    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The 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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We 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

    No full text
    We 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

    The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function

    No full text
    This thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

    New contributions to the evaluation of the risk of violence

    Tradicionalmente se requiere a los expertos en salud mental que brinden asesoramiento sobre la peligrosidad de los enfermos mentales que toman contacto con el sistema judicial. El modo de realizar la tarea de evaluación y su conceptualización evolucionó a través del tiempo. De manera oportuna fueron reconocidos errores comunes de la práctica, destacándose la asistematización, las evaluaciones impresionísticas y el desconocimiento de tasas basales. La concep-tualización evolucionó postergando la significación jurídico-política que subyace en los códigos al utilizar la palabra peligrosidad, y optando por un modelo más clínico-epidemiológico centrado en la evaluación del riesgo. En los últimos años se dimensionó el poder predictivo de la psicopatía, se estimaron tasas basales de violencia y tasas de recidiva en prolongados períodos, se produjeron modelos actuariales y esquemas que guían al clínico en su juicio profesional, facilitando la contemplación de información reconocida en la comunidad científica. En el artículo se describe uno de esos instrumentos, la HCR-20, recientemente traducido al castellano. El instrumento evalúa dimensiones históricas (pasadas), clínicas (presentes) y medioambientales (futuras). [Folino JO, Escobar F. Nuevos aportes a la evaluación del riesgo de violenciaMental health experts are traditionally required to provide advice on the dangerousness of mentally ill people who come into contact with the justice system. The way of carrying out the evaluation task and its conceptualization evolved over time. Common errors in practice were recognized in a timely manner, highlighting unsystematization, impressionistic evaluations and lack of knowledge of basal rates. The conceptualization evolved by postponing the legal-political significance that underlies the codes when using the word dangerousness, and opting for a more clinical-epidemiological model focused on risk assessment. In recent years, the predictive power of psychopathy has been measured, baseline rates of violence and recurrence rates over long periods have been estimated, actuarial models and schemes have been produced that guide the clinician in his professional judgment, facilitating the contemplation of information recognized in the scientific community. The article describes one of these instruments, the HCR-20, recently translated into Spanish. The instrument evaluates historical (past), clinical (present) and environmental (future) dimensions.

    The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development on country’s scientific ranking as measured by H-index. Moreover, this study applies ICT development sub-indices including ICT Use, ICT Access and ICT skill to find the distinct effect of these sub-indices on country’s H-index. To this purpose, required data for the panel of 14 Middle East countries over the period 1995 to 2009 is collected. Findings of the current study show that ICT development increases the H-index of the sample countries. The results also indicate that ICT Use and ICT Skill sub-indices positively contribute to higher H-index but the effect of ICT access on country’s H-index is not clear

    Parallel modernities. Notes on artistic modernity in the Southern Cone of Latin America: The case of Paraguay

    No full text
    The author of this article is one of the most important intellectuals in the Latin American artistic scene. Focusing on the particular case of Paraguay, which was governed by the dictatorship of Alfred Stroessner from 1954 until 1989, Escobar traces the modernist impulse in Paraguay and traces its complicated and disturbed relationship with European and North American models and antecedents: Neo-Impressionism, Cubism, Expressionism, Abstraction, and similar. While they reflect the particular political conditions under which the artists worked, the diverse and many-voiced Paraguayan responses also offer an exemplary set of responses that shed light on the development of twentieth-century modernist art and visual culture across the broader South American continent
