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
A participação do futuro morador em projetos habitacionais de baixa renda: estudos de caso
Get PDFThe present work investigates the participation of users in projects of lowincome housing through the study of three experiences linked to the accord, firmed in Belo Horizonte city in 2004, between the programs Crédito Solidário, Moradias por Auto Gestão e Orçamento Participativo da Habitação. The objective of the research was to discuss, from the study of the projects Residencial Serra Verde, Santa Rosa 02 e Castelo 01, how this participation occurred, analyzing the stages understood between the land definition and the moment that the architectonic solutions had been given by locked up. The research has two main parts: the first one consists in the review of the literature, witch is the quarrel about the historical bases of the Brazilian participativepublic policies, been boarded, at a first moment, the process marked by the absence of participation. At a second moment, the changes occurred after the Constitution of 88 are discussed, witch made possible the creation of legal instruments for the establishment of the studied participative process. The second part is built up by the analysis and discussion of the primary data, in which looked up to identify the potentialities and limitations, not only from the researched process as well the housing policy in question. This studies results, presented in the conclusions and final considerations, show that longed for participation still very limitated under many aspects, distinguishing the high number of families, participants of the projects, disapproved later in the process of loan programme, and the economic and operational limitations that make impossible an effective and ample cooperation. However, theses limitations could not be excuse to invalidate the potential of the participation in produce houses of low budget more adjusted to the needs of its future residents.O presente trabalho investiga a participação do futuro morador em projetos habitacionais de baixa renda, através do estudo de três experiências vinculadas ao convênio, firmado no município de Belo Horizonte em 2004, dos programas Crédito Solidário, Moradias por Autogestão e Orçamento Participativo da Habitação. A pesquisa teve como objetivo discutir, a partir do estudo dos projetos Residencial Serra Verde, Santa Rosa 02 e Castelo 01, como essa participaçãoocorreu, sendo analisadas as etapas compreendidas entre a definição do terreno e o momento em que as soluções arquitetônicas foram dadas como encerradas. O trabalho é composto por duas partes principais: a primeira constitui-se na revisão da literatura, que é a discussão sobre as bases históricas das políticas públicas participativas brasileiras, sendo abordados, em um primeiro momento, os processos marcados pela ausência de participação. Em um segundo momento são discutidas as mudanças ocorridas após a Constituição de 88, que possibilitaram a criação dos instrumentos legais para o estabelecimento dos processos participativosestudados. Na segunda parte do trabalho são apresentados a metodologia adotada, o roteiro de análise e a estruturação das entrevistas. Com base nesse arcabouço foram feitas as análises e discussões dos dados levantados em cada estudo de caso.Os resultados deste trabalho, apresentados nas conclusões e considerações finais, mostram que a participação almejada ainda é muito limitada sob diversos aspectos, dentre os quais destaca-se o alto número de famílias, participantes dos projetos, posteriormente reprovadas no processo de obtenção do crédito, e as limitações de ordem econômica e operacional que impossibilitam uma colaboraçãomais ampla e efetiva. Cabe ressaltar, no entanto, que essas limitações não podem se tornar justificativas para invalidar o potencial da participação em produzir habitações de baixa renda mais adequadas aos desejos e necessidades dos seus futuros moradores
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
