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
Personalizing Environmental Issues: A Metaverse Museum to Foster Changes in Consciousness —Cultivating Global Thinking and Sharing Earth’s Narrative
Get PDF地球環境問題の進行は緊迫感を増しており、従来の科学調査、法制度改善、教育推進といったアプローチだけでなく、人々の全球的な視座に基づく行動変容が求められている。本研究では、この課題に対する一つの切り口として、「全球的思考」、すなわち地域や国境を超えて広範な視野を持てるよう人々に促す新しい形の社会デザイン、メタバースミュージアム「スペース・スマート・ミュージアム（SSM）」を使ったプロジェクトを提案する。本稿で述べる全球的思考とは、文化的な違いや、伝統的な知識、実践を無視することなく、先進国や一部の企業の利益などに傾倒しないように注意し、地球全体を俯瞰するような視点を持つ考え方である。現在のテクノロジーを活用することによって、参加者の思考を変革させうるプロジェクトが可能であると考えている。
SSMはブロックチェーンとVR技術を組み合わせ、AIによって言語障壁をなくした没入型のVRミュージアムである。さまざまな文化的背景を持つ参加者が、文化的景観やそれぞれで育まれたアートをバーチャルギャラリーで展示し、それぞれのオリジナリティやアイデンティティーを体感しながら、互いの文化や価値観を共有。対話を通じて共感し、共創が可能なプラットフォームである。そしてSSMは、「Overview Effect」―宇宙から地球を見下ろす経験―を再現し、参加者に地球全体を考慮に入れるきっかけを作る。この空間は国際宇宙ステーションと同じ軌道に設定され、リアルタイムで地球の映像を参加者と共有することで、全球的視座の育成を促進する。
このプロジェクトの目標は、先端技術を活用して全球的思考力を高め、環境問題への新たな取り組み方を検証することである。多くの人々が環境問題を「自分ごと」と捉えられるようになる基盤作りや、人々が参加意識や期待を共有できるようなストラテジーも考慮に入れる。最終的には、「自分たちの唯一の居場所＝地球」という認識が新たな行動を生む可能性を追求し、持続可能な未来に寄与する新しい道を開く。
このプロジェクトは、全球的な視座を育み、平等な新しい社会デザインとして、地球環境問題解決に一石を投じることを目標とする。その構築および運用の過程と、得られる成果は、地球上の人々の持続可能な未来を構築する上での有用な貢献となる可能性がある。The progression of global environmental problems is accelerating, and the situation requires global perspectives and behavioral changes. Traditional approaches such as scientific research, legislation, and promoting education alone are considered to be insufficient. To address this issue, this study proposes a project using the Space Smart Museum (SSM), a new form of social design and metaverse museum. SSM is designed to allow participants think globally and have broad perspectives beyond regional and national boundaries.
Global thinking in this study means a way of global thinking without ignoring cultural differences and traditional knowledge and practices. It focuses not on the benefits enjoyed by developed countries or a few businesses, but on maintaining a perspective that encompasses the entire planet. The author believes that we can create projects that can promote global thinking by participants with SSM based on state-of-the-art technologies.
The SSM is an immersive VR museum that combines blockchain and VR technology and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to eliminate language barriers. Each of the participants from a diverse cultural background can experience his or her own cultural originality and identity through a virtual art gallery in the SSM. It is also a platform for participants to share each other’s cultures and sense of value, deepening empathy and promoting joint work. The SSM is also expected to reproduce the overview effect—the experience of looking down on the earth from outer space—which encourages participants to care for the entire planet.
The goal of the SSM is to use advanced technology to raise people’s awareness of how to think globally and to explore how this awareness can contribute to solving environmental problems. Every effort will be made to build a foundation for many people to view global environmental issues as something that concerns them. Strategies to enable people to share their sense of participation and expectations will also be implemented. Ultimately, the author will pursue the possibility that the recognition of the earth as our only habitat will lead to new actions and open new paths that contribute to a sustainable future.
This study aims to foster people’s global perspectives through the SSM and test new equitable social designs. The processes of system construction and operation and results can be expected to be useful contributions to a sustainable future. Ultimately, we will pursue the possibility that the recognition that “our only habitat is the earth” will lead to new action and open new paths that contribute to a sustainable future.departmental bulletin pape
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.
