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
Objective Indication of Damage Rate in Natural Disasters and Reconversion Measures for Horticultural Crops
No full text為加速天然災害查報及救助工作，以及災害後復建之進行，災害查報及救助工作，需兼顧時效、正確及詳實。然園藝作物種類繁多，受害程度複雜，於損害程度認定與評估上爭議頗多。前臺騰省政府農林廳邀集農業試驗改良場所之研究人員，共同進行調查及研究，建立園藝作物天然災害損害率之客觀指標，以提供調查及救助執行人員參考應用。經由調查作物生長習性、界定生育期、建立基本資料、災害發生時、拍照比對、評估損害情形及記述受害特性與程度，分析受害率，供評估實際損害率。同時提供災害防範及採取有效之因應措施，以為政府辦理研擬救助、補助及各項因應措施，協助農民迅速恢復生產之施政參考依據。故本計畫內容包括災害客觀指標照片及說明、因應作物損害率客觀指標表及災害防範與復耕復建措施等三大主題，目前業已完成有蔬菜23種，果樹15種及花卉l種之天然災害損害率之客觀指標及天然災害防範與復耕復建措施。
The survey and relief of natural disasters and reconversion after disasters should be done in the consideration of timing, precision and details simultaneously. Disputes on judgment of damage degree and appraisal are inevitable because of varied responses in different crops and complication of disasters scales. Based on the investigation results, crop growth habits and growth period are basal data for photo comparison that taken after the damage. The damaged rates and real damaged rates are assessed from characteristics and levels of damage, providing disaster precaution and effective measures to assist the Government to evaluate the relief subsidy and corresponding policy for helping farmers to fast recovery their crops. This project covered three motifs, including objective index of disaster photos and its explanation, objective index table on crops damaged rates, and disaster precaution and reconversion measures. At the present, the objective index on natural disaster rate, precaution on natural disaster, and measures on re-ploughing and reconstruction have been established for 23 kinds of vegetables, 15 kinds of fruit trees and 1 kind of flower
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
