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
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.

Les contributions théoriques et les apports heuristiques des voix et des théories trans à la conceptualisation des pratiques drag king
Full text linkLes pratiques drag king (PDK) émergent en contexte étatsunien entre la fin des années 1980 et le début des années 1990, à partir de l’enchevêtrement entre subcultures sexuelles, subcultures de genre et techniques performatives expérimentales. Elles se diffusent par la suite en Italie à la fin des années 1990. Traditionnellement historicisées et problématisées par des théoricien.ne.s et des activistes anglophones (Halberstam, 1998a ; Volcano et Halberstam, 1999 ; Torr et Bottoms, 2010), les PDK ont généralement été comprises comme des performances de femmes (hétérosexuelles, lesbiennes ou queers, supposément cisgenres) s’habillant en hommes pour dénaturaliser la masculinité par son imitation (Torr et Bottoms, 2010). Néanmoins, cette conceptualisation est limitée par des présomptions anglonormatives étasuniennes (Baldo, Borghi et Fiorilli, 2014 ; Baril, 2017) et cisnormatives (Baril, 2016). Elle occulte également les spécificités des PDK dans divers contextes nationaux et elle efface spécifiquement les sujets trans. Afin de pallier à ces limites, cette thèse analyse les contributions théoriques et heuristiques des voix trans, non binaires et non cisgenres italiennes pour conceptualiser les PDK actuelles à partir de quinze entrevues semi-dirigées, conduites en Italie dans le cadre d’une ethnographie de type « affinitaire ». Traité selon une analyse thématique (Paillé et Mucchielli, 2016), le matériau offre trois macro-rubriques : les critiques de la reproduction de masculinités toxiques et de biais hétérocisnormatifs et homonormatifs en milieu d’ateliers DK, la reconnaissance du DK comme espace de subjectivation et enfin la mise en lumière des tensions entre DK et postures trans. Ces macro-rubriques ont été discutées en puisant dans un cadre théorique et conceptuel qui repose sur les études trans, les études féministes, les études sur les masculinités et sur des perspectives issues des productions subculturelles queers, trans et des mouvements sociaux. Premièrement, les entrevues montrent que l’on peut, dans les ateliers DK, recentrer et reproduire des masculinités hégémoniques et créer des dynamiques homosociales oppressives en délégitimant à la fois les masculinités subalternes et les désirs des participant.e.s de s’identifier avec celles-ci. Elles ont également souligné la nécessité de dépasser l’idée que le DK aurait une base biologique (le sexe féminin assigné à la naissance). Cette vision ne respecte pas l’autodétermination des participant.e.s, occulte leurs trajectoires de vie et les raisons qui les poussent à expérimenter. Deuxièmement, les témoignages démontrent que les PDK sont une pratique de subjectivation pour explorer un potentiel genre désiré ou construire et affirmer son propre genre. Elles sont donc une cyber-technologie des corps et des genres trans, non binaires et non cisgenres selon un principe de soutenabilité par rapport au genre. Elles représentent un contexte où re/trouver une masculinité « soutenable » ainsi qu’éthique et solidaire avec d’autres sujets marginalisés et d’autres luttes de justice sociale. De plus, les PDK peuvent être des catalyseurs de futurs queers, au sens d’espaces d’articulation de masculinités trans queers et pédées. Troisièmement, la recherche a créé un espace d’expression pour aborder la question de la transnormativité en Italie. Non seulement cette normativité influence la perception de soi des participant.e.s, mais elle repose sur une « comptabilisation des privilèges » qui est utilisée pour produire des hiérarchies de légitimité au sein des réseaux trans. De fait, le terrain a permis de détecter un « privilège de subjectivation » possédé par les personnes qui se conforment au protocole de transition officiel. Enfin, les témoignages ont relevé le double standard faisant en sorte que les genres cis soient jugés différemment par rapport aux genres trans au sein des PDK. Les personnes trans sont soumises à une surveillance supplémentaire qui les pousse à devoir démontrer un sentiment de cohérence et de persistance dans l’identification avec leur genre d’élection. Les contributions théoriques et heuristiques des voix trans, non binaires et non cisgenres italiennes pour approcher et conceptualiser les PDK actuelles sont très riches et permettent de renouveler non seulement les études sur le DK, les études trans, sur les masculinités, de genre et transféministes mais éventuellement les PDK elles-mêmes.
