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
Critique queer du droit international pénal : l'exemple de la persécution dans le statut de Rome
No full textL'orientation sexuelle et l'identité de genre représentent des motifs de discrimination récurrents et vastement documentés à travers le monde. Alors que le régime des droits humains semble s'ouvrir progressivement sur ces questions, le droit international pénal demeure particulièrement hésitant lorsqu'il s'agit d'emboîter le pas des institutions onusiennes. Du côté académique, de nombreux débats existent encore quant à la place accordée aux enjeux touchant les minorités sexuelles et de genre en droit international pénal et les outils théoriques développés afin d'explorer ses questions sont souvent stigmatisés ou sous-exploités. Ainsi, ce mémoire propose de créer un dialogue entre les théories queers du droit et le droit international pénal afin de favoriser les réflexions sur le traitement des minorités sexuelles et de genre en droit international pénal à partir d'une perspective centrée sur l'expérience de ce groupe. Pour ce faire, il sera question de définir le cadre théorique et méthodologique queer et d'offrir un exemple pratique de la manière dont celui-ci peut être appliqué dans le cadre d'une analyse en droit international pénal. En l'espèce, il sera question de s'intéresser au débat concernant l'inclusion -ou l'exclusion- des minorités sexuelles en tant que groupe protégé aux fins de l'art 7 (1)(h), (2)(g) et (3) du Statut de Rome.Sexual orientation and gender identity are recurring and well-documented grounds for discrimination around the world. While the human rights regime seems to be gradually opening up on these issues, international criminal law remains particularly hesitant to follow the lead of UN institutions. On the academic side, there are still many debates about the place given to sexual and gender minority issues in international criminal law and the theoretical tools developed to explore these issues are often stigmatized or under-exploited. Thus, this dissertation proposes to create a dialogue between queer theories of law and international criminal law to foster reflections on the treatment of sexual and gender minorities in international criminal law from a perspective centred on the experience of this group. To this end, we will define the theoretical and methodological framework of queer law and offer a practical example of how it can be applied in an analysis of international criminal law. In this case, it will focus on the debate concerning the inclusion -or exclusion- of sexual minorities as a protected group for the purposes of art(1)(h), (2)(g) and (3) of the Rome Statute
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
