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

VPRS 6348 General Correspondence Files
No full textThis series consists of the general correspondence files of the Department of Labour and Industry (VA 1027) created during the period 1964 to 1984 and added to by successor agencies. The Central Registry held most of the correspondence relating to the principal functions of the Department. These included the regulation of workplace health and safety in accordance with the provisions of the Labour and Industry Act, the Industrial Safety, Health and Welfare Act and legislation governing the use of boilers and pressure vessels, scaffolding and lifts and cranes. The Department was also responsible for industrial relations and the regulation of retail trading hours.<br/><br/>In the early 1980s responsibility for many of the Departments major functions was dispersed and the relevant records from VPRS 6348 were transferred to the inheriting Departments.<br/><br/>In 1983 responsibility for industrial relations was transferred to the Ministry of Industrial Affairs (VA 1059). Files considered inactive were transferred to the Public Record Office by the Industrial Relations Commission (VA 1009) and registered as VPRS 5464 Departmental Files: Conciliation and Arbitration Boards.<br/><br/>In 1980 responsibility for Industrial and Apprenticeship training was transferred to the Ministry of Employment and Training (VA 704) and that department inherited the relevant files. Some policy files were top numbered into the correspondence system of the Ministry and other current files were retained by them. The remaining files were appraised and the permanent records were transferred to archival custody and registered as VPRS 6348/P. This consignment consists of correspondence files relating to the Industrial Safety, Health and Welfare Act and Regulations, correspondence files relating to the Victorian Industrial Safety Council and a 10% sample of remaining (non-policy) Technical Services, Inspection Services and Employment Training files.<br/><br/>In 1995 the P1 consignment of this series was transferred to archival custody by the Department of Business and Employment (VA 3096).<br/><br/>This consignment includes policy files and files relating to after hours trading, wages and conditions and exemptions and breaches of the Labour and Industry Act.<br/><br/>The P2 consignment was transferred from the Department of Treasury and Finance (VA 3745) in 1996. These files primarily document the administration of the Workers Compensation and Motor Accidents Acts.<br/><br/>The P3 consignment was transferred from the Department of Education II (VA 3098) in 1997. These files record the administration of apprenticeship and industrial training. The files were inherited by VA 704 Ministry of Employment and Training which continued to add to extant files until 1985. However the Ministry created a new recordkeeping system for files raised from 1982. See VPRS 11383 General Subject Correspondence Files, Annual Single Number System.<br/><br/>The P5 consignment consists largely of files relating the Department's regulatory role under the Trade Practices Act 1974, Consumer Protection Act 1972 and other Acts, and includes records on its responses to complaints and research into proposed legislation
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
