R analysis code files:
01-import.R - Imports dataset. Creates a mapping of dependent variables and variable names used elsewhere in the figure and analysis.
02-gen_figure.R - Generates Figure 1 in PDF and PNG formats and saves them in the "figures" directory.
03-gendescriptivestats.R - Generates results reported in Table 1.
04-gen_models.R - Fits models reported in Tables 2-4.
05-alternative_specifications.R - Fits models using log-transformed version of the income variable.
Makefile: Executes all of the R files in sequence, produces corresponding .log files in the "log" directory that contain the full R session from each file as well as separate error log files (also in the "log" directory) that capture any error messages and warnings generated by R along the way.
HargittaiShaw2019Socius-Instrument.pdf: The questions distributed to both the NORC and AMT survey participants used in the analysis reported in this paper.
How to reproduce the analysis presented in the paper
Depending on your computing environment, reproducing the analysis presented in the paper may be as easy as invoking "make all" or "make" in the directory containing this file on a system that has the appropriate software installed. Once compilation is complete, you can review the log files in a text editor. See below for more on software and dependencies. If calling the makefile fails, the individual R scripts can also be run interactively or in batch mode.
Software and dependencies
The R and compilation materials provided here were created and tested on a 64-bit laptop pc running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS, R version 3.6.1, ggplot2 version 3.2.1, reshape2 version 1.4.3, forcats version 0.4.0, pscl version 1.5.2, and stargazer version 5.2.2 (these last five are R packages called in specific .R files). As with all software, your mileage may vary and the authors provide no warranties.

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
