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
A ciência como matéria-prima do jornalismo cotidiano: cobertura da Covid-19 pelo jornal "O Globo" em fevereiro e março de 2020
Get PDFScience Journalism is a form of Science Dissemination, capable of educating the population in relation to scientific discoveries and advances. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the press is a source of quality information for the public. This paper studies the covering of journal “O Globo” about Covid-19, between february 26th and march 11th, 2020. The goal is to understand how the subject was made understandable for the readers. Using Bardin's (2011) and Herscovitz's (2007) explanations of Content Analysis, 16 articles were examined, regarding the theme approach, number and types of sources, level of discourse and visual resources usage. It was realized that “O Globo” used a gentle tone, simplified discourse, with governmental and specialized agencies as main sources. It was concluded that “O Globo” satisfied the goal of scientific literacy, as explained by Bueno (2010).O Jornalismo Científico é uma forma de divulgação científica, capaz de educar a população em relação às descobertas e aos avanços científicos.

Este trabalho estuda a cobertura do jornal “O Globo” sobre Covid-19, entre 26 de fevereiro e 11 de março de 2020. O objetivo é entender como o conteúdo foi feito de forma a ser compreendido pelo público em geral. Usando a Análise de Conteúdo, conforme abordagem de Bardin (2011) e Herscovitz (2007), foram examinados 16 textos jornalísticos, em tratamento do tema, número e tipos de fontes, nível do discurso e uso de recursos visuais. Assim, entendeu-se que “O Globo” adotou um tratamento moderado ou alarmante, com discurso simplificado, utilizando principalmente fontes governamentais ou de agências especializadas. Concluiu-se também que a cobertura de “O Globo” realizou o trabalho de
democratização da informação, conforme apresentado por Bueno (2010)
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
O consumo de mídia dos Millennials: um estudo sobre como essa geração consome conteúdos noticiosos no Brasil
Get PDFThis work deals with the consumption of journalistic media by Millennials, the first generation
to have a closer reletionship with the digital world. In Brazil, there are few academic studies
focused on this area and, therefore, there is a need to create new perspectives for the
construction of journalistic narratives that value the type of consumption of the fastest growing
generation in the country. Thus, through an exploratory research, followed by a case study, a
survey of the main reports on media consumption in Brazil was carried out, to cross the data
and discover, qualitatively, the profile of this new generation. It is believed that the information
obtained from this data processing can collaborate to guide the consumption of journalistic
media for the next generations. After all, it was noticed that Millennials prefer the consumption
of information through the internet and value convenience when it comes to relating to different
media.Este trabalho trata sobre o consumo de mídia jornalística pelos Millennials, a primeira geração
a ter mais proximidade com o mundo digital. No Brasil, são poucos os estudos acadêmicos
voltados para essa área e, por isso, observa-se a necessidade de criar novas perspectivas para a
construção de narrativas jornalísticas que valorizem o tipo de consumo da geração que mais
cresce no país. Por isso, por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória, seguida de estudo de caso,
realizou-se um levantamento dos principais relatórios sobre consumo de mídia no Brasil, para
cruzar os dados e descobrir, qualitativamente, o perfil dessa nova geração. Acredita-se que as
informações obtidas desse tratamento de dados podem colaborar para nortear o consumo de
mídia jornalística das próximas gerações. Foi observado que os Millennials preferem o
consumo de informações por meio da internet e valorizam a comodidade na hora de se
relacionarem com os diferentes meios de comunicação
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
