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
The (re)production of the small town Boa Vista do Ramos – AM and its economic dynamics
No full textThis monograph had as its proposal, the main objective of understanding the relationships that produce and reproduce the small town Boa Vista do Ramos - AM, as well as its spatial dynamics, highlighting the factors that shape its regional urban space, as well as its physical structure that characterizes the relationships with other cities and communities around it, and its importance on a local scale for the State of Amazonas. For this, observations will be made about the city, as well as an open interview with two of its first residents, to understand the historical process of the city that fosters the study of it, expanding knowledge about its trajectory and social space. The work is justified by understanding the production of the space itself as a construction that becomes the place of subsistence for the place itself and adjacent places, in the same way, the relations of the small town with other cities and rural communities. The study also aims to analyze the economic relations between them, so that the (re)productions are involved in functions that the small city performs, ranging from its basic services to its dynamics that shape its space, and that due to the strong proximity to the rural tends to be constantly related to the urban. Therefore, the bibliographic survey was essential, as was the field research, analyzing the place, the space itself, using dialectical historical materialism to arrive at the results, understanding the social relations that produce and reproduce the small town of Boa View from Ramos – AM and its spatial dynamics present in it.Esta monografia teve como proposta, o objetivo principal de compreender as relações que produzem e reproduzem a pequena cidade Boa Vista do Ramos – AM, bem como suas dinâmicas espaciais, salientando os fatores que configuram o seu espaço urbano regional, assim como sua estrutura física que caracteriza as relações com as demais cidades e comunidades ao seu entorno, e sua importância em escala local para o Estado do Amazonas. Para isso, serão feitas observações acerca do município, bem como entrevista aberta com dois de seus primeiros moradores, para se entender o processo histórico da cidade que fomenta no estudo da mesma, ampliando conhecimento sobre sua trajetória e espaço social. A justificativa do trabalho se dá em meio a entender a produção do próprio espaço enquanto construção que se torna o lugar de subsistência para o próprio local e locais adjacentes, do mesmo modo, as relações da pequena cidade com outras cidades e comunidades rurais. O estudo também visa analisar as relações econômicas entre ambas, de modo que as (re) produções estão envolvidas em funções que a pequena cidade desempenha que vão desde seus serviços básicos às suas dinâmicas que dão forma ao seus espaço, e que pela forte proximidade com o rural tende a se relacionar constantemente com o urbano. Para tanto, o levantamento bibliográfico foi fundamental, da mesma forma a pesquisa de campo, analisando o lugar, o próprio espaço, utilizando- se o materialismo histórico dialético para se chegar aos resultados, entendendo as relações sociais que produzem e reproduzem a pequena cidade Boa Vista do Ramos – AM e suas dinâmicas espaciais presentes na mesma
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.
