Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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

Sobreposição de coisa julgada: uma perspectiva no exterior e no Brasil em busca de uma solução adequada para o direito brasileiro
Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Direito, Programa de Pòs-Graduação em Direito, 2015.A presente dissertação de mestrado tem como objetivo pesquisar um tema que não possui trabalhos aprofundados do direito processual brasileiro, mas que envolve conceitos e institutos fundamentais de processo civil, com um certo cunho constitucional, que, ainda possui um enfoque prático com recorrência mais do que se supõe no poder judiciário brasileiro: a sobreposição de coisa julgada, que consiste na coexistência de duas coisas julgadas sobre um mesmo objeto, ambas transitadas em julgada. A partir desse problema, é necessário buscar uma solução para que essa coexistência indevida seja resolvida, na medida em que não se pode admitir, no Brasil, que haja duas decisões transitadas em julgada sobre um mesmo objeto. Para essa pesquisa, imiscuiu-se no âmago da figura da coisa julgada, com o objetivo de identificar, inicialmente, todas as suas características, a partir de aspectos acadêmicos e práticos, com uma pesquisa sobre a aplicabilidade instituto no direito estrangeiro, tanto nos sistemas do common law, como do civil law, e ainda em sistemas específicos, distintos desses dois. Esse início se mostrou fundamental, porque a partir dele se construiu a base para prosseguir na hipótese de pesquisa desta dissertação. Posteriormente, com a finalidade de analisar e comparar o problema deste trabalho, tratou-se da sobreposição de decisões transitadas em julgado sobre um mesmo objeto no direito estrangeiro, com uma pesquisa em países que influenciaram mais diretamente nosso direito, como Portugal, Itália e Alemanha, outros de essência anglo-saxã, que possuem uma base no common law, e até em países que possuem pouca semelhança social e cultural com o Brasil, como a Noruega, mas que traz um delineamento interessante para o exame da problemática. A partir dessa pesquisa acerca do direito de outros países também foi possível demonstrar que o problema trazido neste trabalho está longe de ser exclusivo do sistema processual brasileiro, e ocorre ainda no âmbito de diversos outros ordenamentos jurídicos. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo, se deu a análise do problema no direito brasileiro, que, além de ser o objetivo deste trabalho, contém a hipótese de pesquisa realizada nessa dissertação. Com essa análise, foi possível perceber que pouco se debate o tema no direito brasileiro com a devida importância que ele merece, sobretudo porque a incidência do conflito entre duas coisas julgadas é mais recorrente do que se pode imaginar, levando à necessidade de se aprofundar a pesquisa em busca de harmonia no tratamento da questão. Destarte, a partir de uma incursão na doutrina e na jurisprudência brasileiras, foi possível chegar a uma conclusão acerca de qual coisa julgada deve prevalecer quando há a sobreposição de coisa julgada, quais os efeitos dessas decisões supostamente conflitantes, e qual o meio processual adequado para combater essa sobreposição de coisa julgada.This master thesis aims to research a topic that does not have extensive work in the Brazilian procedural law, but it involves fundamental concepts and institutes of civil procedure, with some constitutional nature, which also has a practical focus with recurrence more than it is assumed in the Brazilian judiciary: the overlap of res judicata, which is the coexistence of two res judicata on the same subject, both carried on trial. From this issue, we must seek a solution to solve this improper coexistence, to the extent that it is unacceptable, in Brazil that two judgments coexist on the same object. For this research, it was necessary to impinge at the heart of the figure of res judicata, in order to identify initially all its features, from academic and practical aspects, with a survey of the institute applicability to foreign law in both systems the common law and the civil law, and also on specific systems, beyond these two. This early research proved critical because from it was built the basis for further research hypothesis of this dissertation. Subsequently, in order to analyze and compare the problem of this paper, it was assessed the overlap of final judgments on the same object in the foreign law, with a survey in countries that influenced more directly our law, as Portugal, Italy and Germany, any others with Anglo-Saxon essence, which have a basis in common law, and even in countries with little social and cultural similarity with Brazil, like Norway, but that brings an interesting design to examine the issue. From this research about the law of other countries it was also possible to demonstrate that the problem brought in this work is far from unique to the Brazilian legal system, and still occurs under several other laws. Finally, in the third chapter, it was given an analysis of the problem in Brazilian law, which, besides being the objective of this work, contains the research hypothesis held in this dissertation. With this analysis, it was revealed that there are little debate on the issue in Brazilian academic and courts, with due importance it deserves, especially since the incidence of conflict between both res judicata is more recurrent than you can imagine, leading to the need to deepen research in search of harmony in addressing the issue. Thus, from a raid in doctrine and Brazilian jurisprudence, it was possible to reach a conclusion about which res judicata should prevail when there is overlapping of res judicata, which are the effects of these allegedly conflicting decisions, and what is the appropriate legal remedy for combat this overlapping of res judicata.Faculdade de Direito (FD)Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direit
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We 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
We 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
