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
A Study of Poems with Identical Titles from the Six Dynasties
No full text本文以六朝詩歌常見的同題詩歌作為研究對象，包括與前人同題的擬作和與時人同題的共作。採用與他人相同的題目寫作詩歌，標誌著詩人在自我抒情之外所呈現出的，與其他詩人的關係樣態：學習、創新與對話等等。一個同題群中的詩作，縱向觀之，可以反映文學傳統的形成與嬗變；橫向觀之，則可觀察文學集團成員隱含在同題共作中，指向在場他者的話語。
本文主要分為三大部分：一、將「同題」視為一種文學史現象，從客觀環境與文學理論等背景，探討六朝詩人與他人同題的原因與心理動機，包括文學集團活動密切，以及文學自覺、重視學習、回顧傳統、建構經典等方面。二、從相同題目的歷時性流變，分析六朝詩歌從魏晉至梁陳，抒情傳統逐漸被取消的過程。「由抒情到描寫」不僅是一種自然的發展，更表現在齊梁詩人藉著同題擬作的形式，刻意置換、消弭嚴肅的情志成分，針對前人、前作而來的新變。從樂府舊題、雜詩、擬古、季節時間與人物形象等大類中的個別同題群，均可看出一致的消解現象。三、從文學集團共時性的同題共作，分析文人群體藉著詩歌所凝聚、共存的時空，以及可能隱藏的社交、遊戲話語。文學集團主人在此場合扮演著關鍵角色，往往是臣下以詩發言的受話者。此外，齊梁以後的詠物、邊塞二類同題共作，更一方面繼承縱向的託物╱遊俠言志同題傳統，另一方面將之轉化為因來自文學傳統而彼此共知的話語，向君主宣示忠誠或表達感謝。期能較為全面的探討六朝同題詩歌及其所呈現的意義。This dissertation focuses on poems written during the Six Dynasties period with titles identical to either poems composed earlier or by contemporary poets. For, in addition to personal expression on the part of the poet, the act of writing a poem with the same title as another author can indicate a number of different relations with the that author: imitation as a method of practice, imitation as a creative endeavor, of a dialogue. From a diachronic perspective, poems with the same title can reflect the formation and development of a literary tradition; from a synchronic viewpoint, the fact of writing under a common title can reveal membership in a common literary clique and point to a dialogue being undertaken with a (whether it be implied or physically) present other.
The argument made here is divided into three parts. First, the fact of poems being written under the same title is taken to be a literary-historical phenomenon. As such, we look at the objective literary environment and the contemporary literary theory that formed the background for such a phenomenon in order to discuss the reasons and psychological motivation for Six Dynasties period poets composing works with title identical to other poems, including the close interaction between members of literary cliques, literary self-awareness, the attention given to study through imitation, reflections on tradition, and the construction of classics. Second, we will look at changes over time in these poems in order to analyze the gradual disappearance of the lyrical tradition from the Wei-Jin period to the Liang-Chen period. This transition from lyricism to a more descriptive style was not simply a natural development; but rather can be seen in the way poets of the Qi-Liang dynasties consciously substitute out or simply blot out lyric elements in their own works of this type and develop a new style on the foundations of earlier poets and poems.This development can be seen in all types of these poems, regardless of whether they are in the style of old yue-fu themes, or written on various themes, nostalgic retrospectives on the past, seasons, or personalities. Third, by looking at works written corporately under identical titles by members of the same literary clique, we analyze how literary cliques make use of the common space-time fields created through their poetic efforts and possible social and ludic discourses that may be hidden in these works. The heads of literary cliques play a critical role in these arenas and it is common to see them appear as the receiver of comments from their courtly underlings expressed in poetic form.
In addition, after the Qi-Liang period, works of the same title falling under the categories of odes and frontier poetry not only diachronically take up the previous tradition of self-expression through projections onto things (託物) and knight errant themes (游俠), but also transforms it into a common discourse with roots in the literary tradition that acts as a vehicle for proclaiming loyalty or expressing gratitude to the ruler. It is hoped that this dissertation will be able to provide a relatively thorough review of poems using the same title during the Six Dynasties period and an explanation of its meanings
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.
