Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
“Ustedes nos coparon el lugar”. Un análisis de la relación entre políticas sociales, espacio urbano y juventudes a partir del caso del Centro de Prevención Local de Adicciones “El Palomar”, Ushuaia 2016-2020
No full textFil: Colombari, Bruno. Universidad Nacional de Tierra del Fuego. Instituto de Cultura, Sociedad y Estado; Argentina.Dentro del conjunto de las políticas sociales, en tanto intervenciones sociales del Estado, se encuentran aquellas del sector de la salud y dentro de este, las encargadas del abordaje de la problemática de los consumos de drogas. El órgano rector a nivel nacional en esta materia es la Secretaría de Políticas Integrales sobre Drogas de la Nación Argentina (Sedronar) que, en 2014, comenzó la implementación del programa de abordaje integral con eje en la problemática del consumo y las adicciones “Recuperar Inclusión” (PRI). La implementación del PRI implicó una nueva forma de intervención descentralizada y con infraestructura propia de la Sedronar. Por medio de la creación de Centros Preventivos Locales de Adicciones cogestionados con actores locales, la Sedronar logró presencia en diversos territorios del país y una inédita proximidad con las/os destinatarios de sus políticas.
En la presente tesis busco aportar a la comprensión del proceso de implementación de políticas sociales nacionales a nivel local. Para ello, en primer lugar, identifico las mutuas influencias entre territorio y políticas sociales; luego, registro el proceso político e institucional que configura a las políticas sociales en tanto campo en disputa; por último, describo las experiencias de participación de sus destinatarias/os (jóvenes de 15 a 30 años) y trabajadoras/es. Este análisis me permite abordar la relación entre políticas sociales, espacio urbano y juventudes.
El referente empírico de la tesis es el Centro Preventivo Local de Adicciones (CePLA) “El Palomar” ubicado en el barrio 245 viviendas de la ciudad de Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Este centro fue creado desde el PRI de la Sedronar mediante un convenio de cogestión con la Secretaría de Políticas Sociales, Sanitarias y Derechos Humanos de la Municipalidad de Ushuaia y la Asociación Civil “Club Social, Cultural y Deportivo El Palomar”.
El enfoque del estudio fue cualitativo y la estrategia de investigación el Estudio de Caso. El análisis de la relación entre políticas sociales, espacio urbano y juventudes se realizó mediante el estudio del caso del CePLA “El Palomar”. El abordaje del centro aporta evidencia empírica que contribuye a consolidar aspectos teóricos acerca del carácter disputado y conflictivo del proceso de implementación de una política social, sus modos de inscribirse en el espacio urbano y sus formas de intervenir en las experiencias y sociabilidades de las/os sujetos destinatarios de la misma.
Los datos empíricos provienen de fuentes primarias (construidas a través de la técnica de entrevista semi-estructurada) y secundarias (por medio de registros administrativos del CePLA; datos censales y relevamientos del Observatorio Argentino de Drogas). La técnica de entrevista fue aplicada sobre una muestra no probabilística en la que la selección de los casos fue estratégica, a partir de la identificación de cuatro tipos de entrevistadas/os (miembros de la asociación civil; vecinas/os del barrio de las 245 viviendas; profesionales, operadores/as y talleristas del CePLA; jóvenes usuarias/os). El trabajo de campo se extendió entre los meses de marzo y diciembre de 2021. Realicé 16 entrevistas que fueron codificadas mediante el programa informático de análisis de datos cualitativos Atlas.Ti.
La tesis está dividida en tres capítulos de presentación de resultados y un apartado final de recapitulación de los principales hallazgos. En el primer capítulo de presentación de resultados, analizo los usos, actores y disputas en torno al espacio en el que se encuentra actualmente el CePLA El Palomar, desde comienzos de la década de 1990 hasta la actualidad. A partir de la reconstrucción de la historia del espacio visualizo que la creación del centro en el sitio donde se emplazó puede rastrearse desde el momento en que un grupo de vecinas/os y practicantes de karate decidió ocupar el ex-obrador de las tiras de edificios que conforman el barrio donde está ubicado actualmente el centro. Mediante ese recorrido evidencio la forma en que la historia del lugar influyó en el desarrollo del centro y la llegada de este en las relaciones sociales que se daban en esa porción del suelo urbano.
En el segundo capítulo de presentación de resultados, analizo la producción situada de una política social impulsada desde el Estado nacional, la relación interinstitucional y el proceso social y político que la configura. Allí intento dar cuenta de las particularidades que asumen los lineamientos programáticos de una política social nacional en el contexto local. Para ello, identifico los principales factores que posibilitaron su desarrollo, algunos de los cuales se desprenden de las características específicas que tuvo el programa de origen (PRI), mientras que otros se vinculan con la relación político-partidaria entre los actores en juego. Estos factores pueden constituirse en tanto claves analíticas para el abordaje de los procesos de implementación de políticas sociales nacionales a nivel local.
En el tercer capítulo de presentación de resultados, describo el CePLA El Palomar desde la perspectiva de quienes lo habitan a diario: las/os jóvenes que asisten y sus trabajadoras/es. El análisis de las experiencias institucionales de estas/os me permitió precisar y profundizar los términos “prevención” y “asistencia”, reconstruir la forma en que estos centros funcionan más.Within the cluster of social policies, seen as a group of social interventions from the State, there are those from the health sector and inside this, those in charge of dealing with the problem of drug consumption. The institution that regulates this at a national level is the Secretariat of Comprehensive Policies on Drugs of the Argentine Nation (Sedronar), which started to implement the comprehensive approach program centred in the drug consumption problem and addictions called “Recuperar Inclusión” (“PRI”) (“Recover inclusion program” in English) in 2014. The implementation of the “PRI” program meant a new form of decentralized intervention and with Sedronar’s own infrastructure. By means of the creation of Prevention Centres (“CePLA” in Spanish), crowded with local actors, the “Sedronar” was able to settle in different territories of our country and to accomplish an unprecedented proximity with the target subjects of its policies.
In this Master dissertation, I look forward to contributing to the description and understanding of the process of implementing national social policies at a local level. In doing so, first, I identify the mutual influences between territory and social policies. Then, I register the political and institutional process that shapes social policies as a disputed field. Finally, I describe the target subjects’ young people between the ages of 15 and 29) and workers’ experience of participation. This analysis allows me to approach the relation among social policies, urban space and the youth.
The empirical referent of this Master dissertation is the Local Drug Prevention Centre (“CePLA”) called “El Palomar”, located in the “245 viviendas” neighbourhood of the city of Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. This centre was created by the “Sedronar PRI” through a co-government agreement with the Secretariat of Social, Health and Human Rights policies of the Municipality of Ushuaia and the Civil Association called “Club Social, Cultural y Deportivo El Palomar”.
This research was guided by the qualitative approach and research strategy known as Case Study. The analysis of the relation among social policies, urban space and the youth was carried out through the study of the CePLA “El Palomar” case. The choice of this centre occurred so as to consider that its study provides empirical evidence which contributes to consolidate theoretical aspects regarding the disputed and controversial characteristic of the process of implementing a social policy, its ways of entering into the urban space and its forms of intervention in the target subjects’ experiences and sociabilities.
The approach was a diachronic one and I combined primary (constructed through the semi-structured interview technique) and secondary sources (by means of the CePLA’s administrative records, Census Data, and surveys from the Argentine Drug Observatory). The interview technique was applied to a non-probabilistic sampling in which the selection of the cases was strategic by identifying four types of profile from the interviewees. The field work started in March 2021 and finished in December of the same year. I performed 16 interviews which were codified through the use of the computer program for the analysis of qualitative data called Atlas.Ti.
This Master dissertation is divided into three chapters for the presentation of the results and a final section for the recapitulation of the main findings. In the first chapter of the presentation of the results, I analyse the use, actors and disputes related to the space where CePLA “El Palomar” is currently located, since the beginnings of the 1990s till today. By reconstructing the history of the space, I visualise that the settling of the centre in this location can be traced back to the period when a group of neighbours and karate practitioners decided to occupy the former workshop in the buildings that form the neighbourhood and where the centre is currently located. By means of this, I make evident the way in which the history of the place influenced the development of the centre and its scope within the social relations which existed in this piece of urban land.
In the second chapter of the presentation of the results, I analyse the situated production of a social policy promoted by the national state, the interinstitutional relation and the social and political process that shapes it. Here I try to account for the particularities assumed by the programmatic guidelines of a national social policy in the local context. For this reason, I identify the main factors that contributed to its development, some of which derive from the specific characteristics the original program had (“PRI”), while others are related to the political-partisan relationship between the actors at stake. These factors can become analytical keys to approach the implementation processes of national social policies at a local level.
In the third chapter of the presentation of the results, I describe the CePLA “El Palomar” from the perspective of whom inhabit it on a daily basis, that is, the young who attend this institution and its workers. The analysis of their institutional experiences allowed me to specify and deepen the terms “prevention” and “assistance”, reconstruct the way in which these centres work, beyond the programmatic guidelines, acknowledge the way of Sedronar’s decentralised intervention and the complexities involved in the co-government with local actors. In addition, from the different experiences I observed that the centre is a polysemic institution overflowing those perceptions which associate as well as reduce it to exclusively to a centre “where the youngsters who take drugs go”, or it is mistaken as a club, a community centre or therapeutic community
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
