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
Von Kriminalitätsfurcht zu Feindseligkeit
No full textThe perception of crime and the devaluation of minority groups are closely intertwined. In this book, six interdisciplinary articles analyze the dynamics of crime perception over time, based on a representative German longitudinal study. Quantitative analyses of data from four points in time between 2022 and 2023 offer insights into the social, psychological and contextual causes and consequences of the perception and fear of crime. The volume offers researchers in criminology and related disciplines, political decision-makers and practitioners data-based findings for prevention measures and social discussions. With contributions by Henrik Andersen | Frank Asbrock | Rowenia Bender | Jasper Bendler | Oliver Christ | Thomas Feltes | Jennifer Laura Führer | Pascal Gelfort | Eva Groß | Joachim Häfele | Stefanie Kemme | Christoph Meißelbach | Reinhold Melcher | Thomas Kessler | Clemens Lindner | Jochen Mayerl | Deliah WagnerPublishedKriminalitätswahrnehmung und Abwertung von Fremdgruppen sind eng miteinander verbunden. Die Autor:innen dieses Sammelbandes analysieren in sechs interdisziplinären Beiträgen Dynamiken der Kriminalitätswahrnehmung im Zeitverlauf, basierend auf einer deutschlandweiten Längsschnittstudie. Quantitative Analysen von Daten aus vier Messzeitpunkten zwischen 2022 und 2023 bieten Einblicke in die gesellschaftlichen, psychologischen und kontextuellen Ursachen und Folgen der Kriminalitätswahrnehmung und Kriminalitätsfurcht. Der Band bietet für Forschende der Kriminologie und angrenzender Disziplinen, politische Entscheidungsträger:innen und Praktiker:innen datenbasierte Erkenntnisse für Präventionsmaßnahmen und gesellschaftliche Diskussionen.

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
The Low-Cost Hypothesis Is Not Enough. An Empirical Test of Variants of the Model of Frame-Selection for Improving the Prediction of the Influence of Attitudes on Behavior
Full text linkDer Beitrag verfolgt das Ziel, die Low-Cost-Hypothese im theoretischen Rahmen des Modells der Frame-Selektion (MFS) zu rekonstruieren und Hypothesen über den Einfluss von Einstellungen auf Verhalten in High- und Low-Cost-Situationen abzuleiten. In diesem Kontext werden die Modellvarianten des MFS nach Esser und Kroneberg sowie das vom Autor vorgeschlagene Modell der Frame-Selektion mit Exit-Option aus dem automatisch-spontanen Modus (MFSE) einander gegenübergestellt und ihre jeweiligen Implikationen für die Modellierung von Low-Cost-Situationen diskutiert. Die abgeleiteten Hypothesen werden auf der Basis von Daten aus einer telefonischen Umfrage empirisch getestet. Gegenstand dieser empirischen Untersuchung ist das Geldspenden an soziale Hilfsorganisationen. Die Operationalisierung von Low- und High-Cost-Situationen erfolgt über das Äquivalenzeinkommen der Befragten. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich mittels Strukturgleichungsmodellen, dass die Vorhersagen des MFSE zutreffen, die anderen MFS-Varianten sowie die Low-Cost-Hypothese sich empirisch hingegen nicht bewähren. Demnach sind Einstellungen dann am einflussreichsten, wenn ihre kognitive Zugänglichkeit bzw. ihr „Match“ hoch ist und es sich um eine Low-Cost-Situation handelt.This article presents a theoretical reconstruction of the low-cost hypothesis in the context of the model of frame selection (MFS) in order to predict the influence of attitudes on behavior in low-cost and high-cost situations. Variants of the MFS by Esser, Kroneberg and my own model of frame selection with exit option out of the automatic mode (MFSE) are compared on a conceptual level in order to discuss their implications for modelling low-cost situations. The theoretical assumptions are empirically tested with structural equation models using data from a CATI-survey of donating to social charity organizations. Low- and high-cost situations are measured by respondents’ equivalent income. The empirical results show evidence in favor of the predictions of the MFSE, while the predictions of the other variants of the MFS as well as of the low-cost hypothesis are not supported by the data. This indicates that attitudes are most predictive if their cognitive accessibility, or match, is high and the decision is made in a low-cost situation
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
