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
РАСПРОСТРАНЕНИЕ НАИБОЛЕЕ ОПАСНЫХ ЗООНОЗОВ В УРБАНИЗИРОВАННЫХ ЭКОСИСТЕМАХ
No full textProtecting urbanized ecosystems from invasive material ingress is one of the acute problems of urbanized ecosystems. The article deals with the problems of the distribution of the most dangerous zoonoses in the Kirov region, which are transmitted by synanthropic rodents.Охрана урбанизированных экосистем от попадания инвазионного материала, является одной из острых проблем урбанизированных экосистем. В статье рассмотрены проблемы распространения наиболее опасных зоонозов в Кировской области, которые передаются синантропными грызунами
ПРОБЛЕМЫ ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЯ ЭКОЛОГИЧЕСКОЙ ЭКСПЕРТИЗЫ

The purpose of this article is to consider the current actual problematic issues of legislative regulation of the institution of environmental expertise. The revealed: the lack of systematic, there is no clear definition of the objects of examination, not the uniqueness of the level of expertise on them. When writing the work, inductive and deductive methods were used, general scientific and theoretical methods. The main contradictions between the measures of state and public examination are revealed. The problems arising during the latter are emphasized: temporary losses, financial costs, procedural shortcomings, ambiguity in assessing the professionalism of experts. Conclusions can be applied to improve the legal regulation of environmental expertise.Предметом исследования выступают нормы российского экологического законодательства, регулирующего вопросы проведения экологической экспертизы. Целью настоящей статьи является рассмотрение существующих актуальных проблемных моментов законодательного регулирования института экологической экспертизы. Выявлено: отсутствие системности, четкого определения объектов экспертизы, неоднозначность уровня экспертизы по ним. При написании работы применялись индуктивные и дедуктивные, общенаучные и теоретические методы. Раскрыты основные противоречия между мерами осуществления государственной и общественной экспертизы.

ЭКОЛОГО-ФАУНИСТИЧЕСКИЙ АНАЛИЗ ГЕЛЬМИНТОФАУНЫ МИКРОМАММАЛИЙ СЕЛИТЕБНЫХ ТЕРРИТОРИЙ КИРОВСКОЙ ОБЛАСТИ
No full textЭколого-фаунистический анализ гельминтофауны грызунов селитебных территорий Кировской области показал, что наибольшее число гельминтов зарегистрировано у обыкновенной полевки (9 из 20), как инвазивного вида, наименьшее у белки (1), ондатры (2) и синантропных грызунов (3). По числу видов доминируют нематоды – 55%. Наибольшая экстенсивность инвазии выявлена у крысы серой (85,7%) и различных видов полевок (71-75%). К облигатным паразитам относится 80% цестод и 73% нематод

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
