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
The Status of Korean Professionals in Japan: case of Lawyers and Scholars
No full text제2차 세계대전 이후 재일동포들은 높은 법적 · 제도적 차별 장벽과 극심한 사회적 · 경제적 차별 속에서 에스닉 공동체의 정보를 축적 · 배분하는 등 에스닉 경제의 이점을 최대한 살리면서 신분 상승을 꾀해왔다. 히구치 교수는 지난 30년간의 변화를 볼 때, 이민 연구 용어로 재일코리안을 자리매김한다면 분명 모델 마이너리티(model minority)가 될 것이다. 이 용어는 현재 주로 재미 아시아계 이민에 대해 쓰고 있는데, 2세의 높은 교육수준과 화이트칼라 진출을 특징으로 한다. 재일코리안의 경우 취직 차별 때문에 재미 아시아계 이민보다 한 세대 더 오랜 시간이 걸려 모델 마이너리티의 지위에 도달했다고 주장한다. 이러한 히구치의 가설과 결론을 전문가 집단에 대입하면 어떤 결론이 나올 것인가? 이 글에서는 전문직 진출이 민족적 소수자의 사회경제적 위상을 파악하는 중요한 척도 중 하나라는 전제하에, 변호사와 학자를 중심으로 전문가들의 현황을 정리하여 일본사회에서 재일동포사회의 현재를 조명하려 한다. 무엇이 김경득 변호사 등장의 파장을 그리도 크게 했으며, 변호사 김경득의 등장이 재일동포사회의 역사에 갖는 의미는 무엇인가? 현재 일본사회와 재일동포사회에서 재일변호사들의 위상은 어떠한 것이며 거기에서 어떤 의의를 찾아야 하는가? 학자 집단은 재일변호사 집단과는 어떤 이동(異同)을 보이고 있는가? 또한 상기 히구치의 가설과 결론을 전문가 집단에 대입하면 어떤 결론이 나올 것인가? 이러한 의문에 답하기 위해 필자가 일부 재일변호사를 대상으로 실시한 설문 조사 및 인터뷰 결과, 그리고 주로 2008년에 을 설립하여 운영해온 개인적인 체험과 고찰을 바탕으로 재일 전문가 집단의 현황과 위상을 다면적으로 조명한다. 그리고 모델 마이너리티 주장은 기본적으로 타당하다 할 수 있으나, 1990년대에 들어와서야 본격화된 것으로 아직 수적으로 미흡하며 불확실한 부분이 많은 만큼 여전히 존재하는 법적 · 제도적 차별에 대항하는 재일동포사회의 의식적인 노력이 필요하다는 결론을 내린다.After WWII, Koreans have strived to raise their status in Japanese society by taking advantage of ethnic economy such as accumulating and distributing the ethnic communitys information under the huge barriers of legal/institutional discriminations and oppressive societal or economic discriminations. Professor Higuchi contends that Koreans can be defined as a model minority, who is characterized by a high level of education and a large percentage of whitecollared workers, despite the fact that they had to endure a longer period of time (one more generation) than Korean Americans did due to discriminations in employment. If we apply Higuchis definition to a group of Korean professionals, what kind of conclusions can we get? The purpose of this paper is to address the contemporary status of Koreans within Japanese society by examining the current situation of the professional workers, particularly lawyers and scholars, under the assumption that an increase in number of professional workers is closely related with the socio-economic status of an ethnic minority. What made Kyung-Duk Kims advent such a significant event, and what kind of significance does the lawyers presence bear in the history of Koreans society? What is the status of Korean lawyers in the contemporary Japanese society and Korean society, and what is its implication? What is the difference between the society of Korean lawyers and that of other scholars? Furthermore, if we apply Higuchis definition of Koreans to a group of Korean professionals, what kind of conclusions or implications can we get? To answer these questions, the paper analyzed the context and status of Korean professionals from diverse perspectives, based on the authors questionnaires and interviews with Korean lawyers and particularly on his personal experience and reflection on Korean Scholars Forum in Japan, which the author established in 2008. Finally, the paper comes to a conclusion that although the concept of model minority can be a valid claim, Korean society in Japan, which is still small in size and unstable, has to make an intentional effort to confront the legal and institutional discriminations that have remained since the 1990s
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.
