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

Processen kring budgivning: Krav på bifogat lånelöfte
No full textIdag finns det få restriktioner i Sverige gällande budgivningsprocessen och det finns en del anmälningar mot mäklare där de ansetts brustit i sin hantering av god fastighetsmäklarsed samt sin opartiskhet. Budgivning är oreglerad i lag och följer främst praxis och förarbeten. Det leder till att det är svårt för mäklaren att veta hur denne ska hantera processen för att agera opartiskt och hand i hand med god fastighetsmäklarsed som gör båda parter i förmedlingen nöjda. För att göra budgivningen mer trovärdig används anbudsförteckningen som den slutliga köparen sedan får tillgång till. Trots att man införde anbudsförteckning finns det fortfarande problem gällande förtroendet i budgivningen i form av lånelöfte och låneklausuler. Genom praxis och förarbeten har vissa restriktioner gällande budgivningen framkommit, bland annat att det är olagligt att ha med budintervall i budgivningen och att mäklaren måste vidarebefordra alla bud till säljaren. Budintervall är olagligt på grund av att det strider mot mäklarens opartiskhet eftersom det endast är till fördel för säljaren.Studien undersöker huruvida man kunnat underlätta processen kring budgivning och dess problem om opartiskhet. Genom flera rättsfall har det framkommit att lånelöfte är ett problem både ur mäklarmässig men även köpar- och säljarmässig synvinkel. Det är mäklarens uppgift att undersöka huruvida köparen har den finansiering som behövs för att fullfölja förmedlingen och om mäklaren misstänker att köparen inte har det så ska denne verka för att ta med en återgångsklausul i kontraktet. Det är däremot lättare sagt än gjort eftersom det ändå uppstått problem med ofullständiga kontrakt samt när mäklaren inte verkat för att ta med en låneklausul i kontraktet fullt ut. Det är därmed en viss problematik när mäklaren ansetts ha gjort tillräckligt för att verka för en låneklausul eller ej.Lånelöfte är också ett problem ur en köparmässig situation då denne inte bör ingå kontrakt utan att ha ett fullständigt lånelöfte från namngiven bank. Vidare har det framkommit från rättsfall att köpare har suttit i en situation där de efter bindande kontrakt inte har kunnat finansiera köpet. Det har i sin tur inneburit att säljaren har suttit med ett bindande kontrakt och behövt kräva köparen på skadestånd för kontraktsbrottet. Genom att använda sig av ett krav där bifogat lånelöfte krävs för att vara med i budgivningen kan det underlätta dessa typer4av problem. Det leder till att det minskar risken att köparen blir skadeståndsskyldig då denne har finansieringen som behövs för det specifika objektet, och säljaren är inte fast med ett bindande kontrakt utan finansiering.There are few restrictions in Sweden today regarding the bidding process and there are some reports against brokers where they are considered to have failed in their handling of good real estate broker custom and their impartiality. Bidding in unregulated by law and mainly follows practices and preliminary work. This means that it is difficult for the broker to know how to handle the process of acting impartially and hand i hand with good real estate brokerage which makes both parties in the intermediation satisfied. In order to make the bidding more credible, the list of bids is used, which the final buyer can then access. Despite the introduction of a list of bids, there are still problems regarding confidence in bidding in the form of loan pledge and loan clauses. Through practices and preliminary work, certain restrictions regarding bidding have emerged, including that it its illegal to include bidding range and that the broker must forward all bids to the seller. Bid range is illegal because it violates the broker’s impartiality as it is only for the benefit of the seller.The study examines whether it is possible to facilitate the process of bidding and its problems of impartiality that it encountered. Through several legal cases, it has emerged that loan promise is a problem both from a broker’s point of view, but also from a buyer and seller’s point of view. It is the broker’s task to investigate whether the buyer has the financing needed to complete the intermediation and if the broker suspects that the buyer does not have it, he should work to include a return clause in the contract. However, this is easier said than done since problems with incomplete contract have nevertheless arisen and when the broker has not worked to fully include a loan clause in the contract. It is thus a certain problem when the broker is considered to have done enough to work for a loan clause or not.Loan pledge is also a problem from a buyer-related situation as you should not enter into a contract without having a full loan pledge from a namned bank. Furthermore, is has emerged from legal cases that buyers have been in a situationer where, after binding contract, they have not been able to finance the purchase. This in turn has meant that the seller has signed a binding contract and had to claim the buyer for damages for the breach of contract. Using a requirement where the attached loan pledge is required to participate in bidding can facilitate2these types of problems. This means that it reduces the risk that the buyer will be liable for damages as he has the financing needed for the specific object, and the seller is not stuck with a binding contract without financing
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.
