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
Doğanın Hak Öznesi Olarak Kabulü
No full textDoğanın Haklarının tanınması son yıllarda çeşitli anayasal, yasal ve yargısal düzenlemelerle tesis edilmiştir. Bu gelişme ile insan dışındaki varlıklar ve doğal sistemler için yasal koruma sağlanması amaçlamaktadır.Doğanın hak sahibi olması fikri, savunucular tarafından çevresel tehditlere karşı geliştirilen yeni bir yanıt olarak görülmektedir çünkü bazı ülkeler Doğanın Haklarının tanınması konusunda ilerleme kaydetmiş olsalar da doğa hala insan yararı için sömürülmesi gereken bir kaynak olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada genel hatlarıyla Doğanın Hakları kavramı açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu kapsamda hakkın ortaya çıkışındaki önemli gelişmelere ve yapılan tartışmalara yer verilmiştir
Türkiye’de demokratik hukuk devleti düzeninde insan onurunun yeri
No full textİnsan onuru, özellikle batı ülkelerinde felsefe, etik, ilahiyat, hukuk gibi alanlarda temel tartışma konularından birisidir. Buna rağmen ne karşılaştırmalı hukukta ne de iç hukukumuzda insan onurunun tatmin edici ve somut bir tanımı yapılmamıştır. İnsan haklarının dayandığı temel değer olarak insan onurunun devletler tarafından anayasalarında güvence altına alınması özellikle, II. Dünya Savaşı’ndan sonra mümkün olabilmiştir. Bu sebeple kavram oldukça kısa bir süredir hukuksal korunmadan yararlanmaktadır. İnsanın sadece insan olması sebebiyle taşıdığıdeğer olarak insan onurunun korunması demokratik hukuk devletinin temel amacıdır. Bu sebeple demokratik hukuk devleti düzeninde insanı obje durumuna getiren düzenlemelerden kaçınılmalı, insana bir obje olarak davranan kişiler ise cezalandırılmalıdır. İnsan onuruna yönelik ihlalleri engellemenin ve onu bu ihlallerden korunmanın en etkili yolu demokratik hukuk devletinin varlığıdır. Fakat demokratik hukuk devleti ilkesinin ihlalleri engellemek için tek başına yeterli olmadığı, bu ilkenin sosyal devlet ilkesi ile birlikte değerlendirilmesi gerektiği unutulmamalıdır. Neticede, sosyal devlet ilkesinin gereği olarak herkese insan onuruna yakışan asgari bir yaşam düzeyinin sağlanması anayasal açıdan da bir zorunluluktur. İnsan onurunun insan haklarıyla ilişkisinin bir sonucu olarak insan hak ve özgürlükleri ile insan onuru arasındaki bağlantının da iyi irdelenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çerçevede özellikle kişinin dokunulmazlığı, maddi ve manevi varlığı, özel hayatının gizliliğinin korunması, zorla çalıştırılma yasağı, düşünce ve kanaat özgürlüğü ve din ve vicdan özgürlüğü ile sosyal haklar ve insan onuru arasındaki bağlantının incelenmesi önemlidir. ABSTRACT Human dignity is a major discussion issue in philosophy, theology and law especially in western countries. However there isn’t any concrete and satisfactory definition either in our domestic law or in comparative law. The human dignity as an essential value, that human rights rely on, could had been secured by the states in their constitutions especially after the Second World War. Therefore, the concept has been benefiting from the jurisdical protection only for a short time. The main pupose of the democratic legal state is the protection of human dignity as it’s the essence of humanity possessed by humans just for being human. As a result, that regulations, that turns humans in to objects should be avoided and the people who would treat human in such way should be punished under the rule of a democratic legal state. The most efficient way to prevent the violations against the human dignity and to secure it from them is the existence of a democratic legal state. But one should always consider that democratic legal state principal is not selfsufficient and has to be evaluated in line with the social state principal. Finally, it’s also a constitutionally obligation based on the principal of social state to maintain a minimum living standart for everyone, which satisfies the human dignity. In this context, personal inviolability, material and spiritual entity of the ındividual, protecting privacy of private life, prohibition of forced labour, freedom of thought, regilion and consicence along with the social rights has to be further studied under the scope of human dignity
