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
THEOLOGICAL AND PROSECUTORIAL JUDGMENTS AND DEMENTIA
No full textThe objective of the study was to compare the ways in which young people, older people, and older people with dementia cognitively integrated three factors (intention, consequence, and apology) when making prosecutorial judgments (prosecution and revenge) and theological judgments (resentment and reconciliation). The study used an experimental design. The participants were 34 young people (Mage = 22.12, SD = 3.44), 36 older people (Mage = 66.03, SD = 10.21), and 18 older people with dementia (Mage = 75, SD = 10.06). For each moral judgment, the participants were confronted with 12 scenarios built from the combination of the three factors. A set of analyses of variance (ANOVAs) with repeated measures were performed on data. Whatever the judgment, older people with dementia differed from young people and older people with regard to the number of factors considered. Young and older participants used the three information cues (intent, consequence, and apologies) for the four judgment tasks (prosecution, revenge, reconciliation, and resentment) while older people with dementia gave greater weight to intention. In contrast to young and older people, older people with dementia processed prosecutorial judgments and theological judgments in the same manner. The cognitive impairment does not allow older people with dementia to differentiate moral judgments into two categories. Dementia has a negative influence on process of information integration in moral judgment. This may be useful for clinical practice – caregivers
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
Processus d'intégration d'informations chez les adultes âgés atteints de démence : jugement moral et effet de l'Activité Physique Adaptée sur le jugement de réussite
No full textThis doctoral work focused on the information integration processes of older adults with dementia living in institutions. Its objectives were to study the processes of integrating information into judgment tasks and to identify the influence of Adapted Physical Activity (APA) on these judgment processes in this population. This research has two axes: the first axis is composed of four studies conducted to estimate the impact of dementia on the integration of information during moral judgments (blame, forgiveness, pursuit, revenge, resentment, and reconciliation). The second axis includes a fifth study consisting of a ball throwing program to explore the effect of an APA on the information integration processes involved in judgments of the success of throwing a ball into a target. All five studies used Anderson's Information Integration Theory (1996, 2008, 2019).Study 1 showed that older adults with dementia did not combine Intention and Consequence information in the same way as healthy young adults and healthy older adults in judgmental blame and forgiveness tasks. Older adults with dementia considered at best two of the three pieces of information presented in the scenarios (Intent, Consequences, and Excuses) to make their judgments in Study 2, while healthy young adults and healthy older adults did not. Study 3 confirmed differences in integrative processes between healthy adults (young adults and older adults) and older adults with dementia in other types of moral judgment (pursuit, revenge, resentment, and reconciliation). Study 4 highlighted stability, over 15 months, in the processes of integrating information from judgments of blame and forgiveness in older adults with dementia. Study 5 testified that a regular APA modified the way of taking into account the information to make a judgment of success of a ball throw in a target.This research confirmed the impact of dementia on information integration processes. The practice of an APA would be beneficial for cognitive functions such as judgment processes.Le présent travail doctoral s’est intéressé aux processus d’intégration d’informations chez des adultes âgés atteints de démence vivant en institution. Il a eu pour objectifs d’étudier les processus d’intégration d’informations dans des tâches de jugement et d’identifier l’influence d’une Activité Physique Adaptée (APA) sur ces processus de jugement chez cette population. Cette recherche comporte deux axes : le premier axe est composé de quatre études menées pour estimer l’impact de la démence sur l’intégration d’informations au cours de jugements moraux (blâme, pardon, poursuite, vengeance, ressentiment et réconciliation). Le deuxième axe comprend une cinquième étude constituée d’un programme de lancer de balle pour explorer l’effet d’une APA sur les processus d’intégration d’informations impliqués dans les jugements de réussite de lancer de balle dans une cible. Les cinq études ont utilisé la Théorie de l’Intégration de l’Information d’Anderson (1996, 2008, 2019). L’étude 1 a montré que des adultes âgés atteints de démence ne combinaient pas les informations Intention et Conséquences de la même manière que des jeunes adultes sains et des adultes âgés sains dans des tâches de jugement de blâme et de pardon. Les adultes âgés atteints de démence ont pris en considération deux informations au mieux sur les trois présentées dans les scénarii (Intention, Conséquences, et Excuses) pour établir leurs jugements dans l’étude 2, contrairement aux jeunes adultes sains et aux adultes âgés sains. L’étude 3 a confirmé les différences de processus d’intégration entre les adultes sains (jeunes adultes et adultes âgés) et les adultes âgés atteints de démence dans d’autres types de jugement moraux (poursuite, vengeance, ressentiment et réconciliation). L’étude 4 a mis en avant une stabilité, durant 15 mois, dans les processus d’intégration d’informations issus des jugements de blâme et de pardon chez les adultes âgés atteints de démence. L’étude 5 a témoigné qu’une APA régulière modifiait la manière de prendre en compte les informations pour effectuer un jugement de réussite d’un lancer de balle dans une cible.La présente recherche a confirmé l’impact de la démence sur les processus d’intégration d’informations. La pratique d’une APA serait bénéfique pour les fonctions cognitives telles que les processus de jugements
