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
Improving higher education in India : the students' and government's perceptions
Get PDFMestrado em Políticas e Gestão do Ensino SuperiorO ensino superior na Índia tem desempenhado um papel importante no
desenvolvimento económico e social do país. A educação é considerada como
uma ferramenta fundamental na promoção da cultura e da igualdade entre os
cidadãos. Embora sendo essencial para promover mais oportunidades para
todos, o aumento do auto-financiamento por parte das instituições de ensino
superior, em virtude das pressões governamentais, resultando, por vezes, em
privatizações, tornou a educação inacessível para alguns. Actualmente apenas
7%da população entre os 18 e os 24 anos participam no ensino superior.
Este estudo procura analisar as percepções do governo e dos estudantes
relativamente às diferentes formas que podem ser utilizadas para melhorar o
sistema de ensino superior.
Um estudo foi desenvolvido baseado na análise de conteúdo de documentos
oficiais do Ministério da Educação e do discurso dos estudantes recolhidos
através de 17 entrevistas. A análise revela diferenças entre as percepções do
governo e dos alunos às quais subjazem, igualmente, diferenças entre as
concepções que ambos possuem relativamente aos papéis consignados ao
ensino superior na sociedade.
ABSTRACT: Higher education in India has played a significant role in the economic as well
as social development. Education is considererd as an important tool to
promote country’s culture and equality amongst the citizens. Although it seems
essential to provide more opportunities to everyone, the growth of self-financing
institutions encouraged by the government, resulting in privatisation, has made
education out of reach. At present only 7 percent of youth in the age group of
18-24 participate in higher education.
This study tries to analyse government and students’ perceptions about the
different ways higher education in India can be improved. A qualitative study
was developed based on content analysis of government documents and 17
students’ interviews. The analysis reveals differences between students and
government perceptions that translate also different conceptions about higher
education roles in society
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

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
