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

Get PDFDireitos humanos e transnacionalização: a devida diligência como vetor da endogenia obrigacional
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito, Florianópolis, 2025.Esta tese revela e conceitua uma nova categoria jurídica, denominada "endogenia obrigacional transnacional" , produto do cumprimento da obrigação de devida diligência em Direitos Humanos. Os processos de globalização e transnacionalização ocasionaram demandas reflexas de globalização e transnacionalização jurídicas que promoveram um fracionamento entre normas de Direito de criação estatal e Direito Transnacional, cenário em que os Direitos Humanos atuam como parâmetro de proteção, através da aplicação das normas de devida diligência em Direitos Humanos. Posta essa temática, o problema de pesquisa vem representado pela seguinte indagação: quais os efeitos obrigacionais decorrentes da aplicação das normas de devida diligência em Direitos Humanos às relações negociais transnacionais? O objetivo geral consiste em examinar os efeitos projetados pela aplicação das normas de devida diligência em Direitos Humanos às relações negociais transnacionais, com a possível consecução de externalidades positivas, ao passo que os objetivos específicos se dividem em: (1) analisar o percurso jurídico-histórico de construção do ideal de Direitos Humanos, enfatizando o caráter insurrecto e de contestação que anima o nascimento destes últimos; (2) examinar os Direitos Humanos enquanto pauta jurídica, revisitando suas linhas evolutivas e admoestando acerca da necessidade de mudança do eixo direcional; (3) constatar a existência de um cenário de fragmentação jurídica entre Direito de criação estatal e Direito Transnacional, perquirindo pela legitimidade deste último e pela qualidade das obrigações jurídicas que deles resultam; (4) posicionar a norma de Devida Diligência em Direitos Humanos como instrumento protetivo e impulsionador destes últimos; e, (5) propor a "endogenia obrigacional transnacional" como nova categoria jurídica que decorre das externalidades positivas do cumprimento da obrigação de devida diligência em Direitos Humanos. Quanto à metodologia, a natureza da investigação retrata pesquisa pura, instalada na compreensão de categorias fundamentais dos Direitos Humanos, da transnacionalização jurídica, da devida diligência e do sentido teorético de uma endogenia obrigacional transnacional. Quanto à abordagem do problema, reflete estudo qualitativo, que considerou desenvolvimentos doutrinários e legislativos. Quanto aos fins, a pesquisa é descritiva, fortemente norteada a partir dos Direitos Humanos, do processo de transnacionalização jurídica e da aplicação das normas devida diligência em Direitos Humanos. O método é o indutivo-crítico com abordagem multidisciplinar e os procedimentos técnicos utilizam doutrina, legislação e jurisprudência. Os resultados estão expostos exclusivamente em forma de textos.Abstract: This thesis reveals and conceptualizes a new legal category, called \"transnational obligatory endogeny,\" a product of compliance with the obligation of due diligence in human rights. The processes of globalization and transnationalization have given rise to reflexive demands for legal globalization and transnationalization that have fostered a fragmentation between state-created legal norms and transnational law, a scenario in which human rights act as a parameter of protection through the application of human rights due diligence norms. Given this theme, the research problem is represented by the following question: what are the obligatory effects arising from the application of human rights due diligence norms to transnational business relations? The general objective is to examine the effects projected by the application of human rights due diligence norms to transnational business relations, with the possible achievement of positive externalities. The specific objectives are divided into: (1) analyzing the legal-historical path of the construction of the ideal of human rights, emphasizing the insurgent and contested nature that drives the emergence of the latter; (2) examine Human Rights as a legal agenda, revisiting its evolutionary lines and warning about the need for a shift in direction; (3) confirm the existence of a scenario of legal fragmentation between State-created Law and Transnational Law, investigating the legitimacy of the latter and the quality of the resulting legal obligations; (4) position the Human Rights Due Diligence standard as a protective and driving instrument for the latter; and (5) propose \"transnational obligatory endogeny\" as a new legal category arising from the positive externalities of fulfilling the obligation of due diligence in Human Rights. Regarding methodology, the nature of the investigation reflects pure research, based on the understanding of fundamental categories of Human Rights, legal transnationalization, due diligence, and the theoretical meaning of transnational obligatory endogeny. Regarding the approach to the problem, it reflects a qualitative study, which considered doctrinal and legislative developments. The research aims to be descriptive, strongly guided by human rights, the process of legal transnationalization, and the application of human rights due diligence standards. The method is inductive-critical with a multidisciplinary approach, and the technical procedures utilize doctrine, legislation, and case law. The results are presented exclusively in text form
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
