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
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
Azgelişmişlik ve kalkınma sorunsalı kıskacında : Sermayenin mekânsal örgütlenişi ve Batman örneği
No full textSermayenin mekânsal örgütlenişinin, sermayenin birikim dinamikleri çerçevesinde açıklanmaya çalışıldığı bu çalışmada “küreselleşme” ve “yerelleşme” tartışmaları eleştirel bir perspektiften değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Yerelliğin ve küreselliğin mekân ve zaman bağlamında farklılaştığı tespit edilmiş ve bu bağlamda Türkiye’nin sermaye birikim sürecinde küresellik ve yerellik koşulları değerlendirilmiştir. Yerellik tartışmalarının Türkiye’de tekabül ettiği alan olarak bölgesel planlama olgusu ele alınmış ve bölgesel planlamanın geçirdiği dönüşüm tarihsel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Bu anlamda yeni dönem bölge yaklaşımında öne çıkan Kalkınma Ajansları organizasyon yapısı ve işlevleri bakımından incelenmiş ve Türkiye’de sermayedarların üretim mekânı tercihi kendi tarihselliğinde tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Türkiye’de son yıllarda tekstil sektöründe öne çıkan Batman ilinin örneklem olarak kullanıldığı çalışmada Kürt Coğrafyası’nın müdahaleler ile birikim mantığı içerisine çekilişine ayna tutulmuştur. Coğrafyaya birikim mantığı çerçevesinde emek-yoğun sektörler bağlamında ucuz işçilik öngören politikaların ne düzeyde bölgesel refah, demokrasi ve barış getireceği tartışılmıştır. Mekân, Bölgesel Kalkınma, Kalkınma Ajansları, Kürt Coğrafyası, Batman, Tekstil Sektörü.In this study, it has been attempted to explain that the spatial organization of capital’s according to the capital accumulation within the framework of ‘globalization’ and ‘decentralization’ discussions have been evaluated in accordance to the critical theory. It has been also indicated that decentralization and globalization have been divided from time and space, therefore, Turkey’s capital accumulation process has been analyzed in terms of globalization and decentralization. Decentralization debates in Turkey as a term of regional planning which is corresponded to the transformation of regional planning has been discussed and analyzed chronologically. Development Agencies, which’s theoretical background has been tried to explain above summarily, have been analyzed according to its organization’s structure and functions. Moreover, it has been tried to find that the production space of Turkish capitalist’s choices in accordance to their own accumulation processes. Batman, where is used as an example of Kurdish area according to its recent importance of textile sector in Turkey, has been pointed out within the contradiction of accumulation approach and the area’s intervention. It has also been argued that the notion of cheap labor according to labor-intensive policies whether and which degree will be guaranteed regional welfare, democracy and peace by the approach of geography accumulation. Key Words: Space, Regional Development, Development Agencies, Kurdish Area, Batman, Textile Sector
Lucha kurda y autonomía democrática: cooperativas para la autogestión de la vida en Rojava
No full textThe Kurds divided and colonized between the nation-states of Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Syria stood up many times for their identity rights and fought in the four parts of Kurdistan for their liberation. The question of liberation is a daily con-versation among the Kurds. Although this question usually revolves around the rights of the —oppressed— identity or the Nation-state itself, the Kurdish movement has changed this debate and defined democratic autonomy as a new horizon of struggle under democratic confederalism, which aims to organize a social, democratic, ecological, and libertarian women’s economy through cooperatives that allow self-management of life.Los kurdos divididos y colonizados entre los Estados-nación de Irán, Irak, Turquía y Siria se levantaron muchas veces por sus derechos identitarios y lucharon en las cuatro partes del Kurdistán para su liberación. La cuestión de la libertad es una conversación cotidiana entre los kurdos. Aunque esta cuestión suele girar en torno a los derechos de la identidad —oprimida— o del propio Estado-nación, el movimiento kurdo ha cambiado este debate y definió la autonomía democrática como un nuevo horizonte de lucha bajo el confederalismo democrático, el cual pretende organizar una economía social, democrática, ecológica y libertaria de la mujer a través de las cooperativas que permiten la autogestión de la vida.
