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

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.

A mobilização quilombola no Ceará e os efeitos do processo de territorialização: do reconhecimento à implementação de políticas públicas
No full textO objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os efeitos do processo de territorialização sobre
a população quilombola no Estado do Ceará a partir da Constituição de 1988 que
reconheceu, pela primeira vez, direitos para os remanescentes de quilombo. O
trabalho pretende responder aos seguintes questionamentos: 1) quais os impactos
do processo de territorialização sobre os quilombolas no Ceará? 2) como esta
população começou a ganhar visibilidade no Estado? 3) como as mudanças na
legislação federal afetam a dinâmica das políticas públicas para os quilombolas no
Ceará?; e, finalmente, 4) como as lideranças quilombolas começaram a se organizar
para terem acesso a estas políticas? Os dados que serão utilizados foram obtidos
por quatro fontes distintas, a saber: 1) pesquisa documental realizada no Instituto
Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária (INCRA-CE), na Secretaria de
Educação (SEDUC), na Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Agrário (SDA), na
Coordenadoria Especial de Políticas Públicas para a Promoção da Igualdade Racial
(CEPPIR) e nos sites oficiais da FCP, da SEPPIR e do MEC; 2) pesquisas
acadêmicas que estudaram direta ou indiretamente as comunidades quilombolas no
Ceará; 3) registros de campo realizados durante participação em eventos e reuniões
com técnicos e lideranças quilombolas promovidas pela SEDUC e pela CEPPIR
durante os anos de 2014 e 2015; e 4) Entrevistas semi-estruturadas com técnicos da
INCRA, SEDUC, SDA e CEPPIR e com algumas lideranças quilombolas. A pesquisa
demonstra como o processo de territorialização sobre os quilombolas no Ceará
resultou na implementação de políticas públicas para esta população a partir de
2005, bem como na organização política de lideranças quilombolas que passaram a
desenvolver ações para acessar as mesmas. Palavras-chave: Etinicidade. Quilombola. Políticas Públicas. Territorialização.The objective of this work is to analyze the effects of the process of territorialization
on the quilombola population in the State of Ceará from the Constitution of 1988 -
that recognized, for the first time, rights for the "remnants of quilombo". The paper
intends to answer the following questions: 1) what are the impacts of the
territorialization process on the quilombolas in Ceará? 2) How did this population
begin to gain visibility in the state? 3) how do changes in federal legislation affect the
dynamics of public policies for quilombolas in Ceará ?; and, finally, 4) how did the
quilombola leadership begin to organize themselves to have access to these
policies? The data that will be used were obtained from four different sources,
namely: 1) documentary research carried out at the National Institute of Colonization
and Agrarian Reform (INCRA-CE), the Secretariat of Education (SEDUC), the
Department of Agrarian Development (SDA) , the Special Coordination of Public
Policies for the Promotion of Racial Equality (CEPPIR) and the official websites of the
FCP, SEPPIR and MEC; 2) academic research studies that directly or indirectly
studied the quilombola communities in Ceará; 3) field records made during
participation in events and meetings with quilombolas leaders and technicians
promoted by SEDUC and CEPPIR during the years 2014 and 2015; and 4) semistructured interviews with technicians from INCRA, SEDUC, SDA and CEPPIR and
with some quilombola leaders. The research demonstrates how the process of
territorialization on the quilombolas in Ceará resulted in the implementation of public
policies for this population as of 2005, as well as in the political organization of
quilombolas leaders who began to develop actions to access them. Keywords: Etinicity. Quilombola. Public policy. Territorialization.</div
