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
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.

Thomas Luis, pintor maneirista do sacro e do profano: arte, conservação e restauro:casos de Évora, Aldeia Galega, Elvas, Idanha-a-Nova e Vila Viçosa - Séculos XVI a XVII
No full textTese de doutoramento, História (Arte Património e Restauro), Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Letras, 2014A presente dissertação tem como objectivo apresentar um estudo interdisciplinar inovador sobre as pinturas retabulares e murais do artista inglês Thomas Luis (Thomas Lewis). Estas obras, realizadas entre c. 1582 e c. 1603, estão localizadas em cinco zonas de Portugal: Évora, antiga Aldeia Galega (actual Montijo), Elvas, Idanha-a-Nova e Vila Viçosa. Trata-se de um pintor pouco estudado, de certa forma desvalorizado quando comparado com outros mais prolíficos (caso dos pintores Diogo Teixeira, Simão Rodrigues e Francisco João), mas que apresenta pinturas monumentais que importa conhecer, singulares do ponto de vista artístico. A pintura subsistente em edifícios religiosos e civis dá conta de uma clientela de saber erudito e actualizado em relação ao que de melhor se produzia quer a nível nacional, quer no estrangeiro (na vizinha Espanha, na Alemanha, na Flandres e em Itália). Dez conjuntos pictóricos, compostos por cento e setenta e oito temas (sem esquecer as que desapareceram e pertencem, por isso, à cripto-história), são aqui devidamente fundamentados em termos autorais, como sendo de Thomas Luis. O método de investigação escolhido foi imposto pelo objecto, isto é, pelas próprias pinturas, a partir das quais se realizou a biografia de Thomas Luis. As suas obras-primas foram analisadas de forma pluridisciplinar, segundo seis perspectivas: histórica (contexto espácio-temporal, encomendantes e mecenas); iconográfica e iconológica (perscrutando o significado dos programas sacros e profanos em fontes documentais e literárias); estilística e artística (apresentando as influências plausíveis dos vários ramos da arte – gravura, iluminura, pinturas de cavalete e murais, azulejaria, talha e pedra –, nas obras de Thomas Luis); dos materiais e das técnicas, com base nos resultados adquiridos com métodos de exame e análise (MEA), de área e de ponto; da história “transmemorial” (cronologia das alterações e das intervenções de Conservação e Restauro, com o apoio dos MEA); da Museologia, propondo formas de divulgação do conhecimento adquirido sobre o Património estudado, e da Curadoria, recomendando quer critérios de “autenticidade” para a exposição de bens culturais sacros em pólos culturais (igreja e museu), quer directrizes de conservação preventiva para o prolongamento da sua vida, explicando qual é o papel desempenhado pelo conservador-restaurador nesses âmbitos. Em grandes linhas, este trabalho visa a preservação e projecção da obra de Thomas Luis, dá-la a conhecer ao grande público e fomentar o turismo cultural.The goal of this thesis is to present an interdisciplinary and innovative study about the altarpieces and wall paintings by the English painter Thomas Luis (Thomas Lewis). These paintings, created between c. 1582 and c. 1603, are located in five areas in Portugal: Évora, the old Aldeia Galega (actual Montijo), Elvas, Idanha-a-Nova and Vila Viçosa. There are few studies about Thomas Luis, who has not been given sufficient recognition when compared with more productive painters (like Diogo Teixeira, Simão Rodrigues and Francisco João), in spite of his monumental paintings, which should be acknowledged, as they are unique. His paintings can be found in religious and private buildings. They show evidence that Thomas Luis’s patrons had an erudite taste and culture, concurrent with the best that was produced not only in Portugal, but also abroad (in neighboring Spain, in Germany, in Flanders and Italy). Ten pictorial groups, composed of one hundred and seventy eight themes (including the ones that disappeared), are herein justified in terms of authorship, as being by Thomas Luis. The research method chosen was imposed by the object, that is, by the paintings themselves, which, in fact, “write” Thomas Luis biography. His masterpieces were studied in a pluridisciplinary way, through six perspectives: historic (space and time contexts, patrons and Maecenas); iconographical and iconological (exploring the meaning of sacred and profane themes in documents and literary sources); stylistic and artistic (showing possible influences, from various art fields – engraving, illumination, easel and wall paintings, tiles, wood and stone works –, in Thomas Luis work); material and technological, using surface and local methods of exam and analysis (MEA); “transmemorial” history (chronology of the alterations and Conservation and Restoration interventions, using MEA), Museology, proposing ways for a wider acquaintance of Thomas Luis work, exhibited in cultural places (church and museum), and Curadory, recommending not only “authenticity” criteria for the exhibition of sacred heritage, but also preventive conservation guide lines to ensure its lasting preservation, explaining the role played by the conservatorrestorer in those areas. This work aims to acknowledge, preserve and project Thomas Luis work to a wider audience and promote the Cultural Heritage Tourism.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT, SFRH/BD/46645/2008
