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
Perform(atividade)s de trabalho e gênero : uma análise com técnicos e técnicas de enfermagem de um bloco cirúrgico
Get PDFA presente pesquisa apresenta uma problemática no âmbito das clínicas do trabalho, em especial as que tomam o trabalho como atividade (CLOT, 2010; SCHWARTZ, 2007), analisando a experiência do trabalho com técnicos e técnicas de enfermagem de um bloco cirúrgico, com um olhar atento para a especificidade da performatividade do gênero (JUDITH BUTLER, 2003) por entre esta experiência. Considerando a especificidade desse setor, em que o paciente se torna “vulnerável” e a mercê da manipulação cirúrgica, questionamo-nos como se dão as microgestões no trabalho e os processos de decisões ante as infidelidades do meio discutindo como ocorre a produção generificada dos trabalhadores e trabalhadoras pela experiência do trabalho como atividade. Transitamos pelo pensamento de Yves Clot, Yves Schwartz e Judith Butler, dos quais nos valemos das duas dimensões performativas assim tratadas nesta dissertação, de atividade e de gênero. Abordamos, também, as formulações de Annemarie Mol a respeito de performatividade e materialidade dos corpos. Para tanto, produzimos um percurso transverso, do ponto de vista do método, por entre Clínica da Atividade, Pistas do método Cartográfico e Praxiografia. A análise dos materiais produzidos aponta para dois eixos referentes à atividade de trabalho no bloco cirúrgico: o primeiro refere-se aos esforços de renormatizações dos técnicos e técnicas de enfermagem ao fazerem usos de si (SCHWARTZ, 2007) diante das prescrições no trabalho na gestão do cuidado de modo generificado; e o segundo discute a produção do gênero profissional e estilo (CLOT, 2010) atravessado pela produção do gênero, dedicando-nos a discutir as estratégias coletivas de produção do cuidado adotadas pelos trabalhadores e trabalhadoras. A partir dessa pesquisa, apontamos a importância de produzir estudos relativos à produção do gênero em meio aos processos operativos do trabalho.his research presents a problematic in the scope of clinical work, especially considering labor as an activity (CLOT, 2010; SCHWARTZ, 2007), analyzing the work experience of nursing technicians in surgical ward and focusing on the specificity of gender performativity (Judith Butler, 2003). Considering the specificity of this sector, in which the patient becomes “vulnerable” and at the mercy of surgical manipulation, we question how micro-management at the work and the decision-making processes take place in the face of the infidelities of the environment discussing how generified production occurs the workers for the experience of labor as an activity. Following the theories developed by Yves Clot, Yves Schwartz and Judith Butler, considering both dimensions of performativity (activity and gender), has led this study to meet Annemarie Mol and her formulations related to the notion of performance, which enables the discussion about the materiality of bodies, going beyond the discursive dimension. Therefore, the research challenge is to produce a transverse path, from the perspective of the method, considering the Activity Clinic, clues of the cartographic method and praxiography. The outcomes point to two axes related to the labor as an activity in the surgical ward: the first is related to the efforts coming from nursing technicians (SCHWARTZ, 2007) regarding to the prescriptions for a gendered care management; and the second discusses the production of the professional gender and style (CLOT, 2010) traversed by the gender production, we are dedicated to discussing the collective strategies of care adopted by the professionals. This research indicates the importance of further studies towards the production involving gender and labor processes
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
