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
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
Some characteristics of crime scene investigation in homicide cases
No full textMurder is a criminal act, where with this act the life of a person is taken carelessly or intentionally. So the target of murder is human life. In these cases, one of the first actions in the preliminary phase of the criminal procedure (investigation phase) is the inspection of the scene.
So the investigation is an investigative process for securing evidence. The Code of Criminal Procedure does not determine the method of investigation, but only the legal matter for processing. The examination of the place of the event includes many procedural actions of the investigation such as: examination of the corpse, forensic expertise, fixation of tracks including latent ones, the use of many criminalistic - forensic technological tools and devices, etc. The experts, after carrying out the inspection of the scene of the event, collect important evidence, where together with the profiling of the mode of execution (modus operandi) they create and present the versions for investigation such as: natural death, accidental case, murder, suicide, for the motives and character of those involved. In this paper, we have addressed some methodical characteristics through tools that are necessary for the investigation, processing and argumentation of murder in general.
Another characteristic in this paper is that with the procedural action of the crime scene investigation, some scientific methods are used in criminalistic tactics to distinguish murder, suicide, accidental death or natural death.
For this, we have at our disposal the tools and methods, including technical and scientific ones that clarify all the circumstances such as: The place of the criminal event, the modus operandi system, the evidence at the place of the event, the time of the commission, and where in particular they help us to discover the perpetrator the criminal offense of murder
COMPARISON BETWEEN TURKISH INFORMATION SERVICE AND ALBANIAN INFORMATION SERVICE
No full textFrom the regional point of view about some services or intelligence agencies and their systems, we have chosen the comparison between the Albanian information service and the Turkish one. In this direction, they will let us understand the hierarchy, the legislative regulation and the system of their operation. At the regional level, the information services are classified as soft, with the exception of the Turkish service. In fact, this service is part of the strong services, while it also has influence and role in Kosovo as well as good cooperation with its community.
In the information service system of Albania, there will be gaps in the satisfactory functioning of the intelligent community. This is reflected in particular in the poor amount of information that is distributed about the highest institutions of the state. In this regard, this service gives the impression that we can compare it with any non-governmental organization or civil societ
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
