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
O Príncipe de Maquiavel na política atual
Full text linkMesmo a obra “O Príncipe” de Nicolau Maquiavel, contendo mais de quinhentos anos, ela continua presente na atualidade. Podendo ser considerado o fundador do pensamento e da ciência política moderna pelo fato de ter escrito sobre o Estado e o governo como realmente são e não como deveriam ser. Já na época em que foi escrita e até hoje, muitas pessoas consideram esta obra como polêmica, pela interpretação que pode ser dada como negativa, cruel ou ríspida. Maquiavel apresentou cruamente o problema das relações entre politica e moral, quando ele afirma que o politico sempre necessita estar à frente da moral, apresentando assim uma profunda cisão e irremediável separação entre ambas. Nesta obra, a política não é vista mais através de um fundamento exterior a ela própria, como Deus, natureza, a razão e entre outras, mas sim como uma atividade humana. Sendo que os princípios políticos de Maquiavel permanecerão em debate até o momento em que a humanidade deixar a vontade pelo poder de lado, fato este que dificilmente se concretize
O "Problema florestal brasileiro" e as bases históricas da constitucionalização da proteção à natureza
No full textThe present work aims to understand the historical motivations, the ecological problems and the political-legal proposals that led to the beginning of the constitutionalisation of nature protection in the 1934 Constitution. At first, the “Brazilian forest problem” was presented in the first half of the 20th century, with a view to deciphering what were the political, economic and environmental issues that accompanied Brazilian society. In a second moment, the context, discussions and ways in which the theme of nature protection emerged in the 1933-1934 Constitution were analyzed, as well as the work of the Ministry of Agriculture in the construction of the first Brazilian conservationist codes, all from 1934. To carry out this research, a primary source was consulted, consisting of the periodical press, the annals of the Itamaraty sub-commission, the annals of the 1933-34 constituent, as well as technical texts, reports and opinions of scientists linked to the Ministry of Agriculture. Subsequently, a historical interpretation was applied that sought to place the issue of nature protection in context, linking it to other political movements and intellectual traditions of constitutional law.O presente trabalho pretende compreender quais foram as motivações históricas, os problemas ecológicos e as propostas político-jurídicas que ensejaram o início da constitucionalização da proteção a natureza na Constituição de 1934. Em um primeiro momento foi apresentado o “problema florestal brasileiro” na primeira metade do século XX, com vistas a decifrar quais eram as questões políticas, econômicas e ambientais que acompanhavam a sociedade brasileira. Num segundo momento foi analisado o contexto, as discussões e as formas pelas quais o tema da proteção à natureza emergiu na constituinte de 1933-1934, bem como a atuação do Ministério da Agricultura na construção dos primeiros códigos conservacionistas brasileiros, todos do ano de 1934.. Para realizar essa pesquisa foi consultada fonte primária consubstanciada na imprensa de época, nos anais da subcomissão do Itamaraty, nos anais da constituinte de 1933-34, bem como em textos técnicos, relatórios e pareceres de cientistas vinculados ao Ministério da Agricultura. Posteriormente, foi aplicado uma interpretação histórica que buscou inserir a questão da proteção da natureza em contexto, vinculando-o a outros movimentos políticos e tradições intelectuais do direito constitucional
Da luta pelo sufrágio à presidência do Brasil: descrição do empoderamento feminino na política
Full text linkA presença de mulheres no cenário político representa uma possibilidade de atendimento às necessidades e aos interesses da população feminina. A partir disso, vários são os argumentos que para justificar a importância da participação feminina nesses espaços. Entre estes argumentos destacam-se a crença da moralização da prática política, na qual a mulher tornaria o meio político mais honesto e ético; outro ponto está no fato de que a presença feminina na política formal levaria à inclusão, na agenda política, de temas que concernem a interesses femininos. Atualmente várias mulheres conseguiram espaço no campo político brasileiro, como o caso da presidente Dilma, bem como várias deputadas, prefeitas e vereadoras, mas cenário árduo e de batalhas até chegar nestes patamares
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
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
