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
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
Latino encounters: Mexicans, Tejanos, and Puerto Ricans in postwar Michigan, 1929-1971
Get PDF“Latino Encounters: Mexicans, Tejanos, and Puerto Ricans in Postwar Michigan, 1929-1971” examines three groups of Latina/o/xs as they forged national and transnational networks through postwar migration and agricultural labor. I argue that Latina/o/x migrants melded distinct claims to U.S. citizenship through interethnic and international conflicts over access to intermediary power, expressions of popular culture, and the politics of foodways. As this dissertation explores the meaning of conflict and collaboration between these three groups, I illustrate how Latina/o/xs were central to agricultural labor rights and popular culture in the Midwest, the Texas-Mexico borderlands, and Puerto Rico.
“Latino Encounters” emerges from multi-site and multi-lingual research in U.S., Mexican, and Puerto Rican archives and makes three significant contributions to the fields of labor and migration. First, as this study examines Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, and Puerto Ricans alongside each other in experiences of farm labor, my dissertation questions the meaning of migrant work as it connects to citizenship. For example, while the concept of migrant work is assumed to be non-citizen labor, I illustrate the ways migrant work became racialized and drew from networks of Latina/o/xs who were U.S. citizens. Second, my dissertation questions the center of labor organization among farmworkers. I show that farmworkers organized themselves through transnational networks. These workers not only advocated for labor rights independently but developed forms of communication and popular culture that transcended a singular expression of latinidad. Finally, while most histories of foodways and farm labor emerge in the U.S. Southwest and West Coast, my project questions region by centering the Midwest as a site of internal and international migration.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2023-05-01The student, Juan Mora, accepted the attached license on 2021-04-14 at 11:41.The student, Juan Mora, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2021-04-14 at 11:53.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2021-04-14 at 14:19.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #16323 on 2021-09-16 at 20:09:53Made available in DSpace on 2021-09-17T04:04:24Z (GMT).

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
De Guanajuato to Green Bay: A generational story of labor, place, and community, 1926-2010
Get PDFIn March 1929, Guanajuato’s governor, Agustín Arroyo, received a letter from the Secretaria de Gobernación informing him that between 1926 and 1928, over 25,000 people, many of them braceros (workers), had left the state. The letter continues by urging the governor to take an active role in diminishing the number of migrants leaving Guanajuato, which was suffering under the strain of the large exodus of able-bodied workers. Almost a century later, this is still the case. During the early twentieth century, Guanajuato was one of the three top sending states of Mexican migrants, and it is the most prolific sending state in the twenty-first century. In 2020, an estimated 37,000 people will leave the state.
“De Guanajuato to Green Bay: A Generational Story of Labor, Place and Community, 1926-2010,” traces the history of guanajuatense migration to the United States across (and beyond) the twentieth century and allows us to recalibrate our understanding of the sustained cycles of Mexican migration to the U.S. I argue that even though much has been written about the Mexican immigrant experience, we still know surprisingly little about how this history looks like from and in migrants’ communities of origin. Through a detailed examination of guanajuatense history, as well as the state’s archives, this project is one of the first to examine a century’s worth of migration from a single Mexican state. By centering the migrants’ communities of origin, I further our understanding of the stories of migrants who left, those who returned, those who traveled back and forth, and those left behind. I show that the lived experiences of migrants whose transborder histories extend far beyond the singular focus of their arrival in the U.S. deepens scholar’s and the broader public’s understandings of the ways in which the local and regional shaped the migrant journey.

I start my project in 1926 and highlight the impact of the Cristero War on guanajuatense society. By using the Cristero War to frame the story I provide an alternative chronology of Mexican migration that centers on the impact of the Cristero War, an event that has not drawn enough attention from historians of migration. Chapter one establishes the relationship between guanajuatenses, the Catholic Church, and the Mexican state and provides crucial context for understanding migrants’ decisions to leave. Chapter two traces and examines the migratory journey of guanajuatenses, who traveled to New York City in the 1920s, an unlikely destination at a time when the Mexican government tried to curtail migration. Chapter three focuses on guanajuatenses who did not receive labor contracts to work in the U.S. during the Bracero Program (1942-1964) and their lived experiences in the countryside as land reform failed to alleviate their economic hardships. Chapter four highlights the post-Bracero years in Guanajuato, new U.S. immigration policies, and ongoing issues with land reform. The final chapter shows how guanajuatenses bypassed established Mexican communities in the Southwest to arrive in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where they transformed the cultural, economic, and physical landscape of the city in ways that have escaped most scholars.
By tracing migration from Guanajuato across multiple generations and to two distinct sites in the U.S., my project re-envisions the intertwined histories of the U.S. and Mexico. It emphasizes how the migrant experience involves not just the people who migrated, but also those who returned, traveled back and forth, and stayed behind, and it presents a fine-grained regional history that recalibrates our understanding of the larger sustained cycles of Mexican migration, bringing to light migratory journeys that have received little attention.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2023-05-01The student, Carolina Ortega, accepted the attached license on 2021-04-14 at 11:45.The student, Carolina Ortega, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2021-04-14 at 11:53.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2021-04-14 at 16:35.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #16324 on 2021-09-16 at 20:09:54Made available in DSpace on 2021-09-17T04:04:24Z (GMT).
