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
Bridging horizons: embodied cultural knowledge through the development and presentation of ethio-modern dance
No full textThis practice-led research explores Ethio-Modern Dance as a movement concept and as a
medium for cultural knowledge exchange. By using artistic practice as the primary method
of investigation the author analyses the development and presentation of two major Ethio-Modern Dance choreographic works, የቡና ዓለም YeBuna Alem/A Coffee World (2015) and
Common Threads (2016).
This thesis is comprised of five chapters in which the research is situated. It includes
qualitative research and illuminates the methodologies, theoretical underpinnings, and
conceptual understandings of the author’s artistic practice. Ethio-Modern Dance, a concept
put forth by the author, is an exploration into the promotion of embodied Ethiopian and other
world dance cultures. It is presented through the lens of a Western urban contemporary
dance artist and lifist, the latter stemming from the author’s philosophy on valued aesthetics
referred to as Lifism. Other theoretical concepts explored in this thesis are embodiment, ‘the
self’, metaphor, the soma, and ritual.
This thesis is accompanied by audio/visual recordings of the author’s two major Ethio-Modern Dance choreographic works, which are analysed in separate chapters in relation to
the central research questions of the investigation: What is my understanding of Ethio-
Modern Dance? What is the importance of Ethio-Modern Dance to me? And, Can Ethio-Modern Dance be used as a medium for embodied cultural knowledge exchange by the
performance participants in my two major choreographic works at the University of
Limerick, Ireland and in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia? This research employs various methods of
investigation including, but not limited to, artistic practice, forms of autoethnographic
writing, personal journaling, narrative enquiry, literature review, and internet-based
resources in order to compile qualitative data that will assist in the analysis of the two major
choreographed works. The analysis of these choreographed works also examines the
abovementioned concepts and their roles within in the creative processes and performances
of these works.
This thesis incorporates the perspectives of the various participants in order to illustrate their
embodied cultural knowledge as well as the impact of these bodies of choreographic works
on the dance communities in which they were presented. As a result of this practice-led
research and choreographic analysis, the author gains a deeper sense of himself as an artist
and lifsit, and also refines his understanding of Ethio-Modern Dance as a concept while
exemplifing ways in which it can be used as a medium for cultural knowledge exchange.
This thesis is the foundation of the author’s ongoing investigation into his embodied
understanding of Ethio-Modern Dance as a concept and illustrates the important contribution
this research makes to the field of arts practice-led studies
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
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
