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
La adopción. Una aproximación desde la Antropología del Parentesco (Mónica Tarducci)

¿Abolicionismo o reglamentarismo?: Aportes de la antropología feminista para el debate local sobre la prostitución Abolicionismo ou reglamentarismo?: Contribuições da antropologia feminista para o debate local sobre a prostituição Abolitionism or reglamentarism?: Contributions of Feminist Anthropology to the local debate on prostitution
No full textLa problemática de la prostitución implica una serie de debates respecto de si debe ser reglamentada como trabajo sexual, prohibida y penalizado su ejercicio, o abolida del sistema social. Nuestro país tiene, desde el año 1936, una posición abolicionista que actualmente constituye el discurso hegemónico en el debate sobre la prostitución. La prostitución es problemática en sí misma porque condensa varios significados, porque habla de un diverso mercado sexual en el que diferencias de clase, etnia y género, se conjugan en distintas combinaciones dando lugar a innumerables escenarios. Reconocer la diversidad de situaciones posibles no implica desconocer que las diferencias atribuidas a varones y mujeres pueden transformarse, en cada uno de esos escenarios, en diferencias de poder y desigualdad. Pretendo reflexionar aquí, a partir de una serie de experiencias de trabajo de campo, acerca de las contribuciones que la antropología feminista puede brindar para el debate público respecto de la prostitución.A problemática da prostituição implica em uma série de debates sobre se deve ser regulamentada como trabalho sexual, proibido e penalizado o seu exercício, ou abolido do sistema social.

Our country has, since 1936, an abolitionist position, which constitutes the hegemonic discourse on the debate about prostitution. Prostitution itself is problematic because it condenses several meanings and because it speaks of a vast and diverse sex market in which differences of class, ethnicity and gender come together in different combinations to give rise to countless scenarios. To recognize this diversity doesn't imply ignoring the fact that differences assigned to men and women can be transformed, in each of these scenarios, in power differences and inequalities. Thus, in this paper, and based on a series of fieldwork experiences, I aim to reflect on the ways in which feminist anthropology can contribute to public debate on prostitution
103 Introducción En la Argentina, al igual que en muchos otros países, las primeras denuncias y acciones en contra de la violencia de género fueron realizadas desde organizaciones feministas, las cuales notificaron la violencia contra las mujeres y demand
No full textNeste artigo, baseado em pesquisa etnográfica, são analisadas as moralidades surgidas na tramitação penal das “lesões”, figura na qual se baseiam casos de violência de gênero. Nesses casos, vem à tona tanto uma ética da honra como antecedente de ato violento, dotando-o de uma racionalidade própria, como uma ética de direitos, fundamentada nas ideias de liberdade, igualdade e cidadania. Esses códigos aparecem nas narrativas dos indivíduos simultaneamente, sejam eles integrantes de um casal sejam oficiais de Justiça, e sua imbricação indica a vigência atual das estruturas hierárquicas de gênero. Drawing on ethnographic research, the article Gender and Violence: The Role of Honor in the Judicial Handling of Bodily Injuries investigates the moralities that arise in criminal procedure regarding “bodily harm”, on which notion cases of gender violence are based. These cases bring to light both the ethic of honor as precedent to the violent act, affording it a particular rationality, and an ethic of rights, grounded on the ideas of freedom, equality and citizenship. These codes appear simultaneously in the narratives of the individuals, whether they are members of a couple or court staff, and their embroilment indicated the current force of the hierarchical gender structures.

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
