Asexuality linked to disability or trauma
No full textThis dataset includes primary sources used and analyzed in my work on the article entitled "Contested intersections: Asexuality and disability, illness, or trauma”. The dataset includes bibliographic information on the sources used as well as analytical categories used in the analysis.This collection of primary texts is a result of an extensive search online for personal and theoretical accounts of asexuality intersecting with disability or sexual trauma. The texts were published on personal blogs and in AZE journal between 2015 and 2023. The constitute an important resource for researchers interested in personal accounts of asexuality and particularly the marginalization of asexual voices that go counter to the dominant narrative about sexual identity, emphasizing the impact of trauma or disability on their sexuality.Abstract of the publication:This article analyzes the personal writings of asexual people for whom their identity is connected to disability, illness, or trauma. Asexuality is typically understood as an inherent sexual orientation that is neither caused by nor linked to disability or physiological and psychological issues. This approach has allowed asexuality to be widely accepted as an element of human sexual diversity and protects asexual people against unwanted medical intervention. Yet, disability, illness, or trauma informs some asexual people’s sexuality. Attending to their perspectives results in broadening contemporary conceptualizations of asexuality beyond the model of essentialist sexual orientation and contributes to destigmatizing asexual identities that are entangled with disability, illness, or trauma.</p
Asexuality in popular culture
No full textThe dataset consists of sources used and analysed in the work on the chapter 'The ace art of failure: Asexuality and BoJack Horseman'. These include television shows, films and one comic book with asexual motifs, as well as popular and academic articles on representations of asexuality and, more specifically, asexuality in the 'BoJack Horseman' series.Abstract of the related publication:As asexuality is gaining visibility and recognition as a sexual identity, one area of particular interest for the ace community and researchers alike is popular culture. Recently, some television shows included asexual characters who were not only explicitly referred to as such, but who were also granted complex storylines. The most prominent ace character of recent years is Todd Chavez of the animated TV show for adults, BoJack Horseman (Netflix, 2014–20). Over the course of six seasons, Todd realises he is asexual, comes out, finds a community for himself, and eventually settles down with a girlfriend. This relatively straightforward trajectory of Todd’s personal life is contrasted with the vagaries of his career, which oscillates between great but fleeting success and utter failure. Asexuality depicted in BoJack turns out to be incompatible with capitalist success and heteronormative relationships, but it does offer an alternative in the form of a queer organisation of life focused on friendship.</p
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
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
