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
Äldres digitala utanförskap i Sverige
No full textDenna uppsats berör det rådande digitala utanförskap som många äldre svenskar i åldrarna 66+ idag upplever. Fokus har riktats mot anledningarna till vad utanförskapet beror på och vilka eventuella lösningar mot detta som går att ta fram. Studieprocessen är av slaget Design and Creation och består av både kvantitativa och kvalitativa data. Förutom att utföra litteraturstudier har datainsamlingar uträttats genom analys av stora datasets, enkätundersökningar och andra metoder som Customer Journey Mapping.
Den främsta anledningen till att denna studie utförts är att det blir allt mer fundamentalt att ta del av de nya, digitala alternativ till de samhällstjänster som svenskarna behöver tillgång till jämt. Därmed innebär det att om man själv inte är villig eller inte har möjlighet att delta i övergången från analogt till digitalt så riskerar man att uppleva konsekvenser av detta på flera olika plan, inte minst ekonomiska.
Forskningsfrågan som studien avser besvara är “Hur kan man bistå de äldre i digitalt utanförskap för att motivera dem till att börja använda internet?” och har sedermera brutits ner till fyra underfrågor för att lättare angripa de olika problemområden som ligger till grund för problematiken bakom den stora forskningsfrågan.
Studien kastar ljus på heuristiska riktlinjer och principer som kan användas för att designa och utveckla mjukvara särskilt anpassad för äldre såväl som kvantitativa data som visar användningsstatistik m.m.
Några viktiga slutledningar som går att dra från denna studie är vikten av att utvecklare börjar ta äldre människor i större beaktande när de utvecklar. Vidare har det tydligt framgått att de äldre som antingen inte vill eller känner att de kan använda internet och annan mjukvara kan och bör motiveras att övervinna sina farhågor. Detta görs bäst genom övning med hjälp av instruktioner.This essay addresses the prevailing digital exclusion that many older Swedes aged 66+ are experiencing today. The focus has been on the reasons for what the exclusion is due to and what possible solutions to this can be developed. The study process is of the design and creation type and consists of both quantitative and qualitative data. In addition to conducting literature studies, data collections has been conducted through analysis of large datasets, survey surveys and other methods such as Customer Journey Mapping.
The main reason why this study was carried out is that it is becoming increasingly fundamental to take advantage of the new, digital alternatives to the community services that the Swedes need access to constantly. This means that if you yourself are not willing or do not have the possibility to participate in the transition from analog to digital, you risk experiencing the consequences of this on several different levels, not least financial ones.
The research question that the study aims to answer is "How can we assist the elderly in digital exclusion to motivate them to start using the internet?" and has subsequently been broken down to four sub-questions to more easily address the various problem areas that underlie the major research issue.
The study sheds light on heuristic guidelines and principles that can be used to design and develop software specially adapted for older as well as quantitative data showing usage statistics etc.
Some important conclusions that can be drawn from this study are the importance of developers starting to take older people into consideration when developing. Furthermore, it has become clear that the elderly who either do not want or feel that they can use the internet and other software can and should be motivated to overcome their fears. This is best done through practice with the help of instructions
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.
