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
Virtud y habitar ético-político
No full textIn this paper I examine the virtue as metaphysical foundation of the ethical-po-litical dwell. Beginning, firstly, with a preliminary exposition on the concept of such dwell, I develop in second place the way it is presented by Leibniz as a “re-sult” of his speculative system and to what extent that result, namely, the spiritual society, is, actually, the condition of possibility of any philosophical meditation. Founded the dwell in the virtue and being the virtue at the same time problem in modernity and a theme of broad range since the antiquity, in the third and fourth parts I analyse, respectively, the restrictions attributed to the virtue, on the one hand, and the possibility of its opening, on the other. I conclude with an idea of the virtue followed from its historicism, as well as the signalling of some ways that these reflections offer.En este artículo examino la virtud como fundamento metafísico del habitar ético-político. Comienzo con una exposición preliminar sobre el concepto de dicho habitar. Desarrollo en un segundo momento el modo en que éste es pre-sentado por Leibniz como “resultado” de su sistema especulativo y en qué me-dida ese resultado, a saber, la sociedad espiritual, es en realidad la condición de posibilidad de cualquier reflexión filosófica. Fundado el habitar en la virtud y al ser la virtud, a la vez, problema en la modernidad y tema de amplia gama desde la antigüedad, en las tercera y cuarta partes analizo, respectivamente, las restricciones atribuidas a la virtud, por un lado, y la posibilidad de su apertura, por el otro. Concluyo con una idea de virtud seguida de su historicismo, así como con la indicación de algunos caminos que ofrecen estas consideraciones
La unidad del pensamiento
No full textEste ensayo trata sobre la investigación del principio de unidad. Para ello examino la unidad en relación con el pensamiento. El pensamiento es comprendido en tres sentidos: como la unidad del objeto de investigación, como la unidad del desarrollo histórico y como principio vital del quehacer filosófico. Estos sentidos muestran la posibilidad de continuar con la investigación de la verdad. El diálogo con la tradición y los sentidos que ésta dona al concepto de pensamiento nos permiten comprender la dificultad de dicha investigación, no con la finalidad de ceder ante ella, sino para contribuir en la búsqueda. El propósito es abrirse paso en lo previamente pensado para repensarlo y enriquecerlo desde la época actual.This essay inquires about the research on the principle of unity. For this purpose I examine the unity in connection with the thinking. The thinking is understood in three senses: as the unity of inquiry's subject, as the unity of the historical development and as vital principle of philosophical work. These senses display the possibility to continue the research on the truth. The dialogue with the tradition and the senses given by it to thinking's concept let us understand that research's difficulty, not in order to yield to it, but to contribute in the search. The purpose is to make one's way between the previously pondered, in order to rethink it and enrich it from the current epoch
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
