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
2002-2022 yılları arasında Türkiye'de sosyal hizmetler bağlamında sosyal politikanın değişimi: Diyarbakır örneği
Full text linkGeçtiğimiz yirmi yıl boyunca Türkiye'de sosyal hizmet ve sosyal politika alanlarında reformlar hayata geçirilmiştir. Bu reformların özellikle yerel düzeyde hizmet kalitesini ve erişilebilirliğini ortaya koymaya yönelik sınırlı sayıda inceleme konusu olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de 2002-2022 yılları arasında sosyal hizmetler bağlamında sosyal politikanın nasıl değiştiğini Diyarbakır İli örneği üzerinden incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışma, nitel araştırma yöntemleri desenlerinden durum çalışması desenine göre yürütülmüştür. Ayrıca çalışma, Yapısal İşlevselci Kuramın kavramları ile ilişkilendirilerek açıklanmıştır. Çalışmada alanında uzman 20 katılımcı ile veri toplama aracı Yarı Yapılandırılmış Görüşme Formu uygulanarak derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin analizi Maxqda programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularında, son yılda sosyal hizmet alanında büyük bir değişim yaşandığı ve dezavantajlı gruplara yönelik yardımların arttığı, maddi desteklerin çoğaldığı, erişilebilirliğin ve hizmet çeşitliliğinin arttığı olumlu değerlendirmelerin yanı sıra, sosyal yardımların politik araç olarak kullanıldığı, adaletsiz dağıtıldığı ve üretim ekonomisinin zayıfladığı gibi olumsuz değerlendirmeler de yer almaktadır. Çalışmada kadın çalışmaları ve şiddetle mücadelede zayıflıklar, sivil toplum kuruluşlarının rolleri, sosyal politika reformlarının uluslararası gelişmelerle ilişkisi, sığınmacı politikaları ve çocuk yuvası sistemlerinin iyileştirilmesi gibi konularda ele alınmıştır. Son yirmi yılda sosyal hizmet alanında değişimler yaşandığı, bu değişimlerin sonucunda sosyal hizmet kurumlarının daha işlevsel hale getirildiği; ancak bazı alanlarda geliştirilmesi gerekenler alanların olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmış ve bu konularda öneriler geliştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları, İnsani Gelişmişlik Endeksi ile Avrupa Birliği İlerleme Raporları açısından da incelenmiştir ve Türkiye'nin sosyal politika ve hizmetler alanında AB normlarıyla daha fazla uyum sağlaması gerektiği, mevcut politika ve uygulamaların gözden geçirilerek iyileştirilmesine ihtiyaç bulunduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.Over the past two decades, reforms have been implemented in the fields of social services and social policy in Turkey. These reforms have been the subject of a limited number of analyses to reveal the quality and accessibility of services, especially at the local level. This study aims to examine how social policy has changed in the context of social services in Turkey between 2002 and 2022 through the example of Diyarbakır Province. For this purpose, the study was conducted according to the case study design, one of the qualitative research methods. In addition, the study is explained in relation to the concepts of Structural Functionalist Theory. In the study, in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 participants who are experts in their fields by applying the data collection tool Semi-Structured Interview Form. The data were analyzed using Maxqda software. The findings of the study concluded that, in addition to the positive evaluations there has been a great change in the field of social services in the last year and that there has been an increase in aid for disadvantaged groups, an increase in financial support, and an increase in accessibility and diversity of services, there are also negative evaluations such as the use of social aids as a political tool, unfair distribution, and weakening of the production economy. Weaknesses in women's work and the fight against violence, the role of non-governmental organizations, the relationship between social policy reforms and international developments, asylum seeker policies, and the improvement of childcare systems are discussed in the study. It has been concluded that there have been changes in the field of social services in the last twenty years, that social service institutions have become more functional as a result of these changes; however, there are some areas that need to be improved in some areas and suggestions have been developed on these issues. The findings of the study were also analysed in terms of the Human Development Index and the European Union Progress Reports and it was concluded that Turkey needs to harmonise more with the EU norms in the field of social policies and services and that there is a need to review and improve existing policies and practices
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.
