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
Governo eletrônico nos Estados federados brasileiros
Full text linkA presente investigação científica analisou o aspecto interdisciplinar da política governamental e estratégica de e-GOV nos websites dos estados federados brasileiros com base na metodologia de dois players globais: EUA e ONU. Não obstante, a pesquisa adotou os métodos aplicados pelo stakeholder W3C com o objetivo de trazer para a pesquisa o liame entre as linguagens de TIC e Jurídica Social. O cenário atual de e-GOV dos atores subnacionais brasileiros podem ser visualizados como um ambiente em constante evolução. No entanto, os resultados obtidos pela pesquisa não foram absolutamente otimistas para os estados brasileiros, pois adotar um programa de e-GOV é muito mais do que criar um website governamental. O portal de um governo estadual é a materialização da administração pública na Web em proveito da sociedade civil e demais governos nacionais ou internacionais. Podese observar que as boas práticas implementadas nos estados federados dos EUA são muito superiores do que dos atores subnacionais brasileiros. No âmbito internacional, representado pelas Nações Unidas, o resultado foi quase semelhante, especialmente com relação aos
serviços on-line. Com relação à recomendação do stakeholder W3C, os resultados dos estados
federados brasileiros mostram sintonia com as tecnologias novas para a Web 2.0 e que são
imprescindíveis para a boa execução dos websites, salvo alguns ajustes que excepcionalmente
são necessários em razão de atualizações. Os aspectos normativos de e-GOV no Brasil, em
especial para os estados brasileiros, constituem um fato clássico de lacuna na legislação, que
obsta o desenvolvimento de serviços eletrônicos com mais eficiência, transparência, visibilidade e qualidade para a sociedade civil. De outra parte, os EUA são os percursores na prática e na institucionalização do e-GOV, com a Lei Federal AN ACT Electronic Government of 2002 e conselhos federais e estaduais. Por fim, a pesquisa observou que para alcançar resultados positivos no e-GOV estadual brasileiro é essencial que o líder político tenha a percepção de que os websites governamentais são uma extensão dos serviços da administração pública, que engloba também a participação democrática direta. Isto é, a vontade política associada às estratégias de tecnologia para o ciberespaço e a sensibilidade de alcançar a sociedade como um todo.This scientific research examined the interdisciplinary aspect of government policy
and strategic e-GOV websites of the Brazilian federal states based on the methodology of two global players: USA and UN. Nevertheless, the research adopted the methods used by stakeholder W3C aiming to bring research the link between the languages of ICT and Legal Sciences. The current scenario of e-GOV of the Brazilian subnational actors can be viewed as an evolving environment. However, the results of the survey were not absolutely optimistic for the Brazilian states, therefore adopting a program of e-government is much more than creating a government website. The portal of a state government is the embodiment of public
administration web for the benefit of civil society and other national or international
governments. It can be observed that the best practices implemented in the Federated States of the United States of America are in a much higher pattern than the Brazilian subnational actors. Internationally, represented by the UN, the result was almost similar, especially with regard to online services. Regarding stakeholder W3C recommendation, the results of the Brazilian Federated States show a connection with new technologies for Web 2.0 and that are essential for the smooth running of websites, unless some adjustments are needed to uniquely due to updates. The normative aspects of e-GOV in Brazil, especially for the Brazilian
Federated States is a fact of classic gap in legislation that prevents the development of electronic services with more efficiency, transparency, visibility and quality for civil society. On the other hand, the United States is the precursor in the practice and institutionalization of e-GOV, Federal Law AN ACT Government Electronic of 2002 and federal and state councils. Finally, the survey noted that to achieve positive results in the e-GOV Brazilian states is essential that the political leader has the perception that government websites are an extension of government services, which also encompasses direct democratic participation. It means, the political strategies associated with cyberspace and technology to achieve the sensitivity of the society as a whole
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

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.
