    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.

    Presupuesto de aislamiento acústico de la fachada de la UCMC sede Funza

    No full text
    Durante el proceso de formación académica en el programa de Administración de Empresas Comerciales sede Funza se evidenció una contaminación auditiva dirigida hacia los salones de clase ubicados frente a una de las principales vías vehiculares de Funza ( Calle 15 con carrera 11), la causa principal son los niveles excesivos de ruido ocasionados por los vehículos que transitan en esta zona, imposibilitando el ambiente sano de aprendizaje de los estudiantes del programa, causando que los profesores en ocasiones tengan que parar la clase, elevar la voz, esperar que disminuya el ruido, adicionalmente se ocasiona una pérdida de concentración por parte de los estudiantes ocasionando déficit de atención en las clases que en el momento se estén recibiendo. Como solución a esta problemática se ha determinado realizar un presupuesto con el propósito de ser presentado y socializado a los entes responsables de realizar las mejoras locativas en la fachada de la Unicolmayor sede Funza, especialmente en los salones que vienen presentando este inconveniente. La solución consta de la instalación de unos paneles acústicos de forma estratégica, aprovechando que ya hay unas bandejas metálicas lo que facilitaría la instalación en la parte externa de la fachada con el fin de que absorban de manera significativa el ruido producido por los vehículos. Dándole continuidad a esta investigación conviene involucrar a la Secretaría de Educación, ente que tiene a cargo todo lo relacionado a la Infraestructura (Secretaría) del municipio de Funza, con el fin de dar inicio a los estudios previos de las mejoras mencionadas y posteriores licitaciones de los oferentes.During the academic training process in the Commercial Business Administration program at the Funza headquarters, noise pollution was observed in the classrooms located in front of one of the main roads in Funza (Calle 15 with Carrera 11). The main cause was the excessive noise levels caused by the vehicles passing through this area, making it impossible for the students of the program to have a healthy learning environment, causing teachers to sometimes have to stop the class, raise their voices, wait for the noise to diminish, additionally this causes a loss of attention on the part of the students, causing attention deficit in the classes they are receiving. As a solution to this problem, it has been determined to prepare a budget in order to be presented and socialized to the entities responsible for making the improvements in the facade of the Unicolmayor Funza headquarters, especially in the rooms that have been presenting this problem. The solution is to install acoustic panels strategically, taking into account that there are already metal trays, which would facilitate its installation on the outside of the facade in order to significantly absorb the noise produced by vehicles. Continuando con esta investigación, es recomendable involucrar a la Secretaría de Educación, entidad encargada de la infraestructura (Secretaría) del municipio de Funza, con el fin de iniciar los estudios previos de las mejoras mencionadas y posteriores licitaciones para los oferentes.Tabla de Contenido Tabla de Contenido 3 Presupuesto de Aislamiento Acústico de la Fachada de la Ucmc Sede Funza 6 Resumen 6 Abstract 7 Introducción 8 Naturaleza del Problema 9 Definición del Problema 9 Enunciado del Problema 9 Pregunta Problema 10 Objetivos del Estudio 10 Objetivo General 10 Objetivos Específicos 11 Justificación 11 Estado del Arte 13 Transferencia de Productos y Servicios a través de los Incoterms 16 Relación con la Línea Institucional 17 Línea 03: Administración y competitividad 17 Temática: Evaluación de proyectos de inversión 17 Alcance 17 Marco Histórico 18 Acuerdo N° 006 de 2020.
