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
Adult attachment and interpersonal problems in survivors of interpersonal trauma
No full textHintergrund: Studien zeigen, dass das Erleben eines frühen chronischen interpersonellen Traumas (early chronic interpersonal trauma, ECIP) mit unsicherer Bindung zu intimen Partnern(innen) im Erwachsenenalter zusammenhängt. Es wurde bisher jedoch nicht geprüft, ob dies speziell auf frühe Traumata zutrifft und welcherart die Beziehungen zwischen Traumatyp, Bindung im Erwachsenenalter und PTSD sind. Die vorliegende Studie hatte folgende Ziele: (1) Vergleich der Bindungssicherheit in einer ECIP Gruppe mit jener bei Menschen, die ein spätes (Alter ≥ 14 Jahre), ein frühes kurzzeitiges (Alter < 14 Jahre, Dauer < 1 Jahr) oder ein nicht-interpersonelles Trauma erlebt hatten, (2) Prüfung der Hypothese, dass die Bindung im Erwachsenenalter eine Mediatorvariable für den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Erleben eines interpersonellem Traumas und der Stärke von PTSD-Symptomen darstellt.
Methode: Internet-User, die durch trauma- oder gesundheitsbezogene Websites rekrutiert wurden, füllten sechs Online-Fragebögen aus. Erhoben wurden die Traumageschichte, Bindung im Erwachsenenalter, interpersonelle Probleme, PTSD-Symptomstärke, sowie Anzeichen einer Depression und Borderline Persönlichkeitsstörung. Die Bindungssicherheit wurde mit dem Fragebogen Experiences in Close Relationships - Revised (ECR-R; Fraley et al., 2000) erhoben, welcher bindungsbezogene Vermeidung und Ängstlichkeit, erfasst.
Ergebnisse: Insgesamt bearbeiteten 260 Personen (234 Frauen) den Fragebogen bis zum Schluss. Nach Anwendung der Ausschlusskriterien blieben 209 Personen (190 Frauen) über. Die ECIP Gruppe (n = 130) berichtete eine signifikant höhere bindungsbezogene Ängstlichkeit und Vermeidung als spät interpersonell (n = 31) oder nicht-interpersonell traumatisierte Personen (n = 24). Es gab, konträr zur Erwartung, jedoch keinen Hinweis auf einen Unterschied zur Gruppe der früh kurzzeitig interpersonell traumatisierten Personen (n = 24). Weiters war die Bindungsunsicherheit im Erwachsenenalter ein partieller Mediator des Zusammenhangs zwischen Trauma und der PTSD-Symptomstärke.
Schlussfolgerung: Unsichere Bindung im Erwachsenenalter könnte eine konsistente Folge früher interpersoneller Traumata sein sowie zur Entwicklung von PTSD beitragen. Von der künftigen Forschung wird zu klären sein, ob unsichere Bindung speziell auf frühe interpersonelle Traumata zurückzuführen ist oder ob sie eine Folge der PTSD-Symptome ist, die nach einem interpersonellen Trauma auftreten.Background: Earlier research has shown that the experience of early chronic interpersonal trauma (ECIP) is related to insecure attachment to romantic partners in adulthood. However, it has not been tested to date whether this is specific for early-onset trauma and what the exact relationship is between trauma type, adult attachment and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aims of this study were (1) to compare adult attachment in an ECIP group to that in individuals who experienced a late-onset, an early single or a non-interpersonal trauma, and (2) to test whether adult attachment mediates the relationship between the experience of interpersonal trauma and PTSD symptom severity.
Material and methods: Two hundred and sixty English-speaking Internet users, recruited through trauma-or health-related websites, completed a set of online questionnaires assessing trauma history, adult attachment security, interpersonal problems, PTSD symptom severity, as well as screenings of depression and borderline personality disorder. Attachment security was assessed with the Experiences in Close Relationships Revised scale (Fraley et al., 2000) which taps the two adult attachment dimensions avoidance and anxiety.
Results: Following the application of exclusion criteria, 209 individuals (190 women) remained in the sample. The early chronic interpersonal trauma group (n = 130), which included individuals sexually or physically abused in childhood, reported significantly more attachment avoidance and anxiety than the late interpersonal (n = 31) and the non-interpersonal trauma group (n = 24). However, no difference was found between early short-term (n = 24) and early chronic traumas. Furthermore, adult attachment showed to be a partial mediator of the association between trauma type and PTSD symptom severity.
Conclusion: Attachment-related avoidance and anxiety in adulthood may be a consistent sequel of early interpersonal trauma and may contribute to the development of PTSD. Future research needs to test whether insecure adult attachment is a unique sequel of interpersonal trauma or whether it stems from increased PTSD symptom severity following interpersonal trauma

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.
