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
Studi Poliembrioni, Viabilitas Benih dan Identifikasi Genetik Semaian Jeruk Japansche Citroen (Citrus limonia Osbeck.) menggunakan SSR
No full textJapansche Citroen (Citrus limonia Osbeck) or JC is citrus rootstock that is often used by Indonesian citrus farmer because its wide adaptation ability and has resistant to several diseases. JC seeds should have physical, physiological, genetic and health quality. Seed has maximum quality when it is reached at the time of physiological maturity. Seed maturity, in general is decided by physical appearance of fruit, such as rind colour changes. JC seeds have polyembryony characteristic; threrefore one or more embryos per seed consist of either zygotic embryo and or nucellar embryo. Nucellar embryo can be useful for clonal propagation. Nevertheles, there were off type seedling. It is necessary to identify seedling base on morphology and molecular marker such as SSR marker. Morphology marker was easy to used and cheap, but the trully genetic must be identify with SSR. SSR could differenciate between homozygot and heterozigot genotype. The aims of this research were to acquire information about poliembryony on JC citrus, to determine physiological maturity of JC seed base on rind colour and fruit hardness, to know the effect of fruits maturity to physical and physiological quality of seed, genetic quality and number of seedling, and to identify JC seedling base on morphology marker and SSR marker. The research was conducted in Indonesian Citrus and Subtropical Fruits Research Institute from April 2012 to January 2013. The research consisted of three experiments, there were 1) study on polyembryony of JC , 2) study on effect of fruits maturity level to physical and physiological quality of seed, genetic quality and number of seedling, and 3) identification of JC seedling base on morphology marker and SSR marker. Experiment I was conducted based on visual observations on each of 30 seeds of five maturity levels. Criteria of fruit maturity are 1) dark green rind, hard fruit (> 7 kg/cm2), 2) green yellow rind, rather hard (6-7 kg/cm2), 3) pieces of yellowish green rind, rather soft (5-5.9 kg/cm2), 4) >90% yellow rind, soft (4-4.9 kg/cm2) and 5) pieces of yellow-orange rind, very soft (< 4 kg/cm2). The experiment variable were seed coat colour, the mean number of embryos per seed, polyembryony seed percentage (%) and the dominant colour of the embryo. Experiment II used randomized completely block design (RCBD) one factor. The factor is five maturity level base on fruits maturity. The criteria of fruits maturity are equal to experiment I. Each treatment was repeated three times so that there was 15 units of experiments with experimental unit consisted of 100 seeds. The experiment variable were seed moisture content (%), dry weight of 10 seeds (g), vigor index (%), seed growth rate (%/etmal), germination percentage (%), the growth percentage (%), multiple seedling percentage (%), total seedlings, off type seedling percentage (%), and total true to type seedling. Data were analyzed with analysis of variance (ANOVA). If the results obtained by analysis of variance were significant different, then tested by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% level. Experiment III was the identification of true to type seedlings and off type seedling with morphology marker and molecular markers. This experiment used 12 samples of seedlings in experiments II and JC parent tree as a comparison. Identification of JC seedling based on descriptor list for Citrus from IPGRI with modified. Variable observed were high, the number of leaves, leaf length and width ratio, LAMI (the ratio of leaf length and width), the presence of spines, the presence of stipules and leaf shape. Identification of molecular markers with 6 SSR primers. The outline of DNA analysis with SSR markers were DNA extraction, test the quality and quantity of DNA by electrophoresis, amplification and separation of DNA by PCR, visualization of PCR results and analysis of molecular data. Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) was used to know the linkage between SSR markers and morphology markers. Cluster analysis of morphology marker and SSR marker used SIMQUAL procedure and SAHN method. The result showed that JC citrus has 1-6 embyo per seed. The persentage of JC seed polyembryony was 53.34 to 73.32%. The riper the seed, the more creamcoloured the dominant embryo and no green colour. JC seed physiological maturity was achieved in fruits with more than 90% rind is yellow, low hardness fruits, the color of seed skin was brownish cream and embryos color was cream. Seed maturity was not significantly different affect to the percentage of multiple seedling and percentage of off type seedling. Multiple seedling can increase the number of total of true to type seedling. Seedling leaves type, leaves shape and colour of young leaves, in general use as morphology marker of true to type and off type seedling. SSR primer AG14 which amplified in 170bp have linkage to LAMI < 0.75 but there were 40% bias. Characteristic of JC true to type seedling were single leaf type, light green shoot tip colour, elliptic leaf shape with cuncate leaf base, obtusus leaf tip and crenate leaf margins. Meanwhile, trifoliata leaf type, purplish red shoot tip colour and lanceolate lamina shape with rounded tip were an effective marker to identify JC off type seedling
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.
