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.

企業內訓練發展需要評估之研究
No full text[[abstract]]訓練發展需要的鑑定，實為規劃訓練方案的第一要務。因此，發展出一系統的策略及
方法，來分析組織、個人的問題與需要，有助於實際需要評估之執行，並達成既定的
目標。
本研究旨在分析訓練發展需要評估的理論背景，探討有關訓練發展需要評估相關的文
獻資料，並瞭解國內企業辦理訓練發展需要評估的實際現象，然後提出一套適合國內
企業所需的訓練發展需要評估模式。
為達上述之目的，本研究採理論分析與深度訪問的方法進行，訪問所得資料以類目歸
納及比較的方式予分析。
依據研究目的與研究發現，獲致主要的結論如下：
壹、國內企業辦理訓練發展需要評估的實際現象
一、實務作法所根據的理念與理論是一致的，但仍有差距存在。理論上所強調的是全
面、整體與系統化的評估，但實務作法上並未達理想的程度；所謂理念的一致，是指
訓練發展需要存在於「問題」或「差距」之上。
二、就評估內容中三個層面的評估順序，言依序為組織分析、工作分析、人員分析。
三、評估的實施程序可分一般的行政決策類與鑑定問題點之類，理想的程序應兼具二
者之特性。
四、實務作法中，訓練課程的設計與安排大部份屬經常而少變動的，而一般經由正式
需要評估之結果而設計之訓練方案則屬於臨時性的，它佔較少部份。
五、外在環境因素經由對組織之衝擊，使組織內產生訓練發展之需要。
六、職業生涯規劃及生計諮商的觀念與技術，已為大部份公司所接受，只是尚未制度
化的實施而已。
七、組織的變革與發展及員工的訓練發展需要相關聯，而組織發展之技術已被運用於
評估中。
八、資本形成分屬中、美、日企業間，其需要評估之作法並沒有顯著差異存在。
貳、企業內訓練與發展需要評估的可行模式
本研究所提出的模式以資料蒐集的規劃、蒐集資料、資料分析、資料利用等四個步驟
系統化地展開，每一步驟皆列有主要工作項目及參與執行評估的單位或個人。綜觀本
模式，它可提供企業內訓練發展專家，從整體觀點，對訓練發展需要評估有所瞭解，
並可作為實際運作時之依循。
最後，本研究針對運作此一可行模式提出具體建議，以為執行評估時之參考。
