Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
Análisis de Caso No. 17283-2017-00111 – Femicidio
No full textTablasEl presente trabajo aborda el problema del femicidio en Ecuador, analizando su marco legal y la aplicación de la normativa en el caso 17283-2017-00111. Se examina la violencia estructural contra las mujeres y cómo el reconocimiento del femicidio en el Código Orgánico Integral Penal (COIP) en 2014 representó un avance en la lucha contra la violencia de género. El caso estudiado involucra el asesinato de J.C.V.B. a manos de su esposo, E.M.V. La relación estuvo marcada por violencia previa y culminó en un crimen brutal. La Fiscalía argumentó que el asesinato fue el resultado de una dinámica de control y violencia de género, mientras que la defensa alegó un acto impulsivo. Inicialmente, el Tribunal de Garantías Penales impuso una pena de 17 años y 4 meses, pero tras la apelación de la Fiscalía y la acusación particular, la Corte Provincial aumentó la condena a 34 años y 8 meses. El trabajo analiza dos problemas jurídicos clave: la negativa del Tribunal de primera instancia a aceptar la apelación de la Fiscalía y la valoración de pruebas en la determinación de la responsabilidad penal. Se revisa la normativa constitucional y tratados internacionales que garantizan el acceso a la justicia y el debido proceso. Finalmente, se reflexiona sobre la necesidad de reformas para mejorar la aplicación de la justicia con perspectiva de género en Ecuador.This paper addresses the issue of femicide in Ecuador, analyzing its legal framework and the application of regulations in case 17283-2017-00111. It examines structural violence against women and how the recognition of femicide in the Código Orgánico Integral Penal (COIP) in 2014 represented progress in the fight against gender-based violence. The case studied involves the murder of J.C.V.B. by her husband, E.M.V. Their relationship was marked by prior violence and culminated in a brutal crime. The prosecution argued that the murder resulted from a pattern of control and gender-based violence, while the defense claimed it was an impulsive act. Initially, the Criminal Court imposed a sentence of 17 years and 4 months, but after the prosecution and private accusation appealed, the Provincial Court increased the sentence to 34 years and 8 months. The paper analyzes two key legal issues: the initial court's refusal to accept the prosecution’s appeal and the evaluation of evidence in determining criminal responsibility. It reviews constitutional regulations and international treaties that guarantee access to justice and due process. Finally, it reflects on the need for reforms to improve the application of justice with a gender perspective in Ecuador.PregradoAbogado(a
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
