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
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
Security at the football match of the first Slovenian football league between FC Olimpija and FC Maribor
Get PDFNa športnih prireditvah se soočamo z velikimi izzivi zagotavljanja in izvajanja varnosti, saj se dogodka udeleži več tisoč ljudi. V Sloveniji večinoma varujejo nogometne tekme zasebne varnostne službe, ki sodelujejo tudi z drugimi pristojnimi organizacijami, od policije, gasilcev, reševalcev do rediteljev. Nogometna tekma med NK Olimpijo in NK Mariborom je dogodek z visoko stopnjo tveganja, saj je na njej mogoče pričakovati hujše kršitve reda in miru, pri katerih je udeleženo večje število oseb, kršitev javnega reda ali ogrožanja varnosti ljudi. Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti obveznosti organizatorja za nemoten protokol organizacije nogometne tekme, delovanje pristojnih služb in njihovo medsebojno sodelovanje. Preverjeno je bilo mnenje anketirancev, ali imajo pristojne službe dovolj pristojnosti za opravljanje svojih nalog, katera sredstva uporabljajo za pregledovanje oseb, komu vse lahko preprečijo vstop na varovano območje, kateri so ključni predmeti, ki jih v veliki večini zaplenijo na nogometni tekmi, in kako so seznanjeni s pooblastiloma, ki sta bila sprejeta leta 2013. Največji varnostni izziv predstavljata organizirani skupini navijačev obeh nogometnih klubov, ljubljanski Green Dragonsi in mariborske Viole, saj lahko v danem trenutku spremenita potek dogodkov med tekmo v nasilne izgrede. Pooblastili, ki opisujeta prekinitev potovanja na športno prireditev in prepoved udeležbe na športni prireditvi, dosegata svoj namen oziroma se navijači organiziranih navijaških skupin zaradi posledic le-teh obnašajo drugače. Na nogometni tekmi imajo vse pristojne službe dolžnost opravljanja svojih nalog. Z organiziranimi pripravami in medsebojnim sodelovanjem zasebne varnostne službe in policije lahko v največji meri zavarujemo prireditev in se izognemo morebitnim zapletom, tveganju in nevarnosti.At sporting events, we face major challenges in ensuring and enforcing safety, as the event is attended by thousands of people. In Slovenia, football matches are mostly guarded by private security services, which also cooperate with other competent organizations, such as the police, firefighters, rescuers and directors. The football match between FC Olimpija and FC Maribor is a high-risk event, as serious breaches of law and order can be expected, involving a large number of people, breaches of public order or endangering the safety of people. The purpose of the thesis is to present the obligations of the organizer for the smooth protocol of the organization of a football match, the operation of the competent services and their mutual cooperation. We checked the opinion of the respondents whether the competent services have sufficient authority to perform their tasks, what methods they use to inspect people, who can be prevented from entering the protected area, what are the key items that are mostly confiscated at a football match and how they are familiar with powers, which were adopted in 2013. The biggest security challenge is the organized group of fans of both football clubs Ljubljana\u27s Green Dragons and Maribor\u27s Viola, as they can change the course of events during the match into violent riots at a given moment. The powers, describing the interruption of travel to a sports event and the ban on participation in a sports event, achieve their purpose, or the fans of organized fan groups behave differently due to their consequences. At a football match, all competent services have a duty to perform their duties. With organized preparations and mutual cooperation of the private security service and the police, we can insure the event to the greatest extent and avoid possible complications, risks and dangers
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.
