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
(Dé)matérialiser l'Etat social. Les conseillères à l'emploi, les travailleuses sociales et les chômeur.ses face à la dématérialisation des services publics de l'emploi.
No full textBetween 2011 and 2022, dematerialization was the subject of numerous communications from public authorities. Becoming the default policy of the New Public Management strategy, it would - according to reformers - simplify work, improve the quality of public service and keep the public expenditure under control. Based on this subject of study, the thesis aims at understanding how public employment services deployed the dematerialization in their administrations and the consequences on labour organization. For this purpose, the thesis is focusing on Pôle Emploi and social services, showing that dematerialization is not just a management tool, but also a key driver for activation policy purposes. Drawing on an ethnographic survey of job counsellors, social workers and unemployed people, the thesis highlights that the dematerialization technology introduction into the workplace/workspace is reconfiguring the labor division between professionals and the unemployed, but also between professional groups working in local agencies. Standing on either side of the counter, we show that workers and the unemployed people free themselves from certain tasks and each make an autonomous use of the rule, initially aimed at making them active in a context of strengthening activation policies. Focusing more specifically on professionals, the thesis demonstrates finally that, despite competing standards of professionalism which structure their conceptions of work, employment counselors and social workers are embracing dematerialization process.Entre 2011 et 2022, la dématérialisation a fait l’objet d’une forte publicisation par les pouvoirs publics. Devenue un dispositif du New Public Management, elle permettrait, d’après les réformateurs, de simplifier le travail, d’améliorer la qualité du service public et de maitriser les dépenses publiques. En partant de cet objet d’étude, la thèse vise à comprendre comment les services publics de l’emploi ont déployé ce dispositif dans leurs administrations et quels en ont été les conséquences sur l’organisation du travail. Pour ce faire, la thèse se centre sur Pôle Emploi et les services sociaux et montre, qu’au-delà d’être un dispositif gestionnaire, la dématérialisation est mise au service des politiques d’activation. En prenant appui sur une enquête ethnographique auprès des conseillères à l’emploi, des travailleuses sociales et des chômeur.ses, la thèse met en évidence que la dématérialisation reconfigure la division du travail entre les professionnelles et les chômeur.ses d’une part, entre les groupes professionnels travaillant dans les agences locales d’autre part. En se plaçant des deux côtés du guichet, on montre alors que les travailleuses et les chômeur.ses négocient l’exécution de certaines tâches et font chacun.e un usage autonome de la règle visant initialement à les rendre actif.ve dans un contexte de renforcement des politiques d’activation. Enfin, en se focalisant plus précisément sur les travailleur.ses, la thèse met en exergue que, malgré des normes concurrentes de professionnalisme qui structurent leurs conceptions du travail, les conseillères à l’emploi et les travailleuses sociales s’accommodent plus ou moins de la dématérialisation

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
