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
1995 Sub-Librarians Meeting: Let a Woman in Your Life: the Women in Conan Doyle\u27s Life and Fiction
No full textAt the 23rd (Irregular) meeting, the Sub-Librarians greeted members of multiple Chicago area scion societies at the Harold Washington Library Center. The meeting began with a champagne and dessert reception in the lower lobby and then moved into the video theater for the program. Toasts were given by Katherine Rankin, Deborah Schlesinger and others.
Marsha Pollak, ASH, welcomed everyone and introduced Ely. M. Liebow, professor of English at Northeastern Illinois University and author of Dr. Joe Bell: Model for Sherlock Holmes. Liebow spoke on the topic Let a Woman in Your Life: The Women in Arthur Conan Doyle\u27s Life and Fiction
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
2001 Sub-Librarians Meeting: Tea and Mystery
No full textMarsha Pollak welcomed the Sub-Librarians and members of local scions, including the Scowrers and Molly Maguires, the Tide-Waiters, the Knights of the Gnomon, and Disjecta Membra, to the 29th (Irregular) annual meeting. Once again the group met in the Savoy Room (now a Crowne Plaza Hotel) and had a delicious afternoon tea with tea sandwiches, scones and pastries.
The traditional toasts were made to Lomax by Marc Kaufman, to Sherlock Holmes by Joe Coppola, to Baron Gruner by Bridget Stearns, to Kitty Winter by Alberta Hankenson, and to Hill Barton.
Dianne Day was our featured speaker. Day is the author of the Fremont Jones mystery stories. The first book in this series, The Strange Files of Fremont Jones, was set in 1905 San Francisco where Fremont has a career as a type-writer and buys a copy of Collier\u27s Weekly with the latest Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes mystery.
The meeting closed with the reading of 221B
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
1996 Sub-Librarians Meeting: Sherlock Holmes: Possessor or Possessed
No full textAt the 24th (Irregular) meeting, the Sub-Librarians met with members of several New York City area Sherlockian scion societies, including the Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes and Montague Street Lodgers, at the Renaissance Hotel. A last minute room change moved the group into the bar area, very handy for toasts. Paula Perry made the toast to Lomax, Joe Coppola to Sherlock Holmes, Frank Sadowski to Hill Barton, Bill Vande Water to Baron Gruner, and Maxine Reneker to Kitty Winter.
Susan Rice, author of A Compound of Excelsior, spoke on Sherlock Holmes: Possessor or Possessed, dealing with conservation and classification. She revealed her belief that there are only two ways to divide the human race: everyone is either an accumulator or discarder. She then proceeded to apply her findings to the Canon and Sherlock Holmes.
The meeting closed with a reading of 221B and the singing of A Song for Sub-Librarians.

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
