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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Crianças refugiadas e migrantes na fronteira norte do Brasil: a educação como espaço de proteção
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências de Educação, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, Florianópolis, 2024.A presente tese tem como temática a proteção e educação de crianças refugiadas e migrantes venezuelanas no norte do Brasil, com foco na cidade fronteiriça, Pacaraima, e na capital, Boa Vista, localizadas no estado de Roraima. Tem-se como marco legal a aplicabilidade do Direito Internacional dos Refugiados e o Direito da Criança para tutela dos Direitos Humanos. Destaca-se a Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre o Estatuto dos Refugiados de 1951, seu respectivo Protocolo de 1967, e a Convenção sobre os Direitos da Criança de 1989. Também são apresentadas as normas e os posicionamentos sobre o tema no âmbito da América Latina, com recorte para políticas públicas do Brasil e da Colômbia, bem como programas referentes à proteção e à educação de crianças refugiadas e migrantes elaborados por agências da Organização das Nações Unidas como: ACNUR, OIM e Unicef, com o apoio de organizações da sociedade civil. Evidencia-se a condição das crianças refugiadas e migrantes enquanto atores centrais e protagonistas dos movimentos migratórios. Alicerçada na teoria histórico-cultural de Vigotski, a tese estabelecida é de que o meio e as relações sociais interferem de forma significativa no desenvolvimento da criança, especialmente no ambiente escolar. Deste modo, a educação em situações de emergência é abordada como ferramenta para a proteção de crianças e mitigação de riscos, com destaque para os Espaços Amigáveis (Child Friendly Space), enquanto locais que visam a garantia de direitos, uma vez que essas crianças estão mais vulneráveis ao tráfico de pessoas, ao trabalho infantil, à exploração sexual e a outras formas de violência. Trata-se de pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, amparando-se nas técnicas de pesquisa documental, bibliográfica e de campo. Para avaliar a relação entre as migrações de crianças e a educação em situações de emergência no Brasil, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo e entrevistas semiestruturadas, entre setembro e novembro de 2020, com especialistas, organizações e autoridades brasileiras que atuam com migração e educação. A Operação Acolhida se destaca enquanto um esforço do governo federal para garantir o atendimento humanitário aos refugiados e migrantes venezuelanos, sobretudo indígenas da etnia Warao. A atuação da Defensoria Pública da União (DPU), no que tange ao atendimento de crianças e adolescentes que se encontram em situação de dificuldade migratória em regiões de fronteira também foi objeto de atenção. As análises permitiram identificar que a diversidade étnica e cultural é intrínseca ao cotidiano dos Espaços Amigáveis, da comunidade e das escolas. Esta pesquisa apresenta as contribuições do ato de desenhar enquanto ferramenta de comunicação efetiva e possibilidade de construção de vínculos. A conclusão é que, apesar dos avanços normativos e seus mecanismos de proteção, as crianças refugiadas e migrantes ainda estão mais propensas a estarem fora da escola e de terem outros direitos violados. Diante disso, ressalta-se o desafio do acesso à educação enquanto mecanismo de proteção e direito a ser garantido a todas as crianças, independentemente de sua condição social, origem e status migratório.Abstract: This thesis discusses the protection and education of Venezuelan refugee and migrant children in northern Brazil, focusing on the border town, Pacaraima, and the capital city, Boa Vista, both located in the state of Roraima. The legal framework of this work is the applicability of International Refugee Law and the Right of the Child for the protection of Human Rights. The 1951 United Nations Convention on the Status of Refugees, its respective 1967 Protocol, and the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child are also applied. In addition, norms and positioning on the subject in Latin America are presented, focusing on public policies in Brazil and Colombia, as well as programs related to the protection and education of refugee and migrant children prepared by United Nations agencies such as: UNHCR, IOM and Unicef, with the support of civil society organizations. This work highlights the condition of refugee and migrant children as central actors and protagonists of migratory movements. Based on Vygotsky's cultural-historical theory, the thesis established is that the environment and social relationships interfere significantly in children's development, especially in the school environment. In this way, education in emergency situations is approached as a tool for protecting children and mitigating risks, with an emphasis on Child Friendly Spaces as places aimed at guaranteeing rights, since these children are more vulnerable to human trafficking, child labor, sexual exploitation and other forms of violence. This is a qualitative study based on documentary, bibliographic and field research techniques. To assess the relationship between child migration and education in emergency situations in Brazil, field research and semi-structured interviews were conducted between September and November 2020 with Brazilian experts, organizations and authorities working with migration and education. The Operation Welcome (Operação Acolhida) stands out as an effort by the federal government to guarantee humanitarian assistance to Venezuelan refugees and migrants, especially indigenous people of the Warao ethnic group. The performance of the Federal Public Defender's Office (DPU) in border regions, regarding the care of children and adolescents who find themselves in a situation of migratory difficulties, was also an object of attention. The analyses made it possible to identify that ethnic and cultural diversity is intrinsic to the daily life of the CFS, the community and the schools. This research presents the contributions of the act of drawing as an effective communication tool and a possibility of building bonds. It was found that despite legislative advances and their protection mechanisms, refugee and migrant children are still more likely to be out of school. The conclusion is that despite advances in legislation and its protection mechanisms, refugee and migrant children are still more likely to be out of school and to have other rights violated. This underscores the challenge of ensuring access to education as both a protective mechanism and a right for all children, regardless of their social status, origin, and migration status
