The green fields of Ireland: The legacy of Dublin's housing boom and the impact on commuting
No full textDublin, like many other international cities has experienced a significant housing boom in the past decade. This boom has seen an unprecedented increase in the number of houses built and in the density of housing at the periphery of the city. In addition, Dublin has become a more dispersed city with centres of employment no longer being focused only in the Central Business District (CBD). At the same time, the provision of public transport infrastructure, while it has improved, has not kept pace with the increase in housing stock, leading to high levels of car dependency in these peripheral suburban areas. This paper seeks to examine how commuting patterns have changed as a result of this increasing in housing stock. The results presented in this paper show that even within the same electoral districts, commuters living in housing built after 2001 are more likely to drive than those living in older housing. This paper analyses the modal choices of commuters living in both new and older housing and describes the factors that may be leading to higher levels of car dependency in those living in newer housing. The case study presented in this paper shows a city region in transition and documents the impact that a housing boom has had upon commuting patterns.JG 2014-11-24 Author Brian Caulfield, TCD -- not to be confused with Brian Caulfield, UC

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

Examining the potential for car-shedding in the Greater Dublin Area
No full textA free version of this paper is available at: https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1W0423Rd3ug61Huntil the 26th December. This paper examines the receptivity of a sample of commuters within the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) to a range of policy incentives that encourage travellers to make more sustainable usage of their private car. Several policy measures are evaluated to identify a means of stimulating a shift from single occupancy vehicle (SOV) use to modes that make sustainable usage of the car, namely carpooling and car-sharing. Consequently, an indication of increased levels of ¿car-shedding¿ in the GDA is ascertained. Behavioural indicators such as market elasticities and simulation models are estimated from multinomial logit (MNL) modelling of choices from a stated preference (SP) survey. The analysis determined that reductions in the modal share of SOVs of up to 8% in a ¿best case scenario¿, could be achieved if policies are put in place to reduce the time and cost attributes of commuting to work by carpooling and car-sharing. Furthermore, a 1% change in the convenience, time and cost attributes yielded a direct effect or increase in the probability of carpooling and car-sharing being chosen, of up to 0.34%, suggesting that the carpool and car-share modes may be relatively elastic to attribute changes. A comparison of means analysis of other survey data is also included in this paper. Ultimately, this paper offers support to the argument that greater investment in policy incentives alone is worth considering in order to increase the occupancy of vehicles commuting to work and education.Environmental Protection Agency2019-09-09 JG: author Brian Caulfield not to be confused with UCD homony
