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
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
DESAFIOS DO ATENDIMENTO PEDAGÓGICO HOSPITALAR/DOMICILIAR EM GOIÁS: GÊNERO E DOCÊNCIA NO OLHAR DOS/AS AGENTES ENVOLVIDOS/AS
No full textA pesquisa “Desafios do Atendimento Pedagógico Hospitalar/Domiciliar em Goiás:
gênero e docência no olhar dos/as agentes envolvidos/as” teve como propósito
investigar o Atendimento Pedagógico Hospitalar/Domiciliar, buscando suas
particularidades na qualidade de política pública, bem como a identidade profissional
dos sujeitos que nela atuam e a percepção dos sujeitos envolvidos, acerca do
atendimento desenvolvido pelo Naeh/Seduce-GO, considerando a questão do
gênero e da docência. A investigação adota os pressupostos da abordagem
qualitativa e se estrutura pela revisão de literatura, de estudo bibliográfico baseado
em autores como Aranha (2000, 2001, 2005); Ceccim (1999); Fonseca (2003); Freire
(1987, 2001, 2006, 2011); Louro (1997, 2003), Matos e Mugiatti (2009, 2014) entre
outros, e documental e pela articulação dos pressupostos teóricos com o contexto
empírico, por meio da pesquisa de campo, mediante questionários e entrevistas. O
estudo revelou que as políticas públicas direcionadas à inclusão, apesar dos
avanços, tiveram alcance limitado e, por isso ainda evidencia-se, o paradoxo
inclusão/exclusão. Na visão dos sujeitos da pesquisa, o Atendimento Pedagógico
Hospitalar/Domiciliar, oferecido pelo Naeh assume o papel de promotor da inclusão
e tem se expandido significativamente. No entanto, cabe destacar alguns pontos
relevantes da pesquisa: a) a falta formação para atuar nesta modalidade da
Educação Especial; b) os planejamentos e atividades são elaborados mediante o
Currículo Referência da Rede Estadual de Educação – Seduce/GO; c) a prática
pedagógica no Atendimento Pedagógico Hospitalar/Domiciliar exige dos/as
profissionais envolvidos/as maior flexibilidade, maior compreensão para as
peculiaridades de cada educando/a; d) a dificuldade dos/as profissionais que atuam
nessa modalidade de ensino, em lidar com a perda e o luto de educandos/as; e) a
rotatividade de profissionais e de educandos/as que dificulta a continuidade do
processo de ensino/aprendizagem; f) a maior parte dos/as profissionais, do Naeh,
têm vínculo efetivo na Seduce-GO, mas estão lotados/as em outras instituições de
ensino e apenas complementam a carga horária nesse tipo de atendimento; g)
embora não se perceba resistência quanto à contratação de professores e
preferência quanto à contratação de professoras, grande parte dos/as profissionais
que atuam no Atendimento Pedagógico Hospitalar/Domiciliar, nos cargos de gestão
e docência, são mulheres; h) as responsáveis são todas do sexo feminino e não
realizam trabalho remunerado fora de casa, para acompanhar o/a filho/a em
tratamento de saúde; i) a maioria das responsáveis entrevistadas, declaram preferir
professoras, devido à questão do cuidar e educar, reconhecida por elas, como
atividade feminina; j) as responsáveis afirmam que souberam do Atendimento
Pedagógico Hospitalar/Domiciliar no hospital durante a internação do/a filho/a e
consideram as atividades de relevância para o início ou continuidade das atividades
escolares, bem como as interrelações sociais. Desse modo, foram apresentados e
analisados os elementos que constituem o olhar sobre o fazer pedagógico, no
Atendimento Pedagógico Hospitalar/Domiciliar, em Goiás, que ainda tem um longo
caminho a percorrer para alcançar de fato a inclusão e a igualdade de direitos.The research "Pedagogical Hospital / Home Care in Goiás: gender and teaching in
the eyes of the subjects involved" had the purpose of investigating the Pedagogical
Hospital / Home Care, seeking their particularities in the quality of public policy, as
well as the professional identity of the subjects involved in it and the perception of the
subjects involved, about the attendance developed by Naeh / Seduce-GO,
considering the question of gender and teaching. The research adopts the
assumptions of the qualitative approach and is structured by literature review, from a
bibliographic study based on authors such as Aranha (2000, 2001, 2005); Ceccim
(1999); Fonseca (2003); Freire (1987, 2001, 2006, 2011); Louro (1997, 2003), Matos
and Mugiatti (2009, 2014) among others, and documentary and by the articulation of
theoretical assumptions with the empirical context, through field research, through
questionnaires and interviews. The study revealed that public policies aimed at
inclusion, despite advances, were limited in scope and, therefore, the inclusion /
exclusion paradox is still evident. In the view of the research subjects, the
Pedagogical Hospital / Home Care, offered by Naeh assumes the role of promoter of
inclusion and has expanded significantly. However, it is important to highlight some
relevant points of the research: a) lack of training to act in this modality of Special
Education; b) the plans and activities are elaborated through the Curriculum
Reference of the State Education Network - Seduce / GO; c) Pedagogical practice in
the Pedagogical Hospital / Home Care requires the professionals involved / the
greater flexibility, greater understanding of the peculiarities of each student; d) the
difficulty of the professionals who work in this modality of teaching, in dealing with the
loss and mourning of learners; e) the turnover of professionals and students that
hinders the continuity of the teaching / learning process; f) most professionals, from
Naeh, have an effective link in Seduce-GO, but they are crowded in other
educational institutions and only complement the workload in this kind of service; g)
although there is no resistance regarding the hiring of teachers and preference for
the hiring of teachers, most of the professionals who work in the Pedagogical
Hospital / Home Care, in the management and teaching positions, are women; h)
those responsible are all female and do not perform paid work outside the home to
accompany the child in health treatment; i) the majority of those interviewed declare
that they prefer teachers because of the issue of caring and educating, recognized by
them, as a feminine activity; j) those responsible state that they learned about the
Pediatric Hospital / Home Care at the hospital during the hospitalization of the child
and consider the activities of relevance to the beginning or continuity of school
activities, as well as social interrelations. In this way, the elements constituting the
look of pedagogical work were presented and analyzed, in the Pedagogical Hospital /
Home Care Service in Goiás, which still has a long way to go in order to achieve
inclusion and equal rights
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
