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
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
Writing and Birthing on Country:Examining Indigenous Australian Birth Stories from a Reproductive Justice Lens
No full textReproductive justice (RJ) calls for an integrated analysis, a holistic vision, and comprehensive strategies that push against structural conditions that control communities by regulating bodies, sexuality, labor, and reproduction (Ross & Solinger 2017). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have a maternal mortality ratio of 16.4 deaths per 100,000 Indigenous women giving birth (Clark et al 2019). Disparities in reproductive justice often persist through the erasure of lived experiences. My work examines birth stories (recounting via recorded, podcasted interview) with narrative analysis and poetic inquiry. While personal essays and spoken birth stories relay narratives as they are recalled, examining poetry (through poetic inquiry) will allow exploration of narrative in ways that can be likened to experiences of maternal/pregnant phenomenologies (i.e., intersubjectivity, multiple temporalities). Traditional Indigenous Australian poetry and storytelling often evokes Country as a reoccurring motif, intricately connected to First Nations Australian culture and cosmogeny. In this chapter, I will investigate birth stories as they relate to the First Nations Australian initiative of birthing on Country and reproductive injustices in some mainstream maternal care practices. Birthing on Country has been described as the practice of giving birth on traditional lands, or with elements of First Nations groups’ cultures, incorporated into the process. Being born on Country “connects an Aboriginal person to the land and community in a deeply cultural way and affords life-long privileges such as hunting and fishing rights, as well as lifelong responsibilities for looking after Country, both land and people” (Felton-Busch, Contemporary Nurse 33:161–162, 2009). Birthing on Country is also a maternal care service initiative, available to some birthing people in Australia. While many birthing people can exercise the choice to give birth on Country, others lack access to the hospitals, birth centers, and care providers that will uphold or facilitate the practice. This chapter will explore First Nations women’s (as the participants featured identified as women) birth stories through poetic inquiry, as they relate to birthing on Country, Indigenous women’s access thereto, and their narratives of interaction with care systems and providers
