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
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
Israel`s Security and the Road Map for Peace
No full textMaģistra darbs „Izraēlas drošība un Ceļu karte mieram” ir pētījums par Ceļu kartes mieram prasību izpildes ietekmi uz Izraēlas drošību. Darba mērķis – izpētīt, kā Ceļu kartes mieram prasību izpilde ietekmējusi Izraēlas drošību. Uzdevumi: izstrādāt pieeju drošības pētīšanai, raksturot Izraēlas drošību, aplūkot Izraēlas-palestīniešu konflikta risināšanu, analizēt, kā Ceļu kartes mieram prasību izpilde ietekmējusi Izraēlas drošību.
Pētījums veidots, balstoties uz reālisma skolas sniegto skaidrojumu par drošības konceptu un drošības mērīšanu. Pētījuma rezultātā autore secina, ka, lai arī vairāku prasību izpilde Izraēlas drošību tiešā vai netiešā veidā vairojusi, citu prasību izpildes sekas joprojām ievērojami mazina Izraēlas drošību.
Atslēgvārdi: Izraēlas drošība, Ceļu karte mieram, Izraēlas-palestīniešu konflikta risināšana, Drošības koncepts.The thesis „Israel`s Security and the Road Map for Peace” is a research about Israel`s security and how it has been affected by the fulfillment of the requirements of the Road Map for Peace.
The aim: to investigate how the fulfillment of the Road Map requirements has affected the security of Israel. Main tasks: to develop an approach for the security research; to describe the security of Israel; to explore the Israeli-Palestinian conflict resolution; to analyze how Israel’s security was affected by the fulfillment of the requirements.
In the result of the study the author concludes that, although the fulfillment of some of the requirements has directly or indirectly promoted Israel’s security, the consequences of the fulfillment of other requirements still significantly are reducing it.
Key words: Security of Israel; Road Map for Peace; Israeli-Palestinian conflict resolution; Security concept
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
The Lukan covenant concept: The basis of Israel�s mandate in Luke-Acts
Full text linkUpon analysis of Luke�s Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles conjoined theoretically in the reading event, the basis of Israel�s mandate became pellucid in Lukan terms. This kind of analysis required the viable assumption of conceptual unity behind the gospel and Acts, and the application of the appropriate methodological approach of structural criticism. Morpho-syntactical analysis yielded positive results that suggested text-based evidence concerning Israel�s calling. It was observed that the covenant concept presented in its operative aspect of service to God was the basis of Israel�s mandate. Luke and Acts appeared to agree that Israel was called to live in obedient righteousness following the call to Abraham to walk blamelessly. The covenant-based calling was affirmed by Isaianic allusions to Israel�s mandate to be a light to the nations in her righteousness. The mandate�s disruption had disabled Israel, requiring the resolution of God�s deliverance.</p
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
