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
La personne selon Paul Ricoeur : une institution narrative
Full text linkLa philosophie de Paul Ricoeur porte essentiellement sur un sujet, le sujet par excellence : l’être humain. À travers son approche, grandement inspirée par la phénoménologie et l’herméneutique, Ricoeur propose des solutions conciliatoires aux dialectiques qui s’opposent. Au volontaire et à l’involontaire humain, il pense le concept de personne. Aux temps phénoménologique et cosmologique, il avance la notion de temps humain. Finalement, aux deux formes de l’identité personnelle, Idem et Ipse, il propose la théorie de l’identité narrative en tant que principe unificateur. Cette théorie est le centre de gravité de toute sa philosophie et son rôle au sein du débat sur l’identité personnelle s’est vu prendre beaucoup d’importance au cours des dernières décennies. L’objet de ce mémoire de recherche est donc d’analyser, d’expliciter, et de comprendre en quoi consiste la théorie de l’identité narrative de Paul Ricoeur. Pour ce faire, nous l’expliquons notamment à l’aide des termes de la lexicologie parfitienne, à savoir le réductionnisme, le non-réductionnisme et le fait supplémentaire. Or, nous démontrons que le fait supplémentaire, au sein de la théorie narrativiste, est le sujet sémiotique, le « Je » du langage. De plus, à partir de ce sujet langagier, nous analysons la distinction entre les deux cadres interprétatifs de l’identité personnelle : les cadres naturaliste et non-naturaliste. Nous concluons que Ricoeur observe la personne à l’aide d’un cadre institutionnaliste, ce qui nous permet d’affirmer que la personne, aux yeux du philosophe français, est une institution narrative. Finalement, nous terminons cette recherche en présentant les fondements ontologiques de la théorie de l’identité narrative, qui se trouvent sur deux axes principaux : le dynamisme et le dualisme. Ainsi, nous explicitons ces principes à l’aide de la théorie des processus généraux et de la théorie des trois mondes. Somme toute, l’objectif de ce mémoire est de présenter, de manière très détaillée, en quoi consiste la théorie de l’identité narrative de Paul Ricoeur, sur quel fondement ontologique elle se pose et à travers quel cadre interprétatif elle explique ce qu’est une personne.Paul Ricoeur’s philosophy is essentially focused around one subject, the subject by excellence : the human being. Through his approach, greatly inspired by phenomenology and hermeneutics, Ricoeur proposes conciliatory solutions to dialectics that oppose each other. To the human concepts of « Volontaire » (voluntary) and « Involontaire » (involuntary), he thinks the person. In regards to phenomenological and cosmological time, he defends the notion of a human time. Finally, to the two forms of personal identity, Idem et Ipse, he proposes the theory of narrative identity as a unifying principle. This theory is the center of gravity of all his philosophy and its role within the debate concerning personal identity has taken considerable importance over the last few decades. The object of this research memoir is thus to analyze, explicit, and understand Paul Ricoeur’s theory of narrative identity. To do so, we notably explain it with the help of Parfit’s lexicology, terms such as reductionnism, non-reductionnism, and the further fact. In fact, we domonstrate that the further fact, within the narrativist theory, is the semiotic subject, the “I” of language. Furthermore, from this linguistic subject, we analyze the distinction between the two interpretative frames of personal identity : naturalism and non-naturalism. We conclude that Ricoeur observes the person through an institutionnalist frame, which allows us to assert that the person, in the french philosopher’s eyes, is a narrative institution. Finally, we finish this research by presenting the ontological foundations of the narrative identity theory, which revolve around two principal axes : dynamism and dualism. Thus, we explain these principles with the help of the general process theory (GPT) and the three world’s theory. Overall, the objective of this memoir is to present, in a very detailed manner, in what consists Paul Ricoeur’s narrative identity theory, on what ontological foundation it rests and through which interpretative frame does it explain what is a person
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.
