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
HİNDİSTAN, GÜNEY AFRİKA, ALMANYA VE ABD'NİN İKLİM POLİTİKALARININ KARŞILAŞTIRMALI ANALİZİ
No full textClimate change represents one of the most pressing challenges in the modern era, requiring a unified, equitable global response. This dissertation offers a comparative analysis of the climate change approaches employed by four key countries—India, South Africa, Germany, and the United States—each embodying a unique economic, geographical, and political context. This dissertation investigates the similarities and differences in climate finance, technology transfer, and capacity building, and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by reviewing these countries' UNFCCC submissions. The dissertation also investigates the climate-related issues that these nations brought up during UNFCCC negotiations, which took place from COP 1 to COP 28, providing insights into their negotiation positions and strategies for resolving conflicts between national interests and international climate obligations. The findings demonstrate the intricate dynamics of international climate governance, where substantial differences in national priorities, historical responsibilities, and economic capacities influence each country's contributions to global climate action. The thesis highlights that effective climate governance necessitates not only formal approaches of collaboration but also a commitment to resolving power inequalities and underlying systemic challenges that define parties' participation in global climate action. Hence, it is crucial to focus on institutional processes to address both new and existing inequities and maintain the mutually beneficial nature of cooperative frameworks. Consequently, this dissertation compares these four countries comprehensively, enhancing the understanding of obstacles and opportunities in global climate negotiations and underscoring the necessity of customized, adaptive, and collaborative solutions to tackle the climate crisis.İklim değişikliği, modern çağın en acil sorunlarından birini temsil etmekte ve eşitlikçi bir küresel müdahale gerektirmektedir. Bu tez, her biri kendine özgü ekonomik, coğrafi ve siyasi bağlamlara sahip dört önemli ülkenin (Hindistan, Güney Afrika, Almanya ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri) iklim değişikliğine yaklaşımlarının karşılaştırmalı bir analizini sunmaktadır. Bu tez, söz konusu ülkelerin BMİDÇS başvurularını inceleyerek iklim finansmanı, teknoloji transferi ve kapasite geliştirme ile Ulusal Olarak Belirlenmiş Katkılar (NDC'ler) arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıkları araştırmaktadır. Tez aynı zamanda bu ülkelerin COP 1'den COP 28'e kadar gerçekleşen BMİDÇS müzakereleri sırasında gündeme getirdikleri iklimle ilgili konuları araştırarak müzakere pozisyonları ve ulusal çıkarlar ile uluslararası iklim yükümlülükleri arasındaki çatışmaları çözme stratejileri hakkında içgörü sağlamaktadır. Bulgular, ulusal öncelikler, tarihsel sorumluluklar ve ekonomik kapasitelerdeki önemli farklılıkların her ülkenin küresel iklim eylemine katkılarını etkilediği uluslararası iklim yönetişiminin karmaşık dinamiklerini ortaya koymaktadır. Tez, etkili iklim yönetişiminin sadece resmi iş birliği yaklaşımlarını değil, aynı zamanda tarafların küresel iklim eylemine katılımını tanımlayan güç eşitsizliklerini ve altta yatan sistemik zorlukları çözme kararlılığını da gerektirdiğini vurgulamaktadır. Bu nedenle hem yeni hem de mevcut eşitsizlikleri ele almak ve iş birliği çerçevelerinin karşılıklı fayda sağlayan doğasını korumak için kurumsal süreçlere odaklanmak çok önemlidir. Sonuç olarak bu tez, bu dört ülkeyi kapsamlı bir şekilde karşılaştırarak küresel iklim müzakerelerindeki engellerin ve fırsatların anlaşılmasını sağlamakta ve iklim kriziyle mücadele etmek için özelleştirilmiş, uyarlanabilir ve iş birliğine dayalı çözümlerin gerekliliğinin altını çizmektedir.Ph.D. - Doctoral Progra
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
The EU's energy supply security: options for gas supply diversification and the role of Turkey
Get PDFWith the gas disruptions to the European Union in 2006 and 2009 Ukrainian crises, the Community decided to diversify its supply sources and routes, develop energy infrastructure between the member states and increase energy efficiency to strengthen energy security of the Union. The thesis will examine the possibility of nine countries as being an alternative to Russian gas, and it will analyze Turkey's role in transmitting gas from the Caspian, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean regions to Europe. Besides, the energy security of Southeast European countries will be briefly mentioned since it is important for the energy security of the Community. The thesis argues that besides Azeri gas which will be supplied to Europe in the shortrun, Iraq has a potential to supply gas to Europe via pipelines in the medium to long-run. Moreover, Israel, Egypt, and Iran are potential LNG suppliers to the EU in the medium to long-run
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
