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
Spatial Politics of Infrastructure:The Governance of Metro in Wuxi, China
No full text本文探討在中國特殊的政治經濟發展脈絡下，基礎設施如何在二三線城市中發揮其都市治理的效果，並影響城市居民的日常生活。以無錫地鐵的建造開發為例，作者通過參與式觀察和訪談，結合新聞與網絡資料，獲得以下發現：首先，在中國軌道交通發展的脈絡下，地鐵本身成為國家鞏固政治權力的工程機器，無錫在其地方自治的絕對政治權力操控下，使地鐵成為各種權力和資本運作機制下的產物。其次，聚焦於城市尺度來看，地鐵建設導致城市實質空間解構，社會資源重新配置，並意圖藉此促生一個籠罩在地鐵「現代化」下的大都會城市。不過，無錫的市民行動者穩固且趨向飽和的社會結構，卻無法與都市空間結構一樣輕易的被地鐵重新定義；權力幻想與生活的真實性，產生了巨大的落差與碰撞。第三，從微觀的車廂場站角度觀之，握有權力者的意向具體展現於地鐵空間設計，意圖將其都市治理概念內化於市民行動者的意識形態，但其都市治理術本身卻與實際的市民行動者產生自我利益上的矛盾，致使其權力最終只能管制固態的空間設計，難以規制真實的乘客行為。看似弔詭的無錫地鐵建設，體現的其實是中國二三線城市內，政治權力與資本權力的互惠互利，以及真實生活邏輯與權力意識的互相碰撞
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

No full textAppropriate 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
