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
Comparing water deficit and saline stress between 1103P and 101-14Mgt rootstocks, grafted with Cabernet Sauvignon
No full textEn zonas áridas bajo riego, los viñedos enfrentan condiciones de déficit hídrico y salinidad. Como frecuentemente estos factores de estrés ocurren simultáneamente, es difícil evaluar la gravedad relativa de cada uno de ellos.
El objetivo del trabajo fue comparar en forma independiente las respuestas fisiológicas y vegetativas al estrés hídrico y salino de dos portainjertos de vid injertados con Cabernet Sauvignon. Se realizó un experimento en macetas con vides injertadas con Cabernet Sauvignon sobre 1103P y 101-14Mgt. Se aplicaron tres tratamientos: estrés salino (Salino), estrés hídrico (EH) y testigo sin estrés (T). El Ψ foliar a mediodía fue -1,3 MPa en Salino y EH, y -0,9 MPa en T. Luego de 54 días, Salino afectó menos el área foliar (AF) y la longitud de brotes (LB) que EH. El AF disminuyó 53% en Salino, mientras que en EH se redujo 78% respecto de T. La LB disminuyó 68% en Salino y 83% en EH. La biomasa total no presentó diferencias entre los dos tipos de estrés, disminuyendo ambos un 52% respecto de T, pero la partición de asimilados a los distintos órganos fue distinta. Salino acumuló más biomasa en parte aérea y EH en raíz. Aunque la conductancia estomática se redujo de manera similar en ambos tratamientos de estrés (-41% respecto del T) se encontró una interacción entre tipo de estrés y portainjerto para la fotosíntesis neta. Las plantas injertadas sobre 1103P acumularon un 21% menos de Na+ que las injertadas sobre 101-14Mgt. A pesar que el comportamiento de las plantas Cabernet Sauvignon injertadas fue similar para ambos portainjertos, la mayor exclusión de 1103P lo hace más propicio ante situaciones de salinidad.In arid regions under irrigation, vineyards often face water deficit and salinity. As these stressors often occur simultaneously, it is difficult to assess their individual relative severity. The aim of this work was to independently study the physiological responses of grapevine to salinity and water deficit, in order to understand and compare their effects. A pot trial was designed, grafting Cabernet Sauvignon onto 1103P and 101-14 Mgt. Three treatments were evaluated: saline irrigation (Salino; 80 mM ClNa and field capacity), water stress (EH; 0,4 faction of soil transpirable water and 2 mM NaCl) and a control (T; without any stress factors, field capacity and 2mM NaCl). After 54 days, Salino showed smaller effect on leaf area (AF) and shoot length than EH. AF diminished 53% for Salino, while for EH, AF was reduced in a 78% with respect to T. Shoot length diminished 68% for Salino and 83% for EH. Total biomass did not show any difference between both stresses, falling 52% for both situations. However, regarding the biomass partitioning, Salino had higher canopy dry weight while EH showed higher root dry weight. Midday leaf water potential was -1,3 MPa for Salino and EH and -0,9 MPa for T. Although stomatal conductance was similarly reduced for both stress treatments (-41% compared to T), with no differences between rootstocks; an interaction was found between the type of stress and rootstock for net photosynthesis. Finally, 1103P showed a higher Na+ exclusion power than 101-14Mgt (accumulating 21% less Na+ in the plant). Even though the behavior of the Cabernet sauvignon scion was similar for both rootstocks, the higher exclusion that 1103P showed may indicate possible better performances upon salinity.Fil: Lucero, Claudia Cecilia.

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.
