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
Prevención del bullying a través del proyecto trasgressione
Full text linkEn el contexto social actual, el término bullying, en comparación con años atrás, se ha convertido en un término de uso frecuente, lo cual ha podido llegar a generar cierta superficialidad e insensibilidad al evaluar los hechos. Cada vez que aparece un nuevo video en Internet, o se publican noticias sobre acciones atroces realizadas por menores contra sus pares, por un momento nos despertamos y solo entonces nos preguntamos cuáles son las razones de tanta violencia. Por otra parte, son frecuentes los mitos que giran alrededor del bullying y que no facilitan una intervención eficaz, como las declaraciones nostálgicas del tipo “los jóvenes ya no son lo que eran”. De esta manera, se subestiman las causas y orígenes del problema. También desde algunos centros educativos se afirma que el acoso no es demasiado frecuente o que es inofensivo o algunas familias tienden a decir frases como que “es cosa de niños/as”. No obstante, también es bueno señalar la otra cara de la moneda que nos muestra que, a pesar de que el acoso escolar está subestimado y muy extendido, hay profesionales con la motivación suficiente para cooperar con el fin de frenar el fenómeno y alumnado que está dispuesto a mostrar su solidaridad y comprensión hacia los compañeros y las compañeras en dificultades. Así pues, el estudio presentado pretende enfocarse desde esta mirada más positiva y ofrecer una contribución concreta, aunque modesta, al conocimiento de la calidad de las relaciones escolares y de los fenómenos de acoso escolar, basándonos en una estrategia que consideramos innovadora que contempla la colaboración activa del llamado “Grupo Transgresión”, que participa en Milán y que está formado por profesionales especializados, estudiantes y personas que se encuentran en prisión.
En concreto, el objetivo general de esta tesis es estudiar en profundidad un programa de prevención del acoso escolar entre adolescentes con la colaboración y participación de reclusos y ex reclusos que forman parte de dicho grupo. En esta línea, los objetivos específicos son:
• Configurar el marco teórico del estudio, con la finalidad de esclarecer una serie de conceptos y de perspectivas que han guiado el proceso de investigación.
• Realizar un análisis global inicial para detectar las principales dificultades y la situación del alumnado objeto de estudio respecto a la violencia y a los comportamientos relacionados con el acoso escolar.
• Comprobar la idoneidad del programa diseñado a través de los escritos realizados por el alumnado tras sus encuentros con los reclusos que participaron en esta investigación.
En concreto, se pretenden analizar los efectos del programa con 80 estudiantes del Centro Professionale Pia Marta de Milán y, si bien se trata de una investigación limitada a un contexto, es posible que sus resultados puedan animar a desarrollar experiencias similares en otros espacios.
Para el logro de nuestros propósitos, se estructura el trabajo en dos grandes bloques. El primero de ellos consta de cuatro capítulos que proporcionan la base teórica de la investigación, esbozando un panorama lo más completo y exhaustivo posible de la temática objeto de estudio, así como algunas posibilidades de intervención a través de diferentes estrategias educativas. En el segundo bloque, nos encontramos con los capítulos quinto, sexto y séptimo, en donde se presenta y describe en detalle el plan de investigación diseñado y los resultados obtenidos a partir de la intervención. Finalmente, se exponen las conclusiones y discusión de la tesis.
De manera específica, se ofrece a continuación el objetivo de cada uno de los capítulos:
CAPITULO I. Se pretende examinar la convivencia escolar como reto educativo, haciendo referencia a la escuela como espacio idóneo para mejorarla y describiendo algunos problemas más frecuentes con los que nos encontramos.
CAPÍTULO II. Se busca profundizar sobre el bullying, ofreciendo una aproximación conceptual, tipos, efectos influyentes y el perfil jurídico en el contexto italiano.
CAPÍTULO III. Nos centramos en algunas de las principales investigaciones desarrolladas a nivel internacional sobre el bullying, así como en investigaciones concretas llevadas a cabo en el contexto italiano.
CAPÍTULO IV. Nos detenemos en iniciativas de intervención, así como en algunas estrategias más concretas.
CAPÍTULO V. En este capítulo se aborda el estudio de campo. Se definen en él los objetivos de la Tesis Doctoral, así como la metodología de la investigación. Se describen las características, objetivos y principales actividades del Gruppo della Trasgressione. También se describe el contexto específico de la intervención, la muestra que ha participado en el estudio de campo y los instrumentos de recogida de información. Se detalla el Proyecto Trasgressione y se explica el procedimiento y análisis de resultados.
CAPÍTULO VI. Este capítulo se ocupa de exponer los resultados del estudio de campo realizado. En primer lugar, se detalla la información recabada y analizada derivada de los foros de discusión con los adolescentes, explicando cada una de las categorías trabajadas (libertad, ira, relación padre-hijo, dependencias, elecciones y microelecciones). Posteriormente, se realiza un análisis de las entrevistas realizadas con los reclusos y ex reclusos a través del análisis fenomenológico interpretativo (IPA) (Smith, 1996).
CAPÍTULO VII. Se presentan las conclusiones finales de la Tesis Doctoral, donde se aborda una revisión de las aportaciones más importantes que se han constatado a través de la realización del estudio de campo desarrollado, así como las limitaciones y futuras líneas de investigación.
La reflexión sobre los resultados permitirá ver cómo la propuesta presentada puede influir de manera efectiva y positiva en el fomento de valores y competencias sociales que, en definitiva, pueden mejorar las relaciones interpersonales y prevenir el acoso escolar. Al mismo tiempo, la confrontación activa, la reflexión, el testimonio de la propia experiencia, la toma de conciencia de los propios actos y la consiguiente asunción de responsabilidad permiten la reconstrucción de un ciudadano que, una vez fuera de la cárcel, puede contribuir realmente a evitar cualquier conducta y acción desajustada en la sociedad. Si bien es cierto que en nuestra intervención solo se estudia un contexto específico, estamos convencidas de que esta investigación puede abrir nuevas perspectivas de estudio que pueden desarrollarse en el futuro con miras a la aplicación de proyectos similares en diferentes contextos educativos.In today's social context, the term bullying, compared to years ago, has become a frequently used term. has become a frequently used term, which may have led to a certain superficiality and insensitivity when assessing the facts. insensitivity when assessing the facts.

In this way, the causes and origins of the problem are underestimated. Also Some schools claim that bullying is not very frequent or that it is harmless, or that some families tend to
Some families tend to say phrases such as "it's a child's thing". However, it is also good to point out the other side of the coin which shows that, despite the fact that bullying is underestimated and widespread, there are professionals who are motivated enough to co-operate in order to help the problem.
There are also students who are willing to show solidarity and understanding towards their peers in difficulty.
Therefore, the study presented here aims to approach it from this more positive point of view and to offer a concrete, albeit modest, contribution to the knowledge of the quality of school relationships and the phenomena of bullying, based on a strategy that we consider innovative, which involves the active collaboration of the so-called "Transgression Group", which participates in Milan and which is made up of specialised professionals, students and people who are in prison.
Specifically, the general objective of this thesis is to study in depth a bullying prevention programme among adolescents with the collaboration and participation of prisoners and ex-prisoners who are part of this group. In this line, the specific objectives are:
- To set up the theoretical framework of the study, with the aim of clarifying a series of concepts and perspectives that have guided the research process.
- To carry out an initial global analysis in order to detect the main difficulties and the situation of the students under study with respect to violence and bullying-related behaviour.
- To check the suitability of the programme designed through the writings made by the pupils after their encounters with the inmates who participated in this research.
- To carry out an initial global analysis to detect the main difficulties and the situation of the pupils under study with regard to violence and bullying-related behaviour.
- To verify the suitability of the programme designed through the writings made by the students after their encounters with the inmates who participated in this research.
Specifically, we intend to analyse the effects of the programme with 80 students from the Centro Professionale Pia Marta in Milan and, although this research is limited to one context, it is possible that its results may encourage the development of similar experiences in other spaces.
In order to achieve our aims, the work is structured in two main blocks. The first of these consists of four chapters that provide the theoretical basis of the research, outlining as complete and exhaustive an overview as possible of the subject under study, as well as some possibilities for intervention through different educational strategies. In the second section, we find the fifth, sixth and seventh chapters, where the research plan designed and the results obtained from the intervention are presented and described in detail. Finally, the conclusions and discussion of the thesis are presented.
Specifically, the objective of each of the chapters is given below:
CHAPTER I. The aim is to examine school coexistence as an educational challenge, making reference to the school as the ideal place to improve it and describing some of the most frequent problems we encounter.
CHAPTER II. The aim is to go deeper into bullying, offering a conceptual approach, types, influential effects and the legal profile in the Italian context.
CHAPTER III. We focus on some of the main researches developed at international level on bullying, as well as on specific researches carried out in the Italian context.
CHAPTER IV. We dwell on intervention initiatives, as well as on some more concrete strategies.
CHAPTER V. This chapter deals with the field study. It defines the objectives of the doctoral thesis, as well as the research methodology. It describes the characteristics, objectives and main activities of the Gruppo della Trasgressione. It also describes the specific context of the intervention, the sample that participated in the field study and the data collection instruments. The Trasgressione Project is detailed and the procedure and analysis of the results are explained.
CHAPTER VI. This chapter deals with the results of the field study carried out. Firstly, the information collected and analysed from the discussion forums with the adolescents is detailed, explaining each of the categories worked on (freedom, anger, parent-child relationship, dependencies, choices and micro-choices). Subsequently, an analysis of the interviews conducted with inmates and former inmates is carried out through interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) (Smith, 1996).
CHAPTER VII. The final conclusions of the Doctoral Thesis are presented, where a review of the most important contributions that have been found through the field study carried out, as well as the limitations and future lines of research are addressed.
Reflection on the results will allow us to see how the proposal presented can have an effective and positive influence on the promotion of values and social competences which, in short, can improve interpersonal relationships and prevent bullying. At the same time, active confrontation, reflection, the testimony of one's own experience, the awareness of one's own actions and the consequent assumption of responsibility allow the reconstruction of a citizen who, once out of prison, can really contribute to avoid any maladjusted behaviour and actions in society. While it is true that our intervention only studies a specific context, we are convinced that this research can open up new perspectives of study that can be developed in the future with a view to the implementation of similar projects in different educational contexts.

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

Formación del profesorado en la atención al alumnado de alta capacidad. Estudio en la Comunidad Valenciana
Full text linkLa respuesta educativa al alumnado de alta capacidad continúa siendo una asignatura pendiente para el sistema educativo. Una de las principales barreras para este cometido es la falta de formación del profesorado. El objetivo de la investigación es analizar la formación inicial y continua del profesorado para conocer si se consideran preparados a la hora de ofrecer una respuesta educativa de calidad a este alumnado. La hipótesis general es que, el profesorado de la Comunidad Valenciana, actualmente, no ha recibido una formación suficiente para dar una respuesta educativa adecuada al alumnado de alta capacidad. Más concretamente, los objetivos que se plantean son analizar la formación inicial y permanente del profesorado de la Comunidad Valenciana de acuerdo con sus percepciones y comprobar la relación existente entre dichas percepciones y determinadas variables sociodemográficas (edad, etapa educativa, tipo de centro y tiempo trabajado). El estudio se ha llevado a cabo a partir de un cuestionario elaborado "ad hoc", siguiendo los pasos habituales de la investigación basada en el método de encuesta. La muestra participante en este estudio está constituida por 1176 docentes de todas las etapas educativas. Los resultados de la investigación no solo apuntan a una falta de formación específica de los y las docentes en este ámbito, sino que también entre aquellos formados existe la sensación de estar poco preparados. Variables como la edad o el tiempo trabajado parecen tener una mayor relevancia a la hora de trabajar con alumnado de alta capacidad que la formación recibida. Esta situación dificulta, sin duda, que pueda existir una intervención educativa de calidad hacia este alumnado.--- The educational response to high-ability students continues to be an issue for the education system. One of the main barriers of working with these students is the lack of teacher training. The objective of the research is to analyze the initial and continuing teacher training (basic training and professional development courses for teachers) to know if they consider themselves prepared when it comes to offering a quality education to these students. The general hypothesis is that teachers in the Valencian Community do not currently receive sufficient training to provide an adequate education to highability students. Specifically, the objectives set are to analyze the initial and ongoing teacher training in the Valencian Community according to their perceptions, and to determine the relationship between these perceptions and certain sociodemographic variables (age, education level, type of center and time worked). The study was carried out based on a questionnaire prepared "ad hoc," following the usual steps of research based on the survey method. The participating sample in this study is made up of information provided by 1,176 teachers from all education levels. The results of the research not only point to a lack of specific training for teachers in this area, but even teachers who have received training in this area as they report they still feel under-prepared to work with these high-ability students. Variables such as age or time worked seem to have a greater impact than the training received when working with high-ability students. This situation undoubtedly makes it difficult for there to be quality educational interventions for these students
