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

We propose that in situations where behavior is somewhat habitual but still flexible, repeated action can be modified by self-talk questions: Instead of a direct cue-behavior association, the situation may lead people to ask themselves a question, which then prompts action. Across three studies, participants showed below-baseline rates of behavior repetition when they were presented with the negative question ""Which one should I not choose?"". In contrast, people tended to repeat their behavior above baseline levels when they were presented with the affirmative question ""Which one should I choose?"". In Experiment 3, this effect vanished when repetition was explicitly requested, providing evidence for our hypothesis that self-talk most effectively guides behavior when behavior is still flexible."Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Sophie Lohmann, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-27 at 18:41.The student, Sophie Lohmann, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-04-27 at 19:03.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-04-28 at 09:42.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9562 on 2016-07-07 at 13:51:0
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
The psychological impact of perceiving the gender status quo as legitimate
Get PDFCan people benefit psychologically from thinking that the status quo is legitimate? Across three samples, we examined whether and why viewing current relations among men and women as legitimate provides people with a psychological boost. In all samples, we found that believing that current relations among men and women are fair and just (e.g., thinking that society is set up that men and women usually get what they deserve) was associated with greater life satisfaction and self-esteem. We found that perceiving oneself as less likely to be discriminated against in overt ways (e.g., being denied a job for unfair reasons) and subtle ways (e.g., being avoided in interactions) partially explained these relationships. Importantly, we found that these associations did not differ between men and women. Overall, these findings suggest that belief systems supporting the status quo can provide a palliative psychological effect through impacting people’s beliefs about whether they are targets of discrimination, and that this can occur for members of both advantaged and disadvantaged groups. These findings further contribute to understanding why people might support the status quo and denounce diversity in different settings even if it disadvantages them.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Julia Spielmann, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-23 at 20:17.The student, Julia Spielmann, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-04-23 at 20:19.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-04-24 at 08:26.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12381 on 2018-08-31 at 17:30:08Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:47:27Z (GMT).

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
Not all leaders are created equal: Strong leaders increase group cooperation
Get PDFA growing body of evidence suggests that punishment effectively increases and sustains group cooperation. Yet, not all punishers are similarly effective. Here, we present evidence from a behavioral economic experiment that tests the effect of leader strength on follower cooperation. Results indicate that strong leaders with a more dominant reputation (acquired through their highly punitive history of behavior) significantly increase follower cooperation. This pattern emerged regardless of whether these strong leaders were (a) assigned to groups, (b) chosen by followers through bids, or (c) leading in times of intergroup competition. Altogether, these findings offer support to the notion that despite the greater costs they may inflict on followers, strong leaders are also able to bestow benefits on groups, which may explain why they are preferred in general and more intensely during times of dire need.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-08-01The student, Fan Xuan Chen, accepted the attached license on 2019-07-15 at 15:43.The student, Fan Xuan Chen, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-07-15 at 15:52.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-07-16 at 11:20.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14326 on 2019-11-26 at 14:04:17Made available in DSpace on 2019-11-26T20:59:49Z (GMT).
