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
Expert intervention in the regulation of behavior: a case review
No full textU radu se prikazuje slučaj dječaka kojemu je s 18 mjeseci života dijagnosticiran poremećaj iz autističnog spektra. Cilj ovog rada bio je prikazati važnost rane intervencije i što ranije uključivanje obitelji u proces podrške i potpore. Za istraživanje posebnosti u razvoju dječaka korištena je studija slučaja. Dječak je rođen u travnju 2010. godine iz uredne trudnoće i poroda mladih i zdravih roditelja. Roditelji su s otprilike 12 mjeseci prvi puta primijetili da se razlikuje od vršnjaka te potražili pomoć edukacijsko-rehabilitacijskog stručnjaka. Pristankom majke, prikupljena je i analizirana medicinska i stručna dokumentacija 9 stručnjaka: psiholog, pedijatrijski neurolog, psihijatar, logoped, terapeut senzorne integracije, medicinski biokemičar, oftalmolog, otorinolaringolog i fonijatar. Ukupno su analizirana 23 medicinska i stručna nalaza i izvješće o logopedskoj terapiji te 2 novinska članka u vremenskom periodu kada je dječak imao 17 mjeseci do navršene 7. godine života. Analizom medicinske i stručne dokumentacije, te izviješćem stručnog suradnika demonstrirana je važnost korištenja usluga rane intervencije kod prvih znakova odstupanja u razvoju, neovisno o postavljenoj dijagnozi.This paper shows a case of a boy who was diagnosed with the disorder from the autistic spectrum in the age of 18 months. The aim of this paper was to show the importance of early intervention and involving into the proces of supporting the family as eary as possible. For researching the specialities in the development of the boy, case study was used. The boy was born in march 2010., without any problems during the mothers' pregnancy or while giving birth to the child. The parents noticed destinction between the development of childs' peers and their son while he was about 12 months old, so they searched help from an educational rehabilitator. With mothers' permission, medical and expert documentation was collected and analized, and it was written by nine experts: psychologist, paediatric neurologist, psychiatrist, speech therapist, therapist of the sensoric integration, medical biochemist, ophthalmologist, otorhinolaryngologist and phonetics. All together, 23 medical and expert results and reports about speech therapy and two newspaper articles in a period from when a boy was 17 months old to the time he turned seven years old. Through the analysis of medical and expert documentation, the importance of using the services of early intervention was demonstrated – even after the first signs of deviation in development of a child, without any relations with the diagnosis that the child may or may not have
How Preschool Educators See Their Role in the Understanding of the Child - The Experiences of Croatian and German Educators

Način na koji odgajatelj razumije dijete može se povezati s kvalitetom odgojno-obrazovnog procesa, implicitnim pedagogijama i načinima na koje odgajatelji promišljaju i revidiraju vlastita znanja i ponašanja. Upravo će se zato ovim radom nastojati istražiti važnost razumijevanja djeteta i koje implikacije odgajateljeva percepcija razumijevanja djeteta ima na odgojno-obrazovni proces.
Teorijski se dio ovoga rada odnosi na prikaz nove paradigme djeteta i djetinjstva, na uspoređivanje kurikuluma grada Berlina i Republike Hrvatske, na viđenje pojma razumijevanje te na važnost uloge odgajatelja u boljem razumijevanju djeteta. Empirijski se dio rada odnosi na postizanje uvida u osobna shvaćanja i iskustva hrvatskih i njemačkih odgajatelja o načinima na koji određuju proces razumijevanja djeteta te svoju ulogu u njemu.

The way the educator understands the child can be connected to the quality of the educational process, implicit pedagogies and ways in which the educator reflects and revises his knowledge and behaviors. This is precisely why this paper will focus on the importance of understanding the child and what implications the educator's perception of the child's understanding has on the educational process.
Therefore, the theoretical part of the work refers to the presentation of the new paradigm of the child and childhood, the comparison of the curriculum of the city of Berlin and the Republic of Croatia, the understanding of the concept of understanding and the presentation of the role of the educator in better understanding the child. The empirical part of the work refers to gaining insight into the personal understandings and experiences of Croatian and German educators about the ways in which they determine the process of understanding a child and their role in it. Given the nature of the goal of this research, a qualitative, narrative approach with elements of an ethnographic approach was used since it looks at the participants in their natural environment and starts from their reference frame – personal stories (Cohen, Manion, Morrison, 2007; Halmi, 2013). Nine educators from the Primorsko-goranska County, six educators from the Međimurje County and seven educators from Berlin participated in the research and for the purpose of data collection was used semi-structured questionnaire. Through thematic networks, an analysis of the obtained results is given, which gives insight into the importance of educators understanding the child and the ways of contributing to it

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
