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

Get PDFINSTITUTIONALIZATION AND DEINSTITUTIONALIZATION OF INSTITUTIONS FOR CHILDREN WITHOUT ADEQUATE PARENTAL CARE
Get PDFInstitucionalizacija djece tijekom čitavog 20. stoljeća dominantan je oblik skrbi za djecu na području Republike Hrvatske i Europe. U radu se razmatraju glavni razlozi, koji su često povezani i višestruki i ishodi institucionalizacije djece bez odgovarajuće roditeljske skrbi, kao i proces deinstitucionalizacije. Premda je svrha institucionalizacije bila zaštita djece i mladih, institucionalni uvjeti nisu pogodovali svestranom razvoju njegovih korisnika. Štoviše, u institucijama krše se prava djece već samim smještajem u instituciju, a potom i načinom života i kulturom institucije. Suočeni s lošim ishodima razvoja djece koja su smještena u institucije, zapadna Europa već 50-ih godina 20. stoljeća počinje s traženjem i razvijanjem alternativnih oblika skrbi. Taj proces poznat je pod nazivom deinstitucionalizacija. On počiva na paradigmi dječjih prava. Svako dijete ima pravo živjeti u obitelji te mu kao stranka Konvencije o pravima djeteta, država treba osigurati život u okruženju obiteljskog tipa. Okvir za provedbu procesa deinstitucionalizacije na razini pojedine institucije čine doneseni strateški i operativni planovi. Temeljem tih dokumenata započet je proces deinstitucionalizacije koji obuhvaća, zbrinjavanje djece koja su u institucijama i njihovo premještanje u neinstitucionalne uvjete, razvijanje novih usluga u zajednici namijenjenih obiteljima koje će prevenirati izdvajanje djece iz obitelji, te osiguravanje adekvatnog tretmana za djecu kojoj je ipak nužan period boravka izvan vlastite obitelji.During all of the 20th century, institutionalization of children was the dominant form of care for children in Croatia and Europe. This paper considers the main causes, often interconnected and multiple, and outcomes of institutionalization of children without adequate parental care, as well as the deinstitutionalization process. Even though the purpose of institutionalization was the protection of children and youth, the institutional conditions were unfavourable for a comprehensive development of users. Moreover, such institutions violate children's rights by their mere placement in the institution, as well as by the institutional lifestyle and culture. Faced with poor developmental outcomes of children placed in institutions, Western Europe started searching for and developing alternative forms of care as early as in the 1950s. This process is referred to as deinstitutionalization. It is based on the children's rights paradigm. Every child has the right to live in a family, and as signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the state is obligated to ensure that each child is placed in a family-like environment. The framework for the implementation of the deinstitutionalization process on the level of each institution consists of strategic and operational plans. These documents provide a starting point for the deinstitutionalization process, including provision of care for institutionalized children and their transfer to a non-institutional environment, development of new family-oriented services in the community conceived for the purpose of preventing the removal of children from their families and ensuring adequate treatment of children who do need to spend some time outside their families
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

Get PDFAppropriate 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
