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
Systematisk hyressättning enligt Malmömodellen - En kvalitativ studie av Malmömodellens principer och dess eventuella effekter för segregation, gentrifiering och rättvisa på hyresmarknaden i Malmö
No full textI denna uppsats undersöks hyressättningssystemet i Malmö: Malmömodellen. Syftet bakom denna systematiska hyressättningsmodellen var att försöka få till en förbättrad situation på Malmös bostadsmarknad där svarthandel med kontrakt och svårmotiverade skillnader i hyresnivåer var ett utbrett problem. Malmömodellens införande innebar att stadens bostadsområden rangordnades utifrån attraktivitet - lägets attraktivitet skulle få större inverkan på hyran. Det innebar även att en modell för hyrespåslag utifrån olika parametrar kopplade till bostadens standard infördes. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i att studera hur dessa förändringar påverkar segregation och gentrifiering och hur respondenter från inblandade och drivande parter ser på dessa frågor. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med respondenter från Malmös Kommunala Bostadsbolag (MKB), Hyresgästföreningen samt Heimstaden. Studien följer en kvalitativ metod och resultaten bearbetades kvalitativt. Detta för att vi ville fånga de enskilda respondenternas uppfattningar. Studiens respondenter menade att de inte trodde att Malmömodellen hade någon nämnvärd påverkan på segregation, men med förbehållet att den eventuellt kan ha bidragit något till att förstärka redan rådande segregationsmönster. En oro över att själva rangordningen av bostadsområdena kan bidra till negativa självuppfyllande spiraler lyftes även, vilket även går att koppla till studiens teoridel.
Utöver det utfördes en dokumentanalys av några av de dokument som legat till grund för Malmömodellens utformning. Resultaten indikerar att den enkät som låg till grund för rangordningen av de områden man valt att dela in Malmö i eventuellt hade vissa brister gällande urval och utformning och att många respondenter var skeptiska till syftet samt områdesindelningen.This essay examines the rental system in Malmö: Malmömodellen [The Malmö Model]. The purpose behind this systematic rental model was to try to get an improved situation on Malmö's housing market where black market trading with contracts and differences in rental levels, that were difficult to motivate, was a widespread problem. The introduction of the Malmö model meant that the city's residential areas were ranked based on attractiveness - the attractiveness of the location were to have a greater impact on the rent. This also meant that a model for rent levels based on various parameters linked to the housing standard were introduced. The study examines how these changes affect segregation and gentrification and how respondents from involved and driving parties view these issues. Semistructured interviews were conducted with respondents from Malmö's Municipal Housing Company (MKB), Hyresgästföreningen (the Tenants' Association) and Heimstaden. The study and its results were conducted and processed by using a qualitative method, because we wanted to capture the perceptions of the individual respondents. The respondents did not believe that the Malmö model had any significant impact on segregation, but with the reservation that it may have contributed somewhat to exacerbating the already existing segregation pattern. Concerns that the actual ranking of the residential areas could also contribute to negative self-fulfilling spirals is also raised, which can also be linked to the study's theoretical chapter.
In addition, a document analysis of some of the documents that formed the basis of the Malmö model was performed. The results indicate that the questionnaire, on which the ranking of the areas of Malmö were based on, might have had some shortcomings regarding selection and design and that many respondents were skeptical of the purpose and the division of the residential areas
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
Medborgardeltagande och hållbar mobilitet: En studie av medborgardeltagandets roll i planeringen för en hållbar mobilitet på kommunal nivå
No full textDenna uppsats undersöker hur medborgardeltagande och förankringsarbete ser ut i planeringen för en hållbar mobilitet på kommunal nivå. Utgångspunkten för uppsatsen var att, för att planeringen för en hållbar mobilitet ska vara lyckad, behövs allmänhetens acceptans och att medborgarna inkluderas i planeringsprocessen, något som kan uppnås genom medborgardeltagande och förankringsarbete. Syftet med uppsatsen är således att undersöka medborgardeltagande och förankringsarbete i planeringen för en hållbar mobilitet på kommunal nivå. Uppsatsen är en fallstudie och undersöker hur detta arbete ser ut i Halmstads kommun.
I studien granskades den vägledande handboken Trafik för en attraktiv stad – TRAST och Halmstads kommuns handlingsprogram för hållbara transporter. Huvudempirin utgjordes av respondentintervjuer med tjänstepersoner som arbetar med planering för en hållbar mobilitet i Halmstads kommun, där fokus låg på deras syn på och erfarenheter av medborgardeltagande
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
