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
As frases do presidente lula
Get PDFA partir de levantamento realizado com o Correio Braziliense, o trabalho
apresenta um estudo sobre a representação da mulher no esporte. O trabalho constata
o preconceito sobre as atletas femininas. Os resultados quantitativos apresentados
evidenciam que neste veículo, como em outros, elas continuam a serem pouco
representadas pela mídia, apesar do crescente número de mulheres participando e
sendo bem-sucedidas no esporte
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
Cinema e representações sociais: alguns diálogos possíveis
Get PDFThis article intends to relate the concept of Social Representations, taken in several different aspects, to cinema studies, pointing some relevant elements to analyze it. This work has as aim to present briefly the thoughts of Durkheim about the genesis of the term representation and relate it to some contributions offered by Serge Moscovici and Denise Jodelet, both important names for the social psychology. Taking philosophy as matter, we try to introduce Michel Foucault’s reflexions on the crisis of representation, connecting them to the ideas of Gilbert Durand and the symbolic imagination, besides the conception of mimesis as presented by Paul Ricouer.Este artigo pretende relacionar o conceito de Representações Sociais, entendido a partir de diferentes perspectivas, com os estudos do Cinema, num esforço que visa apontar elementos que sirvam para analisar a sétima arte no que tange seu caráter representacional. Propomos, num primeiro momento, apresentar o pensamento de Durkheim acerca da gênese de representação, relacionando-a às contribuições de Serge Moscovici e Denise Jodelet, importantes nomes da Psicologia Social. Numa perspectiva mais filosófica, buscamos apresentar as reflexões de Michel Foucault sobre a crise da representação, abrindo-nos também a horizontes teóricos mais plurais e agregando os pensamentos de Gilbert Durand e a noção de imaginação simbólica, e de Paul Ricoeur e sua concepção de mimese
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
Mise en abyme e reflexividade em Mulholland Drive, de David Lynch
No full textThis paper intends to analyze the film Mulholland Drive (2001), directed by David Lynch, using the figures of mise en abyme and reflexivity as analytical tools. Considering dream and fantasy as the central elements that organize the narrative, we intend to comprehend how this film can be connected to other productions of classic and contemporary cinemas and how it achieves some issues related to the cinematographic field.Por meio das figuras da mise en abyme e da reflexividade, este artigo propõe analisar o filme Mulholland Drive (2001), de David Lynch, a fim de compreender como a obra, ao utilizar o sonho e a fantasia como elementos estruturadores da narrativa, constrói relações com outras produções do cinema clássico e contemporâneo, fazendo reverberar questões que atravessam o universo cinematográfico
