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
La militarización de las fuerzas de seguridad en democracia y los derechos humanos
Get PDF“No voy a aceptar que nadie desangre a Colombia” (Duque, citado en Martínez Ahrens, 2021). Esas son las palabras que pronunció el actual presidente de Colombia, Iván Duque, en una entrevista que le realizó el diario El País, publicada el 31 de mayo de este año que corre. La frase de Duque cobra particular relevancia en el contexto colombiano dadas las altas tasas de violencia institucional que azotan al país actualmente y que, no obstante, recuerda también a la violencia constante que se ha vivido en Colombia desde la década del sesenta con el surgimiento de las FARC y otros organismos paramilitares (CIDOB, s/f). Los períodos de lucha constante, y el desafío presentado a las Fuerzas de Seguridad y a las Fuerzas Armadas del país, llevaron a un proceso de militarización de las mismas. No obstante, tras la firma de los acuerdos de paz en el 2016 con las FARC, las Fuerzas de Seguridad no han visto modificaciones en su regulación, por lo que la ley aún les permite reprimir y detener a ciudadanos que sean considerados sospechosos. No es de sorprender, entonces, que durante las manifestaciones, iniciadas el 28 de abril de 2021, en reclamo por la Reforma Tributaria, las FFSS reprimieran a los manifestantes, dejando un saldo de, a priori, 55 muertos y más de 2000 heridos.
Un proceso similar puede observarse en México que ha tenido que enfrentarse al crecimiento del narcotráfico, y avasallamiento de la estructura estatal, durante años. El personal militar en las calles fue en aumento para llevar a cabo la “Guerra contra las Drogas”. Sin embargo, siguiendo el informe de Data Cívica, puede observarse que “el despliegue militar no ha cumplido con la promesa más importante de todas: la reducción de la violencia criminal.” (Data Cívica, EQUIS Justicia para las Mujeres e Intersecta Organización para la Equidad, 2020). ¿Qué ocurre, entonces, cuando las Fuerzas de Seguridad están entrenadas para disparar contra su propio pueblo?Instituto de Relaciones Internacionale
Violência de gênero e Lawfare: uma análise dos casos Dilma Rousseff e Cristina Fernández de Kirchner: Gender violence and Lawfare: an analysis of the cases Dilma Rousseff and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner
Get PDFThe article discusses gender violence through the context of the Legal Theory of Judicial War - Lawfare. It is delimited to the field of politics in order to guide the most striking peculiarities of the struggle of women for public participation in representation. It punctuates the development of the Latin American scenario in the development and centralizes analysis in the process and actions followed the actions to revoke the mandate of the democratically elected presidents of Brazil Dilma Rousseff, of Argentina Cristina Fernández de Kirchner considered a blow against democracy. It demonstrates the existence of gender-based violence in the political milieu which can - as in the cases presented - be used by Lawfare in order to manipulate politics and injure democracy. It concludes by describing how the use of sexist stereotypes in the public life of women, even with small advances, is capable of promoting violence and generating obstacles to be overcome.O artigo discute a violência de gênero mediante a contextualização da Teoria jurídica da Guerra Judicial - Lawfare. Delimita-se ao campo da política com o objetivo de pautar as peculiaridades mais marcantes da luta da mulher para a participação pública de representação. Pontua no desenvolvimento o cenário da América Latina e centraliza análise no processo e ações sucederam as ações de revogação do mandato das presidentas democraticamente eleitas do Brasil Dilma Rousseff, da Argentina Cristina Fernández de Kirchner considerado um golpe contra a democracia. Demostra a existência de violência de gênero no meio político o que pode ser – como nos casos apresentados - instrumentalizada pelo Lawfare com o intuito de manipular a política e ferir a democracia. Conclui descrevendo como o uso dos estereótipos sexistas na vida pública das mulheres, mesmo com tenhamos pequenos avanços, é capaz de promover violência e gerar obstáculos a serem vencidos
Violência de Gênero e Lawfare: uma análise dos casos Dilma Rousseff e Cristina Fernández de Kirchner
No full textThis work intends to analyze the judicial prosecution of ex-president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in Argentina, as well as the impeachment of ex-president Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, from a point of view that takes into consideration the fact that they are both women who have occupied the highest place in the Executive Power. This bibliographical research tackles the menace that populism and activism in the Judiciary Power represent to democracy. The concept of lawfare is shown in this work as the first axis from which the comparison between the cases of Argentina and Brazil: lawfare as the use of the judiciary system to impose conclusions to the political process. This study points out the use of lawfare in judicial persecution
of Argentine ex-president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Brazilian ex-president Dilma Rousseff. The gender violence that manifested itself when lawfare turned against women is the second axis from which the research is developed. The use of these two lenses of analysis has allowed the researchers to point out the sexism and that gender stereotypes reinforce, with popular support, the manipulation of judicial institutes by the powerful sections of society.O artigo pretende analisar o processo judicial contra a ex-presidenta Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner na Argentina, e o impeachment da ex-presidenta Dilma Rousseff no Brasil, a partir de um ponto de vista que leva em consideração o fato de se tratar de mulheres que ocuparam o mais alto posto do Poder Executivo. Trata-se, a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica, da ameaça que o populismo e o ativismo do Poder Judiciário representam para a democracia. O conceito de lawfare vem, neste trabalho, como primeiro eixo pelo qual se desenvolverá o estudo entre os casos da Argentina e do Brasil: lawfare como a utilização do judiciário para impor rumos ao processo político. Assim, empreende-se estudo em que se aponta o emprego do lawfare na persecução judicial da ex-presidenta argentina Cristina Fernández de Kirchner e da ex-presidenta brasileira Dilma Rousseff. A violência de gênero que se manifestou quando o lawfare se voltou contra mulheres é o segundo eixo em torno do qual se desenvolve o trabalho. A articulação das duas lentes apresentadas permitiu perceber que o sexismo e os estereótipos de gênero trabalham como reforço em apelo ao apoio popular, quando os institutos jurídicos são manipulados em prol dos interesses de instâncias do poder
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
