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
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
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
Multiple readings of the mining landscape in Lavreotiki (SE Attica, Greece)
Full text linkΑπό την ευρεία εκμετάλλευση των μεταλλευμάτων του παρελθόντος μέχρι την προστατευόμενη έκταση του Εθνικού Δρυμού Σουνίου του παρόντος, η περιοχή της Λαυρεωτικής έχει διαχρονικά συσχετιστεί με τον υπόγειο πλούτο της και αποτέλεσε κέντρο ανθρώπινων δραστηριοτήτων και παρεμβάσεων ήδη από τη Νεολιθική Εποχή. Στις μέρες μας, το τοπίο της, όπως διαμορφώνεται από λόφους, κοιλάδες και την ακτογραμμή της ΝΑ Αττικής, περιλαμβάνει μια πληθώρα χρήσεων γης, όπως οικισμούς (παραδοσιακούς ή σύγχρονους), μεμονωμένες κατοικίες (νόμιμες ή αυθαίρετες, στα παράλια ή στην ενδοχώρα), αγροκτήματα και αγροτικές εκτάσεις (κυρίως αμπελώνες και ελαιώνες), ακατοίκητες εκτάσεις, δρόμους και μονοπάτια, βιομηχανικές μονάδες, τουριστικά καταλύματα, γεωλογικούς σχηματισμούς, αρχαιολογικές και ιστορικές θέσεις και μνημεία, ερειπιώνες, δασώσεις περιοχές και φρυγανότοπους. Το στοιχείο που συνδέει όλα αυτά τα διαφορετικά περιβάλλοντα ήταν από παλιά τα μεταλλοφόρα κοιτάσματα της περιοχής, που στάθηκαν πόλος έλξης για τον άνθρωπο (από την Προϊστορική εποχή ως τα Κλασικά χρόνια και ξανά από το 1865 ως τη δεκαετία του 1970 κατά τον 20ο αιώνα). Η εκμετάλλευση τους καθόρισε το τοπίο με πολλαπλούς τρόπους, αφήνοντας βαθιά ίχνη. Αυτή η ανακοίνωση έχει ως στόχο να εξερευνήσει τις πολλές και διαφορετικές πτυχές του τοπίου της Λαυρεωτικής, να ερμηνεύσει τα χαρακτηριστικά του ως αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς της περιοχής και να συζητήσει τις δυνατότητες ανάπτυξης μιας περιοχής που αποτελεί «ένα καλά κρυμμένο μυστικό της Αττικής»From the widespread mineral exploitation of the past to the protected territory of the Sounion National Park in the present, the region of Lavreotiki has diachronically been at the centre of human activities and experiences. Nowadays, the landscape of the region, as defined by hills, valleys and the coastline at the SE of Attica, includes a variety of land uses, such as settlements (with prevailing traditional or contemporary styles), isolated properties (legal or illegal, inland or by the coast), agricultural lands (mainly vineyards and olive groves), uninhabited areas, roads, pathways and other transport routes, industrial units, tourist complexes, geological formations, archaeological and historical sites and landmarks, protected forest and shrub areas. However, the connecting element between them all has always been the large multi-metallic ore deposits found underground - their exploitation has shaped the landscape diachronically in a multitude of ways. This paper aims to explore the multiple facets of the landscape, interpret its characteristics as part of the diachronic heritage of the region and discuss its potential as an ‘off the beaten track’ place to visit
