    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    No full text
    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

    TCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio Econômico, Curso de Serviço Social.O presente Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso intitulado, "O Fórum Social do Saco Grande: trajetória e desafios", trata do tema protagonismo da sociedade civil em espaços públicos de participação e controle social, procurando focar, para fins analíticos, o Fórum Social do Saco Grande. Partiu-se do entendimento de que os fóruns populares se caracterizam enquanto espaços públicos de participação e controle social, que respaldam na possibilidade de reinvenção da esfera e espaço público, através ações coletivas da sociedade civil organizada, que em meio as dificuldade vivenciadas não deixam de estar presentes diante do desafio da luta ao direito de acesso a cidade. A construção deste trabalho efetivou-se por meio da observação participante e pesquisas: bibliográfica, documental e empírica. A pesquisa possibilitou o conhecimento da trajetória e dos desafios do Fórum Social do Saco Grande, bem como, a visão de sujeitos envolvidos com este processo. Evidenciou-se com este trabalho a importância de experiências como a do Fórum Social do Saco Grande que perpassam pela criação de espaços públicos de participação e controle social, no qual a sociedade civil parte de questões emergenciais e cotidianas para a luta do direito de acesso a cidade. E no campo profissional é preciso, portanto, avançar rumo a experiências que criem espaços de participação e controle social públicos de fato. Experiências estas, que recuperem as energias criativas, coletivas e políticas destes segmentos da sociedade civil sob a ótica de uma nova institucionalização "por baixo" e por estes sujeitos histórico
