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
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
Przestrzeń dla rodziców w przedszkolu. O budowaniu rodzicielskiego zaangażowania
Get PDFFor a modern man, space and place are significant components of life. Individual’s life-cycle is filled with numerous events and spaces which have different quality, which are limited, indivisible, changeable and can be assessed positively or negatively. Experiencing these spaces is connected to needs and behaviours of individuals as well as social groups. Being born in a family, a person experiences being in this place. As an adult, this person forms another family – a place and space to develop his or her offspring and to develop individually. In the following stages of life, together with family members, new places are formed. One of them is kindergarten and later – school. This is a place, which is not only identified in category of physical spaces but it is a coach of parents’ action. However, parental commitment is not always on high level. That is why, in the course of scientific research, the author tried to answer the following question: What is the way of building parental community in kindergarten, based on separating a special place for parents in kindergarten space?Przestrzeń i miejsce to istotne składniki życia współczesnego człowieka. Jednostka doświadcza w cyklu życia licznych przestrzeni, jakościowo różnych, ograniczonych, niepodzielnych, zmiennych, dodatnio lub ujemnie ocenianych. Ich doświadczanie łączy się z potrzebami i zachowaniami zarówno jednostek, jak i grup społecznych. Przychodząc na świat w rodzinie, człowiek doświadcza istnienia w tym miejscu. W życiu dorosłym tworzy własną rodzinę – miejsce i przestrzeń dla rozwoju siebie i swego potomstwa. W kolejnych etapach życia wspólnie z członkami rodziny poznaje i tworzy nowe miejsca. Jednym z nich jest przedszkole, a później szkoła. To miejsce, które nie tylko jest wyodrębnione w kategoriach przestrzeni fizycznej, ale jest terenem rodzicielskiego działania. Nie zawsze rodzicielskie zaangażowanie przebiega jednak na wysokim poziomie. Dlatego też w toku badań w działaniu poszukiwano odpowiedzi na pytanie: W jaki sposób budowana jest wspólnota rodzicielska w przedszkolu w oparciu o wyodrębnienie w przestrzeni placówki specjalnego miejsca dla rodziców
Miłość jako wartość orientująca działania rodziców wobec dziecka z niepełnosprawnością niezdolnego do samodzielnej egzystencji po osiągnięciu pełnoletności
Get PDFParental responsibility brings important values and feelings to life for both mother and father. New experience combines with giving and commitment. Parenthood becomes particularly difficult when a child is incapable of living alone. In such situations, parents refer to the perspective of love and concentrate on the progress in a child’s development. Writing this article, the author aimed at describing parenthood, performed by people who bring up wholly dependent children, in the context of seeking to define this process’ stages as well as actualised values. The studies use qualitative strategies (as the aim was to describe a socially constructed reality), with open interviews as a method. Collected narratives were categorised into four basic steps in the process of parenthood towards children incapable of living alone. They were as follows: opening up to a child, getting to know the child, understanding and acceptance. All these steps direct parental actions in terms of love and concern.Rodzicielstwo wnosi w życie matki i ojca istotne wartości i uczucia. Nowe doświadczenia łączą się z dawaniem, poświęceniem i przeżywaniem. Realizacja rodzicielstwa jest szczególnie trudna wobec dziecka niezdolnego do samodzielnej egzystencji po osiągnięciu pełnoletności. W takich sytuacjach rodzice, odwołując się do perspektywy miłości koncentrują się na trosce o postępy w rozwoju dziecka. Celem artykułu jest opisanie rodzicielstwa, realizowanego przez osoby wychowujące dzieci całkowicie zależne, w kontekście dążenia do określenia etapów tego procesu, jak też urzeczywistnianych wartości. W badaniach zastosowano strategie jakościowe (dążono do opisania rzeczywistości społecznie konstruowanej). Posłużono się metodą wywiadu swobodnego. Zgromadzone narracje poddano kategoryzacji i wyodrębniono cztery zasadnicze etapy w przebiegu rodzicielstwa wobec dzieci niezdolnych do samodzielnej egzystencji po osiągnięciu pełnoletności. Są to otwarcie na dziecko, poznanie, rozumienie i akceptacja, które orientują rodzicielskie działania w perspektywie miłości i troski
