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
Pedagogical approach in the ICF Children and Youth classification. A common language for the health of children and youth, Scientific Committee of the ICF-CY Conference, World Health Organization, Venice, 25-26 October 2007, p. 30
No full textThe classification ICF Children and Youth was developed in response to a need for a version of the ICF that could be used universally for children and youth in the health, education and social sectors. The manifestation of disability and health conditions in children and adolescents are different in nature, intensity and impact from those of adults; documentation of disability and risk factors for disability in early childhood is crucial for prevention and early intervention efforts. These differences need to be taken into account so that classification content in sensitive to the changes associated with development and encompasses the characteristics of different age groups and environment. A version of the ICF for children and youth, particularly, can facilitate continuity of documentation of disability in transitions from child to adult services, for example.
All contents in the ICF-CY are in conformity with international conventions and declarations on behalf of the rights of children. The major themes of these conventions and declarations are: UN Convention on the Right of the Child (1989); the Standard Rules for the Equalization of Opportunities (1993); the Salamanca Statement on the Right to Education (1994); UN Convention on the Right of Persons with Disabilities (2006). The ICF-CY is also in term of same references such as the biopsychosocial approach of disability (Engel 1977), the transactional model of person-environment interaction (Sameroff); the theory of environmental systems (Bronfenbrenner 1986), the theory of the development of child (Piaget, Vygotskij, Miller), others research of the development of child and the international results of field trials of the ICF-CY.
In Italy, into the field trials of ICF-CY the IRCCS Medea – La Nostra Famiglia (Conegliano TV) completes a research with this hypothesis: the ICF-CY describes more detailed the functional profile of the children compared with original ICF and describes the specific feature of development: learning, school age, play etc.
The results prove that the classification ICF-CY describes the functional profile of the child in development pointing out functioning and problematic areas; that ICF-CY describes the differences between capacity and performance in relation to the environment of life; ICF-CY describes better that original ICF the specific areas of development: language and mobility development, learning, school age, play, development and growth delay etc; information by ICF-CY permit to elaborate the project of life of the person; the subjectivity is still a problematic element.
Therefore the goal of ICF-CY are tracking developmental manifestations of disability, yield classification of functional characteristics to complete diagnoses (consequences of diagnoses) and provide base for development of tools measure childhood disability. The ICF-CY implications for practice, measurement and research are to give a common global language of disability in children and youth; to document individual differences with other classification; to monitor demographic trends of children receiving services.
For all these elements the classification ICF-CY is particularly in relation with the perspective of inclusive pedagogy for the social and school integration of people with disability. In international contest the special education divides school integration, mainstreaming and inclusive education.
School integration is specific of the history and praxis of Italian contest, mainstreaming is specific of English contest and inclusive education is the perspective that the majority of international education experts back up.
Inclusive education such as the classification ICF-CY are both based on a value of person, on biopsychosocial approach of disability and on the theory of interaction between person and environment. They are both direct to inclusion of all the cultural, linguistic, social, racial, mental and physical differences, to promote the social pa..
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

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.
