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
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
Strategic investment prioritization for green warehousing: a new matrix-based approach with simulation-based application to real cases in the retail sector
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALEQuesta tesi magistrale, sviluppata nell’ambito del progetto di ricerca italiano finanziato
dal PNRR "Centro Nazionale per la Mobilità Sostenibile (MOST) – Spoke 10 Sustainable
Logistics", analizza strategie per migliorare la sostenibilità e l’efficienza energetica
nei magazzini. Considerata la crescente incidenza del settore sui consumi energetici e
sulle emissioni, questa ricerca sviluppa un framework pratico per la prioritizzazione degli
investimenti, colmando il divario tra ricerca accademica e decisioni manageriali.
Dopo una revisione sistematica della letteratura mediante metodologia PRISMA, lo studio
identifica le migliori pratiche per il green warehousing e analizza i trend di investimento nel
settore retail. La metodologia prevede visite on-site presso magazzini reali per raccogliere
dati operativi, successivamente integrati in un approccio basato sulla simulazione. Questo
consente di generare scenari "to-be" di efficientamento energetico, utilizzati come input
per un modello di valutazione economica che risponde alle lacune di ricerca e supporta le
decisioni strategiche.
Il principale contributo di questa tesi è un nuovo framework di prioritizzazione degli investimenti
basato su una matrice decisionale, che permette di classificare le strategie di
decarbonizzazione in base all’impatto ambientale ed economico. Applicandolo a casi reali,
si supporta la transizione verso magazzini a emissioni zero.
Infine, la ricerca evidenzia i principali risultati, le implicazioni pratiche e le direzioni
future, sottolineando l’importanza della collaborazione tra accademia e industria per
l’innovazione sostenibile nella logistica.This Master’s thesis, developed within the Italian-funded PNRR research project ’Centro
Nazionale per la Mobilità Sostenibile (MOST) - Spoke 10 Sustainable Logistics’, investigates
strategies to improve sustainability and energy efficiency in warehousing. Given the
sector’s growing impact on global energy consumption and emissions, this research develops
a practical investment prioritisation framework to bridge the gap between academic
knowledge and managerial decision-making.
Following a systematic literature review using the PRISMA methodology, the study first
identifies best practices for green warehousing and then examines investment trends in the
retail sector. The methodology starts with on-site visits to logistics sites, which provide
key operational insights that are then integrated into a simulation-based approach. This
approach generates "to-be" scenarios for energy efficiency improvements, which feed into
an economic evaluation model that addresses research gaps and supports strategic investment
decisions.
The core contribution of this thesis is a new matrix-based investment prioritisation framework
that enables decision makers to rank sustainability interventions based on their environmental
and economic impacts. By applying the framework to real logistics sites,
decarbonisation strategies are evaluated to support the transition to net-zero warehouses.
Finally, the research highlights key findings, practical implications and future directions,
emphasising the importance of academic-industry collaboration for sustainable innovation
in logistics

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.
