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

No full textJornandes rileyi, new species Figures 3, 10A, 30 HOLOTYPE: ♀, MEXICO: Baja California Sur: 14.4 mi E on Ramal a Los Naranjo [23.25661 ° N 109.91648 ° W, 1101 m], IX-16- 88, E. G. Riley, black light (AMNH _ PBI 00184928). Department of Entomology, Texas A & M University, College Station, Texas. DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by body, including antennae and legs, shining reddish fuscous to black except for pale band extending across posterior margin of pronotum (fig. 3); frons rounded; vertex clearly wider than length of antennal segment I; labium reaching mesocoxa or slightly beyond; width of pronotum greater than length of antennal segment II; robust with costal margins of hemelytron curved; metepisternum dorsal to evaporative area of scent gland with microtrichia. DESCRIPTION: Male: COLORATION: Generally dark reddish fuscous to black with posterior margin of pronotum almost white. Corium appearing brown in translucent areas but dark fuscous or black as seen from side. Underside, antennae, labium, and legs reddish fuscous to black. VESTITURE: Head, pronotum, and corium shining with widely scattered, short, inconspicuous, darkcolored setae; setae on antennal segments II– IV semierect and not significantly longer than diameter of respective segments; decumbent setae on underside of abdomen denser and longer. GENITALIA (fig. 30): Genital segment with single small, pointed tergal process projecting from midline of dorsal margin of aperture; ventroposterior margin of capsule flangelike with medial cleft, distal width of subgenital plate narrow, projecting strongly dorsal to aperture of capsule. Left paramere C-shaped in dorsal view; without sensory lobe; diameter of paramere gradually expanded distally to mittenlike apex. Right paramere larger than left paramere; with long, narrow, strongly attenuate sensory lobe and paramere body, apices minutely serrate. Phallotheca elongate, cone shaped, equal to length of spiculum; aperture wide, open on right side, dorsal margin, and apex. Vesica with one long, medially thickened spiculum, situated on dorsal surface of ductus seminis; apical region of spiculum recurved, attenuate, strongly serrate, distal region almost 1/3 length of spiculum; base of spiculum with large process reaching to 1/2 length of main body of spiculum more distal to smaller flattened rectangular basal process. Females: Slightly larger than males; color and vestiture as for male. MEASUREMENTS: Male (n 5 2): Length, 2.40 and 2.70; width, 1.30 and 1.56. Head length, 0.24 and 0.26; width, 0.72 and 0.80; vertex width, 0.36 and 0.38. Length of antennal segment I, 0.24 (remaining segments missing). Pronotal length, 0.56 and 0.68; width across base, 1.10 and 1.30. Cuneal length, 0.48 and 0.52; width across base, 0.48 and 0.50. (AMNH_PBI 00118211); scale 5 0.20 mm. Female (n 5 4; those of holotype given first followed in parentheses by average and range): Length, 2.64 (2.74, 2.64–2.80); width, 1.80 (all). Head length, 0.24 (0.24, 0.20–0.25); width; 0.84 (0.83, 0.80–0.84); vertex width, 0.42 (0.42, 0.40–0.42). Length of antennal segment I, 0.28 (0.24, 0.22–0.28); II, 0.84 (single paratype, 0.80); III, 0.54 (holotype only); IV, missing. Pronotal length 0.80 (0.76, 0.64–0.80); width across base, 1.36 (1.34, 1.30–1.38). Cuneal length, 0.54, 0.54, 0.50– 0.58); width across base, 0.50 (0.50, 0.48– 0.50). DISCUSSION: The unique color pattern distinguishes this species from all others of the genus. The reddish fuscous to black pronotum has a whitish broad band along the posterior margin. Curiously, the same distinctive color pattern is exhibited by some specimens of Scalponotatus albibasis (Knight), which occurs in southwestern U. S. and northwestern Mexico. The typical Jornandes type of sculpturing is easily seen, whereas S. albibasis has a roughened dorsum. All specimens were collected into alcohol at light. No setae were present on the hemelytral membrane. This is the only known species of Jornandes occurring in Baja California Sur. A female was selected as holotype because it was better preserved than any of the three available males. HOST PLANT: Unknown. ETYMOLOGY: Named for E. G. Riley from Texas A&M University who collected all the specimens of this species. DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type series from Baja California Sur (fig. 10A). PARATYPES: MEXICO: Baja California Sur: 14.4 mi E on Ramal a Los Naranjos, 23.25661 ° N 109.91648 ° W, 1101 m, 16 Sep 1988, E. G.

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.
