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
Realismo desfigurado : Dom Casmurro entre o preciso e o impreciso
Get PDFEm Machado de Assis, a representação da realidade é desfigurada através da forma literária marcada pelo binômio precisão versus imprecisão. Essa desfiguração surge na representação do cotidiano sério e trágico (elementos constitutivos do Realismo moderno, segundo Erich Auerbach) que, no Brasil, são afetados pela mescla de percepções de ordem política, econômica e religiosa, causando uma falta de posicionamento social claro. O presente trabalho tem a intenção de analisar o romance Dom Casmurro (obra que possui um narrador comprometido tanto pelo discurso jurídico quanto pelo discurso religioso) à luz do método que Auerbach desenvolveu para compreender a forma como é apresentada a condição humana através do tempo, especialmente nas obras Figura (1944) e Mimesis (1946), a fim de demonstrar como se dá a representação da realidade em um país periférico e pautado por valores arcaicos, gerando a quebra da seriedade e o afastamento da precisão realista.In Machado de Assis work, the representation of reality is disfigured through the literary form determined by the precision vs. imprecision binomial. Such disfiguration emerges from the representation of the serious and tragic everyday (constitutive elements of Modern Realism, according to Erich Auerbach), which in Brazil is affected by the miscellany of political, economic and religious perceptions, causing an absence of a clear social positioning. The current work intends to analyze the novel Dom Casmurro (story that has a committed narrator both for the juridical speech and the religious one) making use of the method Auerbach developed to comprehend the form the human condition is present through time, specially in the works Figura (1944) and Mimesis (1946), in order to demonstrate the representation of reality in a peripheral country ruled by archaic values, generating the break of seriousness and the dismissal of realist precision
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
Literatura e religião : estudo das referências religiosas na obra de Machado de Assis
Get PDFEste trabalho tem a intenção de analisar em que medida o conjunto referencial de elementos relacionados à religião (em especial à Católica, por ser a prática religiosa mais difundida no país quando da formação da obra em destaque) está presente nos textos do mais importante escritor brasileiro. Sem negar as possibilidades críticas existentes, mas dialogando com elas, é relevante podermos abrir uma nova chave de leitura que possa ser associada a tantas outras e formar uma tessitura crítica. Machado de Assis é reconhecido como um autor que soube gerenciar as diversas facetas da sociedade e com elas criar a sua obra de tal forma que fosse livre de marcas nacionalistas e, ao mesmo tempo, profundamente nacional. Sendo um excepcional crítico e ainda melhor ficcionista é possível perceber que o que ele colocou nos seus textos não está ali gratuitamente, por isso, medir uma determinada referência é desenvolver uma nova forma de análise para a obra. Muito se tem estudado Machado de Assis ao longo do tempo, porém pouco, relativo a qual o uso que ele fez da religião disponível no seu tempo e ao seu alcance de compreensão. Estabelecer qual era a relação da Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana com o poder estatal ao longo da história para depois perceber em que escala essa relação conflituosa também estava presente na Igreja do Brasil é a base para entender uma das facetas da formação intelectual de Machado de Assis. Ele acompanhou toda a crise religiosa do Segundo Reinado e sobre ela se manifestou e a ficcionalizou. A análise quantitativa desses referenciais religiosos, que prova a extensão do uso pelo autor, dá lugar a uma análise qualitativa, quando se demonstra que essa temática, com tudo o que ela envolve, esteve no campo de visão e de criação das mais relevantes obras do autor. Enriquecer o arcabouço crítico sobre Machado de Assis é o intuito último de propor uma análise daquilo que foi por ele utilizado para a concepção da sua obra.The present work aims to analyze how the referential data related to religion (particularly, the Catholic Church, once it was the most widespread religious practice in the country at time of author´s writings) is present in the texts of the most important Brazilian writer. Without denying the already explored critics, but talking with them, is relevant open a new concept about this theme that could be included to others in order to construct a critic conjecture. Machado de Assis is recognized as an author who knew how manage the various facets of society and with them create his work in a style free of nationalist marks and, in the same time, deeply nationalist. Being an exceptional critic and an even better novelist, it is possible realize that he wrote many things with intentional meanings that could be considered to develop a new form of analysis for his work. Along the time, many studies have investigated Machado de Assis, however, there is little information about how he used the available religion and what comprehension he had of it. To establish the relationship between Roman Catholic Church with government power throughout history and then realize that this conflicting relationship was present also in the Church in Brazil, is the basis for understand one of Machado de Assis’ intellectual formation facet. It is visible that he accompanied all religious crisis of the Second Reign and manifested and wrote about it. The quantitative analysis of these religious data, that mark its intense use by the author, gives rise to a qualitative analysis, when it is showed that this theme was present in his life and in creation of the most relevant works of author. To enrich the critical framework on Machado de Assis is the ultimate aim to propose an analysis of what was used by him for the design of his work.Ce travail a l’intention d’analyser dans quelle mesure l’ensemble référentiel d’éléments raportés à la religion (notamment la Catholique, cette pratique religieuse la plus diffusée dans le pays, au moment de la formation de l’oeuvre en étude) est présent dans les textes du plus important écrivain brésilien. Loin de nier les possibilités critiques existentes, mais en dialogue avec elles, c’est important d’ouvrir une nouvelle clé de lecture qui puisse être associée à tant d’autres et former une texture critique. Machado de Assis est connu comme l’auteur qui a su administrer les plusieurs aspects de la société et avec eux créer son oeuvre de telle façon qu’elle fût libre des signes nationalistes et, au même temps, profondement nationale. Ayant été un critique exceptionnel et plus encore un excellent romancier, c’est possible d’apercevoir que ce qu’il a mis dans ses textes n’y est pas gratuitement, donc, évaluer une référence donnée est développer une nouvelle forme d’analyse pour son oeuvre.On a beaucoup étudié Machado de Assis au long des années, mais peu par rapport à l’utilisation qu’il a faite de la religion disponible à son temps et à la portée de sa compréhension. Établir quel est le rapport de l’Église Catholique Apostolique et Romaine avec le pouvoir de l’État au long de l’histoire pour apercevoir enfin qu’en échelle, ce rapport conflictueux était aussi présent dans l’èglise du Brésil, c’est le fondement pour comprendre l’un des aspects de la formation intellectuelle de Machado de Assis, puisqu’il a accompagné toute la crise religieuse du Second Royaume, et sur laquelle il s’est manifesté en la mettant en fiction. À l’analyse quantitative des ces référentiels religieux qui témoignent l’extension de l’emploi par l’auteur, donne lieu à une analyse qualitative, au moment où se prouve que cette thématique, avec tout ce qui l’entoure, a été dans le champ de vision et de la création des plus célèbres romans de l’auteur. Enrichir la charpente critique sur Machado de Assis est le but ultime de proposer une analyse de ce qui a été employé par lui pour la conception de son oeuvre
