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
Development of a Costume for the Estonian National Opera's "Jeanne d'Arc"
No full textLõputöö tulemusena valmistati kostüüm Rahvusooper Estonia naiskoori uuele liikmele
„Jeanne d’Arc-i “ ooperi jaoks, mis oli Estonia teatri mängukavas juba teist hooaega.
Naiskoori kostüümid pidid olema maani, kuid uue laulja jaoks olid olemasolevad kleidid
liiga lühikesed. Töö käigus valmistati spetsiaalselt uuele lauljale mõeldud rõivakomplekt,
võttes eeskujuks olemasolevad kostüümid.
Lõputöös tutvustati Estonia teatrit ja Giuseppe Verdi ooperit „Jeanne d’Arc“ ning kirjeldati
kostüümi kavandamisel olulisi tingimusi. Kostüümi puhul on tähtis, et seda saaks kergesti
selga panna ja vajadusel lihtsalt kohendada. Lisaks esitati põhjalik kostüümi välisilme
kirjeldus ning kasutatud materjalide iseloomustus. Kostüüm koosneb kolmest osast –
pealiskleit, aluskleit ja alusseelik. Pealiskleit valmistati brokaatkangast, aluskleit sametist
ja alusseelik puuvillasest kangast.
Kleidid konstrueeriti M.Müller & Sohn süsteemi järgi ning moekohaste lõigete valmistamisel
tugineti kunstniku kavandile ning teistele kleitidele. Alusseeliku lõige valmistati koonilise
seelikuna. Tehnoloogilisel töötlemisel oli tähtis arvestada, et lavastust mängitakse mitu
hooaega järjest ja kostüüme peab saama kergesti korrigeerida vastavalt laulja figuuri
muutustele. Selle jaoks jäeti laiemad õmblusvarud, mis äärestati eraldi ning triigiti lahku.
Vooder äärestati põhimaterjaliga kokku ning käeaugukaar ja kaelakaar õmmeldi kõigepealt
puhtaks ja alles seejärel õmmeldi küljeõmblus kokku. Rüüsile jäeti krookniit sisse, et
vajadusel saaks seeliku pikkust muuta. Toote valmistamisel tuli arvestada ka
istuvusproovidega.
Peale kostüümi valmimist muudeti teatris käsitsi paberile tehtud lõiked digitaalseks, et
lihtsustada tehnilise paljunduse ja paigutuste tegemist. Materjalide kulu leidmiseks
koostati arvutis paigutused valminud kostüümi kohta. Pealiskleidi põhimaterjali kulus 3,6
m ja voodrit 0,6 m, aluskleidi põhimaterjali kulus 4,67 m ja alusseeliku põhimaterjali 4,33
m. Lisaks näidati tabeli kujul lisamaterjalide, furnituuri ja niitide kulu.
Töö lõppu lisati kokkuvõtlikud tootekaardid kõige tähtsama infoga iga kostüümikomplekti
osa kohta ja valmistoodete mõõtude tabelid. Lõputöö kirjaliku osaga anti ülevaate
kostüümi valmimise protsessist ning selle kaudu loodi tehniline dokumentatsioon tuleviku
tarbeks, kui naiskoori peaks uusi liikmeid tulema, kellele on samasuguseid kostüüme vaja.
Laulja, kellele lõputöö käigus kostüüm valmistati, jäi komplektiga väga rahule, tema sõnul
oli sellega mugav esineda ning istus seljas hästi.
Lõputöö eesmärk sai täidetud, kostüüm valmis õigeks ajaks, nägi laval ilus välja ning oli
teiste kleitidega samasugune.The purpose of this graduation thesis Development of a Costume for the Estonian National
Opera’s “Jeanne d’Arc” is to make a costume for a new member of the female choir.
“Jeanne d’Arc” is an operatic dramma lirico by Giuseppe Verdi, based upon the play “ ie
Jun frau von Orléans” by Friedrich Schiller.
„Jeanne d’Arc“ was to be played in the theatre for the second season during the completion
of the thesis. The female choir had a new singer, but there was no suitable costume for
the new member due to her height. For the graduation thesis, a costume is developed
specifically for that one singer, using already existing costumes as examples. The thesis
provides an overview of the costume making process and creates a technical description
for future use, if the female choir should gain new members in need of the same costume.
The graduation thesis is composed of six chapters, each of them dealing with a different
phase of costume development.
Chapter 1 is introductory and describes the planning of the costume. The chapter is
subdivided into three parts: part 1 introduces Estonian National Opera and explains the
purpose of the costume department, part 2 gives a short overview of the opera “Jeanne
d’Arc” and part 3 describes the principles of the design of the costume. It includes detailed
description of the costume and information about necessary materials.
Chapter 2 describes the base bodice pattern drafting, making of the basic patterns and
design patterns. The chapter consists of three parts. Part 1 describes the chosen pattern
making method, part 2 shows necessary measurements, detailed instructions on pattern
drafting and visuals on basic patterns and design patterns. This part also shows the
specifications done to pattern pieces to ensure that the edges of the pieces are smooth.
Part 3 explains the pattern making for the underskirt.
Chapter 3 focuses on technological processing of the costume. The chapter is subdivided
into three parts, where technical sectional drawings and step-by-step sewing processes
are presented for all pieces of the costume.
Chapter 4 concentrates on the making of original pattern pieces and their grading schemes.
The chapter consists of two parts: the first part shows illustrations of pattern pieces with
seam allowances and the second part shows illustrations of grading schemes.
Chapter 5 describes material consumption. The chapter is subdivided in two: the first part
shows illustrations of lay plans for the costume and fabric usage efficiency; the second part
consists of tables of material consumption and calculations of thread usage.

Conclusive technical cards of the costume are presented in chapter 6 along with the
measurement charts of the finished garments. Technical drawings from the front and back
are presented.
Programmes used in the making of the thesis are Lectra Modaris V8R5, Marker Manager
V6R2, Marker Making V6R2, Kaledo Style V4R1 and Adobe Illustrator.
The main aim of the graduation thesis has been reached. The costume was finished on
time, it looked beautiful on the stage and most importantly, it fitted the singer well and
looked like the other costumes in the choir

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.
