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
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
Diversité organoleptique des produits fermiers : relation entre savoir-faire des producteurs, caractéristiques sensorielles des produits et préférences des consommateurs. Le cas des saucissons secs fermiers du Massif Central
No full textTraditional products are an interesting purchase option for the consumers confronted with the standardization of industrial products and the manufacture of these traditional products allows the producers to have more incomes in order to perpetuate their farm. The aim of this study is to identify and to characterise the diversity of traditional pure pork dry sausages of Massif Central, to know the perception of the consumers towards these products and to measure the impact of the sensory information on their perception. Firstly, the typology of manufacturing know-how on the overall traditional small scale facilities of Massif Central led to 6 groups of know-how which differed mainly by the choice of the raw materials used and by the techniques of drying. The link between the know-how and the organoleptic characteristics of the dry sausages was set up by canonical correlation analysis. Secondly, the organoleptic diversity of the dry sausages was characterised by sensory tools. The results confirmed that the factors driving the diversity are the raw materials used and the techniques of drying. The homogeneity and the regularity of the traditional dry sausages were demonstrated by the study of the composition of intra-dry sausage, of the batch of production and of the products through the year. These results allowed to check that the diversity observed on the small scale facilities is generally stable. Finally, the dry sausages representatives of the 6 know-how groups were presented to the consumers during an hedonic test in blind condition then with the information describing their sensory profile. The results showed that the traditional dry sausages are globally liked by the consumers. Moreover, the sensory information provided to the consumers oriented their preference. In fact, the sensory information allows the consumer to better analyse the organoleptic characteristics of the products. Thus, some producers with an innovative process offer to the consumers a larger diversity of traditional dry sausages. Contrary to the generally accepted idea, the traditional manufacturing is homogeneous and regular. Finally, these dry sausages have generally a good quality and are liked by the consumers of traditional products.L'objectif de cette étude est de caractériser la diversité des saucissons secs purs porc fermiers du Massif Central et de connaître la perception des consommateurs vis-à-vis de ces produits en présence ou non d'une information sensorielle. Premièrement, une typologie des savoir-faire de fabrication de l'ensemble des ateliers fermiers du Massif Central a conduit à 6 groupes de savoir-faire. Deuxièmement, la diversité organoleptique des saucissons secs a été démontrée par les profils flash et QDA (R) sur 12 à 15 produits. Les facteurs de la diversité organoleptique sont les matières premières utilisées et les techniques de séchage. Puis l'homogénéité et la régularité des productions ont été montrées. Finalement, l'étude consommateur sur 6 saucissons secs a montré qu'en aveugle ces produits sont globalement appréciés par les consommateurs. En présence d'informations, les préférences sont modifiées : l'information permet de mieux appréhender la diversité organoleptique des produit

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.
