Connecting the Continuum: Women's Ways of Knowing and the Criminal Courts
No full textLived experience criminology has tended to focus on the boundaried experiences of the carceral space, despite the criminal courts being the state’s primary route to criminalisation. In recognition that involvement with the criminal justice system is not a static process, this paper seeks to theorise the continuum of experiences of those criminalised by the state. Through the use of feminist epistemologies, this paper interrogates women’s ways of knowing through the embodied and sensory experiences of the criminal courts system in England and Wales. By pushing lived experience (LE) criminology beyond traditional methods of auto-ethnographic enquiry and connecting the harms of the state, the paper builds towards a fuller interrogation of the processes of women’s criminalisation. In doing so we aim to contribute to the growing body of feminist LE criminology and disrupt the ‘male, pale, stale’ narratives (Cox and Malkin, 2003; Earle et al., 2023) around experiences of criminalisation. In the vein of Les Back (2007) we argue for a system that listens more to all voices and appreciates more widely all forms of knowledge
INTRODUCTION: Redrawing the Boundaries of Criminological Knowledge
No full textThis book, Beyond Autoethnography: Lived Experience Criminology, is not simply a scholarly collection. It is a rupture, a declaration, and a reclamation. It is an insistence that criminology can no longer afford to treat lived experience as marginal, supplemental, or anecdotal. This volume argues for a paradigmatic shift: to centre lived experience not as ornamental or an afterthought but as the beating heart of criminological enquiry. The voices, insights, and analyses that emerge from those most directly impacted by the carceral state, whether through personal entanglement or professional proximity, must be taken seriously as theoretical, methodological, and epistemological contributions. It is, in short, an act of epistemic insurgency: a collective assertion that theory must answer to the flesh, that concepts must be accountable to corporeal memory, and that scholarship devoid of embodied grounding is at best partial, at worst complicit in the violence and harms it purports to study.Highlighting the complex human realities that exist within the criminal justice system, this book foregrounds scholars and activists who harness their own encounters with policing, courts, and imprisonment to recast criminological theory, method, and policy, proving lived experience as an important aspect of criminological and sociological enquiry. Grounding lived experiences within broader sociological, psychological, and criminological theories, this book advocates ethically established perspectives that centre marginalised voices and embed lived experience wisdom, knowledge, and expertise in scholarship and professional practice

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
