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
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
The role of non-verbal communication in the business environment on the example of Japan
No full textKomunikacija je dvosmjeran proces. Glavni elementi koji čine komunikacijski proces uključuju poruku, kanal, primatelja i povratnu informaciju. Nije lak zadatak „dešifrirati“ što osoba zapravo govori ili osjeća u sadašnjem trenutku. Komunikacijski proces odnosi se na kombinaciju onoga što čujete i vidite u trenutnoj situaciji, na temelju čega donosite zaključak. Neverbalna komunikacija razvija povjerenje, dobar odnos i olakšava transparentnost. Pogrešan govor tijela stvara sumnju, napetost i zbunjenost što dovodi do sukoba. Neverbalna komunikacija oduvijek je fascinirala ljudska bića. Neverbalna komunikacija je sveprisutna i utjecajna, ali na mnogo načina neizreciva. Većinu vremena teško ju je opisati i proučavati. Neverbalne komunikacije često je teško biti svjestan u svakodnevnom životu, a ponekad postajemo svjesni tek kada pođe po zlu. Ipak, ljudi imaju opsežno i duboko zajedničko implicitno razumijevanje neverbalne komunikacije. Da to nije slučaj, svakodnevni bi život bio kaotičan. Komunikacija je dakle, u širem smislu, razmjena informacija, proces davanja, prijenosa i primanja informacija. Pojedinci stvaraju ključne dojmove i zaključke o drugim ljudima na temelju neverbalnog ponašanja. Neverbalna komunikacija ima funkciju dopunjavanja verbalnog dijela, zamjene verbalne radnje i ponavljanja rečenog. Ukupnom značenju onoga što govorimo doprinosi svaki izraz lica. Dragocjenost kulture i bogata tradicija upravo su ono što ističe japansku kulturu, te je i danas utjelovljenje podjela na klase uvjetovane porijeklom i društvenim statusom. Važnu ulogu u odgoju djece ima obitelj, koja tradicionalno prenosi ljubaznost u ponašanju s koljena na koljeno. Japan se od većine svjetskih zemalja razlikuje po neverbalnoj komunikaciji, gdje su te razlike najizraženije u privatnom i poslovnom okruženju. Ovaj će rad detaljnije predstaviti najčešće oblike neverbalne komunikacije i način primjene u poslovnom okruženju Japana.Communication is a two-way process. The main elements that make up the communication process include message, channel, receiver and feedback. It is not an easy task to "decipher" what a person is actually saying or feeling at the present moment. The communication process refers to the combination of what you hear and see in the current situation, on the basis of which you draw a conclusion. Non-verbal communication develops trust, good relationship and facilitates transparency. Wrong body language creates suspicion, tension and confusion leading to conflict. Non-verbal communication has always fascinated human beings. Non-verbal communication is ubiquitous and influential, but in many ways ineffable. Most of the time, it is difficult to describe and study. Non-verbal communication is often difficult to be aware of in everyday life, and sometimes we only become aware when it goes wrong. Yet people have an extensive and deeply shared implicit understanding of nonverbal communication. If this were not the case, everyday life would be chaotic. Communication is therefore, in a broader sense, the exchange of information, the process of giving, transmitting and receiving information. Individuals form key impressions and inferences about other people based on nonverbal behavior. Non-verbal communication has the function of supplementing the verbal part, replacing the verbal action and repeating what was said. Every facial expression contributes to the overall meaning of what we say. The preciousness of culture and rich tradition are precisely what highlight Japanese culture, and even today it is the embodiment of the division into classes determined by origin and social status. An important role in raising children is played by the family, which traditionally transmits kindness in behavior from generation to generation. Japan differs from most countries in the world in terms of non-verbal communication, where these differences are most pronounced in private and business environments. This paper will present in more detail the most common forms of non-verbal communication and how it is applied in the business environment of Japan
