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
O ensino bilingue no contexto cabo-verdiano: Que impactos tem tido a experiência bilingue em Cabo Verde na relação escola-família?
No full textO ensino bilíngue tem vindo a ganhar destaque no debate educativo em Cabo Verde. Este estudo
analisou a experiência de duas escolas da ilha de Santiago, uma no interior e outra na capital, entre 2013
e 2016, com o objetivo de compreender o impacto dessa prática na relação entre escola e família, assim
como identificar os desafios enfrentados por alunos, pais e professores. O estudo também abordou a
preparação dos envolvidos, nomeadamente a formação dos docentes para o ensino bilíngue.
Foram igualmente investigadas as atividades implementadas pelas escolas para promover o
envolvimento dos pais e da comunidade no projeto bilíngue, e os efeitos dessa participação no sucesso
da iniciativa. O trabalho teórico baseou-se em autores como Duarte (2002), Couto (1996), Diogo (1998),
Pereira (2008), Cardoso (2015) e Veiga (2015), entre outros. A metodologia foi qualitativa, utilizando
grupos focais e questionários que permitiram um contato direto com os participantes.
Os resultados mostram que, apesar dos desafios, o ensino bilíngue gerou benefícios significativos, como
o progresso académico dos alunos e o fortalecimento das relações entre a escola e as famílias. Este
estudo reforça a necessidade urgente de integrar a língua materna no sistema educativo cabo-verdiano,
contribuindo para um ambiente mais inclusivo e eficaz.The bilinguallism technique is being largely bebated on the teaching system in Cape Verde. The present
study analysed the experience of two schools: One inthe country and the other inthe capital of the
country. Wtween 2013 and 2016 to understand the impact of this practice in the relationship between
the scool and the family and also identify the clallenges students, families, teachers, parents faved during
practice. The presente studiey also approached the training of the teachers for the bilingual study.
There was also researched implemented the implementede activities by those schools in order to promote
the participation of the parents end the communities in the bilingual project for the success of this
iniciative. The theoretical framework was based on Duarte (2002), Couto ( 2002), Diogo(1998) and
Veiga (2015), among others. The methodology was qualitative using goal groups and questionnaires
which forwarded diret contact with the participants.
The result of the present work proved the although the challenges, the bilingual teaching generated
significant benefits such as stidents academic progress of the students and strengthens the relationshipe
between scool
Sucesso - insucesso escolar nos jovens imigrantes e descendentes de imigrantes caboverdeanos no 3º Ciclo do Ensino Básico no Vale da Amoreira: um estudo de caso de quatro alunos
Get PDFNeste trabalho foram analisados um conjunto de variáveis que de certa forma ajudaram-nos a compreender o sucesso/insucesso escolar dos quatro jovens de origem imigrante caboverdeana no terceiro ciclo do ensino básico em Portugal no agrupamento de escolas do Vale da Amoreira sede AVEVA e na escola secundária da Baixa da Banheira. Procuramos entender como que a origem socioeconómica influi nos trajectos escolares desses jovens tendo em conta que nas famílias imigrantes muitas vezes as necessidades básicas não estão resolvidas. Assim a investigação permitiu-nos concluir por um lado que a origem social das famílias entrevistadas vem contribuindo para aumentar as dificuldades dos filhos nos percursos escolares. Por outro lado constatamos que o contexto histórico e social vívido por essas famílias também tem influenciado no percurso escolar desses jovens. Os pais no geral estudaram em Cabo Verde e atingiram um nível académico compreendido entre o 4º e o 6º ano do ensino básico com a excepção de uma das mães que fez todo o seu percurso escolar em Portugal até ao 12º ano. Ainda mais constatamos que nesta análise que nenhum dos irmãos dos entrevistados conseguiu alcançar um nível académico superior ao 12º ano o que de certa forma acabou por influenciar as expectativas futuras dos alunos entrevistados.In this work, we analyzed a set of variables who contributed to understand the school success / failure of four descendants of Cape Verdean immigrants attending the third cycle of basic education in Portugal in the grouping of schools in the Vale da Amoreira, AVEVA headquarters and in the school secondary school of Baixa da Banheira. We try to understand how the socioeconomic origins influences their school trajectories, taking into account that often in the immigrant families the basic needs are not solved. This study allowed us to conclude on the one hand that the social origin of the families interviewed has been contributing to increase the difficulties of the children's educational experiences. On the other hand we verified that the historical and social context experienced by these families have also influenced in the school course of these young people. Parents generally studied in Cape Verde and reached an academic levels between the 4th and 6th year of basic education, with the exception of one mother who did all her education in Portugal until the 12th grade of high secondary education. Furthermore, in this analysis, none of the interviewees' siblings managed to reach an academic level higher than the 12th grade, which in a way influenced the future expectations of the students interviewed

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
