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
Diseño de un bloque de tierra comprimida para la innovación sostenible desde la sabiduría ancestral en Juaruco, Colombia
No full textEl proyecto Tecnoterra introduce un bloque de tierra comprimida en Juaruco, una comunidad arraigada en la tradición de construcción con tierra. Se fusiona la sabiduría ancestral con innovaciones contemporáneas para crear una solución habitacional sostenible y culturalmente conectada Comenzando con la contextualización del pueblo y su entorno geográfico y climático, el proyecto abarca la esencia vernácula de la construcción en tierra y destaca el papel esencial de las maderas locales en el proceso constructivo. El diseño del bloque Tecnoterra evoluciona a través de pasos meticulosos, desde la exploración inicial hasta la resolución de desafíos de fabricación y la propuesta de un nuevo modelo. Se enfoca en la preparación de la cimentación, la colocación de bloques y la construcción de la cubierta para desarrollar un módulo de vivienda eficaz. El proyecto culmina con una reflexión integral sobre los aspectos económicos, comerciales, culturales, sostenibles y comunitarios, subrayando la importancia de esta iniciativa para la preservación del patrimonio constructivo y el bienestar de la comunidad de Juaruco.The Tecnoterra project introduces a compressed earth block in Juaruco, a community rooted in the tradition of earth construction. It combines ancient wisdom with contemporary innovations to create a sustainable and culturally connected housing solution. Beginning with the contextualization of the town and its geographical and climatic environment, the project encompasses the vernacular essence of earth construction and highlights the essential role of local woods in the construction process. The design of the Tecnoterra block evolves through meticulous steps, from the initial exploration to the resolution of manufacturing challenges and the proposal of a new model. It focuses on the preparation of the foundation, the placement of blocks, and the construction of the cover to develop an effective housing module. The project culminates in a comprehensive reflection on economic, commercial, cultural, sustainable, and community aspects, emphasizing the importance of this initiative for the preservation of the construction heritage and the well-being of the Juaruco community.Lista de Tablas y Figuras 9 -- Introducción 13 -- Metodologia 16 -- Objetivo 20 -- La Tierra del Corregimiento Juaruco (Contexto) 22 -- Ubicación: 22 -- Clima 23 -- Aspecto cultural 26 -- Análisis de la construcción en Juaruco 34 -- Lo vernáculo: Construcción en Tierra 43 -- Maderas 47 -- Maderas de tierra 47 -- Maderas de aire 48 -- La tierra como materia prima para la construcción sostenible (Referentes) 53 -- Estudios de Caso 66 -- Escuela Primaria De Gando (Gando Primary School).

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
