Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Povezanost dimenzija privrženosti u odrasloj dobi, emocionalne empatije i povrijeđenosti u djetinjstvu
Full text linkThe aim of this study was to examine the relations between dimensions of the adult romantic attachment and emotional empathy on the nonhealping profession sample. We also wanted to examine the role of the child abuse, i.e. the aplicability of the wounded healer concept. The measures used ware Adult Romantic Attachment Questionnaire (Kamenov & Jelic, 2003), Emotional Empathic Tendency Scale (Mehrabian & Epstein, 1972), and Child Abuse Questionnaire (Karlovic, 2001). The sample consisted of 203 female and male students of Faculty of Physical Education of the University of Zagreb. Resultes have shown negative relation between the avoidance dimension and emotional empathy, confirming the attachment theory. Significant relation between the anxiety dimension and emotional empathy has not been found, which is in disagreement with the attachment theory. Also, this study did not provide evidence in support of the role of the child maltreatmant or the wounded healer concept.Ciljevi ovog istraživanja bili su ispitati povezanost dimenzija privrženosti ljubavnom partneru i emocionalne empatije na uzorku nepomagačkog zanimanja. Također smo željeli ispitati ulogu zlostavljanja (povrijeđenosti) u djetinjstvu odnosno ispitati primjenjivost koncepta povrijeđenog liječitelja (eng. Wounded healer concept). Mjerni instrumenti korišteni u istraživanju su Upitnik privrženosti prema ljubavnim partnerima (Kamenov i Jelić, 2003), Skala emocionalne empatije (Mehrabian i Epstein, 1972) i Upitnik o zlostavljanju u djetinjstvu (Karlović, 2001). Istraživanje je provedeno na 203 studentice i studenata Kineziološkog fakulteta u Zagrebu. Dobivena je negativna povezanost dimenzije izbjegavanja sa emocionalnom empatijom, što je u skladu s teorijom privrženosti, dok nije dobivena povezanost dimenzije anksioznosti i emocionalne empatije, što nije u skladu s tom teorijom. Odnos dimenzije anksioznosti i emocionalne empatije nije moguće objasniti pomoću povrijeđenosti u djetinjstvu odnosno logikom koncepta povrijeđenog liječitelja

The role of monitoring in the relationship of implicit theories of sport activities and sport achievement
No full textIspitivan je dio SOMA modela Model postavljanje-upravljanje-motrenje-postignuće) Burnettea i suradnika (2013) vezan za proces motrenja u području sporta i tjelesne aktivnosti, odnosno ispitana je povezanost misaonog postava s postignućem uzimajući u obzir meta i akcijske petlje kao medijatore i ego prijetnju kao moderator te veze. Kao mjera misaonog postava korištena je dvofaktorska eksplicitna mjera i implicitna mjera, a kao medijatori su uz direktne mjere (procjena udaljenosti od cilja i procjena brzine dolaska do cilja) korištene i indirektne mjere (Haninove aktivirajuće i depresirajuće negativne emocije, te očekivanje postignuća). Ego prijetnja je ispitana korištenjem S-R modela. Ispitanici su bili 263 studenata Kineziološkog fakulteta s iskustvom natjecanja u raznim sportovima. Ispitanici su ispunjavali bateriju online upitnika. Rezultati nisu potvrdili razliku između direktne povezanosti negativnih aktivirajućih emocija s postignućem, u odnosu na povezanost negativnih depresirajućih emocija s postignućem kao što je bilo očekivano, iako te dvije kategorije emocija u modelu pokazuju određenu razliku u objašnjenju pojedinih veza. Rezultati su potvrdili značajnost akcijske i meta petlje kao medijatora u pojedinim vezama između misaonog postava i postignuća u sportu, a ego prijetnja se pritom pokazala kao značajan moderator određenih veza u modelu. Dobiveni rezultati proširuju spoznaje i doprinose boljem razumijevanju odnosa misaonog postava, procesa motrenja i postignuća u kontekstu sporta i tjelesne aktivnosti.The part of SOMA model (Setting/ Operating/ Monitoring/ Achievement Model) of Burnette and colleagues (2013) focused at monitoring process, with special focus at sport and physical activity has been tested. Specificaly, the relationship between implicit theories (mindset) in sport and achievement, considering meta and action loop as madiators and ego threath as a moderator of this relationship has been tested. As a measurement of mindset, two-factor explicit and implicit measures were used. As mediator measures, two direct measures (assesment of distace form goal and velocity-rate of progress toward the goal) and two indirect measures (Hanin's negative helpful and negative harmful emotions, and goal expectation) were used. Ego threat was created using S-R model. Participants were 263 students of Kinesiology with experience in sport competitions in different sports. Participants complited the batery of online questionnaires. Results did not confirm a difference of direct connection between negative helpful emotions with achievement compared to negative harmful emotions with achievement as expected although those two categories of emotions showed different contribution in explaining specific connections in SOMA model. Path analyses revealed meta and action loop as significant mediators in some connections between implicit theories and achievement. Ego threat was also a significant moderator for certain connections. These findings extend knowledge and contribute to better understanding of relations between implicit theories, monitoring process and achievement in sport and physical activity
