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
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
Frontières public/privé, marchand/non-marchand dans le champ de l'éducation et de la formation
Get PDFL'article propose une analyse socio-économique pour comprendre les métamorphoses récentes dans le champ éducatif. Définissant l'enseignement comme « service public culturel », il étudie les compromis sociopolitiques qui ont déterminé son orientation, de même qu'ils ont parallèlement orienté l'évolution des sociétés industrielles.Si, dans ces dernières, le mode de développement des champs sociaux, économiques, culturels a été marqué par leur autonomie, on constate aujourd'hui un état de crise qui déstabilise le champ culturel éducatif. L'auteur décrit les qissociations qui caractérisent cette situation, l'affrontement des logiques civique, domestique, industrielle. D'autres facteurs de crise s'ajoutent: les interrogations sur la légitimité de la relation éducative, sur la définition des finalités de l'action publique, et sur les conséquences de la réimbrication de l'économique et du culturel dans le processus de tertiairisation.L'auteur explore les scénarios de sortie de cette crise, dans un moment historique de « transition démocratique » où coexisteront les trois logiques. Entre un scénario de « l'école de la démocratie » et celui du développement du marché scolaire, l'issue est incertaine et les acteurs pèseront sur elle. Or ces derniers doutent aujourd'hui des finalités de l'action collective. Pour l'auteur, un scénario de la transition démocratique ne peut se penser que si l'on redéfinit le travail et si on ré-institutionnalise l'école en s'appuyant sur la demande d'appropriation et d'implication dont sont porteurs les travailleurs, les usagers, les citoyens.The article develops a socio-economic analysis to understand the recent metamorphoses in the educational field. Starting on the definition of education as a « public cultural service », he studies the socio-political compromises which determined its orientation, as they did in the same manner for the development of industrial societies.Although in those latter ones the way of development of social, economic and cultural fields were characterized by autonomy, we can observe today a situation of crisis which widens differences inside the cultural and educational field. The author describes the gaps which characterize this crisis, the conflicts between the civic, domestic and industrial systems of values. Other factors of crisis add up : questions about the legitimacy of educational relations, about the finalit y of public action and about the consequences of re-integrating the economic and cultural needs in the development of the tertiary sector.The author examines in which possible ways we might get out of the crisis in a historical period of « democratic transition » which would be a co-existence of the three forms of logic. Between the realization of a « democratic school » and that of an educational market of paying trainings, the result is doubtful and the actors will bear upon it whith aU their strength. In fact, at the moment, these actors are unsure of the real finality of collective action. For the author a democratic transition can only be realized by a new definition of work and by new school institutions on the basis of a need of owning and sharing deeply felt by workers, users ans citizens
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
