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
The Impact of New Media on Tourism: A Study on West Bengal
Full text linkThis research report consists of informative data on tourism and the approach of new media in the tourism industry. The adaptation to new changes towards technology is a dynamic change. In this research proposal, there is a brief discussion on West Bengal tourism and some of the offbeat places in North Bengal. In the tourism industry, social media plays a significant role in communicating with tourists and guides. This research paper talks about tourism in West Bengal. This research paper initiated to discuss all the repercussions and growths of social media referred to tourism. Therefore, the role of social media platforms has a great impact on the tourism industry
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
Reclaiming the Night: A Case Study on Reception of #JusticeForRGKar on Selected Social Media Platforms
Full text link“Reclaim the Night” or “Night is Ours” is a mass movement sparked by the demand for justice in the rape and murder case of a junior doctor at Radha Gobinda Kar Medical College in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. The movement has underscored the transformative power of social media in mobilizing people from various walks of life, as thousands congregated in the streets to advocate for justice and demand safety for women in the workplace. Employing Goffman’s framing theory, this study examines how social media enabled extensive awareness, solidarity, and collective action among various communities through the analysis of digital activism strategies. Using a qualitative approach, this study investigates the intersection of gender, justice, and digital activism, focusing on how social media posts, news reports, and protest coverage fuelled solidarity and global awareness. This research underscores the significant impact of social media in sustaining grassroots movements, particularly in challenging traditional power structures and ensuring that marginalized voices are heard. Hashtags, such as #JusticeForRGKar; online group; and worldwide solidarity activities highlight the importance of digital activism in the long-term success of social movements. All of the visuals work together to amplify the core messages of defiance, unity, and systematic reform
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
