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
Práticas feministas em torno do direito ao aborto na Argentina: : aproximações às ações coletivas das Socorristas en Red
Get PDFIn Argentina abortion is not punishable only if the pregnancy is the result a rape or if it endangers the life of the pregnant woman. In any other case than those aforementioned it is considered a crime against life according to the Penal Code. However if a woman gets pregnant without wanting it, she will look for different ways to terminate her pregnancy. Since 1980 the feminist and women’s movement organizes groups and alliances in order to reclaim the legalization of abortion. In this article, I will go into some experiences that have pushed forward the National Campaign for the Legalization of Safe Abortion for Free (Campaña Nacional por el Derecho al Aborto Legal, Seguro y Gratuito). Finally, I will focus on new and original collective actions on abortion and the setting of the organization “Socorristas en Red (Feministas que abortamos)”.O aborto na Argentina é uma prática tipificada pelo código penal como crime contra a vida, ainda que existam duas exceções não puníveis: quando a gravidez é resultado de um estupro ou quando pressupõe um risco para a saúde da mulher e não pode ser evitado por outros meios. Apesar disso, quando uma mulher engravida e não deseja a gestação recorre à diferentes mecanismos para interromper o processo gestacional. Assim, desde a década de 1980, na Argentina, o movimento feminista e de mulheres têm se organizado de diferentes formas e formado grupos e coalizões diversas para reivindicar o aborto legal. Neste artigo proponho traçar um caminho sobre algumas dessas experiências de articulação que nutrem a existência da Campanha Nacional pelo Direito ao Aborto Legal, Seguro e Gratuito. Finalmente, me interessa particularizar, uma forma inovadora de organização de ações coletivas em relação ao aborto, o surgimento das Socorristas em Rede (Feministas que abortamos)
O ESTADO DE EXCEÇÃO EM GIORGIO AGAMBEN E O CONTROLE BIOPOLÍTICO SOBRE OS CORPOS FEMININOS: A REALIDADE DA DISTOPIA “O CONTO DA AIA” NA VIDA DAS MULHERES BRASILEIRAS
Get PDFA pesquisa analisa aspectos da obra O conto da Aia, de Margaret Atwood, a fim de compreender de que modo muitos de seus acontecimentos já são vivenciados, especialmente por mulheres no contexto brasileiro atual. Parte da hipótese de que, enquanto na distópica Gilead é necessário um golpe de estado e a instituição de um estado de exceção ditatorial, como crucial para o desencadeamento dos fatos narrados, na realidade brasileira, onde o estado de exceção habita permanentemente o seio democrático, tal como na obra de Giorgio Agamben, a violência biopolítica sobre determinados corpos femininos é uma realidade, demonstra Rita Segato. Portanto, na primeira parte desvelam-se os conceitos de biopolítica e estado de exceção em Agamben e, violência contra as mulheres em Rita Segato, para no segundo, demonstrar a conexão entre acontecimentos da obra, e a vida cotidiana das mulheres brasileiras. Ao final, a obra pode ajudar a refletir criticamente uma nação com base democrática aparentemente consolidada, que carrega na dimensão do radicalismo e do fundamentalismo em suas próprias fissuras, sujeitas a ascenderem e tolherem as liberdades de todos os sujeitos à mercê do poder soberano. O método da pesquisa é fenomenológico, visando uma revisão bibliográfica com interpretação de conceitos pela linguagem
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
