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
Прибалтійський паливний ринок: спроби його завоювання донецьким вугіллям на початку ХХ ст.
No full textThe author of this article studies the attempts to conquer the Baltic fuel market by Donetsk coal at the beginning of the 20th century. Author analyzed the main delivery directions of coal from the Donbas to the Baltic consumers (railway, transportations by the sea around the Europe, Dnieper–Dvina Canal). The study on general scientific and special methods of history (statistic, comparative-historical, retrospective etc.) is based; it was used also the interdisciplinary and corporatist approaches.On the basis of the documentation of representative organizations of entrepreneurs, materials of periodical publications and government orders shows the author of this article that extractive capacity of the Donetsk coal industry at the beginning of the 20-th century significantly prevailed the existing demand. Author described the peculiarities of the Baltic fuel market (dependence on English fuel, interconnection of coal imports and grain exports from the North-West region). It was traced the evolution of the views of statesmen about the replacement of Donetsk coal on English coal in the ports of the Baltic Sea from economic expediency to issues of national security. Author explained the necessary components for the delivery the Donetsk fuel by railway (reduction of tariffs, building of additional railway lines and provision of the railway system by goods carriages), the delivery method by sea is accept as the most probable way. Author is focused the attention on the large-scale project of the river connection of the Black and Baltic Seas – the Kherson–Riga waterway.Despite the unfulfilled plan of conquest, the Baltic fuel market by Donetsk fuel at the beginning of the 20-th century, the directions of economic improvements that by entrepreneurs were developed became a demonstrative indication of their unity, a strategic vision of possible ways of developing the region. Therefore, it will be of scientific and practical interest to apply to the historical experience of economic interaction (or developed projects) in the Black Sea-Baltic region, the further study of mutually beneficial economic projects between Ukraine and the Baltic States.У статті досліджується спроба завоювання прибалтійського паливного ринку донецьким вугіллям на початку ХХ ст., проаналізовано головні напрями доставки кам’яного вугілля з Донбасу до прибалтійських споживачів (залізничне сполучення, морські перевезення довкола Європи, Дніпровсько-Двінський водний канал). Дослідження базується на загальнонаукових і спеціально-історичних методах (статистичний, порівняльноісторичний, ретроспективний тощо); в його основу покладено міждисциплінарний і корпоративістський підходи.На основі діловодної документації представницьких організацій підприємців, матеріалів періодичних видань, урядових розпоряджень у статті показано, що добувна спроможність донецької кам’яновугільної промисловості на початку ХХ ст. значно переважала наявний попит. Охарактеризовано особливості прибалтійського паливного ринку (залежність від англійського палива, взаємопов’язаність вугільного імпорту та хлібного експорту в Північно-Західному краї). Простежено еволюцію поглядів державних діячів щодо заміни донецьким вугіллям англійського в портах Балтійського моря від економічної доцільності до питань загальнодержавної безпеки. Висвітлено необхідні для залізничних поставок донецького палива складники (зниження тарифів, будівництво додаткових залізничних гілок та забезпечення мережі вантажними вагонами), виділено морський спосіб перевезення як найбільш вірогідний, акцентовано увагу на масштабному проекті річкового сполучення між Чорним і Балтійським морями – водний шлях Херсон–Рига.Попри нереалізованість задуму із завоювання донецьким вугіллям прибалтійського паливного ринку на початку ХХ ст., розроблені підприємцями напрями економічних вдосконалень стали наочним свідченням їхньої згуртованості, стратегічного бачення можливих шляхів розвитку регіону. Тому становитиме науковий і практичний інтерес звернення до історичного досвіду економічної взаємодії (або розроблених проектів) в ЧорноморськоБалтійському регіоні, подальше вивчення взаємовигідних економічних проектів між Україною та країнами Прибалтики
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.
