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

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.

Efektivitas Pola Tanam Dan Sistem Distribusi Bunga Pacar Di Subak Desa Singapadu Kaler
No full textThis research was conducted in subak in Singapadu Kaler Tourism Village. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the application of the planting pattern and distribution system of henna flower by farmers of henna flower, so that it can help implement an effective cropping pattern and distribution system that is applied in increasing the income of farmers who plant henna flower in Singapadu Kaler Village. Data collection is done using the method of observation, interviews, documentation, and literature. The analytical tool used for quantitative analysis techniques is a technique for analyzing data in the form of numbers using an analytical tool, in the form of: BCR Analysis (Benefit Cost Ratio) and Profit Margin Analysis, namely analysis to see the effectiveness of cropping patterns associated with the distribution system used. While for analyzing qualitative data using descriptive analysis techniques, which describe and help quantitative analysis to draw conclusions. Based on the results of the analysis, it shows that there are farmers who apply a continuous system of cropping patterns and there are those who apply an intermittent system. The cropping pattern with a continuous system is more profitable than an intermittent system. For this reason, farmers should be more effective in implementing a continuous cropping pattern with improved maintenance on fertilization and spraying of flower drugs more intensively. The distribution system applied by the henna farmers is an indirect system by selling henna flowers to agents, but not directly to consumers. This system is effective, but not optimal. After doing a comparative analysis with a direct distribution system with three different target markets, the system applied is less effective. Of the three analyzed alternatives, the direct distribution system with the hotel market target is the most effective compared to the Mambal market target and the outside Mambal market. To meet the needs of hotel targets, it is very necessary to maintain the quality of henna flowers which are always in fresh condition and the continuity of their availability that must be maintained
Penelitian ini dilakukan di subak yang ada di Desa Wisata Singapadu Kaler. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efektivitas penerapan pola tanam dan sistem distribusi bunga pacar yang dilakukan oleh para petani bunga pacar, sehingga dapat membantu menerapkan pola tanam dan sistem distribusi yang efektif yang diterapkan dalam meningkatkan pendapatan petani yang menanam bunga pacar di Desa Singapadu Kaler. Pengumpulan data yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode observasi, wawancara, dokumentasi, dan studi pustaka. Alat analisis yang digunakan untuk Teknik analisisis kuantitatif yaitu teknik untuk menganalisis data yang berupa angka dengan menggunakan alat analisis, yang berupa: Analisis BCR ( Benefit Cost Ratio ) dan Analisis Profit Margin, yaitu analisis untuk melihat efektivitas pola tanam yang dikaitkan dengan sistem distribusi yang digunakan. Sedangkan untuk mgalisis data kualitatif mengunakan teknik analisis deskriptif, yaitu menguraikan dan membantu analisis kuantitatif mengambil kesimpulan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis menunjukkan ada para petani yang menerapkan pola tanam dengan sistem kontinyu dan ada yang menerapkan sistem intermitten (berselang). Pola tanam dengan sistem kontinyu lebih menguntungkan dari sistem intermtten. Untuk itu, sebaiknya para petani lebih efektif menerapkan pola tanam dengan sistem kontinyu dengan perbaikan pemeliharaan tentang pemupukan dan penyemprotan obat bunga yang lebih intensif. Sistem distribusi yang diterapkan oleh para petani pacar adalah sistem tidak langsung dengan menjual bunga pacarnya kepada agen, tetapi tidak langsung kepada konsumen. Sistem ini sudah efektif, namun kurang maksimal. Setelah dilakukan analisis perbandingan dengan sistem ditribusi langsung dengan tiga sasaran pasar yang berbeda, sistem yang diterapkan kurang efektif. Dari tiga alaternatif yang dianalisis, sistem distribusi langsung dengan sasaran pasar hotel paling efektif dibandingkan sasaran pasar Mambal dan pasar luar Mambal. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sasaran hotel, sangat perlu menjaga kualitas bunga pacar yang selalu dalam kondisi segar dan kontinyuitas ketersediaannya yang harus dijaga.
