Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Albert Lewin. Pandora and the Flying Dutchman: the Semiologic Potential of a Greek Myth

Bearing in mind, then, that if one wants to believe in this sort of love story must not be guided by human reason stricto sensu, he builds a world of signs, a semiologic world which this article aims at helping to interpret
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Le Projet de Loi 12146 : Infrastructures et services numériques pour la recherche
Get PDFLe projet de loi (PL) 12146 du canton de Genève, en vigueur depuis janvier 2018, porte sur les infrastructures et services numériques pour la recherche. Une thématique d’actualité, sa rédaction en 2011 a nécessité une approche visionnaire, favorisée par le contexte du moment, aussi bien au niveau de l’Université de Genève (UNIGE) qu’au niveau suisse avec les prémisses en 2011 du prochain programme fédéral « CUS P2 2013-2016 : Information scientifique : accès, traitement et sauvegarde ». L’UNIGE a joué dès le début du programme fédéral un rôle déterminant avec le lancement du projet « Data Life-Cycle Management » (DLCM) en 2015, un des plus importants en nombre d’institutions partenaires (9 au total). Ce projet est entré dans sa deuxième phase en 2018. Le PL et le projet DLCM progressent par conséquent en synergie : la technologie de préservation long terme développée dans le projet DLCM a servi d’accélérateur pour la mise en production de Yareta, le système d’archivage long terme des données de recherche pour les institutions universitaires du canton de Genève. L’expérience acquise dans l’exploitation de Yareta va à son tour bénéficier à la mise en place de l’instance nationale, dénommée « OLOS », prévue début 2020.
Abstract
The bill 12146 of the Canton of Geneva, in force since January 2018, concerns digital infrastructure and services for research. A hot topic, its drafting in 2011 required a visionary approach, favored by the current context, both at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and at the Swiss level, with the premises being laid in 2011 for the next federal programme "CUS P2 2013-2016: Scientific information: access, processing and preserving". Indeed, since the beginning of federal programme, UNIGE has played a decisive role with the launch of the "Data Life-Cycle Management" (DLCM) project in 2015, one of the largest in number of partner institutions (9 in total). This project entered its second phase in 2018. The bill 12146 and DLCM project are therefore progressing in synergy: the long-term preservation technology developed in the DLCM project served as an accelerator for the production of Yareta, the long-term archiving system for research data for academic institutions of the canton of Geneva. The experience acquired in the operation of Yareta will in turn benefit the est ablishment of the national version, called "OLOS", scheduled for early 2020
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
