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

Clarice e o silêncio : a linguagem em A paixão segundo G.H.
Get PDFO trabalho visa analisar a linguagem em A paixão segundo G.H.
(1964), de Clarice Lispector, tendo por estofo teórico- crítico o conceito de
místico em Ludwig Wittgenstein, e também o conceito de arquivo de Jacques
Derrida. O místico tal como Wittgenstein entendia é o aparecer do que se
mostra, o indizível. O filósofo chamou místico, ao mostrar que há, na
linguagem, algo que é indizível – o silêncio. Sua defesa seria que o místico
pode ser mostrado, porém não possa ser dito, expresso via linguagem. No
romance de Lispector, a protagonista G.H., dado seu entendimento sobre a
limitação da linguagem, tenta reproduzir a conquista do originário, a perda da
identidade. A recapitulação que a protagonista faz do que lhe aconteceu é o
exercício de linguagem de tocar no ponto que não é tocável: de arquivar a
experiência. Derrida, em Mal de Arquivo: uma impressão freudiana, escreve
que não há arquivo sem mal de arquivo, para o autor, mal de arquivo – desejo
de lembrar a origem- deriva do esquecimento/memória. Para Derrida “estar
com o mal de arquivo é sofrer de um mal. É arder de paixão, é
incessantemente procurar o arquivo onde ele se esconde”. Em A paixão
segundo G.H, o termo de Derrida se aproxima da falência da narradora, a falha
de sua construção é comparável ao mal de arquivo porque designa a paixão da
procura do arquivo onde ele se esconde, representado pela experiência mística
de GH. Em tal estudo dar-se-á atenção, sobretudo, para a questão do silêncio
como um traço diferenciador da linguagem empregada no livro. Além de
Ludwig Wittgenstein e Jaques Derrida, outro filósofo e estudioso da obra
clariciana embasará nossa discussão, Benedito Nunes, principalmente com os
livros O dorso do tigre (1976), O drama da linguagem: uma leitura de Clarice
Lispector (1995) e também a Edição Crítica do romance A paixão segundo
G.H. (1988) organizada pelo crítico.ABSTRACT - This study aims at examining the language in The Passion
According to GH (1964), Clarice Lispector, with the theoretical-critical mystical
concept of Ludwig Wittgenstein, and also Jacques Derrida’s concept of archive.
The mystic as Wittgenstein understood is the visible of what is shown, the
unspeakable. The philosopher called mystical showing that there is in the
language something that is unspeakable - the silence. He claimed that the
mystic can be shown, but can not be said and expressed by language. In
Lispector's novel, the protagonist GH, given her understanding of the language
limitation, tries to reproduce the conquest of the origin, the identity loss. The
recapitulation made by protagonist turns what happened to her into a language
exercise of touching what is untouchable: archiving the experience. Derrida, in
Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression, writes that there is no archive without
archive fever, which is to the author, the desire of remembering the origin –
derivative from oblivion/memory. For Derrida "to be with archive fever is
suffering from a disease. Burning with passion, constantly looking for the
archive where it is hidden". In The Passion According to GH, Derrida's term
gets closer to the bankruptcy of the narrator, the failure of her construction is
comparable to the archive fever due to the fact that it indicates the passion of
searching the hidden archive, represented by the mystical experience of GH. In
such a study it is given special attention to the question of silence as a
differentiating feature of the language used in the book. In addition to Ludwig
Wittgenstein and Jacques Derrida, another philosopher and researcher of
Clarice’s underlie the basis for our discussion, Benedito Nunes, especially with
the books O Dorso do Tigre (1976), O drama da linguagem: uma leitura de
Clarice Lispector (1995) and also Edição Crítica of the novel The Passion
According to GH (1988) organized by the critic
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.
