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
Fotografija kao socijalna kritika
No full textTema ovog diplomskog rada polazi od težnje za pravilnim razumijevanjem uloge fotografskog medija u formiranju društvene svijesti. Počevši od povijesnog razvoja fotografije, preko klasifikacije i određivanja smjernica socijalne dokumentarne fotografije specifično, dolazi se do okvirne slike o mogućnostima koje ona pruža za inspiriranje promjene u svijetu. Uloga i važnost fotografije opširnije se istražuju u narednim poglavljima gdje se preko razrade koncepta društvenog komentara ulazi u razumijevanje njegove uspješne realizacije prednostima dokumentarnog žanra. Najopširnije se istraživanje odnosi na analizu onih fotografija koje su vlastoručno utjecale na smjer kretanja društvenih stavova kroz povijest, jednako kao i na pregled fotografa koji su značajne komentare ostvarili. Time se omogućuje zapažanje obrazaca i karakteristika potrebnih za formiranje pretpostavki o mogućnostima koje postoje. I kako primjena tehnika digitalne manipulacije, gledajući digitalno doba, pruža uvid u semantičku vrijednost fotografije današnjice. Premda se većina istraživanja ove teze može promatrati kao informacije iz sekundarnih izvora, osnova provedenih zaključaka su vlastite misli i opažanja.

Starting with the historical development of photography, through the classification and setting the guidelines for social documentary photography specifically, we come to an approximate picture of the opportunities it provides to inspire change in the world. The role and importance of photography are further explored in the following chapters where through elaborating the concept of social commentary, one enters into understanding of its successful realization through the benefits of the documentary genre. The most extensive research concerns the analysis of those photographs that have influenced the direction of social attitudes throughout history, as well as the review of photographers who have made significant comments. This enables the observation of patterns and characteristics necessary to formulate assumptions about the possibilities that exist. And how the applying of digital manipulation techniques, while looking at the digital age, provides insight into the semantic value of today’s photography. Although most research for this thesis can be observed as secondary sourced information, the conclusions drawn are based on personal thoughts and observations. The paper also includes an experimental section that tests different digital processing techniques, with the aim of stimulating emotional performance by emphasizing the desired message
