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
The Saint Domnius cathedral in Split : A study of the cathedrals development from the early middle ages to the late middle ages
No full textThis essay, The Saint Domnius cathedral in Split, is written with the intention to examine the Sankt Domnius cathedral. By examining the cathedral and the contemporary historic contexts in the Croatian region of Dalmatia from the antique period up to the 13th century middle ages, the study shows how the process of change due to the historic contexts is visible on the cathedral building itself. The main questions in this study are: how has the early Christians community’s relationship to the antique legacy and the antique remains influenced the building of Saint Domnius cathedral between the early and high middle age periods? Which historic contexts can have influenced the Christian community’s relationship to the antique legacy and the antique remains? To answer these questions this study has done a detailed description of the relevant historic events and people in the region of Dalmatia. The study has also showed relevant earlier study’s made on the campanile of Saint Domnius cathedral and the sphinxes found in the nearby area and the history and documentation of restorations made on the original mausoleum building that today is the Saint Domnius cathedral. A field study has also been made at the cathedral that revealed multiply carved crosses and names on the outside walls. The conclusion of the study shows that the antique legacy and ancient remains of Emperor Diocletian’s palace was regarded with hatred and forbidden by the early Christian community from the 4th to 5th century. The early Christians showed their hatred for Diocletian by destroying antique material that contained a symbolic meaning. This was an act of revenge from the Christian community for the prosecution that Diocletian had brought upon the Christians at the beginning of the 4th century. The revenge resulted in the destruction of Diocletian’s sarcophagus and the sphinxes that represented his honour and status. The walls on his mausoleum also got carved with crosses. From the 5th until the 7th century the palace was abounded because of escalating threats in the area. This resulted in the preservation of the palace and the mausoleum. When the palace once again got inhabited in the 7th century the Christian community did probably not regard the once hated antique remains with content. The reason for this can be that the people had simply forgotten the symbolic meaning behind the remains and regarded it only as decorative remains. Besides this, the Croatians that had immigrated to the area at the same time showed a dominated position in the region. The Croatian were mostly pagan until the 9th century and therefore they may have lacked the sympathy for the early Christians prosecution. At the same time the mausoleum was turned in to a cathedral, the building was probably chosen because of its central position and it’s already exclusive furnishing and material it contained. The reason why I don’t believe this was an act of revenge was as stated above, the ignorance of the remains true symbolic meaning and the dominant pagan Croatians influence in the region. However they also left a central motif of Diocletian unharmed in the new converted cathedral. The middle ages continued with periods of greatness for the Croatian people, they formed the kingdom of Croatia and expanded the borders. When a feud with the kingdom of Hungary about the rights to the crown ended with the defeat for the Croats in the 12th century, they were forced in to a political union with Hungary. The Croats lost their independence and developed a yearning for their once dominant position in this part of Europe. They manifested this yearning by building the campanile at Sankt Domnius cathedral. The campanile was finished at the 13th century and displayed consciously selected symbolic material that linked the Croatians prehistory to the antique prehistory in the region. The campanile became a monument that showcased the Croatian identity.Den här uppsatsen, Sankt Domnius katedralen i Split, är skriven i syftet att undersöka Sankt Domnius katedralen. Genom att undersöka katedralen och den samtida historiska kontexten i den kroatiska regionen Dalmatien, från den antika perioden fram till medeltiden på 1200-talet. Visar studien hur förändringsprocessen från de historiska kontexterna är synliga på katedralbyggnaden. Huvudfrågorna inom denna studie är: Hur har de tidigt kristna samhällets relation till det antika arvet och de antika lämningarna influerat Sankt Domnius katedralen mellan de tidiga och högmedeltida perioderna? Vilka historiska kontexter kan ha influerat de kristna samhällets relation till det antika arvet och antika lämningarna? För att besvara dessa frågor har denna studie gjort en detaljerad beskrivning av relevanta historiska event och människor från den dalmatiska regionen. Studien har även framfört tidigare relevanta studier som gjorts på Sankt Domnius kampanil och sfinxarna som hittats i närheten av området runt katedralen. Studien uppmärksammar även historien och dokumentationen av de tidigare restaureringsarbetena som untgörts på den ursprungliga mausoleum byggnaden som idag är Sankt Domnius katedralen. En fältstudie har även gjorts på katedralen som påvisa ett flertal inristade kors och inritade namn på katedralens ytterväggar. Studiens slutsats visar att det antika arvet och de antika lämningarna av kejsare Diocletianus palats var betraktat med hat och förbjöds av det tidigt kristna samhället från 300-talet till 400-talet. De tidiga kristna visade sitt hat för Diocletianus genom att förstöra antikt material som innehade en symbolisk mening. Det var en hämnd från det kristna samhället för den förföljelse som Diocletianus hade utfört på de kristna i början av 300-talet. De kristnas hämnd resulterade i förstörelsen av Diocletianus sarkofag och sfinxarna som representerade hans heder och status. Väggarna till hans mausoleum blev även inristade med kors. Från 400-talet fram till 600-talet blev Diocletianus palats övergivet pga. eskalerade militära hot i området. Detta resulterade i att palatset och Diocletianus mausoleum preserverades. När palatset återigen befolkades på 600-talet behandlades troligtviss inte de antika lämningarna länge med förakt av det kristna samhället. Anledningen till detta kan ha varit att människorna glömt bort den symboliska meningen i lämningarna och betraktade den endast som dekorativa material. Förutom detta så hade kroaterna som immigrerade till om rådet vid denna tid visat en dominerad position i regionen. Kroaterna bestod till stor del av hedningar fram till 800-talet och de kan därför ha saknat sympati för den kristna förföljelsen. Vid denna tid transformerades mausoleum byggnaden till en katedral, byggnaden valdes troligtviss pga. den centrala position som den befann sig i och den redan exklusiva inredningen och material som fanns inuti. Anledningen till att jag inte tror att valet att konvertera Diocletianus mausoleum till en katedral inte var en hämnds aktion är som jag nämnde tidigare, okunskapen av de antika lämningarnas sanna betydelse och den dominanta hedniska kroatiska influensen i regionen. Ett centralt motiv av Diocletianus som lämnades kvar orörd i den nya konverterade katedralen. Medeltiden fortsatte med perioder av storhet för det kroatiska folket, de formade Kungariket Kroatien och expanderade sina gränser. När en fejd med Kungariket Ungern om rättigheterna till tronen slutade med en förlust för kroaterna på 1100-talet, tvingades de att ingå i en politisk union med Ungern. Kroaterna förlorade sin självständighet och utvecklade en nationalromantisk längtan till deras forna dominerade position i denna del av Europa. De manifesterade sin längtan genom att bygga kampanilen vid Sankt Domnius katedralen. Kampanilen stod klar på 1200-talet och uppvisade medvetna val av symboliskt material som sammankopplade den kroatiska förhistorian till den antika förhistorian i regionen. Kampanilen blev ett monument som uppvisade den kroatiska identiteten.

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.
