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
The need to reconcile legitimacy and legitimation to implement the right of indigenous peoples to the territory.
No full textThe objective of this research was to discuss instruments that can enforce the
legitimacy of the rights of indigenous peoples to the territory, analyzing the relationship of these
peoples with the land and the importance of demarcation and prior consultation in guaranteeing
their self-determination. To achieve this objective, the methodology of the deductive method
was used, which starts from theories and general laws to reach the particular and presents a
structure of thought that allows the validation of already existing information. The research was
bibliographic, based on existing documents on the subject, such as books, legal sources and
published scientific articles, as well as documentary research, using official documents and
statistics. As for the purposes, the research was qualitative. It was concluded that the land for
indigenous peoples covers a whole sphere that transcends the physical space, being fundamental
for their dignity, for their physical and cultural reproduction, for the maintenance of their way
of life, maintenance of knowledge and cultural expressions. The demarcation of indigenous
lands and prior consultation are crucial measures to enforce the legitimacy of indigenous
peoples' right to territory and their self-determination. The participation of indigenous peoples
in the construction of public policies directed to them is necessary, so that they are builders of
their priorities and thus can guarantee legitimacy to their right to the territory.O objetivo desta pesquisa foi discutir instrumentos que podem efetivar a
legitimidade dos direitos dos povos indígenas ao território, analisando a relação desses povos
com a terra e a importância da demarcação e da consulta prévia na garantia da sua
autodeterminação. Para alcançar esse objetivo, a metodologia utilizada foi do método dedutivo
que parte das teorias e leis gerais para atingir o particular e apresenta uma estrutura de
pensamento que permite a validação das informações já existentes. A pesquisa foi bibliográfica,
baseando-se em documentos já existentes sobre o tema, como livros, fontes do direito e artigos
científicos publicados, além de pesquisa documental, utilizando documentos oficiais e
estatísticas. Quanto aos fins a pesquisa foi qualitativa. Concluiu-se que a terra para os povos
indígenas abrange toda uma esfera que transcende ao espaço físico, sendo fundamental para a
sua dignidade, para a sua reprodução física e cultural, para a manutenção do seu modo de vida,
manutenção de saberes e expressões culturais. A demarcação das terras indígenas e a consulta
prévia são medidas cruciais para efetivar a legitimidade do direito dos povos indígenas ao
território e sua autodeterminação. É necessária a participação dos povos indígenas na
construção de políticas públicas que lhe sejam direcionadas, para que sejam construtores de
suas prioridades e assim possam garantir legitimidade ao seu direito ao território
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

A Influência das Ciências na Reviravolta Linguístico-Pragmática da Hermenêutica Jurídica
Get PDFO presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar a contribuição das ciências exatas na reviravolta linguístico-pragmática ocorrida na hermenêutica com a mudança dos paradigmas científicos. A filosofia da consciência, típica da jurisdição constitucional positivista, foi substituída pela filosofia da linguagem, fazendo com que o estudo da argumentação se tornasse o centro da hermenêutica contemporânea. Nessa passagem de paradigmas, as produções científicas influenciaram, diretamente, os pensadores, que abandonaram a certeza do princípio da causalidade para adentrarem na incerteza da teoria da relatividade de Albert Einstein. Para tanto, o presente trabalho se propõe a apresentar algumas das obras mais relevantes sobre o tema, de forma a construir uma linha evolutiva com uma breve explicação sobre as teorias científicas. Como resultado da presente pesquisa, espera-se proporcionar uma breve exposição das causas e das influências da nova hermenêutica jurídica
