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
A experiência da criança no evento natal luz e sua relação com a dinamização dos ritos a partir do imaginário das cidades
Get PDFA partir de noções sobre Imaginário das Cidades, Cultura e Sociologia da Infância e uso de eventos para produção de experiências, esta dissertação busca compreender a experiência da criança no evento Natal Luz e sua relação com a dinamização dos ritos a partir do imaginário das cidades. A metodologia, com foco qualitativo, abrangeu, além de pesquisas bibliográficas, a etnografia, cujo campo foi realizado durante a edição do evento Natal Luz do ano de 2020. A imersão, executada em meio à pandemia do novo Coronavírus, durou 42 dias e foi dividida primordialmente em três locais situados no município de Gramado: Aldeia do Papai Noel, Vila de Natal e Rua Coberta. Dentre os resultados apresentados, pode-se salientar a identificação de três dimensões que operam diretamente na experiência da criança no evento, são elas: Dimensão dos fluxos, que aponta particularidades no modo de se movimentar dos participantes pelos diferentes espaços, bem como de interagir com as atrações; Dimensão do imaginário das cidades, responsável por elencar que os elementos gerados pelas variadas localidades participam e influenciam na experiência da criança na festividade; e Dimensão das ritualizações, que demonstra que os ritos, especialmente atrelados ao Natal, impactam nas formas de agir e de se relacionar do público analisado.Based on notions about the Imaginary of Cities, Culture and Sociology of Childhood and the use of events to produce experiences, this dissertation seeks to understand the child's experience in the Natal Luz event and its relationship with the dynamization of rites from the imaginary of cities. The methodology, with a qualitative focus, covered, in addition to bibliographic research, ethnography, whose field was carried out during the 2020 edition of the Natal Luz event. The immersion, carried out in the midst of the new Coronavirus pandemic, lasted 42 days and was divided primarily into three locations located in the municipality of Gramado: Aldeia do Papai Noel, Vila de Natal and Rua Coberta. Among the results presented, it is possible to highlight an identification of three dimensions that operate directly on the child's experience in the event: Dimension of the flows, that points out particularities in the way participants move through the different spaces, as well as interact with the attractions; Dimension of the imaginary of cities, responsible for listing that the elements generated by the various locations participate and influence the child's experience in the festivity; and Dimension of rituals, which demonstrates that the rites, especially linked to Christmas, impacts on the ways of acting and relating to the analyzed public
Turismo e eventos em notícia: um estudo sobre três importantes eventos da cidade de Gramado/RS sob o prisma do jornalismo
Get PDFTendo como base noções sobre o uso estratégico dos eventos para promoção de cidades (ALBUQUERQUE, 2004; MONTES, CORIOLANO, 2003), sobre comunicação turística (BALDISERA, 2007; 2008), sobre marca (PEROTTO, 2017), sobre marca-cidade (REIS, 2018) e sobre turismo (RAMOS, COSTA, 2017; CUNHA, 2010), este estudo tem o objetivo geral de verificar como os jornais regionais noticiaram as primeiras edições da Festa das Hortênsias, do Festival de Cinema e do Natal Luz, do município de Gramado/RS. Como objeto empírico, elege-se notas e notícias veiculadas em jornais regionais que tratam a respeito das primeiras edições da Festa das Hortênsias, do Festival de Cinema e do Natal Luz, referente ao mês anterior à realização dos eventos e ao mês imediatamente posterior aos mesmos. Como procedimento metodológico, elenca-se a pesquisa bibliográfica e a pesquisa documental, com a análise e interpretação a partir de Gil (2008). Como principais resultados evidencia-se que além de apresentar informações gerais sobre os eventos analisados, se faz presente nas notícias aspectos que auxiliaram na construção da marca-cidade de Gramado/RS.Based on the concepts of strategic use of events to promote cities (ALBUQUERQUE, 2004; MONTES, CORIOLANO, 2003), on tourist communication (BALDISERA, 2007; 2008), on brand (PEROTTO, 2018), on city branding (REIS, 2018) and on tourism (RAMOS, COSTA, 2017; CUNHA, 2010), this study has the general objective of verifying how the regional newspapers posted the first editions of the Festa das Hortênsias, of the Cinema Festival and of the Natal Luz, from the town of Gramado/RS. As an empirical object, notes and news concerning the first editions of the Festa das Hortênsias, of the Cinema Festival and of the Natal Luz which were published in regional newspapers were used, referring to the month before the events and the month right after them. As a methodological procedure, bibliographical research and documental research were used, with the analysis and interpretation based on Gil (2008). As main results, it is evident that, besides presenting general information about the analyzed events, aspects which helped in the construction of the city branding of Gramado/RS were also present in the news.

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
