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
Love, Family and Responsability
No full textThe institution of the family has been under ideological attack
at least ever since the 19th century. Admittedly, the family in its
historical reality is the place of numerous problems, including violence
and disordered power structures. The solution to these difficulties, however,
cannot be the abolition of the family, given that it is precisely in
the web of family relationships, centered on generativity, that human
beings find their primary identity, their whence and whither. The solution
to the problems experienced in and by the family must rather be found
in the Christian Gospel message that is capable of healing family relationships
by giving people an unconditional acceptance, preparing
the way to forgiveness and opening the family up to love’s fruitfulness
and hospitality. One important way of taking responsibility for the love
that is at the heart of the family is the affective formation in the virtue of
chastity. Spouses need to develop this virtue and educate their children
in it. For young people chastity is not the repression of their sexuality, but
rather the orientation of one’s sexual desire to one’s future spouse. The
abstinence that is implied is thus seen in the horizon of a life-vocation.La institución de la familia ha estado bajo ataque ideológico
al menos desde el siglo XIX. Es cierto que la familia en su realidad histórica
es el lugar de numerosos problemas, incluyendo la violencia y las estructuras
de poder desordenadas. La solución a estas dificultades, sin embargo, no
puede ser la abolición de la familia, ya que es precisamente en el entramado
de las relaciones familiares, centradas en la generatividad, donde el ser humano
encuentra su identidad primaria, de dónde y hacia dónde. La solución
a los problemas experimentados en y por la familia debe encontrarse más
bien en el mensaje cristiano evangélico, capaz de sanar las relaciones familiares,
dando a las personas una aceptación incondicional, preparando el camino al perdón y abriendo la familia a la fecundidad y a la hospitalidad
del amor. Una manera importante de asumir la responsabilidad del amor
que está en el corazón de la familia es la formación afectiva en la virtud de
la castidad. Los esposos necesitan desarrollar esta virtud y educar a sus hijos
en ella. Para los jóvenes, la castidad no es la represión de su sexualidad, sino
la orientación de su deseo sexual hacia su futuro cónyuge. La abstinencia
prematrimonial se ve así en el horizonte de una vocación de vida
Historyczne i teoretyczne tło Veritatis splendor
Get PDFAbstract: This paper examines the historical and theoretical background of Veritatis Splendor, John Paul II’s encyclical letter specifically devoted to fundamental moral theology. With the reforms of the Council of Trent, moral theology had taken a juridical turn, being understood primarily as a discipline for confessors. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the resulting manualist tradition was increasingly seen as inadequate, unable to speak to people’s lives. At the same time, the two world wars impetus the philosophical movement of existentialism. Through situation ethics, some tendencies of existentialist thought found their way into moral theology. Pius XII saw the need to respond to this development. The Second Vatican Council was regarded as an opportunity for a new presentation of moral theology that would overcome the limits of manualism and pay more attention to questions of conscience, the use of Scripture, and the emphasis on Christian discipleship. The Fathers rejected the draft originally prepared by a dedicated commission as inadequate, but they were unable to produce a new text. However, at least some issues of moral theology were discussed in other conciliar writings, notably Gaudium et spes and Optatam totius. The publication of Humanae vitae in 1968 proved to be a catalyst for some of the most difficult and central questions of fundamental moral theology, including the topic of intrinsically evil acts. In 1987, John Paul II finally announced that the Holy See would publish a document devoted to these issues. This text saw the light of day six years later and took the name Veritatis Splendor.Niniejszy artykuł analizuje historyczne i teoretyczne tło Veritatis splendor, encykliki Jana Pawła II poświęconej w szczególności fundamentom teologii moralnej. Wraz z reformami Soboru Trydenckiego, teologia moralna przybrała prawniczy obrót, będąc rozumiana przede wszystkim jako dyscyplina dla spowiedników. Pod koniec XIX i na początku XX wieku wynikająca z tego tradycja manualistyczna była coraz częściej postrzegana jako nieadekwatna i niezdolna, by przemawiać do ludzi. W tym samym czasie dwie wojny światowe dały impuls filozoficznemu ruchowi egzystencjalizmu. Poprzez etykę sytuacyjną niektóre tendencje myśli egzystencjalistycznej znalazły drogę do teologii moralnej. Pius XII dostrzegł potrzebę zareagowania na ten rozwój. Sobór Watykański II został uznany za okazję do nowej prezentacji teologii moralnej, która przezwyciężyłaby ograniczenia manualizmu i poświęciła więcej uwagi kwestiom sumienia, wykorzystaniu Pisma Świętego i naciskowi na fakt bycia uczniem Chrystusa. Ojcowie odrzucili jako nieadekwatny projekt pierwotnie przygotowany przez specjalną komisję, ale nie byli w stanie opracować nowego tekstu. Jednak przynajmniej niektóre kwestie teologii moralnej zostały omówione w innych pismach soborowych, zwłaszcza w Gaudium et spes i Optatam totius. Publikacja Humanae vitae w 1968 roku okazała się katalizatorem dla niektórych z najtrudniejszych i centralnych kwestii fundamentalnej teologii moralnej, w tym tematu czynów wewnętrznie złych. W 1987 roku Jan Paweł II ogłosił, że Stolica Apostolska opublikuje dokument poświęcony tym zagadnieniom. Sześć lat później tekst ten ujrzał światło dzienne i przyjął nazwę Veritatis splendor
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
