiometric map of the aquifer represented by the TQdl coverage. The NNW-SSE geological profile was generated, seeking a better understanding of the geological-structural framework of the study area, where the TQdl coverage rests on the Bauru Group, about Serra Geral formation, on Botucatu formation, about Estrada Nova formations and over Aquidauana formation.A caracterização geofísica da cobertura detrito-laterítica (TQdl) existente na área do Chapadão de São Gabriel do Oeste-MS, de fundamental importância econômica para a agricultura da região, foi objeto de estudo deste trabalho, destacando-se as cangas lateríticas associadas, amplamente utilizadas no revestimento primário dos mais de 3000 km de rodovias municipais. Buscou-se avaliar a eficácia do método geofísico GPR na identificação das cangas lateríticas em subsuperfície e na detecção dos contatos litológicos do TQdl com as camadas subjacentes. Foi dado um enfoque na verificação da continuidade da Formação Serra Geral na área de estudos, com obtenção do mapa de isoespessuras. Complementarmente, foi efetuada uma caracterização preliminar do aquífero relacionado à cobertura TQdl, ainda não individualizada. Para alcançar tais objetivos, usou-se como metodologia a obtenção de dados primários com o GPR, combinados com dados geológicos e geofísicos, já existentes sobre a área, que foram reprocessados e reinterpretados. As informações hidrogeológicas foram obtidas a partir da base de dados do IMASUL. Como resultados finais, são apresentadas: a viabilidade de emprego do GPR na identificação em subsuperfície das cangas lateríticas; a espessura da Cobertura detrito-laterítica, com definição do seu contato com as outras formações subjacentes; a definição da distribuição e da espessura dos basaltos da Fm. Serra Geral na área e a definição do mapa potenciométrico do aquífero representado pela cobertura TQdl. Adicionalmente, obteve-se o perfil geológico NNW-SSE, buscando o melhor entendimento do arcabouço geológico-estrutural da região, o qual sintetiza a interpretação das relações estratigráficas, na área de estudo, entre as rochas do Gr. Bauru, da Fm. Serra Geral, da Fm. Botucatu, da Fm. Estrada Nova e da Fm. Aquidauana
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

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.
