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
Georg Wiener Collection. 1933-1957 Bulk: 1930s
No full textThe collection comprises 10 folders containing the original Georg Wiener collection at the beginning, followed by the collection formerly entitled “Oppeln Jewish Community”. The contents are divided into manuscripts, correspondence and community registers. Correspondence folders are arranged alphabetically. Manuscripts are arranged chronologically, where applicable.The manuscripts contain very detailed and comprehensive information regarding the history of the Oppeln Jewish community. Most of the shorter ones are handwritten in old German script, the longer ones are typed. Sometimes there are duplicates and drafts.The correspondence folders include letters between former members of the Oppeln community (post-war) or descendents of members searching for community records (1930s). These will be useful for individuals doing genealogy research as they often contain detailed information regarding a specific family. One letter to Wiener’s brother contains a partial family tree.There are several folders containing typed copies of the Oppeln and Krappitz Jewish community registers. These charts contain dates for births, marriages and deaths of community members from the late 1700s to the mid/late 1800s. Wiener typed them up from the originals in the mid 1930s. They will be very useful for individuals who know their ancestors are from Oppeln or the surrounding area.The following individuals are mentioned in this collection:Baeck, Leo ; Brilling, Bernhard ; Czellitzer, Arthur, 1871-1943 ; de Modena, Leon ; Ehrlich, Paul ; Eisenstadt ; Eliason, M. ; Ephraim, Else ; Fettmilch, Vincent ; Gumpel, Elly ; Guttentag ; Guttmann, Julius ; Jacobsohn, Jacob ; Kassel, Fritz ; Kassel, Otto ; Kassel, Walter V. ; Katscher ; Knoche, Gerd ; Kutzner, P. ; Leobschuetz ; Lippold (Muenzmeister) ; Montefiore, Moses ; Nothmann, Berthold ; Pasha, Emir ; Pinkus, Hans H. ; Schuefftan ; Wachsmann, Oskar ; Weigel, Dr. ; Wiener Family (Oppeln) ; Wiener, Georg ; Wiener, RobertThe following communities are mentioned in this collection:Baldenburg ; Beuthen ; Carlsruhe (Upper Silesia) ; Cosel ; Gleiwitz ; Krappitz Krapkowice ; Konstadt (Upper Silesia) ; Kreuzburg (Upper Silesia) ; Landsberg (Upper Silesia) ; Langendorf ; Oberglogau ; Oppeln ; Peiskretscham ; Potschen ; Ratibor ; Rosenberg (Upper Silesia) ; Strehlitz ; TostThe collection does not contain any precise biographical information regarding Georg Wiener. It may be assumed he was born in the late 19th century. Whether he was related to the Oppeln reformist Rabbi Adolph Wiener (1811-1895) is unclear, but possible. He does write about being descended from Menachem Man, high Rabbi of Vienna at the time of the expulsion of 1670, and Rabbi Itzchak Hakadosch (the former’s son-in-law), martyred in Krakow in prior to that. Wiener was very active in the Oppeln Jewish community, writing articles for the newspaper on community history and actively researching questions of genealogy for members of the community and/or their descendents. He escaped at some point in time during the Second World War to Bolivia. The means and date of escape, date of birth and death are all unknown or in any case, not to be found in the collection.Finding aid available onlineSudan ; Maranos ; Latin America ; East European Jews in Germany ; Blood accusation ; Prague ; Upper Silesia ; Breslau ; Veterans organizations ; Rural Life ; Vital statistics ; Education ; Blood accusationdigitize
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

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.
