    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    Perancangan Radar HF Berbasis FPGA Untuk Pengamatan Karakteristik Ionosfer

    Radar HF (High Frequency) adalah instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengamati dinamika lapisan ionosfer yang memancarkan sinyal secara vertikal untuk mengetahui kualitas sistim komunikasi jarak jauh dengan radio HF. Dengan wilayah Indonesia yang luas diperlukan instrumen Radar HF yang tersebar dari wilayah timur sampai barat Indonesia, namun jumlah Radar HF yang beroperasi sekarang sangat minim sehingga identifikasi kualitas komunikasi radio HF di Indonesia sangat terbatas, agar pengamatan kualitas sistim komunikasi HF dapat dilakukan lebih baik, diperlukan desain Radar HF sebagai prototipe Radar operasional. Perancangan Radar HF untuk prototipe Radar pengamatan karakteristik ionosfer dengan menggunakan metode bi-phase coded pulse compression yaitu, Barker coded-pulse untuk meningkatkan nilai sensitifitas instrumen, selanjutnya implementasi sistem dengan modul FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) diterapkan untuk meningkatkan performansi sistem secara keseluruhan. Hasil perancangan digunakan untuk mengamati karakteristik lapisan ionosfer saat sore dan malam hari di lokasi uji kota Sumedang, Jawa Barat. Radar HF hasil perancangan memberikan informasi pembentukan lapisan E ionosfer di ketinggian 101-112 km pada sore hari pada rentang frekuensi yang dipantulkan dari 3 MHz sampai 5 MHz. Pada malam hari Radar dapat mengkonfirmasi lapisan E yang terdeformasi, dan lapisan F yang naik di ketinggian sampai 554 km dengan rentang frekuensi yang dipantulkan dari 6 MHz sampai 10 MHz. ======================================================================================================================== HF (High Frequency) Radar is used for observing ionosphere layer, where it transmits electromagnetic signal vertically in order to obtain information the quality of HF radio communication link. Indonesia’s large geographical area needs more HF Radar instruments that spread from east to west of Indonesian archipelago, however the instrumentations instaled are far from enough, such that the prediction of the quality of HF communication link can not be well established, then it is a need to design as a prototype of operational HF Radar. In this research, the bi-phase coded pulse compression e.g. Barker coded-pulse implemented on FPGA processor. Furthermore, the Radar design implemented using FPGA is investigated and applied in order to improve the overall performance. The designed Radar is used to measure the ionosphere layer over Sumedang area, West Java during the after noon time and night time. The observation of ionosphere dynamics gave the results that the Radar can detect the presence of E layer over Sumedang at height 101 – 112 km where it reflected the signal from 3 MHz to 5 MHz during after noon time. During night time the designed Radar confirms the deformation of E layer as well as detects the presence of F layer at height 554 km where the F layer reflected the signal from 6 MHz to 10 MHz

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In 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.
