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
Competências requeridas aos gestores em cargos de direção do Instituto Federal Catarinense - Câmpus Camboriu
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado profissional) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio Econômico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Administração Universitária, Florianópolis, 2013.O objetivo desta pesquisa foi propor as competências requeridas para os gestores em cargos de direção do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Catarinense - Câmpus Camboriú que poderão nortear as diretrizes de capacitação para o desenvolvimento de competências desses gestores. O estudo teve uma abordagem qualitativa, mas fez uso também de um instrumento quantitativo para a análise dos dados coletados. Quanto aos fins, ressalta-se que a pesquisa foi descritiva e quanto aos meios, bibliográfica, documental, de campo e estudo de caso. Para alcançar o que foi proposto realizou-se o levantamento documental e bibliográfico e uma entrevista semiestruturada com os gestores máximos deste Instituto, especialistas em gestão pública e gestores que ocuparam cargos de direção no Câmpus Camboriú deste Instituto. A partir da transcrição e análise dessas entrevistas e do levantamento documental e bibliográfico foram agrupados conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes para compor os indicativos de competências requeridas de forma geral para gestores em cargos de direção. Em uma segunda etapa, utilizou-se um questionário para validar os conhecimentos, as habilidades e as atitudes para compor as competências requeridas de forma específica, para o exercício de quatro cargos de direção do primeiro e segundo nível hierárquico da estrutura organizacional do Câmpus Camboriú deste Instituto, que posteriormente foram validados por meio da escala Likert por quatro gestores que já exerceram esses cargos. Com base na mensuração dos graus quatro e cinco da referida escala foram validados os conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes, que, agrupados passaram a compor os indicativos de competências para esses quatro cargos de direção individualizados. Para a sugestão de diretrizes de capacitação, com vistas a um programa de desenvolvimento de competências de gestores em cargos de direção do Câmpus Camboriú deste Instituto chegou-se a trilhas com base nos indicativos dessas competências, o último elemento da entrevista semiestruturada, levantamento bibliográfico e documental. Concluiu-se que os indicativos de competências requeridos para os cargos de direção do Câmpus Camboriú deste Instituto, na visão dos grupos de entrevistados desta pesquisa estão voltados às competências de gestão acadêmica e administrativa, legais, de relacionamento, de negociação, geopolíticas, globais, de comunicação, emocionais e de liderança.Abstract : The aim of this research was to propose the competencies required for the managers in management positions at the Technology and Science, Education of Federal Institute Catarinense - Campus Camboriú that may guide the training guidelines for the development of these managers competence. The study was a qualitative, but also made use of a quantitative tool for analyzing the data collected. As for the purpose, it is emphasized that the research was descriptive and the means used were, bibliographic, documental, field and case study. To achieve what was proposed a documental and bibliographic survey and a semi structured interview was carried out with the maximum managers of this Institute, experts in public management and managers who occupied leadership positions in Campus Camboriú of this Institute. From the transcription and analysis of these interviews and from the survey were grouped documentary and bibliographic knowledges , skills and attitudes to compose indicative of the competencies required in general for managers in leadership positions. In a second step, we used a questionnaire to validate the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for composing competencies in a specific manner for exercising four leadership posts in the first and second hierarchical level of the organizational structure in Campus Camboriú of this Institute, which were subsequently validated by means of a Likert scale of four managers who have held these positions . Based on the measurement of four and five degrees of that scale were validated knowledge, skills and attitudes, which were included in the pooled indicative of competence for these four positions toward individualized. Suggested guidelines for training, with a view to a program of competencies development for managers in leadership positions Campus Camboriú of this Institute came to trails indicative based on these competencies, the last element of the semi-structured interview, bibliographic and documentary. It was concluded that the indicative competencies required for managerial positions in Campus Camboriú of this Institute, in view of the groups interviewed in this research are focused on management competence and academic administrative, legal, relationship, trading, geopolitics, global, communication, emotional and leadership
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
