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
Satisfação acadêmica de estudantes de graduação da Universidade Save, em Inhambane, Moçambique
Full text linkThis study assessed the academic satisfaction of undergraduate students at Save University, located in the southern region of Mozambique, using the Academic Experience Satisfaction Scale, a sociodemographic questionnaire, and a free-form question. The 285 participants attended eight courses and were between 19 and 43 years old. Descriptive analyses and analysis of variance were performed using the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. The results indicate that most students were satisfied with the elements of the course dimension. The most satisfied students were male, with partners, in the courses of Human Resource Management, Educational Psychology, History, Agriculture, Chemistry, and Psychology, in the after-work shift, and over 35 years old. The participants suggested improvements in the existing teaching conditions, course management, interpersonal relationships between teachers/students, institutional public services, quality of teachers, student assistance policies, and tuition fees.Este estudio evaluó la satisfacción académica de estudiantes universitarios de Universidad Save, ubicada en la región sur de Mozambique, utilizando la Escala de Satisfacción de Experiencia Académica, un cuestionario sociodemográfico y una pregunta de libre expresión. Los 285 participantes asistieron a ocho cursos y tenían entre 19 y 43 años. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y análisis de varianza utilizando el software utilizando el software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Los resultados indican que la mayoría de los estudiantes estaban satisfechos con los elementos de la dimensión del curso. Los discentes más satisfechos fueron los varones, con parejas, de las carreras de Gestión de Recursos Humanos, Psicología Educativa, Historia, Agronomía, Química y Psicología, por la noche y mayores de 35 años. Los participantes sugieren mejoras en las condiciones actuales de enseñanza, la gestión de los cursos, las relaciones interpersonales entre profesores y estudiantes, los servicios públicos institucionales, la calidad docente, las políticas de asistencia a los estudiantes y los costos de matrícula.Neste estudo, avaliou-se a satisfação acadêmica de estudantes de graduação da Universidade Save, localizada na região sul de Moçambique, através da Escala de Satisfação com a Experiência Acadêmica, questionário sociodemográfico e uma pergunta de livre expressão. Os 285 participantes frequentavam oito cursos e tinham idades entre 19 e 43 anos. As análises descritivas e análise de variância foram realizadas com auxílio do software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Os resultados indicam que a maioria dos estudantes estava satisfeita com os elementos da dimensão do curso. Os discentes mais satisfeitos foram do sexo masculino, com companheiros, dos cursos de Gestão de Recursos Humanos, Psicologia Educacional, História, Agropecuária, Química e Psicologia, do turno pós-laboral e com idades superiores a 35 anos. Os participantes sugerem a melhoria das condições de ensino existentes, gestão do curso, relacionamento interpessoal entre professores/estudantes, atendimento público institucional, qualidade de professores, políticas de assistência estudantil e taxas de mensalidades
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
