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
Construções físicas e narrativas : a elaboração do memorial dos direitos humanos da União Africana (MDHUA) em Adis Abeba, Etiópia (2004-2012)
Get PDFOrientador: Prof. Dr. Hector Guerra HernandezDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História. Defesa : Curitiba, 22/08/2023Inclui referênciasResumo: Em 2004 a União Africana (UA) em reunião executiva do Comitê de Representantes Permanentes deliberou a construção do Memorial dos Direitos Humanos da União Africana (MDHUA) inaugurado em 2012, na capital da Etiópia a cidade de Addis Ababa, esta dissertação buscou entender as dinâmicas envolvidas entre esse projeto de memorialização, a diplomacia africana e a história da Etiópia. Desde sua criação em 1963, a sede da Organização da Unidade Africana (OUA) dividiu o terreno com a prisão central etíope conhecida por Alem Bekagn, e o início dos anos 2000, foi marcado por mudanças institucionais envolvendo a transição em 2002 da OUA passando a ser União Africana (UA) que nesse contexto, recebeu do governo etíope a possibilidade de englobar como parte de sua sede o antigo prédio prisional, e transformaria parte dele no MDHUA. Diante disso, buscaremos entender a decisão da União Africana em criar o memorial nesse espaço considerando as relações do passado entre a Organização da Unidade Africana e a antiga prisão nacional, palco de inúmeros abusos dos direitos humanos cometidos no país, bem como, as tensões internacionais às quais esse projeto esteve subsumido. Através do estudo dos documentos oficiais do bloco africano, identificamos as principais divergências envolvidas entre os chefes de estado no continente e os interesses comuns articulados na arena internacional. Buscamos nos conceitos metodológicos para o estudo da memória e processo de memorialização em sociedades pós-conflito, ferramentas para nossa análise. Inicialmente, realizamos uma digressão histórica quanto a formação da instituição africana sediada na capital da Etiópia e sua relação com a urbanização e diplomacia local, posteriormente, trabalhamos aspectos da relação institucional da organização com os direitos humanos, e também, de sua transição de OUA para UA. Especificamente a respeito do memorial estudado, partimos do conceito de crime de Genocídio por nos possibilitar inferir quanto a polissemia de sentido do MDHUA ao vincular a história etíope, a do bloco e das relações internacionais estabelecidas. Para então investigarmos as inda e vindas desse projeto que acabou demolindo o local da antiga prisão que seria destinado a abrigar o museu memorial. Por fim, percebemos esse projeto de memorialização como a possibilidade de compreendermos as tensões políticas, sociais, e econômicas envolvidas em sua formação, partindo do contexto histórico anterior a sua elaboração, considerando o debate público memorial etíope e a opinião pública das arenas intercontinental africana e internacional mundial.Abstract: In 2004 the African Union (AU) in an executive meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives deliberated the construction of the Human Rights Memorial of the African Union (MDHUA) inaugurated in 2012, in the capital of Ethiopia, the city of Addis Ababa, this dissertation sought to understand the dynamics involved between this memorialization project, African diplomacy and Ethiopian history. Since its creation in 1963, the headquarters of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) has shared land with the Ethiopian central prison known as Alem Bekagn, and the early 2000s were marked by institutional changes involving the transition in 2002 from the OAU to being the African Union (AU) which, in this context, received from the Ethiopian government the possibility of including the former prison building as part of its headquarters, and would transform part of it into the MDHUA. In view of this, we will seek to understand the decision of the African Union to create the memorial in this space, considering the past relations between the Organization of African Unity and the former national prison, the scene of numerous human rights abuses committed in the country, as well as international tensions, to which this project was subsumed. Through the study of the official documents of the African bloc, we identified the main divergences involved between the heads of state in the continent and the common interests articulated in the international arena. We seek in methodological concepts for the study of memory and memorialization process in post-conflict societies, tools for our analysis. Initially, we carried out a historical digression regarding the formation of the African institution based in the capital of Ethiopia and its relationship with urbanization and local diplomacy, later, we worked on aspects of the institutional relationship of the organization with human rights, and also, its transition from OAU to AU. Specifically, regarding the memorial studied, we start from the concept of the crime of Genocide, as it allows us to infer the polysemy of meaning of the MDHUA by linking Ethiopian history, that of the bloc and established international relations. Then we investigate the comings and goings of this project that ended up demolishing the site of the old prison that would be destined to house the memorial museum. Finally, we perceive this memorialization project as the possibility of understanding the political, social, and economic tensions involved in its formation, starting from the historical context prior to its elaboration, considering the Ethiopian memorial public debate and the public opinion of the African intercontinental arenas as well worldwide

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.
