Are You Human? Investigating the Perceptions and Evaluations of Virtual Versus Human Instagram Influencers
This is the file repository used for our study originally titled "Are you human? Detecting the difference in trust evaluations between virtual and human influencers," REB 2022-6058 at Dalhousie University, done through the NeuroCognitive Imaging Lab. This study was later nicknamed "Instagram" for short, based on the primary information technology of interest. We are currently preparing an article to disseminate the results of this study in a way that is accessible to anyone in the world. In this folder you will find our original and processed files collected throughout the experiment. The repository consists of 22 electroencephalography (EEG) and behavioural recordings prepared while participants attended various images of Instagram influencers. The EEG recordings were used to compare event-related potentials, which ultimately revealed patterns that may reflect perturbing and emotional reactions to the images. It also contains 150 responses to a behavioural study based on a similar paradigm labelled "Study 1" provided in CSV format
How Can We Determine What’s Real? A Cognitive Assessment of User Trust Towards AI-Generated Images of Politicians
This is the file repository used for our study originally titled "How Can We Determine What’s Real? A Cognitive Assessment of User Trust Towards AI-Generated Images of Politicians," REB 2023-6848 at Dalhousie University, done through the NeuroCognitive Imaging Lab in partnership with the Cognition and Organizations Research Group. This study was later nicknamed "Political AI" for short, based on the phenomenon of interest. The repository consists of 23 (of 26 reported in the paper) electroencephalography (EEG) and behavioural recordings prepared while participants attended various images of politicians. The images came in one of four conditions: AI generated, AI generated with a truthfulness notification, human, and human with a truthfulness notification. The EEG recordings were used to compare event-related potentials, which ultimately revealed patterns associated with attentional and affective processes. The paradigm is provided and this set also contains 300 responses to an online behavioural study based on a similar paradigm called "online behavioral" provided in CSV format
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
