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
The influence of surrealism on Guy Bourdin´s fashion photography
No full textAls Modefotograf der Vogue Paris und des legendären Schuhherstellers Charles Jourdan hat Guy Bourdin sein Genre von den 50ern bis in die 80er Jahre geprägt. War er einer der Ersten, die das Dogma des Reklametraums gebrochen und schockierend provokante Werbung gemacht haben, steht sein Name heute für einen Paradigmenwechsel in diesem Fach. Obwohl Bourdin den Kreis der Mode- und Werbefotografie seit Jahrzehnten inspiriert, gibt es wenig Fachliteratur, die sich seiner Arbeit widmet, und Bourdin ist, alles in allem, eine nach wie vor viel zu wenig beachtete künstlerische Persönlichkeit. - Als Modefotograf hat Bourdin, der leidenschaftlich zeichnete und malte und zuerst vor allem dafür Anerkennung finden wollte, viele künstlerische Einflussquellen genutzt. Dem Surrealismus kommt hierbei eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Ihm und seinem Einfluss auf Bourdins Arbeit ist dieser Text gewidmet. Als besonderer Bezugsrahmen dient dabei weniger das Feld der surrealistischen Fotografie, vielmehr bilden spezifische inhaltliche und formale Qualitäten, die den surrealistischen Kunstausdruck der 20er bis 30er Jahre generell in seinem Wesen geprägt haben, den Fokus für die Auseinandersetzung mit Bourdins Werk. - Der Begründer des Surrealismus, André Breton, hat schon früh auf die Vorbildfunktion des Traumbilds für die surrealistische Kunstproduktion und Revolte verwiesen und dieses für seinen nonkonformen Charakter gefeiert. Breton begeisterten die kausale Inkonsistenz und freie Imagination des Traumbilds genauso wie dessen überraschende und übertriebene Wesenszüge. Als unzensierter Vermittler unterdrückter unbewusster Bedürfnisse wurde das Traumbild aber auch für seine Tabu brechenden und verstörenden Inhalte geschätzt. Im Hinblick auf ihre beispielgebende Funktion sind es die genannten Qualitäten, die den Bezugsrahmen für die vorliegende Analyse bilden und als Hintergrund für die detaillierte Auseinandersetzung mit Guy Bourdins Modefotografie dienen.Shooting fashion spreads and ad campaigns for French Vogue and legendary shoe designer Charles Jourdan, Guy Bourdin significantly formed the field of fashion photography from the 1950s to the 1980s. As he was among the first to break with the old dogma of pleasant product presentation to create shockingly provocative ads instead, Bourdin´s work nowadays marks a paradigmatic change within the subject. Despite the fact that Bourdin has been inspiring closer circles of commercial photography for decades now, the amount of literature dedicated to his work is rather small. As an artistic personality Guy Bourdin has, all in all, remained relatively unnoticed. Seeking to gain recognition as a painter and graphic artist at first, Bourdin used to nourish his photographic work by tapping all kinds of inspirational sources, surrealism being one of central importance. Its influence on Bourdin´s work is what this thesis is focusing on and trying to grasp, not with preferential reference to surrealistic photography, but with regard to specific aspects of content and form that were determining surrealistic expression of the 1920s and 1930s in general. Celebrating the nonconformist character of the oneiric image, André Breton, the founding father of surrealism, had very early referred to it as a model for surrealistic image production and revolt. He was captured by its causal inconsistency, untamed imaginative qualities as well as surprising and exaggerated character. As an uncensored conveyor of repressed unconscious needs the oneiric image, moreover, was held up for its disturbing and taboo-breaking content. With regard to their exemplary function, these qualities constitute the frame of reference for this analysis and serve as a background for the detailed study of Bourdin´s fashion photography.vorgelegt von Maria SchnuttAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersGraz, Univ., Dipl.-Arb., 2013Zsfassung in dt. u. engl.

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.
