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
La Investigación una Tarea colectiva en la Formación Integral del Licenciado en Ciencias Naturales. "La Investigación como Valor fundamental"
No full textLa investigación tiene como crear y desarrollar una propuesta pedagógica "La investigación una tarea colectiva en la formación integral del Licenciado en Ciencias Naturales" en la cual la investigación sea el valor fundamental que contribuya en el desarrollo integral, en lo personal, y en lo profesional marcando lo ético y moral en el licenciado de Ciencias Naturales.
Actualmente la educación necesita producir en la investigación; es por ello que se ha convertido en objeto de estudio para este trabajo, planteándola como un valor fundamental en marcado en las necesidades de mejorar la calidad de vida y contribuir en el desarrollo humano de la población. La licenciatura en ciencias naturales contribuye en su visión de ciencia de la educación en el estudio social y cultural que hace parte de las ciencias sociales y desde las ciencias básicas el de hacer, crear ciencia y tecnología, todo esto se logra con la investigación; unidas estas dos visiones tenemos una educación fundamentada en crecimiento personal y profesional para esculpir la más perfecta escultura de arte, es decir, las ciencias básicas ponen las ideas para crear y las ciencias sociales ponen la esencia del significado final. Encontramos la explicación del por qué la investigación se constituye como un valor fundamental de las ciencias naturales y como por medio de las propuestas que vienen de un estudio exhaustivo de implementación de la investigación desde el primer semestre como asignatura que ayudará en desarrollo de futuros docentes
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

Participação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho do agronegócio paranaense
Get PDFTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso apresentado ao Instituto Latino-Americano de Economia, Sociedade e Política da
Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-

Garcias.Esta pesquisa mensura, analisa e discute o perfil das mulheres que atuam no agronegócio no Estado do Paraná, tendo como foco os aspectos socioeconômicos das trabalhadoras nos diferentes segmentos deste setor. Para tanto, utiliza como principal base de dados a PNAD e, de forma complementar, faz uso da CNAE 2.0, informações do Cepea e da RAIS. Estimou-se que, para o ano de 2015, o agronegócio paranaense correspondeu a 23% do total de mulheres ocupadas no Estado, dispostas dentro de seus segmentos de maneira que o primário contempla a maior parcela de trabalhadoras, com 41% do total. Destas mulheres, 53% são empregadas com carteira de trabalho assinada e 16% atuam por conta própria. O segmento primário se destaca por agrupar a maior concentração de mulheres que trabalham para o consumo próprio e que não são remuneradas, além de também se caracterizar pelo emprego de mulheres com a menor média de anos de estudo e de nível de instrução. O rendimento mensal médio auferido pelas trabalhadoras do agronegócio foi de R 1,648 para el año analizado, de modo que las mejores remuneradas actúan en el segmento productor de insumos para la agropecuaria. En lo que respecta la posición en el trabajo, las mujeres más bien pagas son empleadoras, seguidas por las que actúan por cuenta propia. Por fin, no que toca el nivel de instrucción, mujeres con formación superior ganan salario 226% mayor que aquellas sin formación, 192% mayor que aquellas con formación primaria y 136% mayor que aquellas con formación secundaria.This study measures, analyzes and discusses the profile of women who work in the agribusiness in the State of Paraná, focusing in the socioeconomic aspects of these workers in the different segments of this sector. It uses as the principal data base the PNAD and, in a complementary way, it uses CNAE 2.0, Cepea and RAIS information. We estimate that, in 2015, the Paraná agribusiness corresponded to 23% of the total female population occupied in the state, with 41% of them working in the primary activities. Among these women, 53% are employed with a formal contract and 16% are self-employed. The primary segment concentrates the biggest part of the women that work for their own consumption and of unpaid women. Besides, this segment is also characterized by the employment of women with the lowest average years of education and of instruction level. The remuneration of these women, on average, was R$ 1,648 per month, and those who are better paid work with inputs production. Regarding to the position in the work, those women who are better paid work as employers, followed by those who are self-employed. Finally, towards the education level, women graduated in higher education receive 226% more than those without scholar formation, 192% more than those with elementary education and 136% more than those with high education
