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
The vaulted spaces of the chevet in Romanesque architecture in Europe : forms and functions
No full textLa thèse propose d’explorer le champ des relations entre architecture romane et espace liturgique à partir d’une disposition structurelle spécifique du chevet. L’analyse porte sur 139 monuments des XIe et XIIe siècles situés dans la péninsule italienne, dans les territoires germaniques et dans la péninsule ibérique, tous caractérisés par un chevet voûté plus ou moins fortement articulé et cloisonné alors que la nef perpétue la tradition de la basilique charpentée paléochrétienne. En dépit de l’hétérogénéité qu’un tel corpus comporte nécessairement (variété des statuts des monuments et des déclinaisons du dispositif étudié), l’étude comparative systématique des partis pris structurels et des aménagements liturgiques montre que ce traitement du chevet concourt, au même titre que le décor et que le mobilier, à structurer et à introduire un seuil dans l’espace ecclésial. Cette disposition participe du message ecclésiologique d’incarnation de l’Ecclesia dans le bâtiment : réservée au sanctuaire, la pierre permet de matérialiser le lieu de l’eucharistie et la présence réelle du Christ parmi les fidèles ; elle est une des principales composantes de la théologie du lieu eucharistique, avec l’autel et l’image. La mise en évidence du rôle de la maîtrise d’ouvrage dans le chantier permet aussi de mieux mesurer la dimension politique de ce type de chevet. L’étude du contexte de commande fait en effet émerger certaines des ambitions des maîtres d’ouvrage, à interpréter à l’échelle locale (manifestation de son rang, représentation de l’Église diocésaine dont il est à la tête) ou à l’échelle de l’Occident latin (prise de position dans les conflits liés à la mise en place de la réforme).This thesis explores the relationship between Romanesque architecture and liturgical space based on the specific structural layout of the east end (chevet). The analysis focuses on 139 11th- and 12th-century churches located in the Italian peninsula, Germanic territories and Iberian peninsula, all of which feature a vaulted chevet that is pronounced and partitioned to varying degrees, while the nave is in keeping with the tradition of the early Christian framework basilica. Despite the heterogeneity inherent in such a vast body of work (variation in monument status and in the structure studied), the systematic comparative study of structural proclivities and liturgical arrangements shows that the treatment of the east end, like the décor and furnishings, helps to structure and introduce a threshold into the ecclesiastical space. This layout contributes to the ecclesiological message about the incarnation of the Ecclesia in the building: the stone, reserved for the sanctuary, makes it possible to materialise the space of the Eucharist and the real presence of Christ among the faithful; it is one of the main components of the theology of the Eucharistic space, along with the altar and the image. Emphasising the role of the patron in the construction also makes it possible to better measure the political dimensions of this type of chevet. The study of the context of the commissioning reveals certain ambitions of the patron, which can be interpreted at the local level (as an expression of his rank, representation of the diocesan Church of which he was the head) or at the level of the Latin West (taking a position in conflicts related to the implementation of reform)
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.
