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
Bordando a luta: O Coletivo de Mulheres do Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens e as oficinas de Arpilleras como estratégia de mobilização social
No full textEsse artigo estuda o percurso de mobilização social empenhado na luta pela dignidade humana em contextos de construção de hidrelétricas no Brasil, capitaneado pelo Coletivo de Mulheres, do Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens (MAB), através da técnica de bordado conhecida como arpillera. As arpilleras ficaram mundialmente conhecidas por denunciarem os contornos de crueldade da Ditadura Militar de Augusto Pinochet (1973-1992). No Brasil, essa técnica de bordado serve como suporte para que mulheres do Coletivo de Mulheres do MAB, bordem as violações dos direitos humanos a que estão sujeitas, o projeto recebeu o nome de “Arpilleras, Bordando a Resistência”. A análise aqui contida é uma reflexão elaborada a partir de entrevistas com as militantes e idealizadoras do projeto “Arpilleras, Bordando a Resistência” e fruto da observação participante realizada na Oficina de Arpilleras, durante a exposição “Arpilleras Amazônicas: costurando a luta por direitos”, ocorrida em Belém – PA, em 2016.
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
Água falada: histórias de vidas e histórias de águas
Get PDFThis research point talking about representations from the Araguaia River, since the
native population perspective which lives in Bico do Papagaio. Also residents in
Assentamento Falcão located near Araguatins – TO. From that way it understands
the feeling between these people and the river. Because of that, it work makes a link
among an urban-industrial society and the electrical sense, and all of that, supply and
energy policy, stay in this context. In a second place, at the possibility of building
hydroelectrical plants of Santa Isabel and Maraba, the river came as a place of
belonging, as acknowledged in the native life stories. At last it has a little approach
about place categories, nature and landscape concept.O tema dessa pesquisa são as representações do rio Araguaia, através dos relatos
das populações ribeirinhas da região do Bico do Papagaio, moradores do
assentamento Falcão, localizado na zona rural do município de Araguatins – TO,
tendo por objetivo compreender o vínculo que se estabelece entre essas pessoas e
o rio. O presente texto procurou, em um primeiro momento, traçar o perfil da
sociedade urbano-industrial conectada em rede através do aporte elétrico e a
política energética operada nesse contexto. Em um segundo momento, diante da
perspectiva da construção das Usinas Hidrelétricas de Santa Isabel e Marabá,
revelou-se o rio como um lugar de pertencimento, conforme constatado nas histórias
de vida dos moradores do Falcão. A pesquisa debateu ainda as categorias de lugar,
natureza e paisagem
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
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
