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.

West The Honorable Charles Wiggins Bill Wilson Dennis Wilson Dear Friend, I urge you to fill out and return the enclosed Voter Preference Tracking Survey that has been registered to you by the Mike Curb Campaign Committee. The Benefit of your Survey answers will be two-fold. First, you will be helping the Curb Campaign Committee in formalizing our official campaign attack on some of the most critical issues facing California citizens. The results of this first Tracking Survey will serve as the basis of our Committee platform for 1982. And secondly, you will be helping Republican candidates at every other level, from Lieutenant Governor to the State Assembly. How? Because this Survey information will be given to every one of our Party nominees for their personal campaign use in each of their districts. It will most likely become the very base for our entire California Republican Platform for the 1982 elections. And, believe me, never have we needed to be more effective than we must in 1982. Why? Because we will be facing one of the most powerful grass-roots and financial political combinations ever organized by the Democratic Party. I\u27m talking about the growing alliance between the political forces of Governor Jerry Brown and his close political friends Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden and their Campaign for Economic Democracy organization (CED). Hayden\u27s CED operation has demonstrated its muscle recently by literally taking over the Democratic Party Convention (something they never could have done before this year). Page 2 And the CED has been organizing in every corner of California, electing their own candidates in strategic locations to city council seats and other local offices. These Liberal CED officeholders and their local organizations will serve as the very backbone of the volunteer network for the Democratic Party during 1982. And nobody underestimates the political strength of Jerry Brown who has organized a massive campaign machine from his two attempts at the Presidency. When you put the fundraising ability of Jerry Brown and Jane Fonda together, the results could be devastating to the Republican Party in California. I\u27m sure you can see why the Mike Curb Campaign Committee is gearing up for the 1982 Governor\u27s campaign early. But you may be thinking that it is just too early. Please let me explain why we have organized and begun now. When we first sat down to set our priorities for the 1982 campaign, our Committee began looking for a couple of basic factors in other campaigns that were critical to success. We looked back over the last fifteen years at other winning and losing campaigns. We found that there were two important ingredients in a winning campaign. The first ingredient was starting early, putting together a solid financial, volunteer and issue-oriented campaign aimed at getting the campaign message out to the voters in time to let them make a decision based on facts and not campaign rhetoric. The second ingredient was how well Republicans, Democrats, Independents etc., would unite around the person at the top of the ticket for the Republican Party. Our most recent example is last year\u27s Presidential race, where Ronald Reagan (my father) headed the Party nationally. And in state after state, Republicans defeated Liberal Democrats because of the solid organization our Party built at every campaign level. For the first time in quite a few years Republicans felt that 1980 was a year which marked a new beginning for our Party. We were united around one man who has proven himself a true leader for the conservative principles of the Republican Party. And now, going into the 1982 elections, we here in California are lucky enough to have another man who has those same qualities of Page 3 Ronald Reagan and who has indicated he will be running for the office of Governor. He is Mike Curb, our Lieutenant Governor. In his 1978 election to the Lieutenant Governor\u27s post, Mike Curb proved he can win votes from Democrats and Republicans alike, something a candidate must do in order to win in California. And he proved he can accomplish that goal without compromising the Republican principles in which he believes. And in the same tradition as President Reagan, Mike Curb has gone out of his way to help other Republican candidates during the elections. Here are just a part of Mike Curb\u27s activities for Republicans during the last few years. 1. In 1976, Mike was California Co-Chairman of the Citizens for Reagan Committee, leading the Reagan delegation at the Republican National Convention in Kansas City. Mike left his business for a full year to dedicate himself to the Reagan effort. 2. Mike is the only major candidate running for the office of Governor who supported Proposition 13 and worked for its passage in 1978. 3. Mike traveled all over California in 1978 helping Republican candidates in their districts while he was running his own campaign. 4. In 1980, Mike became the National Vice-Chairman of the Reagan for President Campaign, traveling around the state and nation whenever asked, to represent the Reagan Campaign. He also served as the Program Chairman of the 1980 National Convention in Detroit, where he was responsible for the entire schedule of events for the Republican Party. 5. Mike traveled to 47 different counties in California in 1980, raising funds for local Republican candidates and rallying support for Ronald Reagan. On top of all this, Mike Curb brings to the office of Governor the experience of running that office for over 200 days while Jerry Brown was out of the state. Mike has done so much for Ronald Reagan and the Republican Party that it would take a book to cover everything. But, one simple thing you can personally do to help Mike now, when he needs us, is to complete and return your Voter Preference Tracking Survey in the postage-paid envelope provided for you by the Curb Campaign Committee. And when you do, I hope that you will also consider sending a financial contribution to the Mike Curb Campaign Committee to help raise the very large amount of money it will take to finance a winning Page 4 campaign against the Brown/Fonda/Hayden political machine. The Governor\u27s race in our state will easily cost three or four million dollars. That\u27s a sum which no candidate can raise without massive support from the members of his or her Party. We have a lot of things going for us right now. Surveys show Mike the early leader as the Republican choice for Governor in 1982. And, I\u27ve enclosed a letter my father sent to Mike thanking him for all he has done to help in the Reagan campaign. With so many great benefits working in our favor right now, it would be tragic if the finances were not there to get an early start on the campaign. And we have so many campaign tasks that must be set into motion within the next few months which will simply not take place without your financial support. Just conducting this Survey throughout the state will cost the Committee thousands of dollars. Not since Ronald Reagan first ran for Governor have we had such a great opportunity to elect a Republican with the credentials that Mike Curb has developed over the last ten years of helping our Party. But, it could all be for nothing if the early money to build the campaign momentum is not there when it is needed. You\u27ve been around politics long enough to know the importance of having the funds necessary for a winning campaign. And you know how important voter survey information is to all our Republican candidates. Please join with me and such other dedicated Republicans as Congressman Bill Dannemeyer, Congresswoman Bobbi Fiedler, Congressman Gene Chappie, Senator Bill Richardson, Senator Ed Davis and Assembly Republican Leader Carol Hallett by completing and returning your Voter Preference Tracking Survey along with your most generous contribution to the Mike Curb Campaign Committee. Sincerely, i Mike Reagan f MA
