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
Intellectual Capital and School Performance: A Study on Private Schools
Get PDFBu çalışmanın temel amacı İstanbul’da faaliyet gösteren özel ortaokullardaki entelektüel sermayenin yapısını ve okul performansı ile ilişkisini incelemektir. Bu çalışmanın analizlerinde, araştırmanın evreni kabul edilen İstanbul ilinde faaliyet gösteren 276 özel ortaokuldan geri dönen 252 okul yöneticisine uygulanan ölçeklerden elde edilen veriler kullanılmıştır. Verilere öncelikle betimsel analizler uygulanmış, sonuçlar çeşitli tablo ve şekillerle sunulmuştur. Bu süreçte ileride kullanılacak modellerin varsayımları da sınanmıştır. Ardından çalışmada yer alan hipotezlerin testi amacıyla Açımlayıcı ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizleri ile Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Bu analizlerin sonucunda özel ortaokul sektörüne ilişkin entelektüel sermayenin yapısı, bileşenleri, bu bileşenlerin aralarındaki ilişkileri ve de okul performansı üzerine dolaylı ve dolaysız etkilerine yönelik bulgular elde edilmiştir. Bulgular, teorik ve ampirik bağlamlarıyla tartışılmıştır.The main objective of this study is to analyze both the structure of the intellectual capital in the private schools which are active within the borders of İstanbul province and the relation between this capital and the performance of the school. Data gathered through scales practiced on the administrators of 252 private schools out of 276, which are active in İstanbul province and are regarded as the population of the study, has been used in the analysis. First, descriptive analysis has been applied on the data and the results have been indicated in charts and figures. The assumptions of the models to be used in the future have also been tested within this process. Then, Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses and Structural Equation Modeling have been utilized for the purpose of testing the hypotheses included in the study. As a result of the analyses, findings on the structure of the intellectual capital related to the private secondary school sector; its components; the relation between the capital and its components; and the direct and indirect effects on school performance have been derived. Findings have been discussed in both theoretical and empirical contexts
