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
Towards a systemic governance : the case of access to medecines in Algeria
No full textIl y a plus de quinze ans que les institutions internationales (BM, PNUD, OMS et NEPAD) préconisent l’adoption de la stratégie de « bonne gouvernance » dans les pays en développement comme modèle de développement. Peu de travaux, ayant exploré cette application de « bonne gouvernance » à la question de l’accès aux médicaments, ont été effectués. Nous nous sommes attelés à analyser cette transférabilité de « bonne gouvernance » au champ de l’accès aux médicaments en Algérie. Notre thèse propose alors d’étudier, de façon critique, les modalités de gouvernance de l’accès aux médicaments en Algérie. Contrairement aux approches des institutions internationales, l’approche hétérodoxe s’intéresse aux processus de transition institutionnelle qui sont marqués par des blocages, des carences, des défaillances et des ruptures profondes dans les modes d’organisation des systèmes politiques et institutionnels ainsi que dans le comportement des acteurs. Notre objectif consiste, à travers un modèle alternatif cohérent dit « processus politique d’accessibilité aux médicaments », à cibler les blocages ainsi que les séquences de l’accès aux médicaments en Algérie dont l’approche dominante n’a pu pas rendre compte. Ce processus politique d’accessibilité répond mieux aux enjeux des satisfactions de besoins en médicaments. Cette valorisation de l’accessibilité aurait pour finalité, la couverture des « coûts de l’Homme », un concept que nous avons emprunté à F. Perroux (1952). L’application que nous faisons de ce concept au cadre institutionnel de l’accès aux médicaments, constitue, à la fois, une modalité et une finalité pour la couverture des besoins en médicaments en Algérie. Par opposition au modèle figé de la « bonne gouvernance » promu par les institutions internationales, l’approche systémique de la gouvernance nous a permis de montrer les modalités de la mise en œuvre du processus d’accessibilité comme étant une réponse potentielle aux blocages de l’accès aux médicaments en Algérie.For more than fifteen years, international institutions (WB, UNDP, WHO and NEPAD) have pleaded for the adoption of the strategy of "good governance" in developing countries as a development model. Few studies have explored the application of "good governance" to the question of access to medicines. We undertook an analysis of the transferability of 'good governance' access to medicines in Algeria. Our thesis proposes to critically examine the governance arrangements of access to medicines in Algeria. Unlike the approaches of international institutions, the heterodox approach focuses on the processes of transition which are affected by institutional blockages, failures, malfunctions and deep ruptures in the modes of organization of political and institutional systems as well as the behavior of actors. Our aim consists, through a consistent alternative model called "political process of access to medicines", in targeting blocks and sequences of access to medicines in Algeria which, the dominant approach could not analyze. The political process better responds to medicines access issues, of satisfactions medication needs. This enhancement of accessibility aims to covering the "costs of Man", a concept that we borrowed from F. Perroux (1952). The application that we make of this concept, in the institutional framework of medicines access, is both a method and a purpose for the coverage of drugs needs in Algeria. Contrary to the fixed model of 'good governance' promoted by international institutions, governance systems approach allowed us to show the terms of the implementation process of accessibility as a potential response to the blockage of the access to medicines in Algeria
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
