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
Варіантність образу героя в Античності та Середньовіччі
Full text linkThe revitalization of mythological consciousness in times of war dictates the necessity of a more detailed study of the hero figure. This image, despite certain constants, undergoes transformations depending on the cultural and historical epoch in which it manifests itself; therefore, a comprehensive analysis of contemporary heroism requires an exploration of its original forms. In earlier times, only gods were endowed with the status of heroes; however, over time, “demigods” began to appear, which are characteristic of ancient literature. It is the divine component of their genesis that enables superhuman feats that glorify the hero. To denote “glory,” the Greeks used the concept of kleos, which contains two divergent vectors: the first, centripetal, directed toward the hero’s personality, and the second, centrifugal, oriented toward the collective or ancestral. Kleos is embodied by Achilles, Heracles, Theseus, and other ancient heroes, while Odysseus represents the concept of nostos – the return home – which also testifies to struggle, or agon, inherent to many classical heroes. In contrast, the Roman version of the hero is characterized by a set of virtues known as Via Romana, the moral code of Roman civilization. Dignity, discipline, and piety – these qualities shaped the citizen of the state, whose life was to be devoted to it. A defining feature of the Roman hero is the awareness of a moral and social hierarchy, at the bottom of which is the soldier and citizen; above them, the patricians and consuls; still higher, the emperor and Rome as the center of the world; and at the summit, the pantheon of gods with Jupiter presiding over them. The knight, or the medieval variant of the hero, was likewise subordinated to a strict hierarchy, with the king above him, and above the king – God Himself. Its mimetic nature is crucial to understanding medieval heroics: Christian heroism centers on imitation of Jesus, who, like the demigods of antiquity, embodies the union of divine and human. His death gave rise to the cult of saints in Western civilization, including hero-martyrs who gave their lives for faith. Thus, it can be concluded that the medieval concept of the hero is a modified continuation of the ancient model, adapted to the spiritual and theological framework of Christian culture.Ревіталізація міфологічної свідомості в часи війни диктує потребу в детальнішому вивченні постаті героя. Цей образ, попри певні константи, зазнає видозмін залежно від культурної та історичної епохи, в якій реалізується, тож задля повноцінного аналізу героїки сучасності доречно вивчити її початкові варіанти. Раніше людство наділяло статусом героя лише богів, проте з часом почали з’являтися «напівбоги», що характерно для античної літератури. Саме божественний компонент їхньої ґенези уможливлює надлюдські звершення, що прославляють героя. На позначення «слави» греки послуговувалися поняттям «клеос», що утримує два різноспрямованих вектори: перший – доцентровий, скерований на особистість героя, другий – відцентровий, колективно-родовий. Клеос реалізують Ахілл, Геракл, Тезей та інші герої античності, Одіссей же репрезентує поняття «ностос», тобто повернення додому, що також є свідченням боротьби, тобто агону, притаманного багатьом класичним героям. Натомість римський варіант героя характеризується низкою чеснот Via Romana, притаманними їхньому моральному кодексу. Гідність, дисципліна, побожність – усі ці якості формували громадянина держави, життя якого й мало бути присвячене їй. Питомою рисою римського героя є усвідомлення вертикалі, внизу якої – воїн і громадянин, над ним – патриції, консули, ще вище – імператор і Рим як центр світу, а на вершині – пантеон богів, над якими вивищується Юпітер. Рицар, тобто середньовічний варіант героя, також підпорядковувався чіткій вертикалі, де над ним – король, а над королем – сам Господь. Важливий для усвідомлення міметичний характер християнської героїки, в центрі якої, як і в Античності, стоїть напівбог, тобто Ісус, по смерті якого в західній цивілізації зародився культ святих, зокрема святих героїв-мучеників, які віддали життя за віру. Отже, можна зробити висновок, що модель середньовічного концепту героя запозичена з Античності у модифікованому вигляді
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.
