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
Reputation-Based Data Carrying for Web3 Networks
No full textWeb3 networks are emerging to replace centrally-governed networking infrastructure. The integrity of the shared public infrastructure of Web3 networks is guaranteed through data sharing between nodes. However, due to the unstructured and highly partitioned nature of Web3 networks, data sharing between nodes in different partitions is a challenging task. In this paper we present the TSRP mechanism, which approaches the data sharing problem through nodes auditing each other to enforce carrying of data between partitions. Reputation is used as an analogue for the likelihood of nodes interacting with nodes from other partitions in the future. The number of copies of data shared with other nodes is inversely related to the nodes’ reputation. We use a real-world trace of Twitter to show how our implementation can converge to an equal number of copies as structured approachesGreen Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Data-Intensive System
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

Kamu yatırımlarının yönetimi: Müstakil projelerden toplulaştırılmış projelere geçiş
No full textTezin konusu, planlı ekonominin başlangıcından günümüze kadar uzanan dönemde kamu yatırımları yönetiminde yaşanan değişimin incelenmesidir. Kamu yatırımlarının yönetiminde yaşanan değişim, takip edilen ekonomi politikası ile doğrudan bağlantılıdır. Tezin kapsadığı zaman dilimi, ekonomi politikası bağlamında iki döneme ayrılarak incelenebilir. Dolayısıyla, kamu yatırımları yönetimi açısından yaşanan değişim de bu dönemler itibarıyla analiz edilmiştir. Devlet Planlama Teşkilatı'nın (DPT) kuruluşu planlı ekonomiye geçişi temsil etmektedir. 1960 yılından 24 Ocak 1980 kararlarına kadar devam eden bu dönemde uygulanmış kalkınma planları aynı zamanda ekonomiyi yönetme işlevine sahiptir. Kamu yatırımları da ekonomiyi yönetme işlevinin bir parçası olarak "merkezden" ve "müstakil projeler" aracılığıyla yönetilmiştir. Benimsenen bu yönetim anlayışı, dönemin ekonomi politikası tarafından şekillendirilen planlama sistemi, örgütü ve yönteminin bir sonucu olarak değerlendirilmelidir. 24 Ocak 1980 Kararları ile ekonomi politikasında paradigma değişikliğine gidilmiş ve planlamadan vazgeçilerek serbest piyasa ekonomisine geçilmiştir. Günümüze kadar uzanan bu dönemde, bir önceki dönemde ekonomiyi yönetmek için kurulmuş olan planlama sistemi, örgütü ve yöntemi süreç içerisinde çözülmüştür. Yaşanan bu çözülmenin kamu yatırımları yönetimi açısından yansıması, kamu yatırımlarının "yerinden" ve "toplulaştırılmış projeler" eliyle yönetilmesi şeklinde kendini göstermiştir. Kamu yatırımının gerçekleştirilmesinden sorumlu yatırımcı kurumlara yetki devrini içeren bu süreç aynı zamanda DPT'nin geçirdiği değişimin farklı bir okuması olarak değerlendirilmelidir.AbstractThe main theme of this thesis is to examine the transition in the management of public investments from the beginning of the planned economy to the present day. The change in the management of public investments is directly linked to the pursued economic policy. The time covered by the thesis can be examined in two different period in the context of economic policy. Hence, the change in public investment management has been analyzed according to these periods. The establishment of State Planning Organization (SPO) represents the transition to planned economy. The development plans implemented during the planned economy period, which lasted from 1960 until the decisions of January 24, 1980, also functioned as main documents for management of economy. Public investments have also been managed through "central" and "independent projects" implementation model as a means of managing the economy. This adopted management approach should be considered as a consequence of the mentioned planning system, its organization and its methodology which shaped by the period's economic policy. Based on January 24, 1980 decisions, authorities of the period gone a paradigm shift in economic policy and quit the classic planning in favor of the free market economy. The planning system, its organization and its methodology, which established to manage the economy in the previous period, dissolved as a consequence of new approach in the economic policy. The reflection of this dissolution in the management of public investments, realized with "decentral" and "aggregated projects" implementation model. This process, involving the transfer of authority from SPO to the investor institutions responsible for the realization of the public investment, should also be regarded as a different reading of the change of SPO in time
