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
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
ATIVISMO JUDICIAL: UMA REALIDADE NO JUDICIÁRIO BRASILEIRO / JUDICIAL ACTIVISM: A REALITY IN THE BRAZILIAN JUDICIARY (P.105)
Full text linkResumo: O presente artigo tem por objeto o fenômeno do “ativismo judicial”, sendo o principal objetivo do trabalho traçar uma visão sobre a presença deste instituto no Poder Judiciário brasileiro e sua influência nos demais poderes. Partindo-se do princípio da separação dos poderes de Montesquieu até a promulgação da Constituição de 1988, faz-se uma contextualização histórica, política e social do “ativismo judicial”. Após, são apresentados os conceitos e as diferenças entre o “ativismo judicial” e a “judicialização”, devido às semelhanças entre estes dois fenômenos. Ao final, os principais posicionamentos críticos sobre o tema são expostos, dando uma visão geral dos prós e contras da utilização do “ativismo” pelos membros do Judiciário, o qual está cada vez mais presente nas cortes brasileiras, tornando-se uma realidade incontestável. A metodologia utilizada nesta pesquisa é de caráter bibliográfico e jurisprudencial, sendo consultadas fontes impressas e virtuais, por meio da análise descritiva e método dedutivo. Palavras-chave: Ativismo judicial. Princípio da separação dos poderes. Judicialização. Princípio democrático. Interpretação legislativa. Abstract: This article aims at the phenomenon of "judicial activism", with the main objective to draw a view on the presence of this institute in the Brazilian judiciary and its influence on other branches. Starting with the principle of separation of powers Montesquieu until the promulgation of the 1988 Constitution, it is a historical, political and social context of "judicial activism." After the concepts and the differences between the "judicial activism" and "Judicialization", due to the similarities between these two phenomena are presented. At the end, the most critical positions on the issue are exposed, giving an overview of the pros and cons of the use of "activism" by members of the judiciary, which is increasingly present in the Brazilian courts, becoming an undeniable reality. The methodology used in this research is bibliographic and judicial character, being printed and virtual sources consulted, through descriptive analysis and deductive method. Keywords: Judicial activism. Principle of separation of powers. Judicialization. Democratic principle. Legislative interpretation
A verdade no processo penal: a gestão dialético-aproximativa da prova
No full textO objetivo do presente trabalho é investigar a concepção de verdade no direito processual penal, em relação aos conceitos filosóficos relacionados ao tema, para formular uma teorização acerca dessa problemática. Parte-se da hipótese de que uma teoria processual condizente com os moldes constitucionais e com a ideia de Justiça é aquela que tem, na busca da verdade, uma condição necessária para a justa solução da controvérsia. Os meios de prova têm o papel de trazer a verdade ao processo, tornando-a inteligível, visando a uma decisão adequada ao Direito. O julgador deve buscar a verdade pelos meios probatórios previamente previstos pelo sistema processual, que devem demonstrar sua eficiência em alcançar e traduzir os fatos da maneira mais próxima possível à verdade. Defendeu-se a tese de que a verdade processual pode ser “aproximada” em relação aos eventos passados, que deve ser “otimizada” em um processo dialético que resguarde as garantias constitucionais processuais do acusado, volte-se à correta aplicação da lei e que tenha como objetivo final a justiça. Desenvolveu-se o presente estudo por intermédio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, utilizando-se, na escrita, o procedimento dedutivo e, na apresentação, o formato monográfico. Trata-se de estudo justificável, tendo em conta a relevância que o tema da verdade encontra no direito processual, e a necessidade de se conferir aplicabilidade à força normativa da Constituição Federal. Concluiu-se que o diálogo processual baseado nas provas promove, no final um “desvelamento possível”, baseado nas possibilidades de aproximação à verdade processualThe objective of the present work is to study the truth in the criminal procedural law, in relation to the philosophical concepts related to the subject, to formulate a theorization about this problematic. It starts from the hypothesis that a procedural theory commensurated with the constitutional molds and with the idea of Justice is that which, in the pursuit of truth, has a necessary condition for the fair solution of the controversy. The evidence has the role of bringing the truth to the process, making it intelligible, aiming at a decision appropriate to the Law. The adjudicator must seek the truth by means of evidence previously dictated by the procedural system, which must demonstrate its efficiency in reaching and translating the facts as closely as possible to the truth. The thesis that was defended was that procedural truth can be “approximated” in relation to past events, which must be "optimized" in a dialectical process that safeguards the constitutional procedural guarantees of the accused, turns to the correct application of the law and have the ultimate goal of justice. The present study was developed through bibliographic and documentary research, using, in writing, the deductive procedure and, in the presentation, the monographic format. It is a justifiable study, taking into account the relevance that the subject of truth finds in procedural law, and the need to confer applicability to the normative force of the Federal Constitution. It was concluded that evidence-based procedural dialogue promotes, at the end, a "possible unveiling", based on the possibilities of approximation to procedural truthCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPE

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
