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

However, a significant disconnect persists between academic research and practitioner needs, with the latter relying on industry standards for real-world implementation of ethical principles. These emerging standards, while promising, remain untested and face numerous challenges in effectively governing the complex and dynamic field of AI. This dissertation examines the standardization of AI governance, adopting a constrained optimization approach to improve AI standards. The research addresses three key questions: (1) What are the system-level requirements for standardization as a governance framework for human-centered AI systems? (2) What are the unit-level requirements for standards as a governance instrument for human-centered AI systems? (3) How can AI Risk Standards be designed to achieve better outcomes in the development of human-centered AI systems? Through three empirical contributions, this work aims to enhance emerging AI standards by focusing on the standards themselves, the AI practitioners who will implement them, and the organizational contexts in which they operate. The research provides practical guidance for AI practitioners tasked with implementing AI standards and offers recommendations for standard developing organizations. By addressing the challenges of AI governance through standardization, this dissertation contributes to the development of more effective, human-centered AI systems. It bridges the gap between theoretical principles and practical implementation, offering insights that can shape the future of AI governance and ensure the responsible development of AI technologies
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
The Great Recession’s Biggest Losers: The euro area’s jobless. CEPS Policy Insights No 2017-29/July 2017
Get PDFThe euro area continues to recover from the Great Recession, with several recent
publications offering optimistic assessments of the euro area’s economic performance.
The European Commission’s “Employment and Social Developments in Europe 2017”
report, for example, praises moderate economic growth and “solid net job creation” in a
“job-rich recovery”. While the European Commission acknowledged ongoing challenges
such as youth unemployment, it must also be recognised that the euro area’s recovery
has been piecemeal. Economic growth is encouraging, but it obscures the unemployed
millions who have not tasted the fruits of the recovery. The euro area’s labour market,
while posting gains, remains in a worse state than before the Great Recession. Nearly half
of the unemployed in the euro area have been jobless for over a year. In contrast with
the United States, Japan and other regions hit hard by the crisis, the euro area’s labour
market exemplifies the most enduring damage of the Great Recession. European
lawmakers need to soberly acknowledge the job market’s failures and take targeted
action, addressing the regions and demographics for whom the recovery is not working
