Collaboration in architectural design competitions
No full textThis study investigates design collaboration with reference to convergent and divergent idea generation processes, conceptual, spatial, temporal and technological barriers, and roles and relationships in architectural design teams entering a design competition. Study of design teams offer a unique opportunity to investigate how creativity is fostered through collaborative work. While views of creativity often relate creativity to individual originality, collaboration requires different designers to work together towards one common design idea and consider as many different ideas as possible. In collaborative design, it would be easier to offer a variety of ideas but equally difficult to establish a consensus on a single idea. To investigate the role of convergent and divergent thinking in the design process, first, 30 professional architects, who participated in competitions as a team, were interviewed via phone. Phone interviews were analyzed thematically to investigate how teams came together and how team participants overcame spatial, temporal, conceptual, and technological barriers. Convergent and divergent idea generation phases were analyzed to understand how team participants generate multiple ideas and converge on one single issue. Second, three groups of architecture students, who participated in competitions as a team, were interviewed. Interviews were analyzed thematically to investigate how teams overcame spatial, temporal, conceptual, and technological barriers. It is concluded that barriers and roles of participants in design collaboration interact with convergent and divergent concept generation.

Study of design teams offer a unique opportunity to
investigate how creativity is fostered through collaborative
work. While views of creativity often relate creativity to
individual originality, collaboration requires different
designers to work together towards one common design
idea and consider as many different ideas as possible. In
collaborative design, it would be easier to offer a variety of
ideas but equally difficult to establish a consensus on a
single idea. To investigate the role of convergent and

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

No full textGünümüzde mimari tasarım, analiz ve uygulama süreçlerinin giderek sayısallaşmasıyla
birlikte, önceleri birbirlerinden oldukça ayrık (sezgisel, analitik, sosyal, vb.) safhalar olarak
deneyimlenen üretim ve tüketim süreçlerinin giderek daha kesintisiz ve yekpareleşen
deneyimlere konu olduklarını görmekteyiz. Geleneksel olarak farklı ölçeklere karşılık gelen
farklı tasarım disiplinleri arasındaki kopukluğun sorgulanabildiği ve yer yer önüne
geçilebildiği örneklerin de çoğalmasıyla birlikte, mimari tasarımın sayısal geleceğini her
daim “eksiksiz”, “eksiz”, ama bir o kadar da ucu açık “eskiz” süreçler olarak öngörmekteyiz.
Diğer yandan, “eskiz” nesne ve süreçler, bütünlüğünden ödün vermeden açık kalabilen parçabütün
ilişkilerinin ya da niteliksel kararlar ile niceliksel veriler arasında sürekli gidip
gelebilme deneyiminin sahiciliği ve sürdürülebilirliğine ilişkin endişelerle de yüzleşebilecek
sorgulama ve tartışmaların gerçekleştirilmesini zorunlu kılıyor.

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
