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
Postavení jaderné energie v rámci evropské energetické bezpečnosti po ruské invazi na Ukrajinu v roce 2022
No full textThis paper examines the contemporary position of nuclear energy within the wider European energy security framework in the shadow of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. This unprecedented event has thrown the international relations status quo off balance. The paper discusses the role that nuclear power carries out and whether there is potential for it to grow into a more commonly used source of energy generation. Supposed benefits from its utilisation are a strengthening of energy security across the EU, lower carbon emissions and reduced dependency from Russian imports. Further to this, the reasonings behind its feared image will be looked into while analysing proposed methods to soften its perception as we reach a turning point in deciding how best Europe can protect and maintain a secure and sustainable way of life. Incorporating collated groups of data and information from discourse and other forms of textual analysis, it is found that we are now witnessing a surge of interest in nuclear power. What was so recently seen as a fading industry of the past by some, appears to be on the rise due to successful results in countries that have prioritised the energy source, by those planning to build and extend the lifetimes of existing reactors and the work being done by individuals creating next...Department of Security StudiesKatedra bezpečnostních studiíFaculty of Social SciencesFakulta sociálních vě

Odolnost na obzoru: Analýza vládnutí v Rumunsku
No full textStudent 2717298M 03/08/22 Motivation letter to attend the EDEN conference "It's the End of the World as We Know It - Data Protection & Law Enforcement in a Shifting World Order." EUROPOL's new mandate hinders the right to privacy and securitises individuals' personal data. Individual data with no link to criminal activity will be treated similarly to criminal records. I understand the consequences of limited oversight on BIGData. I wrote about the UK's NDNAD and its use of genetic data from websites like ancestry.com in their research predicting criminal characteristics, including the role of ethnicity. I strongly believe that such technology targets ethnic minorities and would be excited to develop a more critical perspective from Böing's VR goggles in reducing ethnic profiling talk. I also recently published an article which reviews the new Kinetic Cyber and emerging technologies in the context of UK law and International Humanitarian Law (IHL). The EDEN Conference's focus on policy and law as well as cyber and COVID-19 is also central to my dissertation. I would like to use this opportunity to ask industry experts questions and potentially make contacts to aid my dissertation research. My policy recommendations regarding COVID-19 and disinformation would help me to engage and debate in several talks too....Department of Security StudiesKatedra bezpečnostních studiíFaculty of Social SciencesFakulta sociálních vě
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
