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

Globale Gesundheit und kirchliche Soziallehre : Spurensuche und Impulse
Full text linkDer Beitrag macht es sich zur Aufgabe, darzulegen, wo und in welcher Weise globale Gesundheit in Texten der Katholischen Soziallehre auftaucht und welche Impulse für Global Health Diskurse daraus hervorgehen. Dazu werden Befunde aus päpstlichen Enzykliken dargelegt und interpretiert. Und es werden an zwei Texten von Bischofskonferenzen exemplarisch besondere Akzentsetzungen aufgezeigt. Zumindest kursorisch wird im Anschluss neben der theoretischen Bearbeitung der Themen auch ein Blick in die Praxis geworfen, auch das wiederum an einem Beispiel. Der letzte Teil skizziert das Menschenrecht auf Gesundheit und zeigt auf, wie es in den kirchlichen Texten präsent ist und welche Impulse von hier ausgehend gesetzt werden. Es wird anschließend aufgezeigt, dass die Prinzipien der Katholischen Soziallehre Anregungen und Korrektive für gegenwärtige Global Health Policies bieten können. Globale Gesundheit, so das Ergebnis des Beitrags, spielt in den Texten der Sozialverkündigung nur eine Nebenrolle. Dennoch können, insbesondere in Verbindung mit Erfahrungen aus der Praxis, Impulse gesetzt werden, welche normativen Orientierungen auch in aktuellen Diskursen handlungsleitend sein können und wie Praxis zu gestalten ist.This article sets out to show where and in what way global health appears in texts of Catholic social teaching and what impulses for global health discourses emerge from them. To this end, fndings from papal encyclicals are presented and interpreted. And two texts from bishops’ conferences are used as examples to illustrate particular emphases. In addition to the theoretical treatment of the topics, a cursory look is also taken at practice, again using an example. The final section outlines the human right to health and shows how it is present in church texts and what impetus it provides. It is then shown that the principles of Catholic social teaching can provide inspiration and correctives for current global health policies. The article concludes that global health only plays a minor role in the texts of Catholic social teaching. Nevertheless, especially in connection with practical experience, impulses can be given as to which normative orientations can also guide current discourses and how practice can be shaped
Gefängnis. Die Auslagerung von Unsicherheit und die Folgen für soziale Gerechtigkeit
No full textDas Gefängnis als Ort des Strafens kann als ein besonderer gesellschaft- licher Raum verstanden werden, weil es stark von anderen Räumen abge- trennt ist. Gleichwohl ist es vielfältig geprägt und bestimmt: Durch das Strafrecht, das ihm einerseits das Vollzugsziel vorgibt, andererseits durch aktuelle Entwicklungen für andere politische Ziele instrumentalisiert zu werden droht; durch den Charakter als totale Institution, durch gesell- schaftliche Erwartungen. Die vielfältigen Bestimmungen überlagern das eigentliche Vollzugsziel derResozialisierung. Sie führen zudem nicht zum Abbau von Ungerechtigkeit, sondern tragen bei zu gesellschaftlicher Segregation und verfestigen vorhandene soziale Ungerechtigkeit. Prison as a place of punishment can be understood as a special space of society because of its strict separation from other spaces inside society. Nevertheless it is influenced and formed by many ways: by penitential law, which prescribes the purpose of imprisonment and which seems to be exploited by other political intentions; by its character as total Institution and by expectations of society. These multiple determinations overlay the purpose of resocialization. They don´t lead to a reduction of injustice but they contribute to societal segregation and they reinforce social injustice
