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

No full textHe aha rā ia ngā hua kua puta i te kura kaupapa Māori [KKM]? Kua whai hua rānei te kaupapa nei? Ko hea ngā taumata angitu KKM? Mā wai hei whakatau pēnā e ekea ana ngā taumata tika?
Kua roa ēnei pātai, i te horopaki o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi Marae [TKKM o HWM], e puta ana i roto i te kairangahau nei, me te aha, ka noho hei aronga i ēnei mahi.
He mata tini ō te angitu; ka rerekē ana te kaupapa, ka rerekē anō hoki tōna whakatinanatanga. Tā tēnei kaupapa he aro ki ngā whārahitanga o Angitu KKM. Ko te tohe ia, kua roa nei te angitu KKM e whakaauahatia ana e ngā ringa auraki, tē puta mai ai tōna auaha Māori. Ka mutu, inā noa atu ngā hua kua puta i te KKM e noho rehurehu tonu ana, he kore nō rātou i tino hāngai ki te angitu mātauranga ki tā te nuipuku i aro ai.
Ko te tāpaetanga matua i tēnei rangahau, ko te ngako o te angitu KKM kei ngā paenga o Te Aho Matua [TAM] e takoto ana. Ko tana whāinga matua kia puta atu te tamaiti hei raukura mō tōna iwi. Nō reira, ina kōrerohia te angitu KKM, me hāngai ki TAM, ka tika.
I hua ake te kaupapa nei i tā te kairangahau noho i TKKM o HWM, otirā, kua whakawhāitihia mai te aronga o ngā mahi nei ki te kura nei. Ka mutu, ko te pātai matua, 'He pēhea rānei te āhua o te raukura kua puta i TKKM o HWM?'
Hei whakautu i te pātai o runga nei, ka kōwhāhia te pūkākano o Wheako KKM e kitea mai ai ngā kākano o Angitu e noho mai ana. Ko ngā wheako e kōrerohia nei, ko ērā o tētahi hunga e titia ana ki TKKM o HWM, ākonga o mua mai, kaiako mai, mātua mai, kaiwhakahaere mai. Koinei tonu te hunga i noho mai hei pūkōrero i te kaupapa nei, inā hoki, ko te whakapae, kāore i tua atu i ngā wheako o te whānau ake o TKKM o HWM hei whakaata i ngā mata tini o Angitu mō te kura ake.
Na, e pai ai te kapohia o ngā kōrero a ngā pūkōrero, otirā, e tutuki ai ngā whāinga o tēnei rangahau, ka ūhia te rangahau nei ki te kahu rangahau e karangangia nei ko ‘He Kahu-kura’; ka whatuhia ngā mātāpono o te rangahau ā-kōrero, te rangahau kaupapa Māori me TAM hei kaupapa (mō te kahu). Ko ngā kupu a ngā pūkōrero hei raukura whakaniko i tēnei kahu rangahau, me te aha, e mārama ana te kitea o ā rātou kupu ake i te roanga ake o ngā kōrero o tēnei tuhinga; kua tuia ki ngā mokamoka katoa o tēnei tuhinga whakapae.
Kua roa nei te KKM, otirā, TKKM o HWM e kōrerohia ana e wai atu rānei, ka mutu, kua kaha perea i ōna wā. Nō reira, tā tēnei kaupapa, he whakahoki mai i te rākau kōrero ki te whānau ake o TKKM o HWM. E ahu atu ana te kura ki tōna toru tekau tau; kua eke te raro kia hoki kōmuri te titiro ki te āhua o tana pakeketanga mai i ngā tau kua pahemo ake nei. Kua tae te wā kia riro mā te kura tonu te kura hei kōrero, me te aha, ko ngā kōrero e whai ake nei tētahi momo whakatinanatanga o tērā whāinga.
Hei ngā upoko tuawhitu, tuawaru anō hoki kitea ai te whakatinanatanga o ngā hua ranea kua puta i TKKM o HWM i ngā tau kua hori ake nei. Otirā, hei te upoko tuaiwa, ko He Kura-kura, takoto ai tā te rangahau nei urupare ki te pātai matua e kimi nei i te āhua o te momo o te raukura kua puta i TKKM o HWM; he kura-hāpainga, he kura-waka, he kura-kōrero, he kura-huna, otirā, he kura-kura
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
Honouring the Voices of the Ancestors - A Personal View of the Effect of Māori Language Immersion Education in Aotearoa-New Zealand
Get PDFMany studies have been undertaken which focus on identifying factors which impact on the participation and achievement of Māori students in post compulsory education and factors contributing to Māori success in tertiary education. (Jefferies, R. 1997; Tiakiwai, S.J. 2001; Nikora, L. W., Levy, M., Henry, J., & Whangapirita, L. 2002; Greenwood, J., & Te Aika, L. 2009), One of the factors identified as an institutional barrier is a lack of recognition of Māori culture and language. This article discusses the importance of university Māori language students being able to write their assignments, dissertations and theses not only in the Māori language, but in their own tribal dialects. Using a case-study approach of the authors’ personal experiences of primary, secondary and tertiary education, the case-study will focus specifically on the place of the authors’ tribal identity and dialect in this process. Dialect will be illustrated through samples of work submitted for the authors BA (Hons) dissertation, MA and PhD. This will also demonstrate the importance of writing in the community language, when conducting research on a topic related to that community, and this will be discussed in terms of reflecting a commitment to the survival of that community language and to increasing the corpus of work being produced in the Māori language.

This case-study, adopting a narrative approach, will demonstrate a positive outcome for both a university and a Māori student when a) the university provides the right pathways, policies and processes to empower Māori students to write in their native tongue; and b) the student has the courage and tenacity to continue writing in the Māori language and in their dialect, as a minority in the institution.</jats:p
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
