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
The museum's contribution to the attractiveness of the destination offer. : Final work
No full textTurizam svake destinacije počiva na atraktivnostima koje služe u privlačenju posjetitelja odnosno turista na dolazak. Atrakcije mogu biti prirodne ili „man made“, od kojih svaka ima nekoliko funkcija: zdravstvena, politička, kulturno – obrazovna, rekreativno – zabavna, socijalna te ekonomska funkcija. Atrakcije, bile one prirodne ili „man made“, čine nukleus svake turističke ponude. Tako i muzeji čine samu srž turističke ponude neke destinacije. Najvažnija funkcija muzeja je ona kulturno – obrazovna funkcija. Muzeji su vrlo bitna komponenta modernog turizma upravo zato što sve više turista traži destinacije koje nude raznoliku lepezu turističkih proizvoda i usluga te je modernom turistu vrlo važno kulturno uzdizanje i educiranje, stjecanje i prikupljanje novih znanja i informacija te doživljavanje lokalnih tradicija u punom smislu te riječi. Opisane su funkcije muzeja u turizmu što je vrlo bitno definirati kako bi se isti mogli na kvalitetan način valorizirati te naposljetku i iskoristiti u turističke svrhe. Na kraju ovog rada naglasak je stavljen na usporedbu kvalitete i razvijenosti muzeja u maloj sredini naspram muzeja iste djelatnosti u velikom gradu. Za usporedbu napravljen je prikaz i druga dva muzeja iste djelatnosti, ali u inozemstvu, kako bi se vidjela razlika između tih muzeja, njihove kvalitete, ponude, valoriziranosti, iskorištenosti, korištenja ideja, inovacija i sl.The tourism of each destination is based on attractions that serve to attract clientele or tourists to come. Attractions can be natural or "man made", each of which has several functions, and they are: health function, political function, cultural - educational function, recreational - entertainment function, social function and economic function. Attractions, whether of natural attractiveness or "man made" attractiveness, form the nucleus of every tourist offer. Thus, museums are the core of the tourist offer of a destination. Of course, the emphasis on the function of the museum as a tourist attraction is given to the cultural - educational function. Museums are a very important component of modern tourism precisely because more and more tourists are looking for a cultural and uplifting destination, understanding new knowledge, gathering new information and experiencing local traditions in the full sense of the word. Museums as such are more represented among somewhat more mature tourists whose primary goal of traveling and visiting a destination is to visit the cultural resources of that destination. The functions of museums in tourism are described, which is very important to define so that they can be valorized in a quality way and finally used for tourist purposes. At the end of this final paper, emphasis is placed on comparing the quality and development of museums in a small area versus museums of the same activity in the metropolis and comparing two more museums of the same activity, but abroad to see the differentiation between these museums, their quality, offer, valorization. , utilization, use of ideas, innovations, etc
The bell ringers
No full textZvončari su tradicionalna maskirana skupina koja sudjeluje u pokladnim običajima, posebice prisutna u nekim dijelovima Hrvatske kao što su Kastav, Matulji, Mrkopalj i druga mjesta u okolici Rijeke. Ovi običaji obično padaju u razdoblju od Božića do korizme, s vrhuncem tijekom poklada, prije početka korizme. Zvončari su prepoznatljivi po svojim maskama i zvonima koje nose oko pojasa, ruku ili nogu. Ova zvona obično imaju cilj otjerati zle duhove i donijeti plodnost i dobru žetvu u novo godišnje razdoblje. Kroz bučne obredne plesove i mimohode, zvončari simboliziraju borbu između zime i proljeća te starog i novog godišnjeg ciklusa. Pokladni običaji uključuju različite rituale i ceremonije koje obilježavaju kraj zimske sezone i dolazak proljeća. Osim zvončara, tu su i druge maskirane skupine, poput maškara, koje se također pojavljuju u raznim oblicima i kostimima. Maškare često koriste humor, satire i izražajnost kako bi izrazile različite aspekte ljudskog života, kritizirajući društvene norme ili prikazujući fantastične likove. Maškare i zvončari ne samo da pružaju zabavu lokalnoj zajednici, već i čuvaju kulturno nasljeđe i tradiciju koja se prenosi s generacije na generaciju. Ovi običaji često uključuju sudjelovanje cijele obitelji i zajednice te imaju važnu ulogu u očuvanju identiteta i povezanosti s lokalnom kulturom i poviješću.
Svakog pokladnog razdoblja, Hrvatska oživi svoju bogatu tradiciju zvončara i maškara, običaje koji se protežu stoljećima unatrag. Ovi običaji ne samo da su dio lokalnog folklora, već predstavljaju duboko ukorijenjenu povezanost s prirodom, kulturom i društvenim identitetom. Zvončari su možda najupečatljiviji likovi pokladnih običaja. Njihove maske, često izrađene od drva ili gipsa, i zvona koja nose proizvode karakterističan zvuk koji odjekuje kroz sela i gradove. Zvončari dolaze u raznim oblicima, od velikih, impresivnih figura s upečatljivim maskama do manjih grupa koje djeluju na lokalnoj razini. Njihov dolazak označava početak pokladnih svečanosti i podsjeća na antičke rituale izbacivanja zlih duhova i pozdravljanja proljeća. Maškare također imaju svoje mjesto u ovom šarenom karnavalskom krajoliku. Dok zvončari često predstavljaju arhetipske likove kao što su medvjed, vuk, vrag ili babaroga, maškare su više sklonije humoru i satiri. Kroz svoje kostime, mimiku i plesne pokrete, maškare izražavaju širok spektar tema, uključujući politiku, društvene norme, ali i svakodnevne situacije iz života. Njihov dolazak obično je popraćen glazbom, plesom i obiljem hrane i pića, stvarajući veselu atmosferu koja okuplja ljude svih dobnih skupina.
Pokladni običaji u Hrvatskoj također obuhvaćaju razne druge aktivnosti, poput tradicionalnih igara, natjecanja u plesu ili kostimiranim povorkama. Ovi događaji okupljaju zajednicu i omogućuju ljudima da se povežu i podijele radost i zabavu. Važno je napomenuti da su ovi običaji, iako često povezani s religijskim ili mitološkim motivima, također prilika za ljudsku kreativnost, inovaciju i društvenu interakciju. Kroz pokladne običaje, Hrvatska slavi svoju bogatu kulturnu baštinu i podsjeća na važnost čuvanja tradicije i zajedničkog identiteta. Ovi običaji nisu samo obične fešte; oni su živa veza s prošlošću koja se prenosi na buduće generacije, osiguravajući da se bogata kulturna baština nastavi i dalje živi.Bell ringers are a traditional masked group that participates in carnival customs, especially present in some parts of Croatia, such as Kastav, Matulji, Mrkopalj, and other places around Rijeka. These customs usually fall between Christmas and Lent, peaking during Shrove Tuesday, before Lent begins. The bell ringers are recognizable by their masks and bells that they wear around their belts, arms, or legs. These bells are usually meant to ward off evil spirits and bring fertility and a good harvest into the new year. Through noisy ritual dances and processions, the bell ringers symbolize the struggle between winter and spring and the old and new annual cycle. Christmas customs include various rituals and ceremonies that mark the end of the winter season and the arrival of spring. In addition to bell ringers, there are other masked groups, such as masquerades, who also appear in various forms and costumes. Masquerades often use humour, satire and artistic flair to depict different aspects of human life, criticizing social norms or portraying fantastical characters. Masquerade and bell ringers not only provide entertainment to the local community but also preserve cultural heritage and traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. These customs often involve the participation of the entire family and community and play an important role in preserving identity and connection with local culture and history.
Every carnival period, Croatia revives its rich tradition of bell ringers and masquerades, customs that stretch back centuries. These customs are not only part of local folklore but represent a deep-rooted connection with nature, culture, and social identity. The bell ringers are perhaps the most memorable characters of carnival customs. Their masks, often made of wood or plaster, and the bells they carry produce a distinctive sound that echoes through villages and towns. Ringers come in many forms, from large, imposing figures with striking masks to smaller groups operating at a local level. Their arrival marks the beginning of carnival festivities and reminds of the ancient rituals of expelling evil spirits and welcoming spring. Masquerade also has its place in this colourful carnival landscape. While the bell ringers often represent archetypal characters such as a bear, wolf, devil or babaroga, masqueraders are more prone to humour and satire. Through their costumes, facial expressions, and dance movements, masquerades express a wide range of topics, including politics, social norms, but also everyday life situations. Their arrival is usually accompanied by music, dancing, and plenty of food and drink, creating a joyful atmosphere that brings together people of all ages.
Christmas customs in Croatia also include various other activities, such as traditional games, dance competitions, or costume parades. These events bring the community together and allow people to connect and share joy and fun. It is important to note that these customs, although often associated with religious or mythological motifs, are also an opportunity for human creativity, innovation, and social interaction. Through carnival customs, Croatia celebrates its rich cultural heritage and reminds us of the importance of preserving tradition and shared identity. These customs are not just ordinary festivities; they are a living link to the past that is passed on to future generations, ensuring that a rich cultural heritage continues and lives on
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
