Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
L'enigma di Eurosky
No full textla collana editoriale “architettura enigmatica” si occupa di individuare e svelare aspetti comunicativi e
prestazionali – funzioni seconde e funzioni prime – non del tutto apparenti in quelle opere di architettura nelle
quali coesistono in modo indissolubile, andando ad analizzare non solo il risultato finale ma anche il percorso
creativo che ne ha generato la realizzazione.
il metodo è quello dell’ipotesi-tesi, che può venire o meno avvalorata e che nei casi in dubbio è considerata
degna di condivisione e dibattito.
non interessa qui compiere né lusinghieri elogi né stroncature dell’opera in esame, ma ipotizzare che
l’architettura selezionata sia come un paziente che si presta di buon grado a un consulto medico e/o a un
intervento sul tavolo operatorio. ma tale metafora può chiamare in causa altre discipline, prima tra tutte la
psicologia, dato che ci interessa comprendere il più possibile quali sono le tensioni presenti nell’universo
creativo dei progettisti che hanno concepito l’opera.
la scaturigine del progetto e lo stormo delle sue idee primigenie sono qui investigate tramite ipotesi aperte,
con calviniana – ma talvolta anche kunderiana – leggerezza, una qualità che non esclude mai il contraddittorio.
Così come nella Casa del girasole, anche nell’eurosky la leggerezza, come sopra intesa, è una qualità
dell’architettura che si vuole far riconoscere e che lotta per tale scopo: nel primo caso taglia – in un periodo
coevo a fontana – la solidissima massa rocciosa del volume della palazzina di viale bruno buozzi e anticipa “la
dolce vita” felliniana; nel secondo caso dà luogo a un colossale trilite di una stonehenge euratica sul quale
spuntano in copertura le fragili ali del suo opposto: le pagine di un libro di cui tale dolmen si fa immenso ambone.The editorial series “Enigmatic Architecture” is interested in identifying and unveil aspects of
communication and functional performance – second and first functions – not entirely apparent in those
works of architecture in which they coexist in an indissoluble way, not only in the final result but also in the
creative itinerary that led to the act of their creation.
The method is the one of hypothesis-thesis, which can be corroborated or not, and that in presence of
doubt is considered worthy of sharing and discussion.
There is no interest here in making flattering praises nor slating of the analized work, but to assume that
the selected piece of architecture is like a patient who, willingly, lends to a medical consultation and/or to
an intervention on the surgical table.
But this metaphor can be extended to other disciplines, first of all psychology, as we are interested to
understand as much as possible which are the tensions in the creative universe of the designers who
conceived the work.
The wellspring of the project, i.e. the covey of primitive ideas, are here investigated by open hypotheses,
non-opinionated, with Calvinian – but sometimes also Kunderian – lightness, a quality that never excludes
the cross-examination.
As well as in the “Sunflower”, also in Eurosky the lightness, as above intended, is an architectural quality
that aims at being recognized and that struggles for this purpose: in the first case it cuts – in a period coeval
to Fontana – the solid rocky-mass of the volume of the palazzina in viale Bruno Buozzi in Rome and
anticipates the Fellinean “Dolce Vita”; in the second case it gives rise to a colossal trilith of a Stonehenge
in the E.U.R. district on whose roof sprout the fragile wings of its opposite: the pages of a book of which this
dolmen becomes an immense pulpit
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.
