Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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

O papel das comunidades econômicas na defesa dos direitos humanos
No full textEste trabalho analisa o desenvolvimento de agendas de direitos humanos em comunidades econômicas regionais (CERs) e seu papel na defesa internacional de direitos humanos. O estudo parte do panorama internacional da segunda metade do séc. XX, com a emergência do regionalismo e o surgimento de comunidades econômicas regionais e de sistemas internacionais de promoção e proteção de direitos humanos, como fenômenos separados. Segue uma análise reflexiva das organizações internacionais de cada um destes fenômenos, distinguindo integração regional de outras formas de regionalismo, com o objetivo de fixar referênciasteórica capazes de distinguir agendas de direitos humanos em comunidades econômicas das agendas de direitos humanos encontradas nos sistemas internacionais de direitos humanos. Justificada a diferença, segue a análise da relação entre comunidades econômicas e direitos humanos na seguinte ordem: relação entre agenda econômica e direitos humanos; relação entre agenda de direitos humanos e agenda econômica; aspectos da jurisdição contenciosa sobre violações de direitos humanos; e diálogo entre comunidade econômica e sistema internacional de proteção. Refletindo sobre os resultados obtidos na investigação, conclui-se que, em razão de incompatibilidade entre as racionalidades econômica e jurídica, particularmente de direitos humanos: (i) os direitos humanos no processo de integração têm o papel de equalização jurídica entre as ordens nacional e comunitária; (ii) há nas CERs conflito de interesses entre direitos humanos e os objetivos políticos da comunidade em razão da diferença entre as racionalidades; e (iii) o standard de referência de direitos humanos deve ser estabelecido em jurisdição não sujeita a racionalidades concorrentesThe present study analyses the development of human rights agendas within regional economic communities (RECs) and the role of such communities in the international protection of human rights. The investigation’s background is the political environment of the international relations in the second half of the 20th century, especially the emergency of regionalism and the rise of regional economic communities and of international human rights systems, as unrelated entities at first. In this context, a reflexive analysis of the underlying organization of both human right systems and economic communities distinguishes regional economic integration from other instances of regionalism, setting theoretical references suited to distinguish human rights agendas adopted by regional economic communities from those pertaining the human rights systems. From such considerations, if follows successive analysisregarding the relation between regional integration and human rights: fist, between the economic agenda and human rights; second, between the human rights agenda and the economic one; third, regarding the jurisdiction to rule on human rights violations; forth, regarding the dialog between a regional economic community and the encompassing human rights system. From the above analysis, the study concludes, as a result of a congenital incompatibility between the economic and the legal systems, the following: (i) human rights acts as a stabilizing interface between the national and the community legal orders; (ii) RECs economics interests will unavoidably clash with human rights provisions; (iii) human rights standards shall be fixed by jurisdiction from legal orders free from competing rationalitie
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
FGV - Impactos do COVID-19: os desafios do ensino no ambiente virtual
No full textQual o papel da sala de aula virtual durante a pandemia? Além de continuar o projeto educacional, é garantir a saúde mental dos alunos. É necessário cuidar de suas angústias, medos e o enfrentamento desse período de isolamento em todas as suas dimensões. Mas, ao mesmo tempo em que se cuida da parte mental dos alunos, tem se trabalhado também uma das habilidades do futuro: a adaptabilidade e a resiliência frente às novas situações. Quem explica melhor o assunto é a professora Marina Feferbaum, da FGV Direito SP. Assista agora no FGV - Impactos do COVID-19
