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
Architecture of Childhood
Get PDFDear reader, this is my diploma work.
Places of childhood that are dear to me. Places that I still keep in my memory and that still today architecturally have a sound impact on me and that I consult in my imagination over and over again when I am engaging with architecture. I wanted to revisit the places and find ways to recreate them. These places are full of memories
and objects that connect to me, and also to people that are dear to me. In my diploma I attempt to find ways to collect objects that are charged documents, meaning they are meaningful to me, they are connected to places and to people. And by bringing them to Oslo I wanted to see if I can make them into architecture that responds
with the very memory of those architectures, of those hidden places of childhood. In this book I show both the nine architectures of childhood that I
have revisited and how I recreated them. In the appendix I show the materials and objects that those important objects are connected to.
"Direct your eye-sight inward, and you’ll find a thousand regions in your mind yet undiscover’d. Travell them, and be expert in home Cosmographie
William Habington (1605-1664)"
I have always been intrigued by small objects. Since I was a little child I’ve been collecting these strange little things that suddenly
just ended up in my pocket and were brought home to my room, to my hiding places or into my little cabin in the trees in the forest. I remember
that I really loved to move them around and to place them beside other things. I made a home for my most precious objects
in a blue assortment frame, that hung over my bed. I watched over them every night. It was my objects and me against the world.
These memories around those important objects were dear to me as a child. That’s why I thought it was interesting to discover
what they could do with me as an adult and how I could engage with them. To go on different paths to find out more about how
my body acts with the circumstances in life. How that helps me to create a collection by collecting and by the finding of an essence
of a memory and space. I went back to my nine most important places from childhood. Where I could be able to remember these
memories more fully and also collect objects. Sometimes I brought with me new different objects that could help me in the process.
And then I brought the collected things back to my table in Oslo where I built them together in different groups to create with them.
I tried to put me as a child and me as an adult together in these groups. It’s basically about claiming something or claiming a place
with objects. During this process different scales started to accord on my table. It started to be a playful table. The things I collected,
the things I found, the things I made and things that are important to me as an adult and were important to me as a child were now
playing together. The ongoing process with the different objects gave me a more architectural awareness of what was happening
with the groups and what the objects’ relations were. By finding back to the haptic perception in my objects, by them performing
something new on the table, I think it started to be possible for the viewers to sense and explore how charged the objects are. How
the groups together can form this childhood architecture that is important to me. I believe that the different processes in this story
are important for the perception of the rooms that have been created by the objects. By moving something that is so charged for
me from one of my important childhood places, may be strange and naive, but by doing so I can show others the story. How I
carefully developed this with the objects so that they can create something with something to improve the feeling of my haptic
story and my childhood architecture.
I am looking for the trust formative fact in the objects, the narrative that they are based on. To define a content so that the story can continue. Many of the exercises that I have done are pointing in that way. The groups are like a village in a bigger village, or a house in a bigger house. I felt they needed a name that was reflecting my previous objects. So, the names could have a bigger meaning and could draw an even thicker line to me and my past. By doing that, giving them new names, I see them now as larger pieces in my mind, created with my mnemonic tool. At one point I tried to bring the groups away from the table to new locations at Grunerløkka. The groups play differently when you put them into a new context. It is not something I felt was the core of the project, but you can see the work in the appendix. This diploma is a way of seeing architecture from a different angle. To have active and charged objects that are important to me. To work with something that has a meaning for me, a history in
themselves and within me. I believe this is an ongoing story that will continue for me after this diploma and probably for the rest of my life. This type of process is so strongly intact with me and my body, and how this leads me to something architectural is important for me and my path into this profession. The work has also been about being a bit naive and being able to work in a playful way. Like children do. So that the rebuilt memories were able to rebuild architecture. This felt like something that could be a dwelling and is a kind of architecture that reflects my childhood. A safe place and maybe a place for my future child? A place with joy, love and hugs.

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
