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
Dams in Southern Brazil: analysis of compensatory policies and quality of life.
No full textThe growing process of production and consumption presupposes the increasing demand of energy. In Brazil, this growing demand created the need to expand the electrical system, which was made from the 1960s, mainly through large-scale hydroelectric construction. The implementation of these mega-enterprises generates many conflicts because the populations affected by these buildings have their life changed dramatically due to the relocation. This study carried out the construction of indices from the selected survey questions prepared by "Project Research and Development: Evaluation of results and preparation of model proposition relocation programs of the population affected by hydroelectric projects" in 2011 and applied in a sample of 632 individuals relocated due to the construction of hydropower plants (HPP) Ita, Machadinho, Barra Grande, Campos Novos and Foz do Chapecó, located in the basin of the Uruguay River, on the border between the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina . In this dissertation, we have to analyze the relationship between the implementation of hydropower projects, and quality of life (social welfare, environmental sustainability and economic well-being, household infrastructure and quality of public services) of the populations affected by dams, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of compensatory policies used by entrepreneurs to repair the losses that local communities were submitted, considering that such developments impacted area of approximately 50 municipalities of the region, and the wetlands belonged in their most of the farmers, causing the displacement of about 12,800 households, which corresponds to approximately 60 thousand.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESO crescente processo de produção e consumo tem como pressuposto a demanda cada vez maior de energia. No Brasil, essa demanda crescente gerou a necessidade de ampliação do Sistema Elétrico, que foi feita, a partir da década de 1960, essencialmente através da construção de hidrelétricas de grande porte. A implantação desses megaempreendimentos gera inúmeros conflitos pois, as populações afetadas por essas construções têm sua vida alterada drasticamente em função dos remanejamentos. O presente estudo realizou a construção de índices, a partir de questões selecionadas do survey elaborado pelo “Projeto de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento: Avaliação dos resultados e proposição de modelo de elaboração de programas de remanejamento da população atingida por empreendimentos hidrelétricos” e aplicado em 2011 numa amostra de 632 indivíduos remanejados em função da construção das Usinas Hidrelétricas (UHE) de Itá, Machadinho, Barra Grande, Campos Novos e Foz do Chapecó, localizadas na bacia do rio Uruguai, na divisa entre os estados do Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina. Nesta dissertação, tem-se como objetivo analisar a relação entre a implantação de empreendimentos hidrelétricos, e qualidade de vida (bem-estar social, sustentabilidade ambiental e bem-estar econômico, infraestrutura domiciliar e qualidade dos serviços públicos) das populações atingidas por barragens, bem como, avaliar a efetividade das políticas compensatórias utilizadas pelos empreendedores para reparar as perdas a que foram submetidas as comunidades locais, tendo em vista que, tais empreendimentos impactaram a área de aproximadamente 50 municípios desta região, sendo que as terras alagadas pertenciam, em sua maioria, a agricultores familiares, ocasionando o deslocamento de cerca de 12.800 famílias, o que corresponde a aproximadamente 60 mil pessoas

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
