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
Investigation Of Olympic Values Perception: Among Undergraduate Students
Get PDFAraştırmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinde olimpik değer algılarının farklı değişkenler açısından incelenmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışmaya 470’si sportif aktivitelere katılım gösteren 192’si ise sportif aktivitelerde yer almayan 622 birey gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Araştırmada 12 madde 3 alt boyuttan oluşan olimpik değerler ölçeği kullanıldı ve elde edilen sonuçlar p;,050 anlamlılık düzeyine göre değerlendirildi. Sonuç olarak olimpik değerler ölçeği alt puan ortalamaları ile sportif aktivite yapma, sportif aktivite türleri ve cinsiyetler arasında anlamlı farklılıklar görülürken sportif aktivite süresi değişkeninde de anlamlı pozitif ilişkiler olduğu görüldü. Araştırmada yer alan sportif aktivite yapma amacı, aile yapısı ve yaş değişkeni ile olimpik değerler ölçeği alt boyutları arasında anlamlı farklılık ve ilişkiler olmadığı görüldü. Sonuca bağlı kalarak bir kültür aktarımı aracı olarak sportif aktivite olimpik değerlerin aktarımında önemli farklılıklar ortaya koymaktır. Buna bağlı olarak çeşitli sportif aktivitelere katılım gösterilmesi çalışmanın önerileri arasında yer almaktadır.The aim of the study is to examine the perception of Olympic values among university students in terms of various variables. In line with this objective, 470 individuals participating in sports activities and 192 individuals not involved in sports activities volunteered for the study, making a total of 622 participants. The Olympic values scale, consisting of 12 items and three sub-dimensions, was used in the research, and the results were evaluated at the 0.050 significance level. As a result, significant differences were observed in the sub-score averages of the Olympic values scale among those engaging in sports activities, different types of sports activities, and genders. Additionally, significant positive relationships were found in the variable of sports activity duration. No significant differences or relationships were observed between the purpose of sports activity, family structure, age, and the sub-dimensions of the Olympic values scale. Consistent with the results, engaging in various sports activities stands out among the recommendations of the study as a means of cultural transmission in the transfer of Olympic values
