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
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
Timbered pub in Kecerovciach (Košice-okolie district)
No full textBývalá krčma v Kecerovciach, dnes hospodárska budova mladšieho, vedľa postaveného domu, je svojou typológiou a drevohlinenou hrazdenou konštrukciou vzácnym svedkom niekdajšieho stavebného rázu vidieckych sídel v južnom Šariši. Podnes si ju nevšimol nijaký národopisný či vlastivedný výskum a žiadna pamiatková či pamäťová inštitúcia neprejavila záujem o jej ochranu či obnovu. Autor príspevku sa s ňou stretol a dokumentoval ju v roku 2022.he former pub in Kecerovce, today an outbuilding of a younger house built next to it, with its typology and timbered construction is a rare witness of the former building character of rural settlements in southern Šariš. To date, no ethnographic or local history research has noticed it and no monument or memory institution has shown interest in its protection or restoration. The author of this paper met and documented the pub in 2022
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
Applying Business Intelligence tools for the Financial and Property Analysis of Municipalities
No full textDiplomová práce se zabývá softwarovou podporou jedné z metod finanční a majetkové analýzy municipalit (FAMA), jejímž spoluautorem je Ing. Petr Toth, Ph.D. z Katedry veřejné správy a regionálního rozvoje Vysoké školy ekonomické v Praze. Cílem práce je zhodnotit současnou programovou podporu metody a realizovat alternativní řešení pomocí nástrojů Business Intelligence. Na základě analýzy produkčních dat a uživatelských požadavků byl pro vybranou část metody realizován pilotní projekt v prostředí Microsoft SQL Serveru 2005. Pozornost byla věnována zejména nástrojům integračních služeb serveru pro práci se XML daty. Přínosem práce je zejména realizace programové podpory metody FAMA pomocí datového skladu, který jako hlavní zdroj dat využívá výkazy o hospodaření municipalit Ministerstva financí ČR ve formátu XML. První část práce se věnuje samotné metodě finanční a majetkové analýzy a současné programové podpory této metody. Druhá část práce obsahuje řešení pilotního projektu Business Intelligence. V závěrečném hodnocení jsou porovnány obě varianty řešení z několika různých hledisek.This master thesis deals with the software support of one Financial and Property Analysis of Municipalities (FAMA). The co-author of this method is Doctor Petr Toth from the Institute of Public Administration and Regional Development at University of Economics in Prague. The method is supported by Microsoft Access database application and two C++ applications ArisDestiller and Prognoza at present time. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the present software support of Financial and Property Analysis and implement an alternative solution based on Business Intelligence tools. Chosen part of analysis is implemented in the pilot project using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 environment. The thesis focuses mainly on using integration tools for XML data. The contribution of the thesis is to implement data warehouse, which uses the municipalities‘annual bills in XML format from the database of Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic. The Financial and Property Analysis method and the current software support are discussed in the first half of this thesis. The other half of the work is dedicated to the Business Intelligence pilot project. Both means of software support are reviewed and compared from various perspectives in the conclusion
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
