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
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
Gestión Ambiental en la Planta de Derivados Lácteos Colanta San Pedro
No full textLa Universidad del Magdalena en miras de la formación integral del estudiante como pilar fundamental en su desarrollo académico, exige a todo su estudiantado un periodo de prácticas profesionales con duración de un semestre académico de 6 meses, debido a que le permite al estudiante universitario interactuar de manera directa con la sociedad y con las organizaciones públicas o privadas. El objetivo primordial de la práctica profesional es que el estudiante aplique en la realidad laboral los conocimientos, habilidades y destrezas adquiridas a lo largo de su preparación y formación profesional. Entre las distintas modalidades de práctica profesional que ofrece la Universidad del Magdalena, se escogió la modalidad de Vinculación Laboral con una Organización y con el fin de cumplir dicho requisito, se tuvo la oportunidad de realizar el periodo de prácticas en la Cooperativa COLANTA, en la Planta de Derivados Lácteos ubicada en el Municipio de San Pedro de los Milagros en el departamento de Antioquia. Más adelante en el presente informe se especificarán cada una de las actividades desarrolladas durante el periodo de prácticas y se detallarán cada uno de los aspectos relevantes durante esta etapa
Metodología para la estimación de coeficiente de dispersión longitudinal en el río Magdalena a partir de ADCP
Full text linkEn la modelación computacional de las condiciones de calidad del agua en sistemas hídricos como ríos o arroyos suele utilizarse la ecuación de advección-dispersión-reacción que requiere parámetros como velocidad, coeficiente de dispersión y tasas de decaimiento o producción. Por lo anterior, el problema que se aborda en esta investigación es la estimación del coeficiente de dispersión longitudinal mediante una metodología alternativa, el método de Fischer, el cual consiste en la estimación del coeficiente (E) con base a una caracterización hidrodinámica detallada adquirida mediante mediciones de un perfilador de corriente acústico Doppler (ADCP) aplicada sobre cuatro estaciones limnimétricas del IDEAM en el río Magdalena. Se propone el Método de Fischer y se comparan los resultados con metodologías como ensayos de trazadores que por sus complejidad y alto costo suelen ser aplicados de manera muy limitada en la cuenca baja del río Magdalena y con cinco ecuaciones empíricas de diferentes autores, encontrando gran variabilidad en los resultados. El método de Fischer es una alternativa promisoria para el río Magdalena, para estimar el coeficiente de dispersión longitudinal (E) de manera sencilla y confiable, debido a que los resultados obtenidos presentaron optima correspondencia en orden de magnitud con estimaciones realizadas en ríos con similares características al río Magdalena
