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
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
A Critique of Contemporary Controversies in Animal Ethics from Buddhist Non-dualistic Middle Path
No full text摘要 本文主要脈絡為西方動物倫理學理論爭議之發展，以佛法「不二中道」學說作為檢視方法，解明西方動物倫理學論爭發展焦點癥結所在。最終目標是以「不二中道」運作於西方動物倫理學論爭，明確指出西方理論爭議進行的模式，以期突破動物倫理學論爭發展持續面臨之癥結。章節安排首先藉由重新檢視西方動物倫理論爭，呈現各家論說內部把握之中心觀點，澄清各家論述作為底部支撐的核心概念。整理發現歷來論者建構論證的相同思惟模式，以及其因此面臨的相關質疑。帶出佛法「不二中道」學說概念理路，以不二中道為解釋進路，說明各家論說表面上以不同的中心觀點建構截然不同的論述內容，實際上因受限於二端思惟框架，而採用了相似的理論建構模式。由於理論建構的深層思惟框架是相同的，各家論說在論述底部支撐的材料也將面臨共通的結構性質疑。 扼要把握動物倫理學論爭主軸，主要目標在發現各家論說所採用之中心觀點，以及理論建構之思惟結構。透過佛法「不二中道」學說之簡要闡明，並且藉著與不二中道形成對照的二端思惟論說，更清楚地掌握不二中道乃至於其所對治之二端思惟論說。以佛法「不二中道」學說對治相關論說，指出其中的關鍵問題在於日常語言所造成的僵化二端思惟架構。沿著日常語言當中詞語化概念的習慣性使用，乃至於發展成為思考模式，二端思惟框架深入每一個思考、認知環節，造成論者在闡述動物倫理學說的過程中，習慣性難以避免地採用一整套受到二端思惟框架所操控的理論材料。二端思惟使得整個西方動物倫理學論爭至今，表面上百家爭鳴，實際上各種論說皆難逃受限於二端思惟後，詞語化概念的共通性質疑。最後在試著全面性地指出，西方動物倫理學論爭發展不斷面臨之癥結以後，更進一步帶出佛教視野下可能的佛教動物倫理學。Abstract The focus of this paper is a critique of the development of the theory of Western animal ethics controversy from Buddhist Non-dualistic Middle Path. The ultimate goal of this paper is to operate in the West animal ethics controversy with Buddhist Non-dualistic Middle Path, made clear that the same model of Western theories with a view to break the continues crux of the controversy of animal ethics theories. The first part of this paper arranged by the re-examine of the Western animal ethics controversy, showing the central ideas which inside the various theories. And clarify the core concepts as bottom support of these theories. These arguments were always on the same thinking patterns, and therefore its faces similar questions. Through the Buddhist Non-dualistic Middle Path and the related points of it, found that the theory of Western animal ethics is actually limited to the two ends of the ideological framework. To face the endless dispute in western animal ethics, the Buddhist Non-dualistic Middle Path can offer several possible suggests to western animal ethics

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.
