A trajetória de um monumento na paisagem urbana de Porto Alegre (1866-2013): de Chafariz Imperador para Afluentes do Guaíba
Este estudo identifica os fatores relacionados aos deslocamentos espaciais do Chafariz Imperador. Trata-se de um monumento instalado no final de 1866 e início de 1867, na Praça da Matriz em Porto Alegre (RS), pela Companhia Hidráulica Porto Alegrense, em virtude da comemoração do início do fornecimento de água potável aos cidadãos da Capital. Atualmente, algumas peças que restaram dele encontram-se na Praça Dom Sebastião, localizada no centro da cidade. A reconstrução da trajetória histórica do monumento entre o período de 1866-2013 deu-se a partir de uma pesquisa documental de caráter qualitativo nos seguintes locais: Arquivo Histórico de Porto Alegre Moysés Vellinho, Arquivo Histórico do Rio Grande do Sul, Museu da Comunicação Hipólito José da Costa, Museu Joaquim José Felizardo. Além desses, nos acervos digitais da Fundação Biblioteca Nacional e Center Research for Libraries. Ao final deste estudo, identifiquei que as relações entre os deslocamentos espaciais do Chafariz Imperador e as transformações da paisagem urbana de Porto Alegre, estão associadas à Cultura Política dos grupos detentores do poder. Verifiquei que apenas, mais recentemente, as decisões quanto à localização e à preservação do monumento passam a ser tratadas por agentes públicos especializados que se ocupam do Patrimônio Cultural da cidade.This study identifies factors related to geographical displacements of the Emperor Fountain. It is a monument installed in the late 1866 and in the beginning of 1867, in Matriz square in Porto Alegre (RS), the Porto Alegrense Hydraulic Company due to the celebration of the start of the drinking water supply to Porto Alegre´s citizens. Nowadays, some remaining parts of the fountain are located in Dom Sebastião square, in the city´s downtown. The rebuilding of the historical trajectory of the monument between the periods of 1866-2013 took place from a documental research of qualitative focus in the following places: Vellinho Moyses Historical Archive of Porto Alegre, Historical Archive of Rio Grande do Sul state, Hippolytus José da Costa Museum of Communication, Joaquim José Felizardo Museum. In addition to these places, in the digital collections of the National Library Foundation and in the Center Research for Libraries. At the end of this study, I identified relationships between spatial displacements of the Emperor Fountain and the changes of Porto Alegre´s urban landscape, which are connected to the Political Culture of the most powerful and influent groups of the city. I also noticed that only recently, the decisions regarding the location and preservation of the monument began to be treated by specialized public officials dealing with the city´s cultural heritage

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
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
“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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
