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
Avtal om ideella rättigheter - En komparativ studie av upphovsmäns ställning i Sverige och USA
No full textThe legislation on authors’ moral rights to attribution and integrity in Sweden and USA differ to a large extent. In Sweden moral rights are a part of the copyright law and reside in every work that qualifies for copyright protection. Moral rights cannot be transferred, but can only be waived in regard to a use of the work that is limited to form and extent to be legally binding. The guiding principle for the evaluation if a waiver is sufficiently limited is if the author is able to overlook the consequences of his waiver. The waiver must specify the work and the use to which the waiver aims. Contracts amounting to a general transfer of the copyright are therefore not considered to implicate a waiver. In the US, the federal moral rights prescribed in the Visual Artists Rights Act only benefit artists of visual art. These rights to integrity and attribution only apply to the first two hundred copies of the visual artwork, numbered and signed by the author. These moral rights cannot be transferred but they can be waived by the author in a written document for a use that is sufficiently specified. Authors other than visual artists have to find other legal sources to impose a duty for the acquirer of the work to identify the author with his work and to abstain from making changes to the work. In case law, authors have based rights similar to moral rights on rules of unfair competition and contracts. These rights depend on the wording in the contract with the acquirer and on other surrounding circumstances. Where the contract contains an unlimited transfer which gives the acquirer a right to use the work in any manner he wishes the author is considered to have given up all rights to the work and can no longer object to uses of the work where he is not credited as the author or where the work is subject to far-reaching changes The disparities between the two countries’ legislation mean that the wording in a contract might amount to a valid waiver in one of the countries while it is not valid in the other. In the US contracts of copyright are often required to be in written form while the acquisition can be unlimited. General transfers of copyrights without explicit limitations will often be considered to transfer all rights to the work to the acquirer. In Sweden there are no formal requirements for contracts of copyright transfers, however the moral rights can only be waived for a use that is sufficiently limited and general formulated transfer of copyright are presumed not to be total. International businesses that enter into contracts with authors about moral rights should therefore take these disparities into consideration when drafting the contract.Lagstiftningen om de ideella rättigheterna namngivelserätten och respekträtten skiljer sig mycket åt mellan Sverige och USA. I Sverige är dessa rättigheter en del av upphovsrätten och tillkommer alla verk som uppfyller kravet på verkshöjd. De ideella rättigheterna kan inte överlåtas utan kan enbart efterges med en bindande verkan till ett användande som är begränsat i art och omfattning. Ledstjärnan i bedömningen om en eftergift är begränsad är att upphovsmannen ska kunna överblicka konsekvenserna av eftergiften. En eftergift måste specificera verket och det användande som eftergiften syftar till för att vara giltig. Avtal som innebär en allmän överlåtelse av upphovsrätten anses därmed inte innebära någon eftergift. I USA erhåller enbart visuella konstnärer de federala ideella rättigheterna som är lagstadgade i Visual Artists Right Act. Denna respekträtt och namngivelserätt omfattar enbart de två hundra första exemplaren av ett visuellt konstverk som är numrerade och signerade av upphovsmannen. Dessa ideella rättigheter kan upphovsmannen inte överlåta, men de kan efterges skriftligen till ett användande som är tillräckligt specificerat. Övriga upphovsmän får grunda en skyldighet för förvärvaren av upphovsrätten till ett verk att namnge upphovsmannen och att inte företa ändringar i verket på andra grunder. I praxis har upphovsmän grundat rättigheter som liknar de ideella rättigheterna på konkurrensrättsliga och avtalsrättsliga grunder. Dessa rättigheter beror till stor del på formuleringarna i avtalen med förvärvare och på andra omkringliggande omständigheter. När avtalet innehåller en obegränsad överlåtelse som ger förvärvaren rätt att använda verket på vilket sätt han behagar så anses upphovsmannen ha skilt sig från alla rättigheter till verket och kan inte motsätta sig ett användande utan namngivelse eller med långtgående ändringar. Skillnaderna mellan länderna innebär att en formulering i ett avtal kan innebära att en eftergift av en upphovsman är giltig i det ena landet men inte i det andra. I USA krävs ofta att avtal om förvärv av upphovsrätt är i skriftlig form för att vara giltiga medan förvärvet kan vara obegränsat. Generella överlåtelser utan uttryckliga undantag anses ofta innebära att förvärvaren erhåller alla rättigheter till verket. I Sverige finns inga formkrav för avtal om förvärv av upphovsrätter. Däremot måste eftergifter av ideella rättigheter vara tillräckligt begränsade för att vara giltiga och generellt formulerade överlåtelser av upphovsrätten till ett verk presumeras inte vara totala. Internationella företag som tecknar avtal om upphovsrätt med upphovsmän som vill undvika problem med att upphovsmannen motsätter sig det planerade användandet av verket i efterhand bör därför beakta dessa skillnader när de utformar avtalet
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.
