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
Internet das coisas no Brasil: a comunicação nos processos interativos das cidades inteligentes
Get PDFTese (Doutorado em Mídia e Tecnologia) - Faculdade de Arquitetura, Artes e Comunicação, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Bauru, 2021.Bibliografia: p. 174-192 e notas de rodapéDisponível em: https://repositorio.unesp.br/handle/11449/204686Direito de acesso: acesso abertoThis research aims to understand the complex digital innovation ecosystem of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology related to Smart Cities under the bias of communication. This research is based on statistical data and applied models of Smart Cities, one of the priority areas of Brazil in the IoT sector, under the suggested guidelines of the Action Plan (BNDES/ MCTIC) and the National IoT Plan (PNIoT), to promote actions through government public policies, in order to investigate the usability of IoT in the national scenario. We presuppose that the innovation provided has problems for its implementation in Brazil. We conclude that despite the various studies, consortia, plans and governmental initiatives existing in the country, there is one more desire with initial and timid actions, by some public sectors, agencies, entities and associations than concrete actions that confirm its real effectiveness for the implementation of IoT and the transformation cities in smart. The goal is to understand the applications, compare them and seek to understand, if possible, how they expand or produce new interactive communication processes generating benefits to the population. In this sense, for the precepts of Smart Cities to be implemented satisfactorily, promoting concrete improvements a communicational study to reflect the needs of contemporary society is necessary. It must be structured based on our cultural, social, economic, territorial and technological innovation diversity, aiming at the national development scenario. In addition, for the success of the implementation is necessary to be receptive to innovation through a prepared and conscious population to live in this connected space. This thesis is based on Maldonado Trans-methodology Theory (2010). Since the research crosses the areas of communication, information technology and engineering, it requires a mixture of methods and techniques to meet the necessary demands for its realization, such as the concepts of media ecology - by Postman (2015), the precepts of communication ecology and related theories covering issues related to the technological environment under the reflexes in human communication.A pesquisa visa compreender o complexo ecossistema de inovação digital de tecnologias de Internet da Coisas (IoT) relacionadas a Cidades Inteligentes sob o viés da comunicação. Nos embasamos em dados estatísticos e modelos aplicados de Cidades Inteligentes, uma das áreas prioritárias do Brasil para o setor da IoT, em concordância com as diretrizes sugeridas do Plano de Ação (BNDES/MCTIC) e do Plano Nacional de IoT (PNIoT) para promoção de medidas através de políticas públicas, a fim de investigar as viabilidades do uso da IoT no cenário nacional. Partimos do pressuposto que a inovação proporcionada encontra problemas para sua implantação no Brasil. Verificamos que apesar dos vários estudos, consórcios, planos e iniciativas governamentais existente no país, há mais um desejo manifestado através de ações iniciais e tímidas, por parte de alguns setores públicos, órgãos, entidades e associações para a implantação da IoT e a transformação das cidades em inteligentes, do que atuações concretas que firmem sua real efetivação. Como objetivo, a tese buscou compreender as aplicações; compará-las e entender como podem, se podem, ampliar ou produzir novos processos interativos comunicacionais gerando benefícios a população. Neste sentido, para que os preceitos de Cidades Inteligentes sejam implantados satisfatoriamente, promovendo melhorias concretas é primordial um estudo comunicacional, para que se reflita as necessidades da sociedade contemporânea, devendo ser estruturado com base em nossa diversidade cultural, social, econômica, territorial e de inovação tecnológica, visando o cenário de desenvolvimento nacional. Além de que se tenha uma população preparada e consciente para habitar este espaço conectado, para o sucesso da implantação, é necessário que haja receptividade a inovação, mantendo as características e identidade desta sociedade. A tese é embasada na transmetodologia de Maldonado (2010), uma vez que a pesquisa perpassa as áreas de comunicação, informática e das engenharias, necessitando assim uma mescla de métodos e técnicas para atender as demandas necessárias para sua realização, além dos conceitos da ecologia dos meios, de Postman (2015), bem como os preceitos da ecologia da comunicação e teorias relacionadas, que buscam abarcar questões ligadas ao ambiente tecnológico, sob os reflexos na comunicação humana
A segunda tela na tv digital brasileira: um estudo dos processos midiáticos interativos
No full textThe research aims to analyze the possibilities of using the interactivity in the Second Screen tool. The Brazilian Digital TV brought with in the possibility of the viewer interact with the television content through tablets, mobile and other technological devices, such as in apps, content platforms to browse or in social networks. Thus, many authors have named the new experiences as Second Screen and Social TV. But, many times because they are aggregated with a digital televisional content, they are mistaken as a single platform. Through a 'transmetodologíca' research with a documentary literature, we try to discuss issues in order to provide a study of deepening as the base for a possible definition of concepts and to establish the differences and similarities between the two technologies. To this end, and exploratory field study will be used in order to exemplify the current reality. What we observe is that there is a necessity to publish these technologies and how they work in order to extend knowledge or the Second Screen tool. We aim, even though new questions, to disseminate and build aggregate knowledge about the themes and their use in the standard of Brazilian Digital TV, to improve understanding of the population about these innovationsA pesquisa visa analisar as possibilidades de utilização da interatividade na ferramenta Segudna Tela. A tv digital brasileira trouxe com ela a potencialidade do espectador interagir com o conteúdo televisivo através de tablets, mobiles e outros dispositivos tecnológicos, sejam em aplicativos (apps), plataformas de conteúdos para navegação ou redes sociais. Assim, muitos estudiosos denominaram as novas experiências como Segunda Tela e TV Social. Mas, por muitas vezes devido estarem agregadas conjuntamente ao conteúdo televisional digital, sao confundidas como uma plataforma única. Através de uma pesquisa transmetodológica, com um levantamento bibliográfico documental, procuramos debater questões a fim de proporcionar um aprofundamento do estudo que servirá de base para uma possível definição dos conceitos e para estabelecer as diferenças e semelhanças entre as duas tecnologias. Para tal, um estudo de campo exploratório foi utilizado de forma a exemplificara realidade atual. O que observamos é que há uma necessidade de divulgação das tecnologias e de como estas funcionam, a fim de ampliar o conhecimento sobre a ferramenta Segunda Tela. Objetivamos, mesmo que através de novos questionamentos, difundir conhecimento agregado sobre as temáticas e sua utilização no padrão brasileiro de TV Digital, para melhorar a compreensão da população sobre as inovaçõe
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
