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
El nuevo rol de la estación de transporte en la transformación urbana
Full text linkilustraciones, diagramas, fotografías, mapas, planosEl presente documento constituye un proyecto de diseño urbano cuyo enfoque es “El desarrollo orientado al transporte sostenible” (DOTS), teniendo como área de trabajo la ciudad de Bogotá, y como temática la problemática actual en torno al planteamiento, trazado y diseño de la primera línea del sistema de transporte masivo metro. Basados en las actuales teorías “DOTS”, que ponen de presente el gran potencial de transformación urbana, inherente a la implementación de sistemas de transporte público en ciudades de países emergentes, cuyas directrices de planeamiento los han ignorado; surge la necesidad de reflexionar en torno a las oportunidades paralelas a las colosales inversiones que implican. Es por esto, que esta exploración tiene punto de partida en la escala macro (urbano territorial), evaluando la propuesta metro, desarrollada por la administración distrital (2012–2015) con una mirada crítica frente al proyecto de ciudad y la movilidad sugerida en el mismo, con el objeto de determinar la pertinencia de un modelo de ciudad basado en la relación transporte - usos del suelo, aplicable a la condición actual de Bogotá, para luego abordar la escala intermedia, propia del diseño urbano, y demostrar allí, el rol fundamental de la estación de transporte en la transformación urbana de su entorno inmediato, en la búsqueda del concepto de vida urbana de proximidad, escala humana y riqueza sensorial del espacio público. Para ello fue seleccionada como área de intervención la Carrera 10 a la altura de las calles 10 y 12, donde el proyecto de primera línea de metro, plantea la incorporación de la estación san Victorino, responsable de articular un entorno inmerso en una problemática histórica (patrimonial), urbana, ambiental y social muy compleja, y donde adicional a ello se debe integrar el nuevo sistema (metro) al ya existente BRT Transmilenio, en la búsqueda de un concepto claro de inter modalidad. En consecuencia, y apoyados en la “Teoría urbana de catalizadores”, como estrategia clave en la intervención de centros de ciudad, donde a partir de un amplio “sentido del lugar” proveniente del exhaustivo estudio de factores contextuales, se establece un programa maestro de intervención que implica la inserción de elementos urbanos, que interactúen con el contexto, desencadenando reacciones catalíticas cuyo propósito es la revitalización gradual y continua del tejido urbano. (Texto tomado de la fuente).The present document constitutes an urban design project whose focus is "Development oriented to sustainable transport" (DOTS), having as its work area the city of Bogotá, and as thematic the current problematic about the approach, layout and design of the First line mass transit system. Based on the current "DOTS" theories, which highlight the great potential for urban transformation inherent in the implementation of public transport systems in cities in emerging countries whose planning guidelines have ignored them; the need arises to reflect on the opportunities parallel to the colossal investments that they imply. It is for this reason that this exploration has a starting point in the macro scale (territorial urban), evaluating the proposed metro, developed by the district administration (2012-2015) with a critical look at the city project and the mobility suggested in the order to determine the pertinence of a city model based on the transport - land use relationship, applicable to Bogotá's current condition, and then to approach the intermediate scale, typical of urban design, and to demonstrate there the role Fundamental of the transport station in the urban transformation of its immediate surroundings, in the search for the concept of urban life of proximity, human scale and sensorial wealth of public space. Carrera 10 was selected as an intervention area at the 10th and 12th Streets, where the first metro line project proposed the incorporation of the San Victorino station, responsible for articulating an environment immersed in a historical problem (Patrimonial), urban, environmental and social very complex, and where additional to this must be integrated the new system (metro) to the existing BRT Transmilenio, in the search for a clear concept of intermodality. Consequently, and supported by the "Urban Theory of Catalysts", as a key strategy in the intervention of city centers, where a broad "sense of place" from the exhaustive study of contextual factors establishes a master program of Intervention that involves the insertion of urban elements that interact with the context, triggering catalytic reactions whose purpose is the gradual and continuous revitalization of the urban fabric.MaestríaMagíster en Diseño UrbanoArquitectura y Urbanism
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.
