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
Capital social, juventude e pandemia:: os casos de Curitiba-PR e Florianópolis-SC
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has increased the inequalities faced in Brazil. And when we think about youth, we know that remote classes and the lack of physical spaces for socialization have increased the differences in quality between public and private education. With this, we question: what are the effects of social isolation on the levels of social capital of young people? Our objective is to analyze the levels of social capital of young people before (2016) and after the pandemic (2022), in the cities of Curitiba-PR and Florianópolis-SC. We start from the hypothesis that social isolation further eroded the already low levels of social capital existing among youth. We used the quantitative protocol, analyzing data from research carried out by the Research Center on Latin America (NUPESAL/UFRGS) with young people from public and private high schools, in 2016 and 2022, in the analyzed cities.La pandemia de covid-19 ha aumentado las desigualdades que enfrenta Brasil.

A NARRATIVA SOBRE A CORRUPÇÃO E A CRIMINALIZAÇÃO DA POLÍTICA: O IMPACTO DOS MEIOS DE COMUNICAÇÃO NO PRIMEIRO TURNO DAS ELEIÇÕES DE 2018
No full textA narrativa dos escândalos de corrupção feita pelos meios de comunicação de massa no Brasil está impactando no sentimento de aversão à política. Com isso, nossa proposta é analisar a relação entre a narrativa de criminalização da política feita pelos meios de comunicação de massa e o primeiro turno das eleições presidenciais de 2018. Hipotetizamos que a percepção que os cidadãos brasileiros têm sobre a corrupção e a política pode estar sendo influenciada pela linha de ação dos meios de comunicação de massa do Brasil, por suas características históricas especificas, as quais os distingue dos seus pares na maioria dos países ocidentais. Para isso, faremos uma análise das entrevistas dos candidatos no Jornal Nacional, identificando o discurso que os âncoras do telejornal vincularam a cada candidato
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
