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
"Landschappen van pijn en herstel. Een exploratieve cognitief-linguïstische analyse van ruimtelijke metaforen in het boek Job
No full textThis thesis argues that spatial metaphors play a crucial role in the theological debate in the book of Job. A spatial metaphor understands something that is intrinsically not spatial in terms of something that is spatial. If a person feels down, up or high, for instance, these linguistic expressions do not have a physical location on a vertical axis; rather people think of emotional well-being in terms of space. Building on conceptual metaphor theory and spatial semantics, this study identifies, indexes and analyzes fossilized spatial metaphors that are primarily non-deliberately used. A systematic analysis of spatial metaphors allows the reader to unveil and explore underlying metaphorical conceptualizations and inferences that are highly significant for the message of the book of Job.
Spatial metaphors are ubiquitous in the book of Job, from its very start to its end. In the introduction to this thesis, I highlight the crucial role spatial metaphors play in the book of Job’s prologue. From the opening lines of the book, the protagonist’s ethics and well-being are conceptualized in spatial terms: Job is said to steer away from evil, he is whole, straight, and he holds on to his integrity, even when evil comes to him. In contrast to Clines’ claim that the language of the prologue is of striking severity compared to the ‘rich metaphor-laden language of the dialogues,’ spatial conceptual metaphors are important for the characterization of Job and his situation in the prologue.nbsp;predominance of spatial metaphors throughout the book has not been described before.
Three subsidiary clusters of spatial metaphors are investigated in more detail in this study. The chapter Boundaries and Containment illustrates how metaphors for enmity draw on the concept of the boundary: boundaries can be broken, they can be protective, and they can limit mobility. Boundary metaphors are regularly collocated and they bring coherence to otherwise disparate passages (also providing new exegetical insights, for instance, in 21:23-24). The chapter Place and Placelessness highlights how the relation between people and their place is used as a source domain for the metaphorical conceptualization of retribution and ill-being. Job challenges thenbsp;that the wicked are torn from their tent and that the dwelling of the righteous is safe. Bildad states that if Job is righteous, he will be restored to his right place. The relationship between people and their place is also conceptualized in terms of rootedness and rootlessness; likewise, it is present in the conceptualization of abstract properties as located possessions one struggles to hold on to (Job holds on to his integrity, but his right is taken away from him). In the chapter Distance and Direction it is shown that Job conceptualizes ethics and well-being in terms of distance and direction. The protagonist ingeniously challenges the default cause-and-effect logic which suggests that bad roads lead to bad places. He claims that he finds himself in a place to which he did not navigate. These three chapters illustrate how Job phrases his challenges to God, his behavior, and his creation in spatial terms.
The divine speech in its turn challenges Jobnbsp;mental geography of brokenness, imprisonment,nbsp;displacement. It presents a different landscape: God reacts to Job’s spatial metaphorical challenges with numerous spatial questions and with literal spatial language that radically challenges Job’s scale and his perspective. Regularly, albeit unsystematically, it also alludes to Job’s spatial metaphors (for instance, by insisting on the impenetrability of the skin of the animals described in chapters 40-41). These subtle, yet ubiquitous features of the divine response challenge Job’s spatial metaphorical world and they paint the picture of a different landscape, one that can ultimately lead to Job’s healing.status: Publishe
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.
