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
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
Estudio sobre la asertividad y las habilidades sociales en el alumnado de Educación Social
Full text linkEl estudio de las habilidades sociales ha experimentado un notable auge en los últimos años. La experiencia
personal cotidiana nos indica que pasamos un alto porcentaje de nuestro tiempo en alguna forma de
interacción social ya sea diádica o en grupo y tenemos experiencia de que las relaciones sociales positivas
son una de las mayores fuentes de autoestima y bienestar personal. Al mismo tiempo, comprobamos que la
competencia social de un sujeto, tiene una contribución importante a su competencia personal puesto que
hoy en día el éxito personal y social parece estar más relacionado con la sociabilidad y las habilidades
interpersonales del sujeto que con sus habilidades cognitivas e intelectuales. Esta competencia social es
una competencia fundamental que ha de tener adquirida todo educador/a social.
El presente estudio analiza descriptivamente las habilidades sociales y la asertividad del alumnado de la
titulación de educación social, con el objetivo de ser la base para elaborar e implementar un programa
de intervención transversal en dicha titulación a nivel de equipo docente. Se presentan aquellos datos más
significativos del estudio, mostrando especial interés en aquellas dimensiones que más influyen, determinan
y/o modulan las habilidades sociales y la asertividad. De igual modo, teniendo también como premisa
fundamental a la titulación objeto de estudio.The study of social skills has experienced a remarkable boom in recent years. The everyday experience tells
us that we had a high percentage of our time in some form of social interaction either dyadic or group and we
have experience of positive social relationships are a major source of self-esteem and personal wellbeing.
At the same time, we found that social competence of a subject, has an important contribution to personal
competence today as personal and social success seems more related to sociability and interpersonal skills
of the subject with their cognitive abilities and intellectuals. This social competence is a basic skill that must
have acquired all educator social.
This descriptive study examines the social and assertiveness skills of students in the degree of social
education, with the goal to be the basis for developing and implementing an intervention program in
that degree cross-level teaching team. Those data are presented highlights of the study, showing special
interest in those dimensions that most influence, determine and / or modulate social skills and assertiveness.
Similarly, taking also as a fundamental premise for certification under study

Análisis de la formación del docente en Andalucía a través de la evolución de los Centros de Profesorado : estudio de casos
Full text linkEl presente artículo está estructurado en dos partes diferenciadas e interdependientes. En
primer lugar, se hace un recorrido diacrónico (periodo 1984-2009) de la creación de los
Centros de Profesorado, en cuanto su creación y a los diferentes cambios normativos, que
afectan, tanto en su organización y funcionamiento, como en su concepción de la formación
del profesorado. En segundo lugar, se presenta un estudio observacional de carácter
descriptivo, centrado en el análisis de la formación ofertada por un Centro de Profesorado
en Andalucía (España), desde el año 2002 hasta el 2009. Dicho análisis se interesa por desglosar
en macrocategorías aspectos tales como: características de las actividades, tipología de
la formación, destinatarios potenciales y surgimiento de las necesidades formativas, de entre
las más relevantes.This article is structured into two distinct and interdependent parts. First, we make a diachronic
journey of the creation of Teacher Development Services (between the years 1984-
2009) and the various policy changes in both its organization and operation, as in the way of
understanding the teacher training. Secondly, an observational study case is presented with a
cualitative methodology about an analysis of the training offered by a Teacher Development
Center in Andalusian (Spain), from 2002 until 2009. This analysis focuses on characteristics
aspects such as: the personality nature of activities, types of training, potential recipients and
the emergence of training needs, among the most important.Pedagogí
