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
From Context to Context
No full textDie Arbeit mit dem Titel „Von Kontext zu Kontext. Verfahren der Aneignung gefundener
Fotografien bei Mike Mandel, Larry Sultan und Peter Piller“ geht der Frage nach, wie sich
Künstler*innen von ihnen gefundene, fremde und nicht für einen genuin künstlerischen Zweck
hergestellte Fotografien für ihre Arbeiten aneignen, welche Präsentationsformen sie wählen und
welche Bedeutung die Art der Präsentation für eine Rezeption und Konstituierung der
Fotografien als Kunst hat.
Die Studie gliedert sich in drei Hauptteile. Im ersten Teil wird anhand einer
kunsthistorischen Verortung untersucht, seit wann Künstler*innen fremde Fotografien in
eigene Werke einbanden, auf welchen Wegen Fotografien des Alltags in die Kunstwelt
gelangten und wie die Aneignung fremder Fotografien juristisch zu bewerten ist. Die nächsten
beiden Kapitel stellen exemplarische Werkanalysen dar, in denen produktions- und
rezeptionsästhetische Ansätze miteinander verbunden werden. Untersucht wird zum einen die
Arbeit Evidence von Mike Mandel und Larry Sultan, welche 1977 zuerst als selbstverlegtes
Buch und später in zahlreichen Ausstellungen präsentiert wurde. Zum anderen wird Peter
Pillers Ende der 1990er begonnener Werkkomplex Archiv Peter Piller analysiert. Hier wird
teilweise zum ersten Mal sowohl das künstlerische Vorgehen und die Formgebung als auch die
Wirkung und kunsthistorische Bedeutung der ausgewählten Arbeiten anhand ihrer
Ausstellungs-, Editions- und Rezeptionsgeschichte untersucht, welche im Fall von Evidence
über 40 Jahre, im Fall des Archiv Peter Piller über 20 Jahre umfasst. Die Analysen basieren im
Wesentlichen auf einem kunsthistorisch vergleichenden Ansatz. Sie widmen sich der
Materialität der künstlerischen Arbeiten und untersuchen deren räumliche und mediale
Präsentationskontexte – die Hängung von Fotografien an Ausstellungswänden und ihre
Präsentation in Büchern – sowie die Gleichzeitigkeit dieser Präsentationsformen und ihren
Wechsel.
Es wird gezeigt, dass es nicht nur Künstler*innen, sondern auch Kurator*innen und
Verleger*innen waren, die dazu beitrugen, dass sich bereits in der ersten Hälfte des 20.
Jahrhunderts eine eigenständige Tradition im künstlerischen, kuratorischen und editorischen
Umgang mit gefundenen Fotografien entwickelte. Die Verfahrens- und Kontextanalysen
verdeutlichen, dass die ausgewählten Künstler mit ihrem Vorgehen die Grenzen zwischen
editorischen, kuratorischen und künstlerischen Aneignungsverfahren aufweichen und bewusst darauf abzielen, auch die Klassifizierbarkeit der von ihnen angeeigneten Fotografien zu
erschweren. Zudem belegt die Analyse, dass die ausgewählten Werke nicht allein durch die
simple Entnahme von Fotografien aus einem Kontext und deren Eingabe in einen anderen
Kontext entstehen, sondern vielmehr aus einem komplexen und mehrschrittigen Prozess
hervorgehen, der unter anderem eine materielle Bearbeitung der gefundenen Fotografien
beinhaltet.„From Context to Context. The Appropriation of Found Photographs in the Art of Mike Mandel,
Larry Sultan, and Peter Piller“ explores the question of how artists appropriate found
photographs that are foreign and not produced for a genuine artistic purpose for their works,
which modes of presentation the artists choose, and what significance the mode of presentation
has for the reception and constitution of these photographs as art.
The study is divided into three main parts. The first part examines, on the basis of an art
historical localization, when artists began to incorporate photographs by others into their own
works, how photographs of everyday life entered the art world, and how the appropriation of
photographs by others is to be evaluated from a legal point of view. The next two chapters
present exemplary work analyses in which production- and reception-aesthetic approaches are
combined. Firstly, the work Evidence by Mike Mandel and Larry Sultan is examined, which
was first presented in 1977 as a self-published book and later shown in numerous exhibitions.
Secondly, the study analyses Peter Piller's work complex entitled Archiv Peter Piller, started at
the end of the 1990s. Here, in part for the first time, the study examines both the artistic
approach and form as well as the impact and art historical significance of the selected works on
the basis of their exhibition, edition, and reception history, which in the case of Evidence spans
over 40 years, and in the case of Archiv Peter Piller over 20 years. These analyses are essentially
based on a comparative art historical approach. They are devoted to the materiality of the artistic
works and examine their spatial and medial presentation contexts – the hanging of photographs
on exhibition walls and their presentation in books – as well as the simultaneity of these forms
of presentation and their change.
The study shows that it was not only artists, but also curators and publishers who
substantially contributed to the development of an independent tradition in the artistic, editorial,
and curatorial treatment of found photographs as early as the first half of the 20th century. The
presented procedural and contextual analysis make it clear that the selected artists' approach
softens the boundaries between editorial, curatorial, and artistic appropriation procedures and deliberately aims to complicate the classifiability of the photographs they appropriate.
Moreover, the analysis proves that the selected works are not created by simply taking
photographs from one context and entering them into another, but rather emerge from a
complex and multi-step process that includes, among other things, a material treatment of the
found photographs

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.
