Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Creació de perfils institucionals a Google Scholar : nous usos en biblioteques de recerca | Creación de perfiles institucionales en Google Scholar : nuevos usos en bibliotecas de investigación | Creation of institutional profiles in Google Scholar : New uses in research libraries
No full textTrobar perfils personals d'investigadors a la xarxa és molt habitual, de fet, les mateixes institucions acadèmiques s'encarreguen de promocionar-ne les bondats, però la creació de perfils admet altres usos, com ara el perfil propi utilitzat per revistes que volen fer un seguiment dels articles que hi publiquen. En biblioteques d'institucions petites o mitjanes, els perfils institucionals també constitueixen una opció molt interessant per la gran quantitat de beneficis que se'n deriven, tot i que en aquests moments és un fet insòlit trobar perfils corporatius que aglutinin tota la producció científica de les institucions. En aquest article es presenta un cas basat en la creació d'un perfil institucional a Google Scholar. La biblioteca que ha dut a terme l'experiència pertany a la Facultat de Turisme i Direcció Hotelera Sant Ignasi que té 316 alumnes, 53 professors (PDI) i 17 membres de personal d'administració i serveis (PAS). L'objectiu de donar a conèixer aquesta experiència és transmetre els beneficis que implica comptar amb un perfil institucional per tal d'ajudar altres biblioteques petites o mitjanes que s'estiguin plantejant fer-ho. | Encontrar perfiles personales de investigadores en la red es muy habitual, de hecho, las propias instituciones académicas se encargan de promocionar sus bondades, pero la creación de perfiles admite otros usos, como por ejemplo el perfil propio utilizado por revistas que quieren hacer un seguimiento de los artículos que publican.

But creating profiles supports other uses such as the own profile used by journals that want to track the articles they publish there. In libraries of small or medium-sized institutions, institutional profiles are also a very interesting option due to the large number of benefits derived from them, although nowadays it is an unusual fact to find corporate profiles that bring together all the scientific production of institutions. This article presents a case based on the creation of an institutional profile in Google Scholar. The library that carried out the experience belongs to the School of Tourism and Hospitality Management Sant Ignasi with 316 students, 53 professors and 17 members of administration and services staff. The objective of publicizing this experience is to transmit the benefits of having an institutional profile to help other small or medium libraries that are considering doing so
Projecte de creació d'un repositori institucional per a la gestió de la producció acadèmica : El cas de TSI-Turisme Sant Ignasi
Full text linkAquesta investigació pretén servir d'orientació per a totes aquelles institucions que tinguin la intenció d'implementar un repositori com a eina per allotjar, organitzar, difondre i preservar la producció acadèmica generada pels seus professors i/o investigadors. A partir d'una necessitat real donada a TSI-Turisme Sant Ignasi, s'examinen diferents iniciatives per conèixer la situació actual i les tendències, tant nacionals com internacionals, pel que fa a aquest tipus de repositoris, que ens ajudin a establir uns criteris clars per definir el nostre propi model de repositori.Esta investigación pretende servir de orientación para todas aquellas instituciones que tengan la intención de implementar un repositorio como herramienta para alojar, organizar, difundir y preservar la producción académica generada por sus profesores y/o investigadores.

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
