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
Da canalhice à redenção : Nelson Rodrigues e o supereu brasileiro
Full text linkTese (doutorado)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Psicologia, Departamento de Psicologia Clínica, 2008.Este trabalho realiza uma intersecção entre a psicanálise de Freud (1856-1939) e a
literatura do carioca Nelson Rodrigues (1915-1980). O objetivo principal é proceder a
uma análise da obra rodriguiana com fins a demonstrar a presença do Supereu na
canalhice e na neurose buscando compreender as idiossincrasias do mal-estar na cultura
no Brasil. As funções do Supereu (auto-observação, consciência moral e formação de
ideais) transformam-se de acordo com o contexto histórico e sociocultural. Isso
evidencia a necessidade de situar o conceito freudiano na realidade brasileira. A
construção histórica do país criou formas próprias de colocar o embate entre o desejo e
a censura. A ficção rodriguiana é rica para a elucidação da problemática moral
superegóica. Recorrendo a personagens, situações ou motivos que colocam o conflito
como uma estrutura sempre presente na existência, o dramaturgo carioca construiu um
abrangente mapeamento da moral na sociedade brasileira. Devido aos temas tabus e
polêmicos que abordou, ele se classificava como criador de um teatro desagradável .
Nelson teceu críticas à renúncia pulsional nos tempos modernos que gera a apatia e a
autocoerção, típicas da neurose obsessiva. Freud postula que a criação literária pode
atuar sobre o Supereu de modo a proporcionar um destino sublimado para a pulsão,
diferenciado do sintoma. As forças que impelem os artistas a criar são os mesmos
conflitos que, em outras pessoas, levam à neurose e incentivam a sociedade a construir
suas instituições. Um dos objetivos do artista é libertar-se por meio da comunicação de
sua obra a outro que sofra de conflito semelhante e proporcionar-lhe, também, alguma
libertação. Pensamos que, por meio de sua criação literária, Nelson Rodrigues
conseguiu uma alternativa para o adoecimento psíquico que o espreitava, pois, a
constelação trágica de sua vida, os sofrimentos na carne e na alma, poderiam ter
desencadeado psicopatologias incapacitadoras. Seu talento representa uma simbolização
para o escarafunchar.na lama humana recalcada diante de forças moralizantes.Concluise
que a ironia fina rodriguiana foi audaciosa em cunhar poeticamente aquilo que
representa o óbvio ululante da canalhice no Brasil bem como sua possível redenção.
Temas que, ao lado da cafajestagem, do cinismo, da remissão e do arrependimento,
povoam o cotidiano da clínica e ficaram patentes na obra do dramaturgo. Ele
redimensiona o universal, impregnando-o daquilo que podemos chamar de brasilidade.
Assim, ele demonstra que tais temas constituem especificidades do nosso mal-estar na
cultura. Nelson muito nos ensina sobre o campo clínico, pois aponta possibilidades
criativas para o animal humano, que, muitas vezes, tem que se abismar em seu próprio
horror para sair de lá um pouco menos cego. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTThis work does an intersection between Freud s psychoanalysis (1856-1939) and the
literature by the carioca Nelson Rodrigues (1915-1980). The main purpose is to carry on
the analyses of Rodriguean work to demonstrate the presence of superego on the
lowness and the neurosis trying to understand the idiosyncrasies of ailment in Brazil
culture. The superego functions (auto-observation, moral consciousness and idea
formation) change according to historical and socio-cultural contexts. This shows the
need to establish the Freudian concept at the Brazilian reality. The country historical
construction built its own ways to express the conflict between the desire and the
censure. The Rodriguean fiction is rich to solve the moral problem of the superego. The
carioca writer did a large moral scheme of Brazilian society using characters, situations
or motives which states the conflict between the desire and censure as an always present
structure in the existence. He considered himself as the creator of an unpleasant work
due to the themes and polemic taboos he wrote. Nelson criticized the drive frustration at
modern times resulting the apathy and auto-coercion which are typical of the obsessive
neurosis. Freud postulates that the literary creation may act on the superego in a way to
provide a sublimed destiny to the drive, differentiated from the symptom. The forces
which impel the artists to create are the same forces which in other people change into
neurosis and give incentive to the society to build its institutions. The artist s main
objective is to free himself by his work communication with others who suffer from the
same conflicts and provide them some freedom, too. By his literary creation, Nelson
Rodrigues got an alternative for the psycho illness which desired to infect him, because
the tragedies of his life, the flesh and soul suffering could have started some psychopathologies.
His talent represents a symbolization to dig at the human mud repressed by
moralizing forces. It may be concluded that the fine Rodriguean irony was audacious in
doing poetically what represents the ululant obviousness of lowness in Brazil as well
as its possible redemption. Themes that together with lowness, cynicism, remission and
regret are present at the clinic daily and they were evident at the writer s work. He
redoes the universal filling it with what we can call brasility . Thus, he demonstrates
that such themes constitute specificities of our ailment in the culture. Nelson teaches a
lot about the clinical field, therefore he points out creative possibilities to the human
animal, who, many times, has to sink into its own horror to get out of there a little less
blind
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.
