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
Contribution à la caractérisation et à la modélisation du micro-écaillage de l'étain fondu sous choc
No full textWhen a material is subjected to an unsupported shock wave sufficiently intense to induce melting, tensile stresses produced upon reflection of this wave on a free surface are generated in a liquid state. As a consequence, a dynamic fragmentation process called micro-spalling occurs, leading to the creation of a cloud of fine droplets. This thesis aims at providing a better understanding of this phenomenon in order to develop a physical modelling. Experimental investigation, including plate impacts and laser-driven shocks on tin, provides fundamental data concerning the micro-spalling process. Theoretical and numerical analysis of existing fragmentation models based on global energetic approach leads to the formulation of a fragmentation criterion appropriate for micro-spalling that is implemented in a hydrocode. Computations provide a first description of the droplets cloud in terms of size and velocity distributions, as well as information about the state of the liquid and its evolution. In parallel, a second modelling approach aims at identifying the physical mechanisms responsible for fragmentation during the micro-spalling process. Cavitation, observed experimentally, is described by means of a hollow sphere model that allows defining the conditions for which the growth of micro-voids can lead to fragmentation in liquid metals. Quantitative results strengthen some predictions of the former fragmentation model based on energetic approach.Le micro-écaillage est un mode de ruine apparaissant lorsqu'un matériau est soumis à une onde de choc non-soutenue suffisamment intense pour provoquer sa fusion. Les contraintes de traction générées à la réflexion de cette onde sur une surface libre se développent alors au sein d'un milieu liquide. Il en résulte un processus de fragmentation dynamique qui conduit à la création d'un nuage de fines gouttelettes. L'objectif de ce travail de thèse a consisté à étudier ce phénomène afin d'en proposer une modélisation physique, permettant en particulier une description du nuage de particules (distributions de tailles, de vitesses, état du liquide qui les compose). Le matériau retenu pour cette étude est l'étain. Le programme expérimental a permis de constituer une base de données de référence sur le micro-écaillage. Il a comporté des expériences d'impact de plaques et de choc laser permettant de réunir les conditions d'apparition du phénomène avec la mise en oeuvre de diagnostics variés et complémentaires.Une première approche théorique et numérique concerne la modélisation de la fragmentation dynamique au sein des liquides, et plus particulièrement la prédiction de la taille des gouttelettes générées. L'analyse de modèles existants fondés sur une approche énergétique globale, qui fournissent des ordres de grandeurs réalistes, conduit à la formulation d'un critère de fragmentation approprié au micro-écaillage finalement implémenté dans un code de calcul hydrodynamique. Les résultats des simulations réalisées apportent ainsi une première description du nuage micro-écaillé. En parallèle, une seconde approche de modélisation a pour objectif de mieux cerner les mécanismes physiques élémentaires mis en jeu lors du micro-écaillage. Motivée par des observations expérimentales, l'étude micro-mécanique d'une sphère creuse constituée d'étain liquide en expansion dynamique a pour but de décrire l'évolution de la cavitation au sein des métaux liquides et d'en déduire les conditions pour lesquelles celle-ci peut effectivement conduire à leur fragmentation. Certains résultats quantifiés de cette étude confortent les prédictions du modèle de fragmentation fondé sur une approche énergétique globale. Ces contributions pourront être mises à profit pour la construction d'une modélisation physique approfondie de la fragmentation des liquides

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.
