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
Intersecting Approaches to the Study of Eating: A Focus on Intuitive, Mindful, Emotional, and External Eating
No full textThe proportion of individuals deemed overweight or obese has reached an all-time high globally, and eating disorder rates are also on the rise. These statistics make it even more important to understand eating beliefs and behaviours and some of their covariates that could be addressed with interventions. However, past research has tended to focus on eating motivations, beliefs, or styles that could lead to overweight and obesity, rather than focussing on those expected to be important to eating regulation and weight management, such as intuitive or mindful eating. Intuitive and mindful eating are expected to be beneficial because they are believed to be motivated by hunger and satiety cues and a respect and appreciation for the body, its needs, and how it functions. Related to these concepts, overeating regulation has also been described in other literature, which refers to an ability to minimise overeating specifically. The first general aim of this thesis was to understand whether these “adaptive” eating patterns were more than merely the absence, or lower levels of, maladaptive eating. Before this could be achieved, a measure of overeating regulation had to be created and examined for its component structure and validity. In addition, a second general aim was to investigate the correlates and predictors of intuitive and mindful eating. These aims were met by conducting four studies.
Study 1 included 312 Australian university students (68% women; Mage = 22 years), whereas Studies 2-4 were drawn from a large independent sample of 2,018 women aged between 16 and 81 years (Mage = 23.1 years), with the majority (86.7%) age 30 or younger, and most (87%) university students. Study 3 limited the sample to young women between the ages of 16 and 30 years with complete data, resulting in 1,663 participants (82.4% of the full sample; Mage = 20.2 years). In Study 1, an existing eating behaviour measure (i.e., the Weight Efficacy Life-Style Questionnaire; Clark et. al., 1991) was modified with the aim of directly assessing regulation of overeating. This study involved tests of this measures’ structure and convergence with emotion regulation, mindfulness, eating pathology, gender, and age. Study 2 examined the interrelations between, and the core components of, multiple measures of adaptive and maladaptive eating approaches. Study 3 examined whether intuitive and mindful eating were uniquely associated with three disordered and restrictive weight management behaviours of dieting, bulimic symptomology, and exercise for weight or shape control, as well as a fourth outcome of general psychological well-being, beyond any effects of external and emotional eating, body dissatisfaction, and BMI on each outcome. Study 3 also assessed whether intuitive and mindful eating were indirectly associated with each outcome via lower levels of external and emotional eating. Study 4 tested an expanded acceptance model of intuitive eating which incorporated two internal sources of acceptance or personal strengths, namely self-concept clarity and self-compassion, to complement the original interpersonal or external sources of acceptance of general unconditional acceptance by others and perceived body acceptance by others. This model was also tested in relation to mindful eating.
The results from the four studies suggest that (1) there is considerable covariation between operationalisations of intuitive and mindful eating, and similarity in the correlates and predictors of intuitive and mindful eating; and (2) it may be too reductionistic to view adaptive and maladaptive eating as opposite ends of the same continuum because although multiple adaptive eating measures were highly negatively correlated with several maladaptive eating measures, several other adaptive and maladaptive eating measures are better described as tapping somewhat unique attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and behaviours regarding food and eating. Implications for research, theory, and clinical practice are discussed. The current program of research highlights the complexity of eating behaviour, warranting further integration of multiple measures of eating beliefs, processes, and patterns at the conceptual and measurement levels. In particular, longitudinal research is required to determine the nuanced relationships between different eating behaviours, and the core superordinate eating styles that they may represent, as well as their impact on health and well-being, and the underlying mechanisms involved in such ways of eating. The current research findings also provide a foundation for considering how to integrate multiple fields of study related to eating, which may assist with the identification of the most critical eating behaviours or styles that will promote optimal health and well-being.Thesis (Professional Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology (PhD ClinPsych)School of Applied PsychologyGriffith HealthFull Tex
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.
