    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    Conditions for processing personal data and general principles as the spirit of the 6698 numbered personal data protection law

    Her hukuki düzenlemenin mevcudiyetinin temelinde, bu düzenleme yapılırken sonucunda elde edilmesi murat edilen bir amaç bulunmaktadır. Bahsi geçen amaç, yapılacak düzenlemenin özünü, hedeflenen sonucu yani kanunun ruhu-nu temsil etmektedir. 6698 sayılı Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanunu açısından bu özün “Genel İlkeler” başlıklı 4’üncü madde olduğunu söylemek mümkün-dür. Her ne kadar bahse konu kanunun lafzında bu ilkeler genel ilkeler olarak adlandırılmışlar ise de bu ilkelerin muhtevaları gereği temel ilkeler olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Bu ilkeler kanunda yer alan tüm hükümlerin etrafını sararak bu hükümlerin nasıl uygulanacağı, uygulanırken dikkat edilmesi gereken hususları, yani, kişisel verilerin korunması hukukunun yapı taşlarını belirlemektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında 6698 sayılı Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanununda yer alan genel ilkelere ve Avrupa Birliği Genel Veri Koruma Tüzüğünde düzenlenen benzer hükümlere bir arada yer verilmiştir. Bunun yanında, kişisel verilerin ve özel nitelikli kişisel verilerin işleme şartları hakkında da açıklama yapılmıştır.Under the basis of each existing regulation, there is a purpose that is intended to be achieved as a result of this regulation. The aforementioned purpose represents the essence of the regulation, in other words the intended result, the spirit of the regulation. Furthermore, it would be possible to say that for 6698 numbered Personal Data Protection Law, the spirit of the law is the general principles. Although these principles are named as general principles in the 6698 numbered Law, it is possible to say that these principles are main principles due to their content. These principles cover all the provisions in the law and determine how these provisions will be implemented, the issues to be considered while applying, and this makes the general principles as the building blocks of the Personal Data Protection Law. In this study, the general principles regulated under 6698 numbered Personal Data Protection Law are determined together with the similar provisions regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation. In addition to this, the conditions for processing personal data and the sensitive data are also mentioned

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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 text
    We 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

    Stanley's character polynomials and coloured factorisations in the symmetric group

    In Stanley [R.P. Stanley, Irreducible symmetric group characters of rectangular shape, Sém. Lothar. Combin. 50 (2003) B50d, 11 p.] the author introduces polynomials which help evaluate symmetric group characters and conjectures that the coefficients of the polynomials are positive. In [R.P. Stanley, A conjectured combinatorial interpretation of the normalised irreducible character values of the symmetric group, math.CO/0606467, 2006] the same author gives a conjectured combinatorial interpretation for the coefficients of the polynomials. Here, we prove the conjecture for the terms of highest degree
