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
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
ФЕДЕРАТИВНА РЕСПУБЛІКА НІМЕЧЧИНА – ДРУГА НІМЕЦЬКА ДЕМОКРАТИЧНА ДЕРЖАВА
Get PDFУ статті розкриваються основні етапи досвіду сучасної Німеччини у побудові парламентської демократії. Автором охарактеризовано історичний поступ німецької держави на шляху до формування демократичних засад, що лягли в основу сучасного суспільства. Розглянуто три німецькі конституції 1871, 1919 та 1949 рр., які створили собою базис для розвитку післявоєнної федеративної держави. Особливу увагу сфокусовано на трансформації трьох західних окупаційних зон Німеччини у Федеративну Республіку Німеччина та розробці Основного закону, який спочатку розглядався як тимчасова конституція. Автор зупинив свою увагу і на зовнішніх чинниках, які істотно вплинули на трансформацію пост-нацистської Німеччини та на формування Основного закону. Історична ретроспектива формування другої німецької демократичної держави представлена у широкому міжнародному контексті.The article describes the main stages of modern Germany’s experience in building of the parliamentary democracy. The author defines the historical progress of the German state on the wayto the formation of democratic foundations that created the basis of modern society. Three German constitutions of 1871, 1919 and 1949 were considered, they formed the basis for the development of apostwar federal state. Particular attention is focused on the transformation of the three western occupation zones of Germany into the Federal Republic of Germany and the development of the BasicLaw, which was initially regarded as temporary constitution. The author also drew attention to external factors that significantly influenced the transformation of post-Nazi Germany and theformation of the Basic Law. The historical retrospective of the formation of the second German democratic state is presented in a broad international context
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
ЯЛТИНСЬКА КОНФЕРЕНЦІЯ ДЕРЖАВ «ВЕЛИКОЇ ТРІЙКИ» 1945 Р. І ВИХІД УКРАЇНИ НА МІЖНАРОДНУ АРЕНУ
Get PDFУ статті здійснено аналіз рішень Ялтинської міжнародної конференції лідерів трьох союзницьких держав СРСР, США і Великої Британії щодо розв’язання ключових питань завершального етапу війни із нацистською Німеччиною і її сателітами: координації воєнних заходів, створення чотирьох окупаційних зон на її території, задекларованої спільної мети щодо беззастережної капітуляції і принципів повоєнної демілітаризації та денацифікації Німеччини, справедливого покарання всіх воєнних злочинців, відшкодування збитків, заподіяних гітлерівцями і створення Міжсоюзної контрольної комісії у Москві.
У статті розглядаються узгоджені рішення стосовно створення постійного механізму для регулярних консультацій між трьома міністрами закордонних справ союзних держав, відносно повоєнного облаштування Європи і світу, засад політики союзників на визволених територіях. З’ясовуються умови cтворення нової системи взаємовідносин і сфер впливу великих держав у світі. Окремо аналізуються рішення союзників відносно створення ООН і включення України до країн-засновниць цієї міжнародної організації, а також розкриваються питання її міжнародної правосуб’єктності у повоєнні десятиліття.The article analyzes the decisions of the Yalta international conference of the leaders of the Allied States, i.e. USSR, USA and UK, aimed at solving the key issues of the final stage of war with Nazi Germany and its satellites: coordination of military activities, creation of four occupation zones on German territory, declared common goal of unconditional surrender as well as the principles of the post-war demilitarization and denazification of Germany, just punishment of war criminals, compensation for damages caused by the Nazis and creation of the inter-Alliance Control Commission in Moscow.
The article considers the agreed decisions on establishing a permanent mechanism for regular consultations among the three Foreign Ministers of the Allied States related to post-war arrangement and order in Europe and the world as well as the Allies’ policy on liberated territories.
