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
Oral History of Warren C. Hayman
No full textWarren C. Hayman is an African American educator who spent the last decades of his long career at Morgan State University, where he served as Assistant Dean of Education and Program Coordinator for the Doctoral Program in Urban Educational Leadership. From 1985 to 1997, Hayman worked in the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) School of Continuing Studies as the coordinator for the JHU-Dunbar High School Health Professions Program. The JHU-Dunbar program was a cooperative effort between Johns Hopkins University, the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, and Dunbar High School to prepare students for access to higher education and consideration of careers in the health and science professions.
While the oral history primarily focuses on Hayman’s role as program coordinator, Hayman also speaks about his educational background and professional development from the 1960s to the 1980s, during an era of civil rights activism, the rise of Black Studies, and increasing calls for multicultural education. Hayman goes on to discuss the development of the JHU-Dunbar Health Professions Program, which had support from JHU President Steven Muller, Johns Hopkins Hospital President Robert Heyssel, and Dunbar High School Principal Elzee Gladden. Hayman discusses the opportunities created for students in different components of the program, such as the summer bridge program, “A” Course, summer scholars program, and participation in Biomedical Symposiums organized by the Association of Minority Health Professions Schools (AMPHS). The summer scholars program gave students the opportunity for a paid, six-week internship experience with a Johns Hopkins professional in their area of interest, such as pediatrics, veterinary medicine, or ophthalmology. Students worked with faculty and medical professionals associated with Johns Hopkins Hospital, JHU School of Medicine, JHU Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Johns Hopkins Hospital School of Nursing. The interview provides important insight into the history of the JHU-Dunbar program, its impact on student success, and the ongoing relationship between Johns Hopkins, Dunbar High School, and the East Baltimore community. This oral history was conducted as part of the Reexamining Hopkins History Initiative.
In addition to those mentioned above, Dr. Hayman mentions the following Johns Hopkins affiliates who were connected with the program in different capacities: Kerwyn Barbour; Deidra Bishop; Lee Bone; Benjamin Carson; James Coleman; Colene Daniel; Ralph Fessler; Susan Flora; Stanley C. Gabor; Margaret “Peggi” Graves; Joseph S. Hall; Yariela Kerr-Donovan; Dwight Lassiter; James M. McPartland; David G. Nichols; Michael Preston; Mark C. Rogers; Edgar Roulhac; Joseph L. Smith; Roland Smoot; Levi Watkins, Jr

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
