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
En social hållbar stadskärna : Ett gestaltningsförslag för Sandviken centrum med fokus på grönstruktur, trygghet och fysisk planering
No full textDenna studie utforskar rollen av grön infrastruktur och trygghetsförbättringar för att främja social hållbarhet i urbana miljöer med fokus på Sandviken centrum. Forskningen använder Mäta stad-modellen tillsammans med principerna för Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) för att analysera och föreslå förbättringar i stadslandskapet. Studien syftar till att fastställa den optimala mängden grönområden som krävs för att förbättra invånarnas välbefinnande och den övergripande urbana upplevelsen. Trots vissa begränsningar i metodologin, såsom oförmågan att genomföra observationer under natten och utmaningarna i att analysera resultaten från Mäta stad-modellen, identifierar studien framgångsrikt nyckelfaktorer som bidrar till en känsla av otrygghet och underutnyttjade stadsutrymmen. Genom att integrera insikter från lokala invånare och experter lyfter forskningen fram vikten av strategiskt placerade grönområden och välbelysta, naturligt övervakade offentliga platser för att skapa en säkrare och mer inbjudande urban miljö. Viktiga fynd indikerar att ökad mängd grönområden och förbättrad synlighet genom bättre belysning och tydliga siktlinjer ökar den upplevda tryggheten och sociala interaktionerna i Sandviken Centrum. Studien betonar också nödvändigheten av att involvera samhällsfeedback i planeringsprocessen för att säkerställa att stadsdesignen möter invånarnas olika behov och förväntningar. Slutligen framhäver denna studie sammanhanget mellan grön infrastruktur och trygghetsåtgärder i skapandet av socialt hållbara stadskärnor. Genom att anta en omfattande strategi som kombinerar optimering av grönområden samt CPTED-principer kan stadsplanerare utveckla miljöer som inte bara förbättrar estetiskt och rekreativt värde utan också främjar fysisk och mental hälsa, social sammanhållning men även övergripande säkerhet för alla invånare.This study explores the role of green infrastructure and safety enhancements in promoting social sustainability in urban environments, focusing on Sandviken Centrum. The research utilizes the Mäta stad model alongside Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles to analyse and propose improvements in the urban landscape. The study aims to determine the optimal amount of green spaces necessary to enhance residents' well-being and overall urban experience. Despite some limitations in the methodology, such as the inability to conduct night-time observations and the challenges in analysing the Mäta stad model results, the study successfully identifies key factors contributing to a sense of insecurity and underutilized urban spaces. By integrating insights from local residents and experts, the research highlights the importance of strategically placed green areas and well-lit, more visible public spaces to foster a safer and more inviting urban environment. Key findings indicate that increasing green spaces and enhancing visibility through improved lighting and clear sightlines significantly boost the perceived safety and social interactions in Sandviken Centrum. The study also emphasizes the necessity of involving community feedback in the planning process to ensure that urban design meets the diverse needs and expectations of its inhabitants. Ultimately, this study highlights the association of green infrastructure and safety measures in creating socially sustainable city centres. By adopting a comprehensive approach that combines green space optimization and CPTED principles, urban planners can develop environments that not only enhance aesthetic and recreational value but also promote physical and mental health, social cohesion, and overall safety for all residents.
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

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
