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
CLOUD COMPUTING AND ITS MEANING FOR SMALL BUSINESS
Full text linkMagistrska naloga se nanaša na vejo računalništva, katero imenujemo računalništvo v oblaku. Avtorja je predvsem zanimalo kakšen posloven potencial ima računalništvo v oblaku za srednja in mala podjetja. Vendar pa se je avtor zaradi lažje primerjave dotaknil tudi velikih podjetij.
Zaradi lažjega razumevanja tematike, smo se v uvodni fazi magistrske naloge osredotočali predvsem na definicije računalništva v oblaku, predstavili smo različne definicije, kot jih razumejo posamezni avtorji in strokovnjaki v svojih strokovnih delih. Skozi zgodovinsko os smo pokazali razvoj računalništva nasploh in še posebej poudarili tiste dogodke v razvoju, ki so pripomogli k temu da se je računalništvo v oblaku razvilo do te mere, kot ga poznamo danes.
V nadaljevanju smo se osredotočili na različne modele računalništva v oblaku in spoznali, da ga sestavljajo trije glavni nivoji. Njihovo proučevanje je predvsem pomembno s strani podjetja, saj vsak nivo odraža svoj koncept in način uporabe le – tega. Vsak nivo ima svoje prednosti in slabosti, vsi skupaj pa odražajo generalne prednosti in slabosti, katerih smo se prav tako dotaknili in jih opredelili ter primerjali z klasičnim računalništvom.
Ena od glavnih slabosti oz. negotovost kot jo razumejo podjetja in katere se najbolj bojijo je varnost, zato smo varnosti namenili še posebej veliko pozornost, ter opredelili različne vidike varnosti, ter se dotaknili tudi tematike, ki je namenjena upravljanju varnosti v podjetjih.
V drugem delu magistrske naloge, smo opravili dve raziskavi in sicer raziskavo ki se nanaša na slovenska podjetja v povezavi z računalništvom v oblaku in njihovo uporabo in pa raziskavo ponudnikov oblačnih storitev. Rezultati prve analize so interesantni in dajejo zaključek, da v Sloveniji še ni v celoti izkoriščen potencial ki ga ponuja računalništvo v oblaku. Na drugi strani imamo ponudnike ki se delijo v več skupin in katere globalizacija sili v nenehen razvoj za svoj obstanek. Značilnost nekaterih je sodelovanje z zunanjimi partnerji. Tako imamo podjetja, ki so zgolj posrednik med razvijalcem storitve in kupcem. Z drugo raziskavo smo analizirali storitve, ki jih najdemo na slovenskem trgu. Delili smo jih na globalne in domače storitve ter jih med seboj tudi primerjali. Ugotovili smo, da se cene posameznih storitev, ki ponujajo podobne oz. sorodne module bistveno ne razlikujejo.
Na koncu nas je zanimal še skok v prihodnost. S pomočjo raziskave, ki jo je opravila svetovno znana revija, smo si drznili napovedati rast analizirane panoge v prihodnosti vse do leta 2020. Nesporno dejstvo je da se bo računalništvo v oblaku razvijalo in krepilo tudi v bodoče. Paradni konji bodo storitve, ki se nanašajo na SaaS nivo računalništva v oblaku.Master\u27s thesis refers to the branch of computer science, which is called cloud computing. The author was particularly interested in what business potential cloud computing has got for small and medium enterprises. However, for easier comparison, bigger enterprises were also taken in consideration.
In the introductory phase of the master\u27s thesis, we manly focused on the definiton of cloud computing, for better understanding of the issue. We presented various definitions, as understood by individual authors and experts in ther professional work. Through the historical perspective, we showed the development of computer science in general and particularly highlighted those events in the development, that contributed to the fact that cloud computing has evolved to such an extent as we know it today.Furthermore, we focused on different models of cloud computing and realized, that it consists of three main levels. Their study is particularly important to the company, because each level reflects its own concept and the method of using it. Each level has got its own advantages and disadvantages, all together they reflect the general advantages and disadvantages, which we also touched upon, identified and compared with conventional computing.
One of the main disadvantages and an uncertainty, that is perceived by the enterprises and which they are mainly frightened of, is the security. So we paid particularly close attention to it and identified different aspects of security, and also touched upon the topic, which is intended for the management of security in enterprises.
In the second part of the master\u27s thesis, we conducted two studies, namely a survey relating to Slovenian companies in relation to cloud computing and their application, and a survey of providers of cloud services. The results of the first study are interesting and lead to the conclusion, that in Slovenia the potential offered by cloud computing has not been fully exploited yet. On the other hand, we have providers that are divided into several groups and, in order to exist, forced in constant development by the globalization. A characteristic of some is co-operation with external partners. Thus, we have companies that are merely an intermediary between the developer of the service and the customer. In the second study, we analyzed the services that can be found on the Slovenian market. They are divided into global and domestic services, which we compared. We found out that the prices of individual services, that offer similar or related modules, are not significantly different.
In the end, we were interested in further leap into the future. Through research, conducted by the world-renowned magazine, we dared to predict the growth of the analyzed sector in the future up to the year 2020. It is an indisputable fact that the cloud computing model will be developed and strengthened in the future. The flagships will be the services that relate to the SaaS level of cloud computing
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.
