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
Representation of education in history books from cities in Minas Gerais (1910-1971)
No full textBuscando compreender uma lacuna existente na pesquisa em História da Educação no Brasil, em relação ao uso de livros de histórias de cidades como fontes privilegiadas para o estudo e pesquisa na área, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar de que maneira a educação e a escola estão representadas nos livros de histórias de cidades do Estado de Minas Gerais, no período compreendido entre 1910 e 1971. As obras foram escolhidas a partir de um levantamento em 12 mil obras da Coleção Mineiriana da Biblioteca do Instituto Cultural Amílcar Martins ICAM, em Belo Horizonte, MG. Como opção metodológica, foram separados os municípios que são polos das 66 microrregiões mineiras, na tentativa de cobrir parte representativa de todo o Estado de Minas. De todas as obras elencadas que narravam as histórias destes municípios, separou-se as publicadas até 1971, ano da promulgação da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional, n. 5692/71, que extinguiu a modalidade grupos escolares e inaugurou uma nova fase na educação pública brasileira. O livro mais antigo encontrado na Biblioteca do ICAM data de 1910. Foram, ainda, organizadas as obras que citavam, de alguma maneira, a história da educação no município, as escolas, os sujeitos da educação, ou que contivessem menção à educação. Desta maneira, foram analisadas nesta pesquisa 44 livros de histórias de cidades mineiras, que abrangem a história de 26 municípios. O referencial teórico básico que norteou este trabalho foi o conceito de representação de Roger Chartier (2002). O estudo foi organizado em três grandes movimentos. No primeiro, buscou-se compreender a materialidade das obras, esquadrinhando os livros, em relação às datas de publicação, tamanho (em número de páginas), dedicatórias, homenagens e agradecimentos, análise dos sumários e índices e das referências e bibliografias, além de uma análise das imagens das capas dos livros e dos títulos dos mesmos. No segundo movimento, buscou-se compreender quem são os autores dos livros, suas vidas e profissões, as motivações para escrever as obras, e as relações que eles estabeleceram com os leitores, com suas cidades e com seu próprio texto, além de uma análise do processo editorial vivenciado por eles. Enfim, no terceiro movimento, foram analisadas as representações de educação e escolas, refletindo sobre como a escola e seus processos estão ligados à história das cidades. A cidade e a escola se constroem juntas, uma interferindo substancialmente no cotidiano da outra.The purpose of this study is to analyze how education and schools are portrayed in history books from cities in the state of Minas Gerais between 1910 and 1971. This study is looking to understand the gap in researches in the area of history of Education in Brazil in relation to the use of history books from cities as favored sources for study and research in the area. The material was selected among 12,000 books from Coleção Mineiriana at the Instituto Amílcar Martins Library ICAM, in Belo Horizonte, MG, where the oldest book dated back to 1910. As a methodology, the main cities in the 66 micro-regions of the state were separated attempting to cover important areas of Minas Gerais. The works that referred to the history of cities up to 1971 were separated, when a new moment in the Brazilian education started when the law 5692/71 (Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional) was introduced. Also, works quoting, in any manner, the history of education in a city, schools, subjects of education or any other topic related to education were organized. The total of 44 books involving the history of 26 cities were analyzed based on the Concept of Representation developed by Roger Chartier (2002) and organized in three key moments. The first moment tries to understand the books in relation to frequency and dates of publication, size (number of pages), acknowledgement and tribute, summary, index, references, cover and title. The second one concerns the authors, lives and professions, motivation and the relationship developed with the readers and texts, the cities where they lived along with an analysis of the publishing process they faced. And finally, in the third moment, the representations of education and schools presented by the books, taking into consideration how the school and its processes are related to the cities are analyzed. The institution of the city and the school are built together, in a way that one interferes significantly with the other
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.
