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
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
Hacia la gestación del Estado-militar-neocorporativo en México
No full textEste trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la reconfiguración reciente del poder estatal en México desde la mirada de la economía política. Desde este lugar se plantea que en el último mandato presidencial, a cargo de López Obrador (2018-2024), se han ido sentando las bases de un Estado que, en busca de saldar la crisis de legitimidad que se experimentaba en el país en sexenios previos, no abandona la política económica neoliberal ni el carácter militar-coercitivo instalado a través de la llamada ‘guerra contra el narcotráfico’, pero impulsa una política social de programas de asistencia monetaria que se han convertido en la base de un consenso social políticamente subordinado que cimienta el piso de un nuevo Estado-militar-neocorporativo.This paper analyses the recent reconfiguration of state power in Mexico from the perspective of political economy. It argues that during the most recent presidential term under López Obrador (2018-2024), the foundations of a new state model were been laid. In an effort to address the legitimacy crisis experienced under previous administrations, this model retains neoliberal economic policies and the militarised and coercive character established through the so-called 'war on drugs.' It, however, promotes a social policy based on monetary assistance programmes, which have become the foundation of a politically subordinated social consensus that underpins a new military-neocorporate state

Asimetrías regionales, modelo exportador y despotismo laboral: : el caso de las maquilas de autopartes en México.
Full text linkEste trabajo tiene el objetivo de contribuir al análisis crítico de la industria automotriz en México, poniendo especial énfasis en la vinculación que existe entre la condición productiva dependiente y subordinada, y la configuración del proceso de trabajo en el piso de las fábricas. Haciendo esta articulación se busca mostrar, en primer lugar, que la inserción dependiente de México a las cadenas productivas norteamericanas de la industria automotriz se produce como resultado de una desigual división internacional técnica y salarial en la que los eslabones estratégicos en la innovación y los más elevados en contenido tecnológico se concentran en EUA, mientras que los eslabones de la cadena productiva más pobres en generación de valor agregado y más intensos en el uso de la fuerza de trabajo se concentran en México. Siguiendo esto, se demostrará en segundo lugar que esta condición asimétrica y desigual bajo la cual se despliegue el complejo automotriz México-EUA tiene impactos concretos en el proceso de trabajo dentro de las maquilas de autopartes en México, donde se tiende a generalizar un régimen laboral de carácter despótico.This article aims to contribute to the critical analysis of the automotive industry in Mexico, placing special emphasis on the link that exists between the dependent and subordinate productive configuration and the configuration of the labor process taking place on the factory floor. By making this articulation, it shows, firstly, that Mexico's dependent insertion into the North American auto production chains occurs as a result of an unequal technical and wage division in which the strategic links in innovation and high technological content are concentrated in the United States, while the links of the productive chain poorest in generating added value and most labor intensive are concentrated in Mexico. Secondly, it shows that the place that this asymmetric, unequal and dependent condition under which the Mexico-US automotive complex is deployed has concrete and differentiated impacts on the organization of the work process of the auto parts maquilas in Mexico, tending to generalize Depostic labor process organizational model.Este trabalho visa contribuir para a análise crítica da indústria automobilística no México, com ênfase especial na vinculação entre a condição produtiva dependente e subordinada e a configuração do processo de trabalho no chão de fábrica. Fazendo essa articulação, busca-se mostrar, primeiramente, que a inserção dependente do México nas cadeias produtivas norte-americanas da indústria automobilística ocorre como resultado de uma divisão internacional desigual do trabalho técnico e salarial, em que os elos da cadeia produtiva Os empregos mais precários, os mais pobres na geração de valor agregado e o uso mais intensivo de mão de obra estão concentrados no México. Em seguida, será demonstrado em segundo lugar que essa condição assimétrica e desigual sob a qual se desenvolve o complexo automotivo México-EUA tem impactos concretos no processo de trabalho dentro das maquiladoras de autopeças no México, onde um regime trabalhista tende a ser generalizado. caráter despótico
