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
La dette souveraine, les banques centrales et le droit des finances publiques dans la tradition de Westminster
No full textAnglophone analyses of public finance law conventionally focus on three topics: taxation, appropriation (the national budget process and legislation), and audit. Within the Westminster tradition, those topics are collected in the idea of 'parliamentary control of public money': a concept embedded in constitutional thought by AV dicey at the end of the 19th century, and repeated and developed
by influential jurists through the 20th and into the 21st century. Parliamentary control of public finance, so it goes, is premised on twin constitutional pillars: parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law. A blinkered focus on those three core public finance activities (tax, appropriation and audit) has obscured the importance of other tectonic aspects of the financial and economic profile of sovereign governments: sovereign debt and monetary authority. For the most part, those two subject matters have been neglected in public law and constitutional scholarship in the Anglophone world. There are few if any major engagements with the legal framework of sovereign debt markets, or the statutory integration of central banking into the mechanisms and institutions of public finance.
This chapter seeks to fill those gaps in the intellectual fabric of legal and constitutional studies of public finance in the common law tradition. Part 1 will explore the basic constitutional model of Westminster public finance informed by an understanding of sovereign debt markets and central banking up to the 20th century. Part 2 will carry the legal and institutional review of sovereign
borrowing and central banking into the modern British state. Part 3 will then explain the development of similar but distinct legal models of public finance and financial constitutionalism in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The Chapter will close by observing the complexities of viewing core constitutional concepts through a public financial lens. Throughout, the chapter will focus on
the legal and constitutional structure of parliamentary supply and appropriation, sovereign borrowing and central banking

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
