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
Auswirkungen von Inkongruenzen entlang des Realitäts-Virtualitäts-Kontinuums
No full textThis dissertation examines the perceptual and cognitive effects of incongruencies in eXtended Reality (XR) experiences along the Reality-Virtuality (RV) continuum, with a particular focus on Virtual Reality (VR) and Video See-Through (VST) Augmented Reality (AR). VST AR integrates video images from front-facing cameras on the Head-Mounted Display (HMD) with virtual content. XR HMDs, that are capable of VST AR, oftentimes also include a VR mode. While VR has been extensively studied, VST AR remains underexplored despite rapid advances in camera resolution and rendering techniques. The blending of virtual and real-world elements in VST AR frequently gives rise to perceptual mismatches, such as conflicting depth cues, misaligned virtual objects, and latency discrepancies, that challenge established XR frameworks and may adversely affect user experience.
This dissertation, incorporating five key publications and five empirical experiments, investigates effects of incongruencies in VR and VST AR, by examining both subjective reports and objective behavioral measures. While users may not always consciously detect these mismatches, the empirical findings of this dissertation reveal their significant impact on depth perception, spatial judgments, and performance. A central focus of this work is the application and refinement of the Congruence and Plausibility (CaP) model, which describes how incongruencies operate at different processing levels — from low-level sensory distortions to higher-order cognitive inconsistencies. The results indicate that AR-inherent perceptual incongruencies influence the experience at a subconscious level, challenging existing theoretical frameworks that primarily focused on VR experiences that are visually coherent. To further support this understanding, the dissertation introduces a methodological framework for analyzing and predicting the effects of incongruencies, contributing to the development of coherent and immersive XR applications.
The conducted research affirms both the complexity and promise of VST AR technologies. By disclosing how subconscious factors interact with users’ conscious perceptions, this dissertation enriches theoretical understanding and provides strategies for advancing XR research.Diese Dissertation untersucht die perzeptuellen und kognitiven Auswirkungen von Inkongruenzen in eXtended Reality (XR) Erlebnissen entlang des Realitäts-Virtualitäts (RV) Kontinuums, mit besonderem Fokus auf Virtual Reality (VR) und Video See-Through (VST) Augmented Reality (AR). VST AR integriert Videobilder von Frontkameras auf dem Head-Mounted Display (HMD) mit virtuellen Inhalten. XR HMDs, die VST AR unterstützen, verfügen oft auch über einen VR-Modus. Während VR bereits umfassend untersucht wurde, ist VST AR noch wenig erforscht, trotz rapider Fortschritte bei der Kameraauflösung und den Rendering-Techniken. Die Vermischung von virtuellen und realen Elementen in VST AR führt häufig zu Wahrnehmungsdiskrepanzen, wie z. B. widersprüchlichen Tiefenhinweisen, falsch ausgerichteten virtuellen Objekten und Latenzunterschieden, die etablierte XR-Frameworks in Frage stellen und die Benutzererfahrung beeinträchtigen können.
Diese Dissertation, die fünf zentrale Veröffentlichungen und fünf empirische Experimente umfasst, untersucht die Auswirkungen von Inkongruenzen in VR und VST AR, indem sie sowohl subjektive Ergebnisse als auch objektive Verhaltensmessungen untersucht. Auch wenn Nutzer diese Diskrepanzen nicht immer bewusst wahrnehmen, zeigen die empirischen Ergebnisse dieser Dissertation, dass sie einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Tiefenwahrnehmung, die räumliche Beurteilung und die Leistung haben. Ein zentraler Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit ist die Anwendung und Weiterentwicklung des Congruence and Plausibility (CaP) Modells, das beschreibt, wie Inkongruenzen auf verschiedenen Verarbeitungsebenen wirken – von sensorischen Störungen auf niedriger Ebene bis hin zu kognitiven Inkonsistenzen höherer Ordnung. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass AR-inhärente Wahrnehmungsinkongruenzen das Erlebnis auf einer unbewussten Ebene beeinflussen und damit bestehende theoretische Modelle in Frage stellen, die sich in erster Linie auf visuell kohärente VR-Erlebnisse konzentrieren. Um dieses Verständnis weiter zu vertiefen, stellt die Dissertation ein methodisches Framework zur Analyse und Vorhersage der Auswirkungen von Inkongruenzen vor, das zur Entwicklung kohärenter und immersiver XR-Anwendungen beiträgt.
Die durchgeführte Forschung bestätigt sowohl die Komplexität als auch das Potenzial von VST AR Technologien. Durch die Aufdeckung der Wechselwirkungen zwischen unbewussten Faktoren und der bewussten Wahrnehmung der Nutzer bereichert diese Dissertation das theoretische Verständnis und liefert Ansätze für die Weiterentwicklung der XR Forschung

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.
