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
La procedencia geográfica de los presidentes argentinos que ejercieron funciones desde 1916 hasta la actualidad
No full textAlong the line of a broad research on presidential institution in Argentina, geographic origins of presidents between 1916 and 2011 are identified, and effects of development standards of birthplaces of presidential candidates on their chances to reach presidency and their attitudes towards representative democracy in the studied period are analyzed. Candidates coming from small cities had the best chances to reach presidency; those coming from rural areas or villages were the most left out. The enhancement of representative democracy increased chances for candidates coming from the largest cities. Antidemocratic sympathyes prevailed among candidates coming from rural areas, villages and small cities; leaning to representative democracy prevailed among those coming from largest cities. Each institutional scenario of this period seems to generate it’s own emergent.En el marco de una línea de investigación de mayor alcance sobre la institución presidencial argentina se identifica la procedencia geográfica de los presidentes del período 1916-2013; y se analizan los efectos del grado de desarrollo de los lugares de origen de los aspirantes a la presidencia sobre sus posibilidades de acceso al gobierno y sobre su disposición hacia la democracia. Los que provenían de pequeñas ciudades tuvieron las mejores posibilidades de acceso al gobierno durante el periodo; los de zonas rurales o pueblos fueron los más relegados. La profundización de la democracia favoreció las posibilidades de los que provenían de los lugares más poblados. Entre los que provenían de zonas rurales o ciudades pequeñas prevalecía la identificación con proyectos antidemocráticos; entre los de las grandes ciudades, la inclinación hacia la democracia. Cada uno de los diversos escenarios institucionales que se alternaban parece haber generado sus propios emergentes
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
La formación educativa de los presidentes argentinos 1916/2015
Full text linkComo se expuso en la presentación del proyecto, en el marco de una plataforma de investigación más amplia sobre la institución presidencial argentina, como producto de contextos socioculturales, en esta oportunidad los autores se propusieron:1) Identificar las proporciones de los niveles que alcanzaron los presidentes argentinos que ejercieron funciones entre 1916 y 2015 dentro de las clasificaciones legisladas del sistema educativo formal.2) Identificar las mismas proporciones que prevalecieron en la población general del país durante el período estudiado.3) Establecer la correlación entre nivel educativo y acceso a la presidencia durante el periodo estudiado en general.4) Establecer la correlación entre nivel educativo y acceso a la presidencia en cada uno de los diversos escenarios institucionales que se alternaron en el país durante el período estudiado: dictatoriales, constitucionales restringidos, y constitucionales con vigencia plena de procedimientos electorales propios de la democracia representativa.5) Establecer la correlación entre la proporción de los niveles educativos alcanzados del conjunto general de los presidentes estudiados, con la proporción de niveles educativos observados en los subconjuntos de presidentes que alcanzaron el poder en los diversos escenarios institucionales que se alternaron en el país.6) Identificar la proporción de los presidentes en funciones que participó en cada uno de los diversos escenarios institucionales del período en estudio.7) Establecer la correlación entre nivel educativo y participación en los diversos escenarios institucionales del período

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
