Some properties related to the Cantor-Bendixson derivative on a Polish space
No full textWe show a necessary and sufficient condition for any ordinal number to be a Polish space. We also prove that for each countable Polish space, there exists a countable ordinal number that is an upper bound for the first component of the Cantor-Bendixson characteristic of every compact countable subset of the aforementioned space. In addition, for any uncountable Polish space, for every countable ordinal number and for all nonzero natural number, we show the existence of a compact countable subset of this space such that its Cantor-Bendixson characteristic equals the previous pair of numbers. Finally, for each Polish space, we determine the cardinality of the partition, up to homeomorphisms, of the set of all compact countable subsets of the aforesaid space
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
Anotaciones sobre la relevancia de Wittgenstein para las ciencias sociales: las lecturas de Peter Winch y de Saul Kripke
No full textEl pensamiento de Wittgenstein ha ejercido un importante influjo en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales. Como suele ocurrir en los casos en los que la influencia de un pensador en un campo determinado alcanza una profundidad y un espesor considerables, su nombre deja de representar una posición unívoca para pasar a ser el teatro en el cual se representan posiciones diversas motivadas por algunas ambigüedades textuales, o directamente por las tomas de posición asumidas por los intérpretes respecto de las cuestiones que la obra plantea. En este trabajo intentaremos, por una parte, poner de manifiesto qué es lo que la filosofía de Wittgenstein, en particular su reflexión sobre las reglas, parecía ofrecer respecto de ciertas disputas y encerronas que asolaban a la discusión metodológica sobre las ciencias sociales hacia mediados del siglo XX. Con ese trasfondo analizaremos dos interpretaciones del planteamiento de Wittgenstein sobre las reglas, la de Peter Winch, cuyas consecuencias en el campo de las ciencias sociales ha sido explorada en profundidad, y la interpretación más reciente de Saul Kripke, cuyo impacto en el ámbito de la reflexión filosófica difícilmente podría exagerarse, y cuyas consecuencias en el campo de las ciencias sociales están comenzando a explorarse. Intentaremos caracterizar este disenso con el mayor grado de generalidad posible colocándolo bajo el contraste entre la posición que hace del seguimiento de reglas la praxis de un sujeto, y la que considera que el seguimiento de reglas es una práctica, en el marco de la cual los sujetos son constituidos.Fil: Karczmarczyk, Pedro Diego.
