Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Correspondence Romain Rolland - Gaston Thiesson (1915-1919)
No full textRomain Rolland et Gaston Thiesson se rencontrent en août 1912 en Suisse mais leur amitié se renforce lors des deux séjours du peintre dans ce pays durant la première Guerre mondiale, entre septembre 1915 et avril 1916. Sur les 166 lettres présentées ici, 86 lettres sont échangées durant cette période. La venue de Thiesson, au moment où Rolland décide de se retirer de la mêlée, est un réconfort pour l’écrivain attaqué par la presse nationaliste qui l’accuse de défaitisme à la suite de ses articles parus au Journal de Genève. Rolland voit en lui un homme courageux et dévoué qui, après la parution du libelle de Henri Massis Romain Rolland contre la France, veut recueillir avec l’aide des journalistes Jacques Mesnil et Georges Pioch des témoignages de soutien à paraître dans Les Hommes du Jour. L’engagement du peintre pour la défense des idées pacifistes de l’auteur de Au-dessus de la mêlée, est semée d’embûches (les réactions de P.-H. Loyson notamment) et la parution des témoignages est un succès en demi-teinte. Touché par cet homme au cœur tendre, dont les mésaventures le remplissent de compassion, Rolland exprime dans ses lettres sa foi dans les forces de l’art et de la bonté. Après son installation au bord du lac Léman, Thiesson séjourne à Montana avec le poète Pierre Jean Jouve. Après un voyage à travers la Suisse, il rentre en France où il meurt trois ans plus tard. Cette correspondance révèle la volonté exigeante de Romain Rolland de mettre en accord une pensée, une vie et un art pour mieux les opposer tous ensemble aux forces destructrices de la haine, dans la recherche héroïque et périlleuse d’une entente entre les êtres et d’une harmonie entre les peuples.Romain Rolland and Gaston Thiesson first met in August 1912 in Switzerland but their friendship got stronger when the painter happened to spend some time in that country, during World War I, twice between September 1915 and April 1916. Among the 166 letters presented here, 86 were exchanged during that period. Thiesson’s coming to support him, at the very time when Rolland decided to retire, was very comforting for the writer who was being attacked by the nationalist press that accused him of defeatism after he had published some leading articles in the Journal de Genève. Rolland saw him as a brave and devoted man who, after Henri Massis published his pamphlet Romain Rolland contre la France, wanted to gather, with the journalists Jacques Mesnil et Georges Pioch’s help, expressions of support to be published in Les Hommes du Jour. The painter’s commitment in favour of the author of Au-dessus de la mêlée, is full of ups and downs (P.-H. Loyson’s reactions particularly) and the publishing of the testimonies a half tone success. Moved by this soft-hearted man, whose misadventures fill him with compassion, Rolland expressed, in his letters, his faith in the strength of Art and kindness. After settling near the Lac Leman, Thiesson stayed in Montana for a while with poet Pierre Jean Jouve. After travelling around Switzerland, he went back to France, and died there three years later. This correspondence gives away Romain Rollands’s demanding will that a way of thinking has to match a way of living and a way of seeing Art but then he wants to oppose them all to the destroying forces of hatred, in the heroic and perilous search of meeting of minds between people and harmony between peoples
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.
