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
La desconcentración en la Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social, ley 7852
No full textTesis (magister en derecho público)--Universidad de Costa Rica. Sistema de Estudios de Posgrado en Derecho, 2009El siguiente informe de investigación, corresponde a los resultados obtenidos con el análisis del proceso de desconcentración de la Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social, implementado mediante la Ley 7852. El quehacer de la Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social ha tenido una serie de modificaciones, a partir de la modernización que se esta implementando, desde el año 1993 en el Sector Salud, específicamente en las unidades prestadoras de servicios de salud, aspecto que ha permitido la implementación del proceso de desconcentración a nivel de los establecimientos de salud, lo que le confiere un grado de complejidad a su estructura y organización. En el marco contextual de la reforma del Sector Salud dentro de la Reforma del Estado, en que surge la Ley 7852 ¿Desconcentración de los hospitales y las clínicas de la CCSS¿ en el año 1998, se observa el desarrollo de una serie de conceptos ligados a la necesidad e interés público por dotar de una capacidad decisoria local a la Administración, en la prestación de los servicios, bajo el uso constante de términos tales como: regionalización, sectorización, autonomía, descentralización, eficiencia y eficacia, que en conjunto comprenden la necesidad de lograr una mayor oportunidad en la gestión directa de los recursos indispensables para atender las demandas de los usuarios. En este contexto, la intención del modelo propuesto bajo el concepto de desconcentración, en un estadio ideal, debería alcanzar los efectos jurídicos y administrativos a los que alude la Ley 7852, con una tendencia hacia una desconcentración máxima de competencias, que permita cumplir con los principios contenidos en el proceso de modernización de la Caja. En este escenario, la Ley 7852 constituye una herramienta en el proceso de cambio y mejoramiento organizacional de la Caja, ofreciendo un efecto jurídico al proceso, de medular importancia para lograr la separación funcional de roles y competencias...UCR::Investigación::Sistema de Estudios de Posgrado::Ciencias Sociales::Derech
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
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
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
