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
Preparación de los docentes para la atención de los problemas de disciplina en el nivel educativo de secundaria básica
No full textSchool discipline represents a matter of great significance in educative process, which is carried out in education institutions. Discipline constitutes the main cause to accomplish the goals of planned activities in the pedagogical professional work of teaching. Owing to the fact that adolescence is a stage of sudden change and emotional instability where group influence can cause discipline problems, it was possible to state as objective: to determine the need of training teachers to fulfill discipline problems in High School education level. As a result of diagnosis carried out, it permitted us to know that there is motivation of teachers to receive training to pay effectively attention to school indiscipline, there are limitations in theoretical knowledge about the subject, deficiencies in skills to apply the knowledge they have as well as the assumption of authoritarian patterns to have school indiscipline under control. It is proponed a workshop system which allows compensating the insufficient training of teachers.La disciplina escolar es un tema que adquiere gran importancia en el proceso educativo que se desarrolla en las instituciones educativas. Constituye determinante en la labor profesional pedagógica de los docentes que prevalezca la disciplina para cumplir con los objetivos de las actividades planificadas. Debido a que la adolescencia constituye una etapa de cambios bruscos e inestabilidad emocional donde la influencia del grupo puede provocar problemas de disciplina, se propone como objetivo determinar la necesidad de preparación de los docentes para la atención de los problemas de disciplina en el nivel educativo Secundaria Básica. Se obtuvo como resultados del diagnóstico la motivación de los docentes por recibir preparación para atender efectivamente las indisciplinas escolares, limitaciones en el conocimiento teórico del tema, deficiencias en las habilidades para aplicar el conocimiento teórico que poseen y la asunción de patrones autoritarios para controlar las indisciplinas escolares. Se propone un sistema de talleres que permita compensar la insuficiente preparación de los docentes
El desarrollo de relatos creativos: una vía para preparar a las educadoras preescolares
Get PDFEl relato creativo propicia la formación integral de los niños si se concibe con un enfoque desarrollador y comunicativo; sin embargo, es una problemática actual. Para su solución se determinó como objetivo proponer un sistema de talleres que prepare a las educadoras preescolares en la estimulación del desarrollo de relatos creativos. Los métodos utilizados del nivel teórico y empírico posibilitaron el desarrollo de la investigación. Como novedad se ofrecen contenidos teóricos-prácticos para que las educadoras preescolares posean conocimientos y habilidades en la estimulación del desarrollo de relatos creativos. Fue aplicado en la práctica educativa donde la calidad de los relatos elaborados por los niños fue favorable de acuerdo a los cambios y transformaciones alcanzadas por las educadoras preescolares
Preparación del profesorado de la Escuela Pedagógica “Raúl Corrales Fornos” en la dirección del trabajo independiente/Teacher preparation of the Raúl Corrales Pedagogical School in the direction of independent work
Get PDFEl sistema educativo cubano precisa de la preparación del profesorado para el logro de un proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje desarrollador desde la utilización de métodos creativos y productivos. En el presente artículo se integran valoraciones que justifican el problema de investigación referido al insuficiente nivel de preparación de los profesores de la Escuela pedagógica en la dirección del trabajo independiente. Se asumió como objetivo: Caracterizar el nivel de preparación del profesorado de la Escuela Pedagógica Raúl Corrales Fornos en la dirección del trabajo independiente. Se establecieron dimensiones e indicadores, que a partir de la aplicación de diferentes instrumentos, posibilitaron caracterizar la preparación de dicho profesorado para la dirección del trabajo independiente en un nivel básico
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
