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
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
GLOBALIZAÇÃO E CONSUMO: VANTAGENS E DESVANTAGENS PARA UMA MELHOR COMUNICAÇÃO NAS ORGANIZAÇÕES
Get PDFEste artigo pretende analisar os processos de comunicação entre em- presas e empregados e entre capital e trabalho. A pesquisa foca as atuais relações de trabalho oriundas da globalização e a correlação dos conceitos da comunicação da história social do trabalho com os novos hábitos de consumo. Foi enfatizada a importância da comunicação interna nas organizações, tendo em vista que o campo do trabalho é palco de dominação, opressão de cultura e sonegação de informações aos funcionários das organizações. Com base na concepção “da mais valia” de Karl Marx, foram encontradas brechas teóricas que demonstram que uma melhor comu- nicação interna pode ser campo de transformação cultural do mundo das relações do trabalho
AS REGRAS DO TRABALHO ATUAL E A SUPERPRODUÇÃO MUNDIAL DE PRODUTOS E SERVIÇOS
No full textA presente análise objetiva apresentar ao leitor uma nova maneira de interpretar as condições, e características do trabalho, bem como a competição entre as empresas produtoras de bens e serviços, abordando a grave situação de desemprego no mundo, enquanto o mercado mundial está com dificuldade de consumir bens e serviços comercializados pelas empresas e nações, devido à elevada capacidade de produção destes
COMUNICAÇÃO NA GESTÃO EMPRESARIAL DAS ORGANIZAÇÕES
No full textA presente análise objetiva apresentar ao leitor uma maneira de refletir, entender e correlacionar os processos de comunicação nas relações entre organização-empregado; analisar as condições e as características do trabalho no início e meados do século XX através das idéias inovadoras desenvolvidas por filósofos da época como Simone Weil, Thompson, Adorno e outros, refletindo também sobre os atuais processos motivacionais aplicados aos empregados. Aborda-se ainda a dominação destes pela opressão histórica de cultura e de informação, buscando, no período pré- revolução industrial, a reflexão sobre os desejos acalentados pela "cultura de massa" e tentando encontrar caminhos através das diversas formas de comunicação para fundamentar um modelo contemporâneo de gestão empresarial e de comunicação, voltado à participação efetiva dos empregados na condução destes processos
