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
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
Medicalização escolar e o processo normatizador da coação adulta: a era da palmatória química em uma sociedade hiperativa
No full textOs processos de patologização e medicalização crescente da vida no mundo contemporâneo não perdoam a infância, atravessam os muros da escola e escamoteiam as desigualdades transformando-as em doenças. Respaldados por uma visão hegemônica, tal conduta resulta em tratamentos que individualizam e estigmatizam o aluno. Na procura por solucionar os problemas que emanam do âmbito escolar, desloca-se de uma discussão político-pedagógica e buscam-se soluções rápidas em tratamentos clínicos e medicamentosos, por meio de um reducionismo absoluto que culpabiliza, rotula, estigmatiza e pune o aluno. Assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo discutir de forma crítica essa visão biologizante que se tem do homem como também, analisar a medicalização como um processo proveniente da coação adulta que pode impedir o desenvolvimento moral do aluno a ponto de dificultar o alcance da autonomia. Com a hipótese de que os distúrbios de aprendizagem são invenções oportunistas e estratégicas das indústrias farmacológicas, optamos pelo método da triangulação com o intuito de aumentar a credibilidade ao fazermos uma comparação das diferentes escolas pesquisadas no campo, que inclusive deu origem a uma triangulação que contempla três escolas brasileiras e outra que une Brasil, Chile e França. Tal estratégia metodológica nos possibilitou verificar que somente a escola tradicional opta por encaminhar seus alunos aos profissionais da saúde; as escolas democráticas não cogitam essa ideia e lidam com a prática educacional de forma diferente. Como forma de sustentar a pesquisa como um todo, adotamos uma coerência metodológica ao optar também pela triangulação teórica que colaborou para uma reflexão sobre as práticas sociais e educativas, a partir de apontamentos teóricos existentes nas teorias de Ivan Illich, Michel Foucault e de alguns conceitos consolidados da teoria de Jean Piaget.The pathological processes and increasing medicalization of life in the contemporary world does not forgive a child, go through the school walls and not think inequalities turning them into diseases. Backed by a hegemonic vision, such conduct results in treatments that individualize and stigmatize students. In the search for solving the problems emanating from the school setting, it moves from a political-pedagogical discussion and look up quick solutions in medical and drug treatments through an absolute reductionism that blames, letters, stigmatizes and punishes the student. This work aims to discuss critically this biologizing vision about the man as well as analyze the medicalization as a process from the adult constraint that can prevent moral development of the student as to hinder the achievement of autonomy. With the hypothesis that learning disabilities are opportunistic and strategic inventions of pharmaceutical industries, we chose the triangulation method in order to enhance credibility by doing a comparison of different schools surveyed in the field, which even led to a triangulation which includes three Brazilian schools and another that joins Brazil, Chile and France. Through this triangulation we see that only the traditional school chooses to send their students to health professionals; democratic schools do not set their minds this idea and deal with educational practice differently. As a way of supporting research as a whole, we have adopted a methodological coherence to also opt for theoretical triangulation that contributed to a reflection on the social and educational practices from existing theoretical approaches in the theories of Ivan Illich, Michel Foucault and some concepts consolidated from Jean Piaget's theory.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES

NOVOS PROBLEMAS E VELHAS FRAGILIDADES:: A EXPERIÊNCIA DOCENTE NO ENSINO SUPERIOR EM PSICOLOGIA EM TEMPOS DE PANDEMIA DA COVID -19
Get PDFCom a extrema necessidade de isolamento social pela pandemia de covid-19, o ensino superior precisou reformular as aulas presenciais. A educação passou por diversas adaptações e, como consequência, os professores tiveram que adotar como medida emergencial novos métodos tecnológicos para o formato remoto. Assim, este artigo tem como objetivo apontar e discutir algumas experiências que nasceram de estratégias planejadas com o intuito de abrandar o impacto negativo causado pelo cenário pandêmico. Para tanto, foram utilizados como objeto de análise alguns relatos detalhados acerca das práticas de ensino e aprendizagem vivenciadas ao longo dos meses e que retratam as sensações e sentimentos dos docentes diante de algo até então inusitado. Cabe dizer que este trabalho aponta os desafios vividos por professores nativos do ensino presencial, com pouco ou nenhum conhecimento em educação a distância, e que desenvolveram as ações educacionais estabelecidas por diferentes instituições
