    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    Interpretasi data seismik memiliki berbagai macam metode yang dapat digunakan sesuai dengan tujuannya masing-masing. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan metode scoring anomali amplitude versus angle (AVA) dalam mengidentifikasi zona prospek hidrokarbon dengan dua tahap screening yaitu screening DHI pada model amplitude full-angle stack dan screening anomali AVA. Anomali AVA didapatkan dari analisis AVA yang menggunakan respon amplitudo terhadap perubahan sudut pada data seismik yang berasosiasi dengan kehadiran fluida hidrokarbon pada reservoir. Metode scorinng dilakukan pada empat jenis data, yaitu data peta full-stack, data seismic section, data peta AVA pada lima sub-stack, dan data seismik gather. Penelitian ini dilakukan di lapangan “R” shallow zone, Kalimantan Timur dengan target reservoir dari zona very shallow hingga zona upper. Data yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu data Seismik 3D Pre-Stack depth Migration terkoreksi, data sumur yang dilengkapi dengan data checkshot dan marker sekuen stratigrafi, serta hasil analisis AVA pada lapangan “R” shallow zone. Hasil dari penelitian ini yaitu terdapat 164 anomali dengan jumlah kategori low confidence sejumlah 44 anomali, kategori mid confidence sejumlah 92 anomali, dan kategori high confidence sejumlah 28 anomali. Berdasarkan korelasi anomali dengan data sumur, zona yang memiliki prospek hidrokarbon yaitu pada area crestal dengan presentase hidrokarbon pada kategori high confidence, mid confidence, dan low confidence masing-masing 100%, 86%, 100% dengan kategori yang memiliki presentase hidrokarbon tertinggi pada lapangan “R” shallow zone yaitu kategori high confidence dengan presentase 80%. Oleh karena itu, anomali-anomali yang terdapat pada zona prospek hidrokarbon yaitu anomali 0-2 C, 1-4 B, 1-11 C, 1-12 E, 2-5 C, 3-1 C, 3-5 B, 4-1 C. ===================================================================================================== Seismic data interpretation has various methods that can be used according to their respective objectives. In this study, the amplitude versus angle (AVA) anomaly scoring method was used to identify the hydrocarbon prospect zone with two screening stages: DHI screening on the full-angle stack amplitude model and AVA anomaly screening. The AVA anomaly was obtained from the AVA analysis using the amplitude response to changes in the angle of the seismic data associated with the presence of hydrocarbon fluids in the reservoir. The scoring method was carried out on four types of data, namely full-stack map data, seismic section data, AVA map data on five sub-stacks, and seismic gather data. This research was conducted in the “R” shallow zone field, East Kalimantan with a reservoir target from the very shallow zone to the upper zone. The data used in this study are corrected 3D Pre-Stack Depth Migration Seismic data, well data equipped with checkshot data and stratigraphic sequence markers, and the results of AVA analysis in the "R" shallow zone field. The results of this study are 164 anomalies with a total of 44 anomalies in the low confidence category, in the mid confidence category with 92 anomalies, and the high confidence category with 28 anomalies. Based on the correlation of anomalies with the well data, the zone that has hydrocarbon prospects is in the crestal area with the percentage of hydrocarbons in the high confidence, mid confidence, and low confidence categories of 100%, 86%, 100%, respectively, with the category having the highest percentage of hydrocarbons in the “R” shallow zone field is a category of high confidence with a percentage of 80%. Therefore, the anomalies found in the hydrocarbon prospect zone are 0-2 C, 1-4 B, 1-11 C, 1-12 E, 2-5 C, 3-1 C, 3-5 B, 4-1 C

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
