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
A la sombra del turismo: turismofobia en Tenerife
No full textEl turismo en Tenerife, como su principal motor económico, ha experimentado un crecimiento continuo en las últimas décadas. Esto ha intensificando la interacción entre la comunidad local y los turistas, generando tensiones y competencia por los recursos. Este Trabajo Fin de Máster investiga la relación entre la población local y la actividad turística, para detectar posibles signos de turismofobia en la isla. A través de una encuesta, se analizan las percepciones de los residentes con el objetivo de comprender cómo impacta el turismo en su vida diaria. La turismofobia es un fenómeno que surge en los destinos turísticos debido a la saturación, el impacto en la calidad de vida o la pérdida de identidad cultural, entre otros. Para abordar este problema, es importante tener en cuenta las opiniones de los residentes y trabajar con la industria turística para desarrollar estrategias que reduzcan su impacto negativo.Tourism in Tenerife, as its main economic driver, has experienced continuous growth in recent decades. This has intensified the interaction between the local community and tourists, leading to tensions and competition for resources. This Master's Thesis investigates the relationship between the local population and tourist activity to detect possible signs of tourism phobia on the island. Through a survey, the perceptions of residents are analyzed with the aim of understanding how tourism impacts their daily lives. Tourism phobia is a phenomenon that arises in tourist destinations due to saturation, impact on quality of life, or loss of cultural identity, among other factors. To address this problem, it is important to consider the opinions of residents and collaborate with the tourism industry to develop strategies that reduce its negative impact
Evaluación de la sostenibilidad en los establecimientos gastronómicos de la ciudad de Guayaquil, Ecuador
Get PDFAunque la sostenibilidad, en turismo, genera cada vez más conciencia, en Ecuador y en especial en la ciudad de Guayaquil, es necesario evaluar cómo esas prácticas sostenibles se ejecutan dentro de la restauración. Para ello, se revisaron los indicadores utilizados en estudios previos, y se elaboró un instrumento de evaluación, que se aplicó a una muestra de 121 establecimientos gastronómicos de la ciudad de Guayaquil. Los resultados mostraron que los restaurantes desarrollan prácticas de sostenibilidad con regularidad (siempre o casi siempre), siendo los de 5 tenedores, los ubicados al norte, los que poseen certificaciones y los no franquiciados, los establecimientos que registraron mayor constancia en la ejecución de dichas prácticas, especialmente en la dimensión económica. Además, las certificaciones y su organización como franquicia son factores que inciden en la frecuencia con la que practican ítems vinculados a la sostenibilidad.Although sustainability, in tourism, generates more and more awareness, in Ecuador and especially in the city of Guayaquil, it is necessary to evaluate how these sustainable practices are executed within the restaurant sector. To this end, the indicators used in previous studies were reviewed, and an evaluation instrument was developed, which was applied to a sample of 121 gastronomic establishments in the city of Guayaquil. The results showed that restaurants develop sustainability practices regularly (often or very always), with those with 5 forks, those located in the northern part of the city, those with certifications and non-franchises, being the establishments that registered the greatest frequency in the execution of said practices, especially in the economic dimension. Furthermore, certifications and their organization as a franchise are factors that affect the frequency with which they practice items linked to sustainability
Análisis de la responsabilidad social corporativa en los hoteles de la ciudad de Málaga
Get PDFLa Responsabilidad Social Corporativa se configura como un elemento competitivo en la gestión empresarial en un nuevo escenario global que demanda un cambio de mirada para dar respuesta al paradigma de la sostenibilidad.

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
