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
Living in Quarter11 :: Vertical extension – area upgrading
Full text linkWien ist, wie viele Großstädte weltweit, mit einem enormen Zuzug an Menschen konfrontiert und einer daraus resultierenden Wohnungsknappheit. Um den Menschen ein Zuhause bieten zu können, beschäftigt sich die Stadt Wien einerseits mit der Erweiterung des Stadtgebietes und verlagert die Wohnraumplanung an den Stadtrand, andererseits gibt es die Tendenz, auf Bestandsgebäude aufzustocken und somit vertikal zu verdichten. Am Beginn dieser Arbeit fand eine Entwurfsübung statt, bei der ein Wohnbau aus dem Jahr 1969/1970 in Holzhybridbauweise aufgestockt wurde. Entwickelt wurde der Entwurf in einem Team bestehend aus zwei Architekturstudenten und einem Bauingenieurstudent. Diese Entwurfsübung wurde von „proholz austria“ ausgeschrieben, wo zu diesem Thema ein Wettbewerb stattfand, bei dem auch dieser Entwurf eingereicht worden ist. Im Zuge der Diplomarbeit wurde an der ursprünglichen Entwurfsarbeit weitergearbeitet, sodass es zu Änderungen in der Aufstockung kam. Nachdem erkannt wurde, dass die Wohnbauten nicht nur das Potenzial einer vertikalen Nachverdichtung haben, sondern auch städtebaulich aufgewertet werden können, wurde der Entwurf in diese Richtung weiterentwickelt. Die Diplomarbeit beginnt mit der Wohnbaugeschichte der 1960er und 1970er Jahre, setzt bei den aktuellen und zukünftigen Tendenzen der Wohnbau- und Stadtentwicklung an und vereint in einem Entwurf die Analyse. Im Zuge der Untersuchung von Wohnbauten aus der Vergangenheit wurden sechs Gebäude, die über Wien verteilt liegen und in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren errichtet wurden, genauer untersucht. Kriterien dieser Analysen wurden sowohl auf Wohnbauebene als auch auf Stadtebene festgelegt und bilden die Basis für die Entwurfsarbeit. Hier war es wichtig, Tendenzen der jeweiligen Zeit herauszuarbeiten, Rückschlüsse daraus zu ziehen und Charakteristika bzw. Besonderheiten für den gegenständlichen Entwurf zu filtern. Im nächsten Schritt wurde herausgearbeitet, wie der Wohn- und Stadtraum der Gegenwart aussieht und wie er in Zukunft aussehen könnte. Mit Hilfe dieser Untersuchungen konnten aktuelle Tendenzen sowohl für die Aufstockung als auch für den Städtebau allgemein eingearbeitet werden, sodass am Ende dieser Arbeit ein Entwurf für das Jahr 2050 entsteht. Die Arbeit beinhaltet neben einer Analyse, die wiederum in zeitliche Ebenen - Vergangenheit, Gegenwart, Zukunft - gegliedert ist, einen Entwurfsteil. Hier wurde die Struktur beibehalten, zuerst die Wohnbauebene zu hinterleuchten und dann auf die städtebaulichen Aspekte einzugehen. Für die Recherche wurde sowohl mit Planmaterial als auch Literatur- und Internetrecherche gearbeitet. Die daraus resultierenden Pläne wurden überarbeitet. Zudem wurden Darstellungen und Zeichnungen, die aus der oben genannten Teamarbeit entstanden sind, übernommen und mit eigenhändigen Planungen ergänzt.Like many big cities worldwide, Vienna is confronted with an enormous population growth due to migration and a housing shortage which results from it. In order to offer the residents a home, the City of Vienna is, on the one hand, looking into expanding the urban area and relocating the residential space to the suburbs and on the other hand, there is a tendency to extend already existing buildings which increases the density of the building vertically. The starting point of this thesis was a design draft of a vertical extension as a wood-based hybrid construction of a residential building which was built in the years 1969 and 1970. This draft was developed by two architecture students and one civil engineering student in order to enter a competition on the topic of vertical extension organized by the company “proholz austria”. The design exercise of the residential building built in the years 1969/1970 was part of the invitation to tender. During the course of this thesis paper, the idea behind the original designing draft was further developed, which led to changes being made to the extension. After the realization that there was more potential to the residential building than just an increase of the vertical density, the urban development was also upgraded and the designing draft was further continued in this regard. This thesis paper starts with an insight into the history of the residential building of the 1960ies and 1970ies, considers current and future tendencies of the housing and city developments and concludes with a draft which brings the analysis of these together. The closer examination of residential buildings from the past was done on six buildings, which are situated all over Vienna and were all built in the 1960ies and 1970ies. The criteria of the analysis were based on aspects of the housing situation as well as aspects of urban development and form the basis for the draft. During the development of these criteria, it was important to take a closer look at the tendencies at a particular period of time, to draw conclusions from them and to pinpoint characteristics respectively distinctive features which can be used for the draft. In the next step, it was examined what the current housing situation and the city of today look like and what it might look like in the future. This examination showed current tendencies of vertical extensions as well as urban development in general which were taken into consideration and led to the draft for the year 2050 at the end of this thesis. This thesis consists of an analysis, which is divided into three temporal aspects: the past, the present and the future, as well as the draft. The draft section of the paper is structured in the same way: first, the residential aspects are examined and then the aspect of urban development is looked into further. Research was done using blueprints as well as literature and the internet. The blueprints resulting from this research were edited, additionally, drawings and other visual representations which were done in the team of students were incorporated respectively made for this paper
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.
