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

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.

A study on the reasons of tourists' preference of all-inclusive system: Case of Antalya
No full textBu araştırmanın amacı, turistlerin tatil planı yaparken ve tatili satın alırken her şey dahil sistemini tercih etme nedenlerini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma probleminden yola çıkılarak turistlerin bu sistemi tercih etme nedenlerinin belirlenmesinin, ülke turizminin gelişmesi ve sistemi uygulayan turizm işletmeleri açısından yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
Bu çalışmada Wong ve Kwong (2004) tarafından Hong Kong'lu turistlerin her şey dahil sistemini tercih etmelerine yönelik yapılan araştırmada kullanılan anket esas alınmıştır. Türkçe ve İngilizce olmak üzere iki dilde hazırlanan anket yöntemi ile veriler toplanmıştır. Ankette demografik değişkenleri belirlemeye yönelik 13 adet soru ve turistlerin her şey dahil sistemini tercih etmelerine etki eden faktörleri belirlemeye yönelik 5'li Likert ölçeğine göre hazırlanmış 30 adet kapalı uçlu önerme yer almaktadır.
Araştırma, iki aşamada gerçekleştirilmiştir. Pilot uygulama, Antalya ilinde 3 sektör temsilcisi, 5 işletme yöneticisi ve 20 turistin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Pilot uygulama sonucunda ankette yer alan sorularda çelişkili ya da anlaşılmaz ifadeler bulunmadığı tespit edilmiş ve çalışmanın görünüş geçerliliği sağlandığı için belirlenen örneklem üzerinde veri toplanmaya başlanmıştır. Asıl uygulama 387 turistin katılımıyla yürütülmüştür.
Araştırmanın evrenini Antalya ilinde 2009 yılı Eylül ayından 2010 yılı Temmuz ayına kadar olan sürede 5 yıldızlı otellerde ve birinci sınıf tatil köylerinde paket tur kapsamında her şey dahil sistemi ile konaklayan turistler oluşturmaktadır. Bu kapsamda verilerin geçerliliğini artırmak ve tüm evrene genelleyebilmek amacıyla evrenden seçilmiş otel ve tatil köylerine aylar itibariyle, içinde bulunulan ayın belli günlerinde giriş yapan ilk 10 turist seçilerek 387 katılımcı ile araştırma verileri toplanmıştır.
Araştırma bulgularına göre turistlerin her şey dahil sistemini tercih etme nedenleri arasında ilk üç sırada turun iptal edilmeme garantisi, fiyat ve fiyata dahil olanlar ifadeleri gelmektedir. Ayrıca yapılan faktör analizi sonucunda yenilikler, fiyat ve seyahatin özellikleri faktörlerinin her şey dahil sistemini tercih etme nedenleri arasında ilk üç sırada yer aldıkları görülmüştür.The purpose of this study is to put forward the main preference reasons of tourists of all-inclusive system while planning their vacation or purchasing a holiday package. It is assumed that, determination of reasons of preference of all inclusive system will be beneficial for the development of Turkish tourism and for the tourism establishments.
In this study the questionnaire used by Wong and Kwong (2004) on Hong Kong tourists, for the determination of reasons of preference of all inclusive system is benefited. Data collected through the questionnaires in English and Turkish. While designing the questionnaires, 13 questions on the demographic information of the respondents were prepared and 30 close-ended questions in Lycert Scale method were included and surveyed.
The research is conducted in two phases, as of pilot scheme and implementation phase. Pilot scheme is conducted through the questionnaires prepared in the direction of the information obtained from the 3 sector representatives, 5 hotel managers and 20 tourists. After the completion of the pilot scheme, since no scientific contradiction or errors were recognized in the questionnaires, the phase of implementation was initiated. The implementation phase is conducted through the participation of 387 tourists.
The sample population of the survey is the tourists who are accommodating in 5-star hotels and first class holiday villages/resorts of Antalya city in all-inclusive system, in the period from September 2009 to July 2010. In this context, in order to increase the validity of the data and to make generalization to whole sample population, the first 10 tourists, who checked into the chosen hotels in the certain days of each month, were selected. Data were collected from 387 respondents.
The findings of the research denote that, the first three reasons of the preference of all-inclusive system are: assurance of the non-cancellation of the package, price of the package, and various facilities included in the package. Additionally, according to the factor analysis, new experiences, price and features of travel were the first three factors affecting tourists' purchase decisions of all-inclusive package tours
