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
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.

Immunoarchitectural Characterization Of A Human Skin Model Reconstructed In Vitro
No full textContext and Objective: Over the last few years, different models for human skin equivalent reconstructed in vitro (HSERIV) have been reported for clinical usage and applications in research for the pharmaceutical industry. Before release for routine use as human skin replacements, HSERIV models need to be tested regarding their similarity with in vivo skin, using morphological (architectural) and immunohistochemical (functional) analyses. A model for HSERIV has been developed in our hospital, and our aim here was to further characterize its immunoarchitectural features by comparing them with human skin, before it can be tested for clinical use, e.g. for severe burns or wounds, whenever ancillary methods are not indicated. Design and Setting: Experimental laboratory study, in the Skin Cell Culture Laboratory, School of Medical Sciences, Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Methods: Histological sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, Masson's trichrome for collagen fibers, periodic acid-Schiff reagent for basement membrane and glycogen, Weigert-Van Gieson for elastic fibers and Fontana-Masson for melanocytes. Immunohistochemistry was used to localize cytokeratins (broad spectrum of molecular weight, AE1/AE3), high molecular weight cytokeratins (34βE12), low molecular weight cytokeratins (35βH11), cytokeratins 7 and 20, vimentin, S-100 protein (for melanocytic and dendritic cells), CD68 (KP1, histiocytes) and CD34 (QBend, endothelium). Results: Histology revealed satisfactory similarity between HSERIV and in vivo skin. Immunohistochemical analysis on HSERIV demonstrated that the marker pattern was similar to what is generally present in human skin in vivo. Conclusion: HSERIV is morphologically and functionally compatible with human skin observed in vivo.12712833Kim, B.M., Suzuki, S., Nishimura, Y., Cellular artificial skin substitute produced by short period simultaneous culture of fibroblasts and keratinocytes (1999) Br J Plast Surg, 52 (7), pp. 573-578Kremer, M., Lang, E., Berger, A.C., Evaluation of dermal-epidermal skin equivalents ('composite-skin') of human keratinocytes in a collagen-glycosaminoglycan matrix(Integra artifi cial skin) (2000) Br J Plast Surg, 53 (6), pp. 459-465Hoeller, D., Huppertz, B., Roos, T.C., An improved and rapid method to reconstruct skin equivalents from human hair follicles and fibroblasts (2001) Exp Dermatol, 10 (4), pp. 264-271Jansson, K., Haegerstrand, A., Kratz, G., A biodegradable bovine collagen membrane as a dermal template for human in vivo wound healing (2001) Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg Hand Surg, 35 (4), pp. 369-375Navsaria, H.A., Ojeh, N.O., Moiemen, N., Griffiths, M.A., Frame, J.D., Reepithelialization of a full-thickness burn from stem cells of hair follicles micrografted into a tissue-engineered dermal template (Integra) (2004) Plast Reconstr Surg, 113 (3), pp. 978-981Souto, L.R., Rehder, J., Vassallo, J., Cintra, M.L., Kraemer, M.H., Puzzi, M.B., Model for human skin reconstructed in vitro composed of associated dermis and epidermis (2006) Sao Paulo Med J, 124 (2), pp. 71-76Ponec, M., In vitro cultured human skin cells as alternatives to animals for skin irritancy screening (1992) Int J Cosmet Sci, 14 (6), pp. 245-264. , http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/fulltext/119984942/PDFSTART, Dec 23, Available from:, Accessed in 2008Ponec, M., Boelsma, E., Gibbs, S., Mommaas, M., Characterization of reconstructed skin models (2002) Skin Pharmacol Appl Skin Physiol, 15 (SUPPL. 1), pp. 4-17Mirastschijski, U., Bugdahl, R., Rollman, O., Johansson, B.R., Agren, M.S., Epithelial regeneration from bioengineered skin explants in culture (2006) Br J Dermatol, 154 (1), pp. 42-49Stock, U.A., Vacanti, J.P., Tissue engineering: Current state and prospects (2001) Annu Rev Med, 52, pp. 443-451Ponec, M., Gibbs, S., Pilgram, G., Barrier function in reconstructed epidermis and its resemblance to native human skin (2001) Skin Pharmacol Appl Skin Physiol, 14 (SUPPL. 1), pp. 63-71Régnier, M., Asselineau, D., Lenoir, M.C., Human epidermis reconstructed on dermal substrates in vitro: An alternative to animals in skin pharmacology (1990) Skin Pharmacol, 3 (2), pp. 70-85Helm, K.F., Immunohistochemistry of skin tumors (2002) Diagnostic immunohistochemistry, pp. 313-332. , Dabbs D, editor, 1st ed.
