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
Enseñar y aprender filosofía en la singularidad de las interacciones cotidianas
No full textEste escrito describe las posibilidades o limitaciones que se ponen en juego cuando enseñamos filosofía desde lo que entendemos por esta actividad y desde las formas de asumir los patrones de interacción social, configurados por relaciones de discurso,saber, poder y deseo. Su propósito es hacer visibles las prácticas que tienen lugar cuando profesores, estudiantes y filósofos (a través de su producción) se encuentran en los espacios académicos de formación profesional, donde filosofar toma formas y sentidosdiferentes en tanto no admite concepciones y discursos hegemónicos ni la ausencia del pensar. Aprender filosofía ocurre en esta trama
Subjectivation and pedagogy of care
No full textEn este escrito se exponen resultados parciales de un Proyecto de Investigación acerca de Ética y Bioética con docentes de instituciones de Educación Básica y Media del Departamento del Quindío, realizado desde el año 2011 con el apoyo financiero de la Universidad del Quindío y COLCIENCIAS. Una de las tesis relevantes en esta investigación plantea que los docentes se hacen sujetos en la singularidad de las actividades escolares del día a día, cuando ponen en escena sus saberes, sensibilidades y la pasión que los impulsa a realizar su trabajo. En las narraciones donde se hacen visibles las prácticas académicas cotidianas, la Pedagogía del Cuidado aparece como una opción innovadora en tanto ofrece posibilidades de crear alternativas frente a situaciones problemáticas, que, si se resuelven adjuntándolas a patrones convencionales, podrían generar mayores dificultades y exclusiones. Esta pedagogía se manifiesta como cuidado de procesos de aprendizaje, de niños, niñas y jóvenes, de espacios y objetos, de las familias y del maestro, entre otros; permite enfrentar situaciones críticas para que jóvenes, niños y niñas vivan actualmente y en el futuro de otras maneras. El cuidado de sí es una opción que resignifica la formación de maestros, al enfocarla en la potencia de lo posible, de lo que se construye en el paso a paso de las prácticas curriculares cotidianas.This paper presents partial results of a Research Project conducted on Ethics and Bioethics with teachers from middle education institutions of Quindio during 2011 and financially supported by University of Quindío and COLCIENCIAS. One of the most relevant thesis of this research contemplates that teachers are made subject on the daily activities at school, when they put on scene their knowledge, sensitivity and passion that inspires them to do their job. In narratives where academic practices are visible, the Pedagogy of Care presents itself as one innovative option as it offers possibilities of creating alternatives when facing problematic situations, which, if solved with conventional patterns, could produce bigger problems and exclusion. This pedagogy manifests itself as care on learning processes, of children and youngsters, of spaces and objects, of families and teacher, amongst others; allow to deal with crucial situations for youngsters and children to live them in the future in different ways. Care of Self is an option that resignifies teacher training by focus on the power of possible, of what is built step by step on curricular quotidian practices.Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación [CO] Colciencias1113-521-28307Creación de espacios y estrategias para la comprensión de lo ético y lo bioético con docentes de instituciones de educación de nivel básico y medio del departamento del Quindíon
