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
Ubiquidade, mobilidade, conexão e selfies: os softwares estão entre nós
Get PDFThis article aims to understand how behaviors reinvent themselves over time and reflect cultural values, patterns and important characteristics that, with the help of new analysis tools, gain another look and dimension. It shows how people\u27s relationships with body and images are transferred into a context of connection and constant mobility – working the selfie subgenre photographic. Studies by authors such as Sherry Turkle and Lucia Santaella and Lev Manovich are reviewed, and a work of data analysis of the social network Instagram of the latter author, entitled SelfieCity, is described. Finally, an experimental proposal is presented to observe self-data in the city of Porto Alegre/RS and it is assumed that the representations in the virtual spaces are crossed by ruptures and experiments depending on the historical and cultural trajectory of the users, with their movements and desires.
A través del concepto de ubicuidad, este artículo tiene como objetivo comprender cómo los comportamientos se reinventan con el tiempo y reflejan valores culturales, patrones y características importantes que, con la ayuda de nuevas herramientas de análisis, adquieren otro aspecto y dimensión. Muestra cómo las relaciones de las personas con el cuerpo y las imágenes se transfieren a un contexto de constante conexión y movilidad, trabajando en el subgénero fotográfico selfie. Se revisan los estudios de autores como Sherry Turkle, Lucia Santaella y Lev Manovich, y se describe un trabajo que analiza datos de la red social de Instagram titulado SelfieCity. Finalmente, se presenta una propuesta experimental para observar datos de selfies en la ciudad de Porto Alegre / RS y se supone que las representaciones en los espacios virtuales aparecen atravesadas por interrupciones y experimentos dependientes de la trayectoria histórica y cultural de los usuarios, con sus movimientos y deseos. .Este artigo objetiva por meio do conceito de ubiquidade entender como os comportamentos reinventam-se com o tempo e refletem valores culturais, padrões e características importantes que, com o auxílio de novas ferramentas de análise, ganham outro olhar e dimensão.

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

Previous issue date: 2009-12-10As revistas femininas existem no Brasil desde o s?culo XIX, e surgiram em paralelo ao aparecimento da Imprensa no pa?s. No entanto, foi somente nos ?ltimos dez anos, com a implanta??o de cursos de gradua??o com enfoque na Moda, que as publica??es cient?ficas sobre o assunto, como livros e trabalhos acad?micos, tomaram for?a. Apesar de j? existirem registros sobre o segmento da Moda, dentro dos estudos sociais de Comunica??o, ainda ? bastante dif?cil compreender o fen?meno sob essa perspectiva. Assim, a fim de colocar em pr?tica an?lises sobre a Comunica??o e a Moda, tendo em vista a capacidade de di?logo que ambas podem estabelecer, propusemo-nos a lan?ar um olhar sobre imagens e textos de Moda, veiculados em seis reportagens da Revista Claudia, nos anos 1988, 1998 e 2008. Nossas reflex?es ser?o ancoradas na Dial?tica Hist?rico-Estrutural (DHE), tendo, como t?cnica metodol?gica, a Semiologia. As categorias de an?lise a priori, constitu?das atrav?s dos pressupostos de Roland Bathes, s?o : Fotografia, Cultura, Poder, Mito e Socioleto, com o surgimento a posteriori das categorias Cor e Repeti??o. Portanto, na primeira etapa do trabalho, traremos um breve resgate sobre a hist?ria das revistas na imprensa brasileira. A seguir, lembraremos dos formatos e conte?dos que eram abordados. Por conseguinte, falaremos da continuidade e perman?ncia de uma imprensa voltada para as mulheres ou feita por elas. Citaremos exemplos de momentos pol?ticos marcantes para a imprensa do pa?s e, sua rela??o com as revistas ilustradas. Traremos ? tona a segmenta??o das revistas, bem como as principais publica??es voltadas ao nicho da mulher e, em especial, a Moda. Depois, focaremos na Revista Claudia e contaremos sua trajet?ria. Ap?s, apresentaremos a teoria-base de nossa pesquisa. Na segunda etapa realizamos a leitura semiol?gica das reportagens e observamos as evid?ncias. Salientamos que, os sentidos produzidos por n?s, relacionam-se com o momento hist?rico e social atual, sem fugir da nossa interpreta??o como pesquisadores. Trata-se assim, de somente uma das verdades poss?veis de serem ditas
