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
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
On the aspects of iot protocols specification and checking
Full text linkТіменко, А. В. Щодо аспектів специфікації і перевірки протоколів інтернету речей = On the aspects of iot protocols specification and checking / А. В. Тіменко // Shipbuilding & Marine Infrastructure. – 2019. – № 2 (12). – С. 35–41.Анотація. Сучасний рівень складності різноманітних програмних систем зумовлює потребу адаптації та доопрацювання процесу розроблення таких систем належним чином. Показовими прикладами останніх є системи, побудовані згідно з концепцією Інтернету речей, що, зокрема, передбачає застосування спеціалізованих протоколів взаємодії компонентів. Концепція Інтернету речей охоплює мільярди різнорідних «розумних» пристроїв, що взаємодіють один з одним на основі різноманітних протоколів. З огляду на варіативність протоколів взаємодії та їх реалізацій виникає проблема сумісності таких пристроїв. Разом із цим варто відзначити, що під час проектування різного роду систем, наприклад систем критичного призначення, все більшого поширення набуває використання формальних методів, зокрема методів перевірки на моделі. Робота адресується вирішенню проблеми перевірки сумісності компонентів систем Інтернету речей шляхом автоматизованого застосування методів перевірки на моделі. Мета роботи – запропонувати підхід до вирішення проблеми перевірки сумісності компонентів систем Інтернету речей за рахунок застосування методу перевірки на моделі. Методика полягає в наступному: спочатку синтезується абстрактна специфікація, потім ця специфікація деталізується і перевіряється методом перевірки на моделі в автоматизованому режимі. Як результат запропоновано підхід до перевірки сумісності компонентів систем Інтернету речей, що полягає в автоматизованій формальній верифікації протоколів взаємодії. Синтез специфікації протоколу MQTT згідно з запропонованим підходом розглядається як тематичне дослідження.Abstract. Modern level of diverse software systems complexity stipulates the engineering process to be adapted and refined appropriately. The demonstrative examples of such systems are the ones from the Internet of Things domain that, in particular, imply the usage of specialized communication protocols. The concept of the Internet of Things encompasses the billions of heterogeneous smart devices communicating to each other through different protocols. Taking into consideration the variation of communication protocols and its implementations, the interoperability problem arises. Moreover, it should be noted that during the designing of diverse systems, the safety-critical ones in particular, the practice of formal methods usage, especially the model checkers, is becoming more and more popular. The work is addressed to solving the interoperability problem of the Internet of Things domain by way of automated model checking. Goal – to propose an approach to solving the interoperability problem in the Internet of Things domain by way of model checking method usage. The technique applied is as follows: synthesize the abstract specification first, and then this specification should be detailed and formally checked in an automated manner. Results obtained – an approach to checking the interoperability between the components of the Internet of Things system has been proposed. The approach is based on automated formal verification of communication protocols. Synthesis of MQTT protocol specification has been considered as a case study. The novelty of work is about the interpretation of interoperability checking problem from the viewpoint of consistency at communication protocols level. The practical value of the results obtained is about the possibility of application of the approach proposed in order to exclude the unexpected scenarios of the Internet of Things System’s components communication, communication failures in particular

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.
