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
Astroturismo: proposta de um roteiro para observar as estrelas e outros corpos celestes
Get PDFA crescente procura de novos destinos, experiências e culturas diferentes, bem
como a necessidade de contacto com o património natural e cultural e a vontade de
vivenciar momentos únicos e inovadores são as principais caraterísticas do turismo nos
dias de hoje. Vinculado ao turismo de natureza, ao turismo de experiência e ao turismo
científico, o astroturismo aparece como uma prática recente de turismo em destinos de
céus com pouca contaminação luminosa. Esta modalidade combina recreação, ócio e
conhecimento astronómico com a consciência da importância do resguardo do céu
noturno, atraindo turistas que valorizam a natureza nos lugares que visitam. Como
consequência do crescimento acelerado da contaminação luminosa, verifica-se um
aumento da procura de espaços com céus de alta qualidade para a contemplação do
cosmos tanto por profissionais e astrónomos amadores como por amantes da astronomia
e da natureza.
Este projeto pretende conceber um modelo de negócios baseado na metodologia
Canvas e analisar a viabilidade financeira do desenvolvimento de uma oferta de produtos
e serviços astroturísticos, alinhado com os pilares estratégicos definidos na Estratégia do
Setor do Turismo da Região Autónoma da Madeira do período 2022–2027.
Prevê a conceptualização de uma proposta turística, que inclua a observação da
Via Láctea, o contacto com natureza e a divulgação da relação que existe entre a
astronomia e a nossa história como povo navegante, como uma forma de dar resposta à
necessidade de diversificar e reforçar a competitividade da Ilha da Madeira como destino
insular, atraindo novos nichos de mercado e fidelizando os turistas atuais.
Foi seguida a estrutura habitual de um modelo e plano de negócio, com a análise
de mercado, análise setorial, definição das componentes do modelo de negócios Canvas
e do mix de marketing, apoiando uma proposta de valor diferenciada e personalizada para
atender o mercado. Por fim, efetuou-se a análise financeira que permite concluir a
viabilidade e interesse de um empreendimento desta natureza, considerando-se pertinente
a sua implementação.The growing demand for new destinations, experiences and different cultures, as
well as the need for contact with natural and cultural heritage and the desire to experience
unique and innovative moments are the main characteristics of tourism today. Linked to
nature tourism, experiential tourism and scientific tourism, astrotourism appears to be a
recent tourism practice in destinations with skies with little light pollution. It combines
recreation, leisure and astronomical knowledge with an awareness of the importance of
protecting the night sky, attracting tourists who value nature in the places they visit. As a
result of the accelerated growth in light pollution, there has been an increase in demand
for spaces with high-quality skies for contemplating the cosmos, both by professionals
and amateur astronomers, as well as by astronomy and nature lovers.
This project aims to design a business model based on the Canvas methodology
and analyse the financial viability of developing a range of astro-tourism products and
services, in line with the strategic pillars defined in the 2022-2027 Tourism Sector
Strategy for the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
It envisages the conceptualisation of a tourism proposal that includes observation
of the Milky Way, contact with nature and the dissemination of the relationship between
astronomy and our history as a navigating people, as a way of responding to the need to
diversify and strengthen Madeira Island's competitiveness as an island destination,
attracting new market niches and retaining the loyalty of current tourists.
The usual structure of a business model and plan was followed, with market
analysis, sector analysis, definition of the components of the Canvas business model and
the marketing mix, supporting a differentiated and personalized value proposition to serve
the market. Finally, a financial analysis was carried out, which led to the conclusion that
a venture of this nature is viable and worthwhile, and that it should be implemented
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

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.
