Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Thursday Murder Club: Launching a megabrand author - a publishing case study
No full textIn 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author
Identificación de marcadores moleculares y celulares que puedan contribuir al pronóstico, diagnóstico y tratamiento de la enfermedad celíaca
No full textFil: Periolo, Natalia. Universidad de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Medicina. Hospital de Clínicas "José de San Martín". Laboratorio de Inmunogenética; Argentina.La Enfermedad Celíaca (EC) es una enteropatía inducida por intolerancia al gluten, en individuos genéticamente susceptibles. Tras la activación de los linfocitos T del intestino delgado en respuesta a la gliadina, se ponen en marcha mecanismos inflamatorios que desregulan el balance entre citoquinas inflamatorias y citoquinas anti-inflamatorias como TGF-β e IL10. El resultado final es un predominio de la respuesta inmune de perfil Th1 mediado principalmente por la producción de INF- γ, y como se evidenció en los últimos años, con participación concomitante de una respuesta de tipo Th17. La gliadina, por otra parte, dispara la producción local de IL-15, que desempeña un papel central en el desencadenamiento de la respuesta inmune innata y adaptativa.
En la presente tesis investigamos una serie de moléculas de activación expresadas en los linfocitos T e indagamos principalmente el papel de CD30 y OX40, dos moléculas coestimulatorias que integran la súperfamilia del receptor de TNF (TNF-R). Evaluamos su modulación por citoquinas así como la capacidad de las subpoblaciones de LT periféricas, positivas para la expresión de dichas moléculas, de producir citoquinas relacionadas con el perfil Th1/Th2. Con el objetivo de comparar el comportamiento de estas moléculas en dos compartimientos diferentes, (periférico y local), como así también en niños y adultos se ha incluido en este estudio, sangre y biopsias de pacientes pediátricos y adultos con sus respectivos controles.
Nuestros resultados demuestran que la modulación de CD30 y OX40 está sujeta a la acción de IL-15 en blastos T, especialmente en pacientes celíacos. Observamos además, que la producción de INF-γ por parte de los blastos CD3+CD30+ es mayor que la producción de IL-4 en pacientes celíacos adultos con respecto a individuos control, y que estos últimos no presentan diferencias en cuanto a la producción de ambas citoquinas. Estos hallazgos nos indicarían que las células CD3+CD30+ periféricas podrían formar parte del proceso inflamatorio instaurado en esta patología, mediante su capacidad para producir INF-γ.
En lo que respecta a las biopsias duodenales, la estimulación con gliadina indujo un aumento en el número de células CD3+ que expresan CD30 en LPLs (Linfocitos de lámina propia) en pacientes celíacos pediátricos, pero no en adultos.
En cuanto a OX40, IL-15 no indujo la expresión de OX40 en blastos T; por el contrario, la expresión de esta molécula disminuyó en respuesta a la incorporación de esta citoquina. No hemos registrado diferencias en cuanto a la expresión de esta molécula ni en LIEs (Linfocitos intraepiteliales) ni LPLs, frente a la estimulación con gliadina en ninguno de los grupo de pacientes estudiados.
Por otro lado, hemos incorporado en este trabajo el estudio prospectivo de pacientes con Enfermedad Celíaca Refractaria (ECR), provenientes de una única institución. En ellos se llevaron a cabo una serie de estudios relacionados con aspectos clínicos, moleculares y celulares con el fin de establecer posibles correlaciones entre esos estudios y la incidencia al desarrollo de un curso más severo de esta enfermedad, como lo es el linfoma T asociado a Enteropatía (EATL). Respecto a los estudios convencionales, moleculares y celulares efectuados en los pacientes con ECR, cabe destacar que no hemos encontrado correlación entre la expresión de CD30 y el desarrollo de EATL, quizás debido al escaso número de pacientes que presentaron características severas de ECR.
En conclusión, en esta tesis se aportan los primeros datos que contribuyen a dilucidar la posible implicancia de CD30 y OX40 en el proceso inflamatorio asociado con la EC.
Futuras investigaciones deberán profundizar la comprensión de sus funciones biológicas a fin de asignar a dichas moléculas un papel concreto como marcadores moleculares asociados a la EC
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.
