Utilisation et usages des identifiants numériques chercheurs en France. Synthèse de l’enquête nationale 2023
No full textThe survey presented in this report is part of a research project composed of four qualitative and quantitative phases. This report constitutes the first part and presents the results of a national questionnaire, conducted between November 2022 and February 2023. Results from the three other phases will be published later as the project progresses. The main objective of this first phase was to study the actual use of author identifiers services in the French research community, especially focusing on ORCID. Context, awareness, needs and forms of support for these tools were also studied. 6,125 people completed this national questionnaire in full, which corresponds to approximately 3.2% of the national population of researchers. The first part of this report questions respondents about their familiarity and knowledge of academic social networks, visibility tools and author identifiers. This part highlights the main role of the discipline in the appropriation of these different tools, broad categories of uses and different degrees of acculturation to these tools. The second part of this report specifically deals with ORCID, and shows that researchers are aware of and use this identifier in a very practical and pragmatic way. According to the researchers interviewed, there is still a considerable need for training or introduction to these tools, whether face-to-face or distance learning.L’enquête présentée dans ce rapport s’insère dans un projet de recherche composé de quatre phases qualitatives et quantitatives, dont les résultats seront publiés au fur et à mesure de l’avancement du projet. Le présent rapport en constitue la première partie et présente les résultats d’un questionnaire national, conduit entre novembre 2022 et février 2023. Son objectif principal était de faire un état des lieux des usages des identifiants numériques chercheurs (INC), et plus particulièrement d’ORCID, dans la communauté de recherche française, en étudiant leur contexte, leur connaissance et leurs pratiques associées, les moteurs et freins à leur adoption, et les besoins de formation à ces outils. 6 125 personnes ont complété intégralement ce questionnaire national, ce qui correspond à environ 3,2 % de la population nationale des chercheurs. La première partie de ce rapport questionne les répondants sur leur familiarité et leurs connaissances des réseaux sociaux académiques (RSA), outils de visibilité et identifiants numériques chercheurs. Cette partie met en évidence le rôle essentiel de la discipline dans l’appropriation de ces différents outils, de grandes catégories d’usages et différents degrés d’acculturation à ces outils. La deuxième partie de ce rapport concerne spécifiquement l’INC ORCID, et montre globalement une connaissance et une utilisation avant tout concrète et pragmatique de cet identifiant par les chercheurs. Concernant les besoins en formation ou initiation à ces outils, selon les chercheurs interrogés, ils s’avèrent être encore importants, que ce soit en présentiel ou en distanciel
Adoption and use of author identifier services: A French national survey
No full textInternational audienceAbstract This paper studies awareness and use of author identifier services (AIDs) in the French academic community and explores needs and forms of support required for these tools, using a national questionnaire survey. ArXivID, IdHAL, ORCID, ResearcherID and Scopus Author ID were investigated. A total of 6125 people completed the questionnaire in full. The results of this survey show that discipline and age play an important role in French researchers' familiarity with AIDs. IdHAL and ORCID were by far the two best known AIDs, probably because they have been promoted by institutions in France for several years. French researchers use AIDs mainly to respond to external requests (e.g., to submit an article or a research project), while, surprisingly, few use them to ‘facilitate their work’. When French researchers were asked about their needs and the form of support required for AIDs, more than 30% of them said they either required an introduction to or practical training in these tools. The results of this national survey should help stakeholders to adapt their policies and to guide and support researchers more efficiently in the use of these tools
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
