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
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
The end of the middle class? The development of the income distribution in Austria and Europe
Get PDFIn letzter Zeit rückte die Entwicklung der Mittelschicht vermehrt in den Fokus der öffentlichen Debatte. Um Fragen bezüglich der Einkommensverteilung in Europa und Österreich zu beantworten, untersucht dieser Beitrag die Entwicklung von drei Einkommensschichten in 20 europäischen Ländern. Dafür wird mithilfe des EU-SILC-Datensatzes die Verteilung der verfügbaren Äquivalenzeinkommen zwischen 2004 und 2012 analysiert. Auf europäischer Ebene wird versucht zu klären, ob Länder desselben Wohlfahrtsstaatsregimes ähnliche Veränderungen in ihrer Einkommensverteilung aufweisen. Auf Länderebene wird die Lage Österreichs vertieft behandelt. Hierbei wird auf die Haushaltszusammensetzung nach Einkommensschichten und die Auswirkungen der Wirtschafts- und Finanzkrise eingegangen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich wohlfahrtsstaatliche Gemeinsamkeiten innerhalb von konservativen, liberalen und postsozialistischen Typen erkennen lassen. In Bezug auf die Mittelschicht kann gezeigt werden, dass sich diese in knapp mehr als der Hälfte der untersuchten Länder vergrößert. Nicht so in Österreich, wo es zu einem Rückgang der Mittelschicht von -4,2 % gekommen ist.Recently, there has been a spate of interest in the hollowing out of the middle class. This paper examines how three different income groups, in particular the middle class, have fared in 20 European countries. The research is based on EU-SILC data starting from 2004 up to 2012 and uses disposable equalized household income. At European level, we aim to identify whether countries belonging to the same welfare state regime develop similarly with regard to their income distribution. At country level, a special interest lies in Austria. Here household structure according to income groups and the consequences of the economic and financial crisis are dealt with. The results indicate that within conservative, liberal and post-socialist welfare state regimes similar developments are observed. The study further shows that in slightly more than half of all analyzed countries the share of middle class households increased. In Austria, however, the middle class decreased by -4,2 %
