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
La construcción social del miedo y la representación mediática de los migrantes.
Get PDFEl objetivo de este artículo científico es el análisis teórico-sociológico de la construcción social del miedo en la sociedad moderna y el impacto que esta construcción ha tenido en la creación de representaciones mediáticas y sociales de las personas migrantes en las sociedades europeas actuales.
Desde principios del siglo XX, la construcción del Estado-nación moderno, entendido como un Estado en el que la identidad nacional se fundamenta en los rasgos culturales, lingüísticos y sociales que unen a todo un pueblo, hizo surgir un sentimiento, el del miedo, hacia todo lo que se consideraba fuera de la identidad nacional. El extranjero, el Otro, ha sido objeto de estudio en el pensamiento sociológico clásico desde Schütz hasta Simmel, estudiosos que elaboraron los conceptos de exclusión/inclusión en un grupo social. Estos análisis clásicos se extienden hasta nuestros días, en los que la figura del extranjero engloba sobre todo a los emigrantes, los refugiados, los llamados forasteros que a menudo forman parte de las minorías étnicas que residen en el territorio de un Estado.
La llegada de la globalización ha traído consigo una alteración de la frontera nacional y, con ella, también de la "identidad nacional". La narración mediática de los fenómenos migratorios ha contribuido a crear representaciones sociales que suelen ir acompañadas de sentimientos de preocupación y miedo. Las representaciones pueden alimentar una visión distorsionada de la realidad en la que no hay una verdadera separación entre la percepción y los hechos.
En la sociedad contemporánea, la aparición de nuevas comunidades globales interconectadas ha dado lugar a la difusión de contranarrativas mediáticas, portadoras de nuevos significados culturales simbólicos que perfilan nuevas formas de socialización y la llamada identidad social híbrida.The aim of this scientific article is the theoretical-sociological analysis of the social construction of fear in modern society and the impact that this construction has had on the creation of media and social representations of migrants in today’s European societies. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the construction of the modern nation-state, understood as a state in which national identity is based on the cultural, linguistic and social traits that unite an entire people, gave rise to a feeling of fear towards everything that was considered to be outside the national identity. The foreigner, the Other, has been the subject of study in classical sociological thought from Schütz to Simmel, scholars who elaborated the concepts of exclusion/inclusion in a social group. These classical analyses extend to the present day, where the figure of the foreigner encompasses above all migrants, refugees, the so-called outsiders who are often part of ethnic minorities residing in the territory of a state.The advent of globalisation has brought with it an alteration of the national border and, with it, also of «national identity». The media narrative of migration phenomena has contributed to the creation of social representations that are often accompanied by feelings of concern and fear. Representations can feed a distorted view of reality in which there is no real separation between perception and fact. In contemporary society, the emergence of new interconnected global communities has led to the spread of media counter-narratives, carrying new symbolic cultural meanings that shape new forms of socialisation and so-called hybrid social identity
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
