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
Libraries in the Croatian War of Independence in the Territory of Slavonia
No full textTijekom Domovinskog rata u Hrvatskoj od 1991. do 1995.godine izgubljeni su brojni ljudski životi i uništeni mnogi gradovi, no često se zaboravlja na devastiranu i potpuno uništenu ili izgubljenu kulturnu baštinu, ponajviše na knjižnu građu. Važno je spomenuti kako mnoge knjižnice diljem Republike Hrvatske još uvijek nisu uspjele povratiti izgubljene dijelove svojih fondova, a u mnogim krajevima knjižnice su u cijelosti zapaljene ili uništene, a skupa s njima i vrijedna građa. Ovaj rad obuhvaća knjižnice na području Slavonije u gradovima kao što su Osijek, Vinkovci, Vukovar i Slavonski Brod. Riječ je o vrlo kompleksnoj i širokoj temi te je ovo pokušaj sastavljanja onog najvažnijeg. Glavno pitanje bilo bi: zašto su knjižnice bile „omiljena“ meta agresora? Ta vrsta uništavanja i devastacije naročito je bila naglašena kada su u pitanju bili osvajački ratovi gdje je vojska pokušavala izbrisati svaki trag dotadašnjeg naroda i njihove kulture, pri čemu su knjižnice i njihovi fondovi kao najjače utvrde civilizacije i baštinske ostavštine bile prve i omiljene mete agresora. Prije svega, to je bila najagresivnija vrsta kulturološkog genocida, a neprijatelj je znao kako time briše povijest čitavog naroda. Pojedine knjižnice nisu imale niti malo sreće te su njihove zgrade, ali i čitavi fondovi potpuno spaljeni i sravnjeni sa zemljom. Neke od njih su: Narodna knjižnica i čitaonica Vinkovci, Prehrambeno-tehnološki fakultet u Osijeku, Poljoprivredni fakultet u Osijeku, knjižnica Franjevačkog samostana sv. Filip i Jakov u Vukovaru i knjižnica gradskog muzeja u Vukovaru. Pojedine knjižnice teško su oštećene i onesposobljene za daljnju funkciju i rad, kao primjerice Gradska knjižnica Slavonski Brod, Nova Gradiška itd. Knjižnice koje su poznate po sudbini koja je bila vrlo tragična jer se odvijala pod okupiranim područjima i gradovima koji su osobito bili na meti pljačkanja i uništavanja bile su one u Vukovaru i Iloku.During the croatian war of indepedency 1991.-1995. A lot of human lives were lost and many towns were destroyed, but oftenly we forget devastated and destroyed patrimony, mostly books. It is important to mention that many libraries in Republic of Croatia still didn't succeed in their efforts to reestablished lost parts of their fonds, and in many regions libraries were burned and destroyed, and along with them important librarian materials. This work considers libraries in the region of Slavonia in towns such as Osijek, Vinkovci, Vukovar and Slavonski Brod. It is about very complex and vast subject so this is attempt to recolect the essential. The main question would be: why were the libreries agressor's „favourite“ target? That sort of devastation and destruction was espesially accentuated during the conquering wars in wich army tries to erase all traces of culture of domestic people who lived there before their invasion, and in that process libraries as the citadeles of culture and patrimony were the first and favourite targets of agressor. Above all, it was the most agressive kind of cultural genocide, and the enemy knew that by doing this he erases the history of one whole nation. Certain libraries had no luck at all so their builldings and all their fonds were burned down to the ground. Some of them are: The Public Library and Reading Room in Vinkovci, The Faculty of Food Processing Technology, The Central Library of the Faculty of Agriculture, The Franciscan Monastery Library in Vukovar, The Town Museum Library in Vukovar. Some of the libraries were severely damaged and were disabled to work, such as The Public Library of Slavonski Brod, Nova Gradiška etc. Libraries that were very well known for their tragical fait that occured in regions and cities that were occupied and targets of looting and destruction were those in Vukovar and Ilok
PREDODŽBE O VIKINZIMA OD SREDNJOVJEKOVLJA DO SUVREMENOSTI
No full textOvaj rad imagološka je analiza skandinavskoga naroda Vikinga. Interpretacijom povijesnih prikaza upoznajemo koje su to heteropredodžbe utjecale na stvaranje slike o samim Vikinzima. Od srednjovjekovlja do danas dolazilo je do raznih interpretacija rijetkih pisanih izvora što je rezultiralo stvaranju brojnih streotipa koji su nerijetko predstavljali iskrivljenu sliku o Vikinzima, ne samo u Europi već u čitavom svijetu. Veliku ulogu u stvaranju predodžbi u popularnoj kulturi imaju upravo njihovi jedinstveni kulturni i vjerski običaji koji su polazište za snimanje serije „Vikinzi“.This paper is the analysis of scandinavian imagology of people of Vikings. By interprating historical reviews, we get to know which heteroperceptions had influence in forming the image of Vikings. From the Middle Ages until today, it came to a variety of interpretations of the few written sources resulting in creation of a number of stereotypes that are often represented by a distorted perception of Vikings, not only in Europe but in the whole world. A major role in the creation of images of Vikigs as it is today had their unique cultural and religious traditions that are the starting point for the recording of the TV series "the Vikings"
