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
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
Media Ethics and Public Journalism
No full textAs we know till 20th century, traditional journalism was more passive than active. Publics were supposed to consume news through various outlets made available to them via media houses like newspapers, magazines, radio and so on. There was very little participation on part of us, the publics. But with the rise of digitally networked technologies in 21st century such as the Internet and mobile phones is reshaping reporting across the continent. Public journalism, also called civic journalism, has been drawing the attention of media people in India since several articles reviewing the topic were published Public journalism is not only a way of reporting but also a way of thinking, a philosophy regarding democracy and the relationship between media and democracy. It says that journalism is an indispensable element in the process of democracy, and that journalism must help publics participate in the process to solve problems facing their communities. Public journalism movement is most interesting in the sense that it causes us to reflect on the meaning of freedom of expression, because the movement suggests that freedom of expression is not a negative freedom, which means that no regulations are imposed on expression, but a positive freedom in which people are free to participate in the decision-making process of their communities.Public journalism, or participatory journalism as it is alternately labeled, is the act of a public or group of publics involved in the process of collecting, reporting, analysing and disseminating news and other forms of information. Instantly they are also criticized by career-journalists due to lack of their training and orientation toward the standards, ethics, norms, and practices of professional journalism. This leads journalists to say that public journalists don't uphold the traditional journalistic value of objectivity when working on a specific subject and only professionally-trained journalists can understand the ethics required of news editors and reporters.This paper analyzes the ethical issues involved in public journalism as it overlaps with many ethical concepts of Journalism and mode of operations.</div
Women sports and journalism: Case study of Indian women cricket
No full textThis research analyzes the work of various authors, published on some of the elite websites. It is done in
an order to analyze the coverage given by media to the women sports in India, taking women cricket in
the prime focus. The main aim here was to demonstrate that journalism is more about public interest than
any other news value and media prioritizes profit and the talent and hard work of some sections of the
society gets a back seat due to biological reasons. This has been shown by examining scenarios where
women gave their sweat and time to the country and got nil telecasts of their matches in return. The
aspects researched are the media strategies, power of a unified nation, skills and potential in the women
cricket team and success as a craft of media. I assessed how with the aid of social media, Indian cricket
team took a major leap towards success in 2017. This research provides valuable information in context
to the hurdles and struggles faced by women sports, primarily women cricket in India with respect to the
journalism being the friend and the foe
