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
Alpine Copper II - Alpenkupfer II - Rame delle Alpi II - Cuivre des Alpes II : new results and perspectives on prehistoric copper production / Turck, Rouven ; Stöllner, Thomas ; Goldenberg, Gert / A methodology to integrate information in prehistoric mining archaeology research
No full textIn prehistoric mining archaeology research, different scientific areas are working together to solve fundamental research questions related to the production and use of metals in prehistoric times. They produce information according to the methodologies of their discipline and in the specific formats that best document their observations
and research. These formats may be very different as the documentation of archaeological or geological prospection, archaeological excavations, surveying, mineralogical, geochemical and metallurgical analysis, experimental archaeology and ethnoarchaeology vary significantly even within one discipline. In this paper we want to present a methodology how to integrate information of the above mentioned disciplines in order to answer specific questions in prehistoric mining archaeology research. The methodology is based on building a conceptual model that is able to represent the information of the participating disciplines and to inform the archaeologist on observations, physical structures, geochemical ore/artefact signatures and interpretations related to prehistoric mining, ore processing and extractive metallurgy with all the employed technologies. The CIDOC CRM ontology is used as conceptual background to structure the data. After the main categories of the conceptual model have been defined they need to be specialised in a hierarchical thesaurus. The transformation and mapping of existing data to the conceptual model is realized with semantic web technologies. The integration of the information and the subsequent provision in adequate tools can help researchers of prehistoric mining archaeology significantly to answer their research questions.Universität Innsbruck 240346Fonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung J 3646-N1
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
Historischer Bergbau in Schwaz (1440-1850): eine Montanregion im Spiegel ihrer Auf- und Abschwünge
Get PDFDie Neuerscheinung über die interdisziplinäre Forschung zur Entwicklung des Montanwesens in den Ostalpen ist in sieben Kapitel gegliedert, die die Arbeitsschwerpunkte des Spezialforschungsbereiches HiMAT wiederspiegeln. Einleitend wird der Spezialforschungsbereich, der vom FWF von 2007 bis 2012 gefördert wurde, vorgestellt; im zweiten Kapitel wird auf die primäre Gewinnung und die Bedeutung von mineralischen Rohstoffen in der Steinzeit eingegangen. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt widmet sich dem prähistorischen Kupfererzbergbau im Unterinntal und seinen Auswirkungen auf die damalige soziale und physische Umwelt. Anschließend folgt die Entwicklung des Bergbaus am Mitterberg, dem bedeutendsten ostalpinen Großproduzenten für Kupfer in der Bronzezeit und Antagonisten zu den Revieren im Tiroler Unterinntal (Kapitel 4). Abgerundet wird diese Darstellung des prähistorischen Montanwesens mit den Forschungen zur Siedlungsgeschichte und deren möglicher Konnex zu Bergbauaktivitäten im Montafon. Ein letztes Kapitel „widmet sich“ dem Schwazer Revier und entwickelt mit der Mikrostudie Kogelmoos durch intensive interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit ein historisches Analogon für ein Bergbaurevier, das durch seine Anwendung wesentlich zum besseren Verständnis der prähistorischen Bergbaureviere beiträgt. Der Schlussteil (Kapitel 7) berichtet über Dokumentation & Information, einer Herausforderung in der Informationsverarbeitung innerhalb des interdisziplinaren Forschungsprojekts
