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
Escultura pública na cidade de Lisboa : 1974-2004
No full textTese de doutoramento, Belas-Artes (Arte Pública), Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas-Artes, 2011A Escultura Pública na Cidade de Lisboa (1974-2004) é o tema desta investigação que tem
como objectivo principal estudar, documentar, analisar e inventariar as obras escultóricas instaladas
durante um período de trinta anos no espaço público desta cidade. Para este efeito, pretendemos
não só proceder a uma análise estética das peças, mas averiguar todo o processo, da ideia
original à encomenda e concretização dos projectos. Para obter uma perspectiva completa deste
fenómeno ainda pouco investigado em Portugal, averiguaremos o papel de todos os agentes
envolvidos na implantação de obras de arte no contexto urbano, quer as entidades públicas e
privadas, quer os artistas e respectivas equipas de trabalho.
Por outro lado, é uma investigação que se desenvolve à luz da teoria da arte pública proposta
por diversos teóricos ao longo das últimas décadas, da mesma forma que apresenta uma
nova perspectiva deste conceito, através do qual se estrutura toda a refl exão crítica sobre os
casos mais representativos do panorama artístico da cidade. As obras serão analisadas em diferentes
contextos, no plano individual através do aprofundamento das relações estético-perceptivas
com o espaço público, em termos estilísticos procurando averiguar as suas afi nidades
formais e no âmbito da trajectória artística de cada autor em particular.The dissertation subject is The Public Sculpture of the City of Lisbon (1974-2004) with the

space of this city during a period of thirty years. For this goal, we not only intend to proceed to
an aesthetic analysis of the works of art, but to fi nd the all process since the original idea, until
the order and production of projects. To get a complete perspective of this phenomenon still
little investigated in Portugal, we will inquire all involved authorities in the implantation of
works of art in the urban context, whether public and private, or artists and work teams.
On the other hand, this develop in the fi eld of theory of public art by diverse theoretical throughout

structure all the critical refl ection on the most representative cases of the art panorama of the city.
The works of art will be analyzed in different contexts, in the individual plan through the deepening
of the aesthetic-perception relations with the public space, base on in the estilistic characters looking
for his formal affi nities and in the scope of the artistic trajectory of each author in particular.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT

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
