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
A Reexamination of the Establishment of the Liangshuifa 兩稅法 with the Concept of liang chu yi zhi ru 量出以制入 of Yang Yan 楊炎
No full textTraditionally, the historical significance of the Liangshuifa 兩稅法 has been emphasized from the standpoint of economic and political history, as exemplified by the principle of liang chu zhi ru 量出制入 and the theory of yi fan zhen chao 抑藩振朝 of Hino Kaisaburo 日野開三郎. In the history of Chinese economic thought, it is said that it was Yang Yan 楊炎 who first proposed the concept of liang chu wei ru 量出為入 and the implementation of the Liangshuifa strengthened central finance and encouraged the reconstruction of the tax system that had not functioned well since the An-Shi Rebellion. This paper reexamines this perspective. Regarding the idea of liang chu yi zhi ru 量出以制入 in Yang's plan, previous research has misunderstood its original intention. In fact, it meant determining fiscal receipts according to people's ability to bear taxes, and it was the tax principle in the newly conceived fiscal income system. Regarding the issue of strengthening central finances, we reject it based on an examination of the history of the failure of the family registration in the 14th year of Dali 大曆, which has not previously been noted. The introduction of the policy that immobilized the entire amount of tax collected and abortion of the merger of the miscellaneous duties (雑徭) show that the central government compromised with local governments, which were reluctant to reform the tax system, and consequently conceded. Yang's intent to concentrate power in the central government was not realized. The actual implementation of taxation took the form of a balance between securing regional fiscal interests and the increase in central fiscal revenue, and did not weaken the financial power of the provinces and prefectures. The greatest concern of the central government lay in securing that the established tax revenue be delivered. The Liangshuifa deviated totally from the original intention. The establishment of the Liangshuifa does not indicate centralization, but instead means that the central government abandoned the fundamental means of national fiscal management that had existed since the establishment of the Legislative System, that is, the way the central government controlled local taxes through the family register
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
