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
La legítima defensa del honor en los archivos jurídicos y judiciales : un estudio sobre la violencia de género
No full textLos archivos jurídicos y judiciales son fuentes relevantes para estudios sobre la violencia de género. Entre 2020 y 2023, se produjo otro documento en el poder judicial brasileño en la historia de la violencia contra las mujeres en el país: la Acción por Incumplimiento de Precepto Fundamental no 779 (ADPF 779/2020), que discutió la constitucionalidad de la Legítima Defensa del Honor (LDH) como instituto jurídico en tribunales, ampliamente aceptada como justificación de crímenes contra mujeres hasta mediados del siglo XX en Brasil. Esta comunicación presenta la construcción histórica de este instrumento jurídico como elemento justificativo de los crímenes contra las mujeres. Para esto, se buscó explorar las categorías de análisis fundamentales para el estudio; se identificó la topografía jurídica de las exclusiones de ilegalidad en el derecho brasileño a partir de archivos legislativos y su conceptualización doctrinal; y se expusieron los impactos de la ADPF 779/2020 en el ámbito penal relacionados con delitos dolosos contra la vida de las mujeres. Desde un punto de vista de investigación cualitativa y con métodos inductivo e histórico, basado en un estudio bibliográfico y documental, buscó elementos en la legislación vigente, así como en registros de casos judiciales que involucran violencia contra mujeres en tribunales de Brasil, buscando cambios legislativos y decisiones que discutieron o se basaron en la violencia de género. Constatase que el uso de la tesis de defensa que alega la legítima defensa del honor y de la emoción violenta como excluyentes y atenuantes insiste en reafirmarse en la práctica jurídica.Fil: Barreto, Polliana de Luna Nunes.

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
Quando o anjo do extermínio se aproxima de nós: representações sobre o cólera no semanário cratense O Araripe (1855-1864)
Full text linkEste trabalho vinculado à linha de pesquisa História Regional do Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade Federal da Paraíba, com área de concentração em História e Cultura Histórica tem por objetivo discutir as representações engendradas pelo semanário O Araripe impresso na cidade do Crato, região do Cariri, no sul da província do Ceará, sob orientação de um grupo de comerciantes e profissionais liberais daquela cidade, ligados ao Partido Liberal para se referir a uma doença: o cólera-morbo. O recorte escolhido começa em 1855, ano de fundação do jornal em questão e da chegada do cólera ao território brasileiro, e termina em 1864, quando se deu o segundo e último surto dessa moléstia no Crato do século XIX, e penúltimo ano de circulação d‟O Araripe. A dissertação tem como inspiração a Historiografia das Doenças, desenvolvida, principalmente, a partir das últimas décadas do século XX, devido ao diálogo da História com outras disciplinas, tal como a Sociologia e a Antropologia. Os estudos desenvolvidos por tal historiografia têm demonstrado como o fenômeno das doenças ultrapassa a esfera do natural, na medida em que são vividas a partir de diferentes contextos e espaços, sendo interpretadas socioculturalmente pelos sujeitos históricos, que encetam múltiplas representações e práticas na busca de dar sentido às mesmas.This work belonging to the line of research of Regional History in the Post Graduation Program in History of the Federal University of Paraíba, within the area of Historic Culture has as objective to discuss the representations engendered by the weekly newspaper O Araripe printed in the city of Crato, region of Cariri in the south of the Province of Ceará, under the orientation of a group of market traders and liberal professionals of that city, connected to the Liberal Party to refer to a disease: the cholera. The period chosen starts in 1855, the year of the foundation of the referred newspaper and of the arrival of the cholera to the Brazilian territory, and ends in 1864, when the second and last outbreak of this disease happens in the 19th century Crato and before the last year of circulation of the newspaper. This dissertation has as inspiration the Historiography of Diseases, mainly developed in the last decades of the 20th century, due to the dialogue between History and other disciplines such as Sociology and Anthropology. The studies developed by this historiography have shown how the phenomenon of the diseases exceeds the domain of the natural, in that they are experienced from many different contexts and spaces, being socio-culturally interpreted by the historical subjects that start multiple representations and practices with the purpose to attribute meaning to these
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
O venturoso sumo de limão: orientações voltadas ao tratamento do cólera no semanário O Araripe em meados do oitocentos
Full text linkEste artigo analisa as orientações e receitas publicadas no jornal O Araripe – órgão impresso no interior do Ceará em meados do século XIX – a respeito do cólera-morbo. A infinidade de textos veiculados pelo jornal aponta para as divisões da medicina do período e para os usos de remédios feitos à base de ervas, frutas e outros produtos populares, demonstrando a circularidade de saberes que permeou a conjuntura epidêmica
