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
Better Men? Gendered Culturalized Citizenship in Male Emancipation Projects in the Netherlands
No full textAfter a focus on migrant women’s emancipation (Roggeband & Verloo. Social Policy & Administration, 41(3), 271–288, 2007), migrant men have become a specific target group of culturalized citizenship politics as well. In the Netherlands, men are targeted on a national level as well as on the level of street-level bureaucrats, for example, in father centers and other projects for male emancipation. What does male emancipation mean in practice of these emancipation projects? What masculinities are being presented as dominant, which are debated, and what is essentialized and de-essentialized? How are norms that are presented as masculine, combined with national, citizenship and ethnic norms and identities? How do men respond to these projects? In this contribution, we will study how masculinities are being performed, presented, and debated, based on observations in 23 male emancipation projects in the Netherlands. The projects for men are subsidized by a large national funding organization that aims to let “socially isolated” men (in practice a broad category of mostly migrant men, including refugees and migrant workers) reflect on their identities as men and their roles as partners and fathers and to help them become active citizens. Courses by “masculinity experts,” which are being provided by the funding organization, have also been observed. In these observations, it has become clear that masculinity is being given a central role by the funding organization. In the 23 projects themselves, masculinity is explicitly debated in part of the projects, while others are less explicit. In interviews with the 23 project professionals, however, it became clear that one way or another, the fact that men were the (often new) target group, influenced their project plans. A large part of the projects address men in their role as fathers, in an attempt to influence future generations, but also to find a common ground to mix ethnically diverse groups of men. Being fathers seems to be an easier way to connect men than being partners, or men in general. Relationships with partners (if they have) is a topic that is avoided by part of the projects, which is notable because most professionals legitimize the projects by saying that men “with traditional values” hamper their wives in their development. In the participant observations, it becomes visible how male norms and identities are presented as a starting point, a problem, or a solution. Also, it becomes clear how ethnic norms, and dominant norms that are sometimes presented as national norms, intersect with gender norms and how participating men respond to the gendered topics of the projects. In this contribution we want to illuminate to what extent there is room for diversity and where dominant norms are presented as better ways to be a man
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
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
