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
Social thinking on female alcoholism : psychotherapeutic issues and prevention strategies
No full textDans cette thèse, nous avons examiné la pensée sociale de l’alcoolisme féminin (N=726). En effet, il nous semble qu’elle puisse être impliquée dans le maintien de représentations négatives de l’alcoolisme, allant de pair avec une dépréciation de la femme alcoolique (N=80). De plus, il nous semble que cette pensée sociale implique de prendre en compte les images et les émotions utilisées dans les messages de santé portants sur la consommation d’alcool chez les jeunes femmes (N=80). Enfin, sur le plan de la prise en charge, cette pensée sociale nous a amené à nous interroger sur les difficultés à être abstinent, particulièrement lorsque les attentes vis-à-vis de l’alcool sont positives chez les patients alcooliques. Aussi, nous sommes-nous intéressés à un autre objectif thérapeutique plus contesté, celui de la consommation contrôlée (N=15) en le comparant à celui de l’abstinence (N=15).Premièrement, les résultats ont mis en évidence que l’alcoolisme féminin apparait comme jugé plus négativement que l’alcoolisme masculin. Deuxièmement, on a observé que les femmes alcooliques tendent à être plus « sensibles » à ressentir de la honte. Ces résultats semblent attester d’un travail thérapeutique indispensable sur cet affect dans la prise en charge de l’alcoolisme féminin. Troisièmement, nos résultats sur les techniques de prévention dans le cadre de la TCP ont mis en évidence le rôle essentiel que joue le cadrage des messages de santé auprès d’une population spécifique comme celle des jeunes femmes. Enfin, les résultats nous ont offert des perspectives intéressantes sur les bénéfices cognitifs et comportementaux liés au processus d’abstinence.This thesis has four main objectives in the study of public health issue represented byfemale alcoholism: (1) to explore the representational and attributional specificities of femalealcoholism in general population (Women = 492; Men = 234) and the influence of alcoholconsumption practices on its construction as a “social” object by comparing it to malealcoholism, (2) to evaluate, from a clinical point of view, the predisposition to shame andguilt in a group of patients with an Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD; criteria DSM-5) (Women =20; Men = 20) compared to a control group (Women = 20; Men = 20), (3) to devise, withinthe model of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), a primary prevention technique foroccasional heavy alcohol use or binge drinking and drunkenness amongst students between 18and 25 years old (Women = 80) by testing the effect of images and texts, positive vs.negative, and finally, (4) to assess, from a therapeutic point of view, amongst women with anAUD (Women: n = 16 and Men: n = 14), on the one hand, cognitive changes through thedevelopment of addictive beliefs regarding alcohol, and on the other hand, behaviouralchanges through the development of coping strategies, in relation to the two main treatmentgoals offered in Substance Abuse Departments in France: abstinence (n = 15) and controlleddrinking (n = 15).First, we observed the duality of alcohol consumption for the two objects of femaleand male alcoholism and the major influence on these results exercised by the participants’drinking habits. Second, we noted a greater predisposition to shame and guilt amongst womenwith an AUD. Therefore, on the one hand, female alcoholism appears to be judged morenegatively than male alcoholism and on the other hand, female alcoholics tend to be moresusceptible to suffering this negative affect. These results seem to attest a necessarytherapeutic work on the affect of shame in the treatment of female alcoholism. Third, ourfindings on prevention techniques within the model of the TPB highlighted the essential roleof the framing of health messages and the positive or negative emotions they arouse amongsta specific population considered "at risk" of developing pathologies due to alcoholconsumption, even though young women consume less than men. Last, our results offeredinteresting perspectives on the cognitive benefits related to the abstinence process and thedecision to abstain, compared to controlled consumption, as well as on the motivationsassociated with alcohol consumption and its relinquishment
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

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.
