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
Case of Kota, Rajasthan
No full textThe phenomenon of studentification, characterized by a significant influx of students transforming urban landscapes, presents a unique set of challenges for city planners. Kota, Rajasthan, serves as a prime example. Once a prominent industrial center, Kota has undergone a dramatic metamorphosis into a thriving educational hub, attracting students nationwide for competitive exam preparation. This influx, fueled by a flourishing coaching industry valued at ₹1.5 billion (2017) and experiencing a robust 15% annual growth, exemplifies the studentification process.
However, this educational boom has come at a cost. The city's infrastructure struggles to keep pace with the growing student population. The most pressing issue lies in student housing. The lack of adequate and affordable rental housing options creates a significant challenge for students seeking accommodation. Limited recreational areas, constituting a mere 2.4% of the total land use, further exacerbate the situation. Addressing student mental health amidst the intense academic pressure cooker environment takes on even greater importance given these limitations.
The National Urban Rental Housing Policy (2015) emphasizes the need for need-based housing solutions for vulnerable populations like students. However, current urban planning practices in India often lack the responsiveness necessary to adapt to such rapid demographic shifts. This research project aims to bridge this gap by focusing on student housing needs within the context of Kota's studentification.
This thesis aims to explore the dynamics of student housing in Kota, analyzing factors such as housing preferences, migration patterns, and the impact of educational institutions on housing demand. By comprehensively understanding these dynamics, the study seeks to formulate planning imperatives for affordable student rental housing. The focus lies on enhancing livability through the provision of sufficient recreational spaces and optimized micro-zonal densities. Extending beyond Kota's borders, this research offers insights into
Student Housing in an Education Hub – A case of Kota, Rajasthan
housing planning strategies applicable to other cities facing similar challenges associated with educational growth. By shedding light on student housing needs, this thesis aims to provide valuable guidance for policymakers, planners, and developers endeavouring to create inclusive and sustainable urban environments in education hubs like Kota.
This thesis explores how to create responsive student housing solutions in areas experiencing studentification, the urban transformation caused by large student populations. By examining global student housing models and the impact of educational institutions on housing demand, the research will build a foundation for understanding student needs. It will then delve into migration patterns and analyze existing housing stock to identify opportunities. Finally, the project will develop a planning framework that considers student preferences, affordability concerns, and safety issues. This framework will translate research findings into actionable recommendations, like zoning regulations and infrastructure improvements, to create thriving student communities.
In the context of knowledge economies where educational institutions attract a growing student population, ensuring access to affordable, quality housing becomes paramount. This conceptual framework posits that socially responsive land-use planning emerges as a powerful tool to address the unique housing challenges faced by students. The mixed methods approach for the thesis provides a comprehensive understanding of student housing in the chosen context, leading to well-informed and effective recommendations.
This thesis employs a mixed methods approach to explore student housing needs and develop responsive planning strategies. A literature review lays the groundwork, while data collection utilizes surveys, interviews, spatial data analysis, and a case study approach to gather information on student preferences, existing housing stock, and local context. Quantitative data will be analyzed statistically to identify trends, while qualitative data will be thematically analyzed to understand stakeholder perspectives. Finally, the research will translate findings into recommendations for policy interventions, spatial planning considerations, and stakeholder collaboration to create a responsive student housing framework.
Student Housing in an Education Hub – A case of Kota, Rajasthan
This study finds that student housing in Kota, a major education hub, is largely inadequate for student needs. Analysis revealed affordability and livability concerns, with many residences lacking Fire NOCs (No Objection Certificates) and recreational spaces.
Kota's transformation into a student hub brings both social and cultural vibrancy with transient communities, a young population, and mixed-use development. However, unregulated land-use changes inflate property prices near coaching institutes, squeezing regular housing and straining infrastructure. This study proposes a student-centric township model with policy guidelines and rent suggestions within a new residential land-use category to create a more sustainable and livable student environment. While acknowledging limitations in time and resources, the research paves the way for future studies to explore a broader geographic scope, incorporate additional data collection methods, delve into economic factors and financial calculations, and prioritize ethical data collection practices. These insights can serve as a foundation for developing responsive student housing planning frameworks
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.
