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
Provisioning and sustaining research workspaces and repositories - progress on ReDBox 2
No full textReDBox 2 is an open source end-to-end integrated research data management platform,
designed around a researcher-centric view of the world, providing useful services that allow
researchers to create and link workspaces, helping to meet their compliance obligations to track
data as well as making research more efficient, by making it easy to move data between
workspaces, including ‘moving’ data by reference.ReDBox was originally seed-funded by the Australian government in 2010 and is now selfsupporting through a subscription based support model offered by QCIF, an Australian
eResearch organization. ReDBox 2 is highly customisable supporting the research data lifecycle
though the following out of the box functionality: ● Data management planning, to allow researchers to plan for and track where data will
be and then where it is, before and during a research project. ● Workspace provisioning. a Workspace is an abstraction which covers such diverse data
management venues as an electronic lab notebook, a project in a git system such as
gitlab, a project in a domain specific repository such as the Omero microscopy repository
software, or a plain-old fileshare. ● Archival descriptions of data and the ability to write data to a range of long-term storage
spaces, including a highly scalable static file-based repository system based on the
emerging “Oxford Common File Layout” standard. ● Data publication integrated with data planning and archiving, with a metadata review
workflow. ● A simple scalable repository for research data that can be hosted on a file-system,
without the API bottlenecks inherent in most repository software. The project was presented at eResearch NZ 2018 as a work in progress. In this presentation we
will demonstrate the first full release of the application, in the form of the UTS Stash system, and
show the integrated end-to-end data management across multiple workspace services and
highlight how it has been received by both researchers and other stakeholders within the
University. NOTE: This presentation is related to another submitted by Peter Sefton on DataCrate packaging
- they could be folded together if necessary/ Upgrading RedBox ReDBox has been in existence for almost 9 years starting out as a simple data management
repository and is the most widely used research data management platform in Australian
Universities. UTS has moved through earlier versions of ReDBox to ReDBox 2. The
presentation will include an overview of the process of upgrading the UTS Stash system and the
obstacles which needed to be overcome in the migration of any system to a new and modern
architecture. Technologies ReDBox is built with modern technologies using an architecture of interconnecting components
which can be swapped in and customised by an institutions based on their requirements. This
allows the expansion of its workspace provisioning by allowing a software developer or
administrator to create workspace provisioner plugins. The presentation will provide a brief
overview of how this approach provides a flexible approach to the new generation of data
repositories more suited to the business needs of the institution and minimising extraneous data
entry. ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S)Peter Sefton Mike Lynch is an eResearch Analyst in the eResearch Support Group at UTS. His work
involves solution design, information architecture and software development supporting
research data management. His other interests include data visualisation and functional

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
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.
