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

Full text linkThe traditional forest inventory based usually on thousands of the circle plots (radius = 12.62m; area 500 sq m) set in regular network. On every inventory plot, the basic tree and forest stand parameters have to be collected using calliper and hypsometer or even human eye (i.e. crown closure) as well. The modern multifunctional forestry models requires more and more: dens and accurate data to deliver as fast as possible the precise information on the amount of wood stock or other selected forest stand and tree parameters. One of the promising remote sensing technologies is LiDAR collecting the 3D point cloud data. The TLS technology is very precise and fast but is limited to relatively small areas like forest inventory plot. The ALS is more focused on wide-area data collection. Both technologies are complementary, therefore it is a need for the fusion of those two sources of information to enhance the accuracy of tree parameters and enlarge the results for the wide forest areas with statistical models. Paper presents a method of the TLS and ALS point cloud registration and transformation to one coordinate system. The goal of the data fusion was the semi-automatic extraction of the trees selected parameter (height, DBH, basal area, crown closure, base of crown, 2D and 3D tree crown surface) of the TR2 transect in Niepolomice Forest (Krakow, Poland). The results showed that the big potential of the enhancement of height and crown closure or base of the crown exists. Resumo O inventário florestal tradicional baseia-se normalmente em milhares de parcelas circulares (raio = 12,62 m, área 500 m²) dispostas em uma malha regular. Em cada parcela do inventário, os parâmetros básicos da árvore e do povoamento devem sercoletados usando suta e hipsômetro ou até mesmo o olho humano (densidade de copa). Os modernos modelos florestais multifuncionais requerem cada vez mais: dados densos e acurados para gerar o mais rápido possível a informação precisa da quantidade de estoque de madeira ou outro parâmetro selecionado do povoamento e da árvore. Uma das tecnologias promissoras de sensoriamento remoto é o LiDAR coletando os dados da nuvem de pontos 3D. A tecnologia TLS é muito precisa e rápida mas limitada a áreas relativamente pequenas como as parcelas de inventários florestais. A ALS é mais focada na coleta de dados em grandes áreas. Ambas as tecnologias são complementares portanto, é necessário para a fusão das duas fontes de informação aumentar a acurácia dos parâmetros de árvore e ampliar os resultados para grandes áreas florestais com modelos estatísticos. O artigo apresenta um método de registro e transformação do TLS e nuvem de pontos do ALS para um sistema de coordenadas. O objetivo da fusão dos dados foi a extração semi automática de parâmetros selecionados de árvores (altura, DAP, área basal, densidade de copa, base da copa, área 2D e 3D da copa da árvore) do transecto TR2 da Floresta Niepolomice (Krakow, Polônia). Os resultados mostraram que o grande potencial do aprimoramento da altura e do densidade de copa ou da base da copa existe
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

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.
