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
Produção de documentação para a preservação de património expositivo. Da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian às Galerias Municipais: O Percurso de Pedro Morais
No full textSituada no campo da Conservação de Arte Contemporânea, esta investigação centra-se na preservação da obra de Pedro Morais, geralmente descrita como anulada ou efémera. Destacado professor na Escola Artística António Arroio, artista intencionalmente marginal aos circuitos comerciais, a obra de Morais mantém-se pouco conhecida, em parte pela escassa representação em colecções, a que acresce a natureza desmaterializada da sua obra. O exaustivo levantamento, inscrição historiográfica e enquadramento crítico do seu trabalho, são aqui entendidos como passo imprescindível para discutir: O que conservar? E como conservar? Defende-se que o resgate da invisibilidade historiográfica potencia directamente o conhecimento, a exposição e o acesso, como formas de preservação. Sobre esse esteio constrói-se um conjunto de questões éticas e práticas que a continuidade da obra de Morais levanta. Que futuro concebia Pedro Morais para a sua obra? Podem todas as obras de Morais conhecer novas activações? Quem assume a responsabilidade na ausência do artista? Quem são os agentes-chave neste processo?
Focando o estudo em obras que se enquadram no campo da instalação, esta tese aborda a vida material de obras complexas que necessitam de intervenção externa para serem exibidas, desdobrando-se no tempo, com variações. Ancorada na largamente difundida noção de rede proposta por Bruno Latour, destaca-se a exposição como momento metodológico privilegiado, onde se reúne um conjunto de agentes que importa identificar, seguir e descrever. Fazer obras, noção cunhada por Vivian van Saaze, assume neste contexto um lugar basilar e resume a necessidade de intervenção que o papel do conservador de arte contemporânea actualmente acarreta. Mapeando e articulando os rastos materiais preservado em arquivos, museus e no espólio dos herdeiros, reflecte-se sobre como podem as instituições que preservam a obra de Morais assegurar a persistência da sua obra. Potenciando o legado material de Morais, foram adoptadas ferramentas de trabalho etnográfico, materializando e conservando também a experiência de indivíduos que detêm relevantes memórias orais e conhecimento corporal, tácito e afectivo, fundamental para a activação de obras que podem oscilar entre o estado dormente, em arquivos ou reservas museológicas, e diversas formas de actualização. Assumindo um posicionamento complementar entre teoria e prática, argumenta-se que a regular exposição das obras de Pedro Morais, associada à activa produção de documentação, nomeadamente dossiers de montagem, constitui a mais eficaz ferramenta para desenvolver soluções de preservação adaptadas aos desafios colocados pela produção do artista. Defende-se que tanto a inscrição da sua obra, como a contínua activação expositiva do seu trabalho, são momentos de transmissão, actualização e num quadro deleuziano, de diferença que contribuem para a conservação e futuro do seu legado.Positioned in the field of Conservation of Contemporary Art, this investigation addresses the preservation of Pedro Morais work, generally described as annulled or ephemeral. As a distinguished professor at the António Arroio Art School, and an artist intentionally marginal to commercial circuits, Morais' work remains mainly unknown, in part due to the scarce representation in collections, increased by the dematerialized nature of his work. The exhaustive survey, historiographic inscription and critical framing of his work are understood here as an essential step to discuss: What to conserve? And how to conserve? As argued, retrieval from historiographical invisibility directly enhances knowledge, exhibition, and access, as forms of preservation. On this basis a set of ethical and practical questions are built, regarding the continuity of Morais' work. What future did Pedro Morais conceive for his work? Can all of Morais' works experience new activations? Who holds responsibility in the artist's absence? Who are the key actors in this process?
Focusing on works that fall within the field of installation, this thesis addresses the material life of complex works that require external intervention to be displayed, unfolding over time, with variations. Anchored in the widely disseminated notion of network proposed by Bruno Latour, the exhibition stands out as a privileged methodological moment, gathering a group of agents that can be identify, followed, and described. Doing artworks, a notion coined by Vivian van Saaze, assumes a fundamental role in this context and summarizes the need for intervention which the role of the contemporary art conservator currently entails. By mapping and articulating the material traces preserved in archives, museums and in the estate of the heirs, questions are raised on how institutions can ensure the persistence of the artist’s work. Enhancing the material legacy of Morais, ethnographic work tools were adopted in order to materialize and conserve the experience of individuals who hold relevant oral memories and embodied, tacit and affective knowledge, fundamental for the activation of works that can oscillate between a dormant state, in archives or museum reserves, and various forms of actualization. Assuming a complementary position between theory and practice, it is argued that a regular exhibition of Pedro Morais' works, associated with the active production of documentation, namely assembly files, constitutes the most effective tool to develop preservation solutions adapted to the challenges posed by the artist's production. It is argued that both historiographical inscription and the continuous exhibition activation of his work are moments of transmission, actualization and in a Deleuzian framework, of difference that contribute to the conservation and future of Morais legacy
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.
