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

No full textTomando-se o referencial psicanalítico, em especial Freud e Kaës, esta pesquisa visa compreender como imigrantes, vindos forçosamente da República Democrática do Congo, se reconhecem em um novo lugar através do contato com a alteridade de quem lhes é estranho, considerando-se o rompimento de laços familiares e a ruptura com as referências que incidem sobre seus processos identificatórios e os constituem como sujeitos. Será feita uma introdução ao ambiente sociopolítico do país de origem dos participantes, a fim de contextualizar a situação que provoca a imigração forçada. Como objetivo geral, buscar-se-á compreender como é mantida a integridade psíquica do sujeito, a busca de novas identificações e a transformação do estranho em familiar. Os objetivos específicos visam analisar a influência das situações que promovem rupturas, associando-as à transmissão psíquica grupal, na constituição de novos laços e na percepção de si, além de compreender e identificar elementos que influenciam e interferem sobre o psiquismo destes sujeitos. De metodologia qualitativa, através de entrevistas semidirigidas com três participantes, encontramos, como resultado principal, um retorno às manifestações culturais que trazem representações dos grupos primários, sendo estas organizadoras do psiquismo do sujeito, e como maneira de se (re)conheceremFrom a psychoanalytic framework, especially Freuds and Kaëss, this research aims at understanding how immigrants who forcibly emigrated from the Democratic Republic of Congo to São Paulo recognize themselves in a new place through the contact with the alterity of those who are strange to them, taking into account the rupture of family bonds as well as the references which affect their identification processes, which form them as subjects. In order to contextualize what forces emigration, there will be an introduction to the social political environment of the participants country of origin. The overall objective will be to understand how the subjects psychic integrity is maintained, the search of new identifications and how the foreign is turned into familiar. The specific objectives aim at analysing the influence of situations that promote disruptions, relating them to the group psychic transmission, to make new bonds and to recognize oneself, as well as to understand and identify elements que influence and intervene on the subjects psyche. A qualitative approach has been used, through semi-directed interviews with three participants. The main findings refer to a return to the cultural manifestations that bring forth primary groups representations which organize the subjects psyche, as well as being a path towards (self-)recognitio
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

No full textAs transformações dos modelos de família, no decorrer da história, fizeram com que homens e mulheres se reposicionassem socialmente, sendo a paternidade um tema que sofre impactos dessas transformações e tem sido constantemente revisitado. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral analisar a vivência da paternidade, antes e depois do nascimento, em homens primíparos e, como objetivos específicos, compreender o processo de identificação dos pais com as esposas grávidas, nos períodos pré-natal e puerperal, e analisar os impactos da pandemia no processo de paternidade, nos mesmos períodos. O método utilizado foi o clínico qualitativo e longitudinal, com duas entrevistas realizadas individualmente (uma no pré-natal e outra no puerpério) com cinco homens casados, na faixa etária entre 30 e 36 anos. Do total de participantes 04 eram profissionais de empresas privadas e 01 autônomo, o que repercutiu diversamente no tempo de licença paternidade e na renda salarial, considerando os impactos do isolamento social na pandemia; 02, da raça/cor negra, apresentaram preocupações específicas frente à experiência do racismo que o filho poderá vir a sofrer; as diferentes crenças religiosas também tiveram influência no significado atribuído pelos pais aos filhos. A partir da análise de conteúdo, que considerou a perspectiva psicanalítica, especialmente winnicottiana, foram elaboradas cinco categorias temáticas: 1. Expectativas versus paternidade real; 2. Da invisibilidade ao protagonismo do pai; 3. Da identificação com a mãe à inveja; 4. A pandemia: do isolamento à necessidade de privacidade; 5. A valorização desse novo pai. Considerações finais: compreendeu-se que os participantes da pesquisa possuíam um desejo de também serem protagonistas de ações na interação com os filhos/bebês de modo quase similar às mães. Aos profissionais da saúde mental, psicólogos e psicanalistas, a pesquisa pode contribuir para mostrar a importância de oferecer escuta, revisitar conceitos e colaborar para uma visão mais atualizada que agregue antigos e fortalecidos temas às constatações contemporâneas. Sendo assim, considera-se que é possível que homens sejam pais suficientemente bons, parafraseando o termo winnicottiano de mãe suficientemente boa, uma vez que a característica principal para que esta seja assim considerada é a disponibilidade temporária a uma tarefa única, o que implica em primeiro lugar no desejo, algo que os pais participantes desta pesquisa claramente possuíamTransformations of family models throughout history led men and women to change their social roles and affected paternity, which has been constantly revisited. This research aimed to analyze the experience of fatherhood, before and after child birth in primiparous men. As secondary objectives, it aims to understand the identification process of fathers with pregnant wives in the prenatal and puerperal periods and to analyze the impacts of the pandemic on the paternity process in the same periods. The research has qualitative and longitudinal design and used two interviews carried out individually (one in the prenatal period and the other in the puerperium) with five married men, aged between 30 and 36 years. The sample is described as the following: 04 were professionals from private companies and 01 were self-employed, which brought differences on the time of paternity leave and salary income, given the impacts of social isolation in the pandemic; 02 were black race/color, presented specific concerns regarding the experience of racism that the child may suffer in the future; different religious beliefs also had an influence on the meaning attributed by parents to their children. A content analysis was carried out based on the following thematic categories: 1. Expectations versus real paternity; 2. From invisibility to the role of the father; 3. From identification with the mother to envy; 4. The pandemic: from isolation to the need for privacy; 5. The appreciation of this new father. In general, it was concluded that the sample has a desire to also play a leading role with the children almost likely the mothers. However, there was a lack of information and interventions, mainly by mental health professionals, which included husbands in the preparation for puerperal pregnancy cycle. Finally, the pandemic condition was observed as a possibility to protect the family\'s privacy due to isolation, even adding economic concerns depending on the employment relationship of the participant
