    The 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” 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

    We 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

    [cat] La llengua catalana és un idioma que forma part de la nostra cultura des d’abans de Crist. Amb els anys, aquesta llengua com qualsevol altra, ha evolucionat fins arribar al català actual, que és xerrat a diferents ciutats i països. A les Illes Balears es troba el dialecte balear i més concretament, a Mallorca es xerra el mallorquí. A les illes el català és una llengua molt utilitzada, tot i que la seva llengua estatal és el castellà i que cada vegada hi ha un nombre més elevat d’estrangers. Si es relaciona la llengua catalana i la castellana, sorgeixen moltes similituds però també moltes diferències i dubtes. Aquest estudi, servirà per veure el nivell acadèmic actual i l’evolució de la llengua catalana de dues escoles mallorquines totalment diferents, del municipi de Calvià. També gràcies a la recollida de dades, es podran aclarir moltes respostes i dubtes.[eng] Catalan is a language that is part of our culture from before Christ. With the years, this language like any other one, it has evolved up to coming to the current Catalan, which is spoken in different cities and countries. In the Balearic Islands is the Balearic dialect and more specifically, in Majorca is speaking the Majorcan. In the islands, Catalan is a very used language, although its national language is the Spanish and that every time there is a big number of a foreigner. If Catalan language and Spanish one are related, many similarities arise but also a lot of differences and you doubt. This study, it will serve to see the current academic level and the evolution of Catalan language of two completely different Majorcan schools, of the municipality of Calvià. Also thanks to the data capture, many answers and doubts will be able to clear up

    Ansietat i valors a l'aula d'EF i a les activitats extraescolars

    [cat] Durant aquest article, el que es vol tractar, és la quantitat d’emocions i sentiments negatius que poden percebre els alumnes durant la seva edat escolar, tant a nivell educatiu (intel·lectualment parlant) com a nivell físic (dins les aules d’Educació Física i altres activitats extraescolars). Per aquest motiu, durant l’estudi s'analitzaran les relacions existents entre l'ansietat competitiva, en les seves facetes cognitiva i somàtica, i els valors en la pràctica esportiva en una escola durant les sessions d’educació física i les activitats extraescolars proposades pel centre. Els participants d’aquest estudi varen ser 100 esportistes (50 alumes d’activitats extraescolars i 50 alumnes de les aules d’Educació Física). Per valorar l'ansietat, es va utilitzar els qüestionari SAS-2 (Ramis, Torregrosa, Viladrich i Cruz, 2010) veure a l’annex 1, i per valorar l'ús de l'astúcia i l'engany, el CDED (Ponseti, 2012), veure a l’annex 2. Finalment, aquests resultats es discuteixen i es comparen amb altres similars en poblacions preadolescents. Baix el meu punt de vista, les classes d’Educació Física no és una classe comú a la resta, per tant, crea un altre tipus de relació entre companys, més afectiva. Llavors, els alumnes davant un estímul, poden reaccionar d’una forma o d’una altre, es a dir, segons el caire de cada alumne i la relació alumne-classe, poden arribar a no complir les normes i per tant que el joc no funcioni totalment. Per això, és important deixar clares les normes, intentar complir-les i crear uns valors adequats per a tothom. Llavors, és normal que els infants desenvolupin certes pors i experimentin sensacions temoroses davant diferents problemes, durant el seu desenvolupament. Amb el temps, les pors normals desapareixen quan els alumnes aprenen més sobre allò que s’espera de l’entorn i de les relacions amb altres persones. Quan les seves pors no se’n van i comencen a intervenir dins la vida personal i les activitats diàries de l’infant, pot ser considerat com a trastorn d'ansietat.[eng] During this article, to be treated, is the amount of negative feelings and emotions that can perceive the students during their school age , both educational (intellectually speaking) as physical (within Physical education classrooms and other school activities). For this reason, during the study analyzed the relationship between competitive anxiety in somatic and cognitive facets and values in sports in school during the sessions of physical education and extracurricular activities proposed the middle. The participants of this study were 100 athletes (50 alum extracurricular activities and 50 students of the classroom physical education). To assess the anxiety questionnaire was used the SAS -2 (Ramis, Torregrosa, Viladrich and Cruz, 2010), and evaluate the use of cunning and deceit , the CDED (Ponseti, 2012). Finally, these results are discussed and compared with similar population tweens. Under my point of view, the Physical Education classes is a common class to the other, thus creating a different kind of relationship between colleagues, more emotional. Then, students face a stimulus, can react in one way or another, that is, according to the nature of each student and student-class ratio, they can not meet the standards and therefore the game not function fully. Therefore, it is important to clarify the rules, try to fulfill them and create appropriate values for everyone. So it is normal that children develop fears and experience some fearful feelings to different problems during development. Over time, normal fears disappear when students learn more about what is expected of the surroundings and relationships with others. When their fears do not go away and begin to intervene in the personal lives and daily activities of the child can be considered as anxiety disorder

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    We 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
