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
Modélisation de l'écosystème pélagique en mer Ligure. Application à la campagne DYNAPROC 2 (Sep-Oct 2004).
No full textModelling was used as a tool for better understanding the physical and biological processes observed during the multidisciplinary cruise DYNAPROC 2 (DYNAmic of rapid PROCesses in the water column) which took place in the Ligurian Sea in September-October 2004. The aim of the cruise was to study the short-time scale physical and biological processes that occur when the ecosystem switches from summer oligotrophy to autumnal mesotrophy. One of the most striking events observed during the cruise was the crossing of two low salinity water lenses in the sampling area, which was thought to be protected from lateral inputs. In this study, we have first fitted a 1D physical-biological coupled model to the cruise data set. The simulated food-web accounted ten state variables: three nutrients, three classes of phytoplankton, two classes of zooplankton and two types of detritus. The results showed that the main differences between model and data occurred during the low salinity water intrusions. In a second step, we tested two methods of data assimilation: the introduction of a relaxation term to the temperature measurements and a new data assimilation approach (called IDA, Isopycnal Depth Adjustment) which consists in assimilating the measured variations of isopycnal depths. The evaluation of the relative performance of the different models was performed using a Taylor diagram. The IDA method appeared to be the most efficient in reproducing the observed ecosystem dynamics. This study allowed characterization of the properties of the low salinity water mass, calibration of the matter fluxes at short-time scale and provides a better estimation of the relative contribution of physical and biological processes in the production layer in offshore waters of the Ligurian Sea.La modélisation a été utilisée comme outil pour améliorer la compréhension des processus physiques et biologiques observés pendant la campagne pluridisciplinaire DYNAPROC 2 (DYNamique des PROCessus rapides dans la colonne d'eau) qui a eu lieu dans la zone centrale de la mer Ligure en septembre-octobre 2004. Cette campagne avait pour objectif l'étude des phénomènes physiques et biologiques qui agissent à courte échelle de temps lors de la transition saisonnière entre l'oligotrophie estivale et la mésotrophie automnale. L'un des éléments les plus marquants de la campagne est le passage de deux lentilles d'eau dessalée dans la zone de mesure que l'on pensait être isolée des apports latéraux. Dans ce travail, nous avons dans un premier temps appliqué un modèle 1D couplé physique-biologie aux données de la campagne. Le réseau trophique simulé comporte dix variables d'états : trois sels nutritifs, trois classes de phytoplancton, deux classes de zooplancton et deux types de détritus. Les résultats ont montré que les principales différences entre ce modèle et les mesures avaient lieu pendant les intrusions d'eau dessalée. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons testé deux méthodes d'assimilation de données : une méthode classique de relaxation aux données de température et une méthode que nous avons développée, qui est basée sur l'assimilation des variations de profondeur des isopycnes (méthode IDA, Isopycnal Depth Adjustment). L'évaluation des performances relatives des trois modèles a été effectuée avec des diagrammes de Taylor et a montré que le modèle IDA était le plus performant dans la représentation des évènements observés. Cette étude a permis de caractériser les propriétés de la masse d'eau dessalée, de calculer les flux de matière journaliers et de définir les contributions relatives de la physique et de la biologie à l'évolution de la zone productive au large de la mer Ligure
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.
