Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Los centros de internamiento españoles para adolescentes en conflicto con la ley : principio de resocialización desde la perspectiva del Trabajo Social
Full text linkLas medidas de privación de libertad para menores infractores exigen una atención especial por ser las más restrictivas de derechos. A pesar de esto existen escasos estudios sobre los centros de internamiento de menores y jóvenes en el ámbito nacional. Este documento muestra los resultados de una investigación empírica sobre estos recursos en España. Como objetivo se plantea verificar si en la diversidad de los centros existentes para la ejecución de las medidas de internamiento, se dan algunas condiciones básicas que promuevan el principio de resocialización en el que se fundamenta la ley. Los resultados de este estudio invitan a pensar que la pluralidad de recursos institucionales se puede agrupar en tres tendencias según faciliten este principio. Internment measures require special attention for being the most restrictive of freedom. Despite this, there are few studies on youth detention centers and youth at the national level. This document shows the results of empirical research on all of these resources in Spain. This work has as objective to verify whether the diversity of existing resources for the enforcement of custodial sentences facilitates the resocialization principle in which the law is based. The results of this study, suggests that although there is a large plurality of resource institutionals, these resources can be grouped into three patterns according to facilite this principle
Herramientas útiles en trabajo social : instrumentos de valoración del riesgo en menores y jóvenes con medidas judiciales
No full textEn el trabajo con menores y jóvenes en conflicto con la ley el Trabajo Social tiene entre otras importantes funciones la prevención y la intervención. Utilizar instrumentos ya validados empíricamente con los que poder prestar atención a las fortalezas y debilidades de los chavales, favorece que las actuaciones tengan un mayor éxito en ambos campos. En este trabajo se presentan dos instrumentos útiles con este colectivo para la valoración estructurada de riesgo así como para su intervención. Adaptadas a nuestro contexto estas herramientas, YLS/CMI (Youth Level Service/Case Management Inventory) y SAVRY (Structured Assesment of Violence Risk in Youth), pueden identificar los factores que han llevado a la persona a cometer un delito y utilizar esta información para trabajar junto con el menor o joven en su camino hacia una autonomía prosocial. En la práctica del Trabajo Social el manejo de estas herramientas es novedoso y aporta vehemencia al carácter científico de esta disciplina
