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
Debunking of fake news in Telegram in 2022: comparative study
Get PDFThe headlines of the leading world media have been changed when
the war between Russia and Ukraine started. Debunking of fake news
became a key importance in the work of news media as unverified
information is leading to the loss of respectability. There are certain
procedures of fact-checking that are well-recognized by the
international journalist society. Unlike generally accepted rules,
Telegram publishing policies differ from many social networks, as in
Telegram there is no moderation of published content that gives a
great opportunity to produce fake news and as the result of it - quick
mass disinformation. Despite the fact that Telegram is one of the
fastest growing social networks, there are few studies about
debunking fake news in Telegram.
Therefore, this research carried out a comparative study between
Russian and Ukrainian anti-fake Telegram channels during one week
in March 2022, in order to discover the debunking procedures that
have been used by the authors of those channels. Along with the
researches of content analysis which are introduced by Lasswell and
Bardin, the author used, during the investigation, the methodological
approaches that gained widespread popularity in the modern era - the
era of «post truth». For the purpose of the study, the author sought for
the difference in the debunking policies between Russian and
Ukrainian channels. In order to understand the intentions of the
channels, the author analyzed the emotional, subtextual and
allegorical background of the publications.
Telegram channels use provocative content in which the researcher
found elements of propaganda. This study finds out that there is
different content on the Telegram channels of both sides of the
conflict. Telegram channels use semantic instruments in order to
increase the audience. The findings would be beneficial for the
journalist community, as well as for the entire audience, who should
take care of verification of information and do better fact-checking.As manchetes dos principais meios de comunicação mundiais foram
alteradas quando a guerra entre a Rússia e a Ucrânia começou. O
desmascaramento de notícias falsas tornou-se uma importância
fundamental no trabalho da mídia de notícias, pois informações não
verificadas estão levando à perda de respeitabilidade. Existem certos
procedimentos de checagem de fatos que são bem reconhecidos pela
sociedade internacional de jornalistas. Ao contrário das regras
geralmente aceitas, as políticas de publicação do Telegram diferem de
muitas redes sociais, pois no Telegram não há moderação de conteúdo
publicado que dá uma grande oportunidade de produzir notícias falsas
e como resultado disso - desinformação em massa rápida. Apesar do
Telegram ser uma das redes sociais que mais crescem, há poucos
estudos sobre desmascarar notícias falsas no Telegram.
Portanto, esta pesquisa realizou um estudo comparativo entre os
canais anti-falsos do Telegram russo e ucraniano durante uma semana
de março de 2022, a fim de descobrir os procedimentos de
desmascaramento que foram usados pelos autores desses canais.
Juntamente com as pesquisas de análise de conteúdo que são
introduzidas por Lasswell e Bardin, o autor utilizou, durante a
investigação, as abordagens metodológicas que ganharam grande
popularidade na era moderna - a era da «pós-verdade». Para fins do
estudo, o autor buscou a diferença nas políticas de desmascaramento
entre os canais russos e ucranianos. Para entender as intenções dos
canais, o autor analisou o pano de fundo emocional, subtextual e
alegórico das publicações.
Os canais do Telegram usam conteúdo provocativo em que o
pesquisador encontrou elementos de propaganda. Este estudo
descobre que há conteúdos diferentes nos canais do Telegram de
ambos os lados do conflito. Os canais do Telegram utilizam
instrumentos semânticos para aumentar a audiência. As descobertas
seriam benéficas para a comunidade jornalística, bem como para todo
o público, que deveria cuidar da verificação das informações e fazer
uma melhor checagem de fatos
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
Literatura infantil como narrativa transmédia: O universo da super-heroína Mary Kate como narrativa transmédia
No full textO projeto tem por objetivo, educar crianças de 5 e 6 anos sobre segurança, através de uma narrativa transmédia. Perante o crescente uso de dispositivos digitais e a perda de relevância da leitura tradicional entre as crianças, este projeto busca promover o desenvolvimento infantil saudável, incentivando a imaginação, a socialização e a atividade física.
Ao longo da narrativa, as crianças completam diversas tarefas, que incluem brincar com uma casa de cartão, interagir com personagens de madeira, preencher uma lista de verificação e finalizar exercícios do livro. O objetivo consiste em ajudar a super-heroína Mary Kate a capturar os três vilões – Fogo, Eletricidade e a Água e, ao mesmo tempo, aprender sobre segurança. Após completarem as atividades, as crianças são recompensadas com uma moeda de ""Inspetor de Segurança Nível 1"", uma t-shirt e um certificado.
Além do livro, o projeto utiliza media secundários, como um canal YouTube com coreografias de dança das personagens e o merchandising, nomeadamente roupas e jogos para crianças. O projeto oferece uma abordagem transmédia, com o objetivo de educar, e interagir com as crianças utilizando diferentes média.
Deste modo, a autora espera não só entreter, mas também educar as crianças sobre segurança, promovendo uma consciencialização que poderá contribuir para a redução dos acidentes infantis. Serve ainda como modelo para futuras iniciativas educacionais como narrativas transmédia que promovam a saúde e segurança das crianças.
A importância deste projeto é particularmente relevante no contexto da União Europeia e Portugal, onde os acidentes são uma das principais causas de mortalidade infantil, resultando em milhares de mortes e internamentos anuais.The project aims to educate 5 and 6-year-old children about safety through a transmedia narrative. Given the increasing use of digital devices and the declining relevance of traditional reading among children, this project seeks to promote healthy childhood development by encouraging imagination, socialization and physical activity.
Throughout the narrative, they complete various tasks, including playing with a cardboard house, interacting with wooden characters, filling out a checklist and completing book exercises. The goal is to help superheroine Mary Kate capture three villains – Fire, Electricity and Water, while simultaneously learning about safety. Upon completing the activities, children are rewarded with a "Level 1 Safety Inspetor" coin, a t-shirt and a certificate.
In addition to the book, the project utilizes secondary media, such as a YouTube channel with characters' dance choreographies and merchandise, including children's clothing and games. The project offers a transmedia approach aimed at educating and engaging with children through different media.
Thus, the author hopes not only to entertain but also to educate children about safety, fostering awareness that could contribute to reducing childhood accidents. It also serves as a model for future educational initiatives that use transmedia narratives to promote children's health and safety.
The importance of this project is particularly relevant in the context of the European Union and Portugal, where accidents are one of the leading causes of child mortality, resulting in thousands of deaths and hospitalizations annually
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
