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
Bases metodológicas para la incorporación de análisis geoespaciales y perspectivas sociodemográficas en proyectos de educación
Get PDFThe project Socio-territorial diagnosis and survey of school infrastructure in public schools of the Dominican Republic aims to design, collect, and analyze georeferenced databases to generate thematic cartography in various educational districts of the country. The main objective is to integrate cartographic information from various sources and alphanumeric databases with educational variables and indicators. It also focuses on identifying and understanding external factors to school infrastructure that could be associated with student learning. The project involves the collection of detailed demographic and geographic data, the georeferenced survey of schools, the analysis of school infrastructure conditions, and the implementation of participatory processes with educational and local communities. The maps created from the integration of all these data highlight the distribution of educational infrastructure, the ease of access to basic services, and the socioeconomic conditions of nearby areas, among other factors. These resources are crucial for identifying inequalities and opportunities that exist in various areas of the country. The findings include relevant descriptive statistics about variables such as school infrastructure, accessibility, risk and vulnerability conditions, and the socioeconomic conditions of students. The project’s conclusions emphasize that geospatial analysis and community participation are essential for contextualized decision-making. These techniques allow for the precise identification of needs and priority areas for interventions that improve educational quality and for the design of more equitable and effective public policies.El proyecto Diagnóstico Socio-territorial y levantamiento de infraestructura escolar en centros educativos públicos de República Dominicana busca diseñar, recopilar y analizar bases de datos georreferenciadas que generen cartografía temática en distintos distritos educativos del país. El objetivo principal del proyecto es integrar la información cartográfica procedente de diversas fuentes y bases de datos alfanuméricos con las variables e indicadores educativos. También, se enfoca en identificar y entender factores externos a la infraestructura escolar que podrían estar asociados a los aprendizajes de los estudiantes. El proyecto abarca la recopilación de datos demográficos y geográficos detallados, el levantamiento georreferenciado de centros educativos, el análisis de las condiciones de infraestructura escolar y la implementación de procesos participativos con las comunidades educativas y locales. Los mapas creados a partir de la integración de todos estos datos resaltan la distribución de la infraestructura educativa, la facilidad de acceso a los servicios básicos y las condiciones socioeconómicas de las zonas cercanas, entre otros factores. Estos recursos son cruciales para identificar desigualdades y oportunidades que existen en diversas áreas del país. Los hallazgos incluyen estadísticas descriptivas relevantes acerca de variables como infraestructura escolar, accesibilidad, condiciones de riesgos y vulnerabilidad, y las condiciones socioeconómicas de los estudiantes. Las conclusiones del proyecto destacan que el análisis geoespacial y la participación comunitaria son esenciales para la toma de decisiones contextualizadas. Estas técnicas permiten identificar de manera precisa las necesidades y áreas prioritarias para intervenciones que mejoren la calidad educativa y para el diseño de políticas públicas más equitativas y efectivas

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.
