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
CINESÊNIOR: UM OLHAR SOBRE A AUTORIA DIGITAL DE IDOSOS NA CRIAÇÃO DE FILMES EM STOP MOTION
Full text linkO presente artigo tem como intuito identificar as contribuições da criação de filmes em stop motion por idosos para a construção da competência Autoria Digital. Nos últimos anos, além do crescimento na população mais velha brasileira, observa-se que alguns idosos demonstram interesse em aprender a utilizar tecnologias digitais para criar conteúdos audiovisuais. Entretanto, ao produzir filmes são necessárias competências digitais para atuar com as tecnologias. A metodologia caracteriza-se como qualitativa, de natureza aplicada, sendo exploratória do tipo estudo de caso. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados questionários on-line e observação participante. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram dois grupos. O primeiro foi composto por 31 idosos com idades entre 60 e 89 anos que já possuíam noções básicas de informática que participaram do curso CineSênior em 2021. O segundo foi constituído por 17 especialistas com idades entre 36 e 62 anos que validaram a competência “Criar filmes utilizando a técnica de stop motion”. A partir da análise dos dados, constatou-se que a maior motivação para produção do filme (35,3%) foi de expressar as vivências pessoais na pandemia de COVID-19. Ademais, foi possível mapear e validar a competência supracitada que faz parte do conjunto da Autoria Digital. Nesse contexto, acredita-se que cursos que tenham como foco a produção de filmes em stop motion, podem contribuir para uma perspectiva autoral e ativa dos idosos na sociedade
Arquitetura pedagógica com foco na autoria digital de idosos: um olhar sobre a aprendizagem criativa
Full text linkAbstract: This research aims to present a pedagogical architecture developed with a focus on digital authorship for the construction of stop motion films by the older person. The pandemic scenario required remote alternatives for the continuation of classes, making it necessary for teachers to adapt plans to the new reality. Pedagogical Architecture can help teachers to develop practices aimed at Creative Learning, since it is made up of aspects that guide the planning of pedagogical activities. Creative Learning is a pedagogical approach in which the aim is to make educational environments more creative and playful. Thus, it is believed that a Pedagogical Architecture based on Creative Learning can be developed for the elderly to create films with the stop motion technique. The methodology is qualitative, applied in nature, being exploratory in the case study type. Two types of instruments were used for data collection: participant observation and online questionnaires. Therefore, through the pedagogical proposal, 32 older person attended the CineSenior course in 2021, all of them carried out the audiovisual production and highlighted that 93,75% (n=30) liked being digital authors and 6,25% (n=2) did not like it, preferring to be spectators. As a result, it was observed that the proposed architecture proved to be efficient for group 60+ interested in building stop motion films, making creative learning for this public.

Creative Learning.Resumo: Esta pesquisa visa apresentar uma Arquitetura Pedagógica desenvolvida com foco na autoria digital para construção de filmes em stop motion pelos idosos. O cenário pandêmico exigiu alternativas remotas para o prosseguimento das aulas, sendo necessário que os docentes adaptassem os planejamentos à nova realidade. Nesse viés, a Arquitetura Pedagógica pode auxiliar os professores em desenvolver práticas voltadas à Aprendizagem Criativa, já que é constituída de aspectos que orientam no planejamento das atividades pedagógicas. A Aprendizagem Criativa é uma abordagem pedagógica no qual o intuito é tornar os ambientes educacionais mais criativos e lúdicos. Assim, acredita-se que se pode desenvolver uma Arquitetura Pedagógica baseada na Aprendizagem Criativa para idosos criarem filmes com a técnica de stop motion. A metodologia é qualitativa, de natureza aplicada, sendo exploratória do tipo estudo de caso. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados dois tipos de instrumentos: observação participante e questionários on-line. Portanto, por meio da proposta pedagógica 32 idosos cursaram o curso CineSênior em 2021 todos realizaram a produção audiovisual e destacaram que 93,75% (n=30) gostaram de ser autores digitais e 6,25%(n=2) não gostaram preferindo ser espectadores. Como resultado observou que a arquitetura proposta se mostrou eficiente para idosos com interesse em construir filmes em stop motion, tornando a aprendizagem criativa para este público.
