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
Representando a representatividade: identidade e gênero no teatro brasileiro contemporâneo
No full textNota-se, atualmente, um aumento significativo na quantidade de personagens transgêneros em filmes, séries e novelas. No entanto, essas representações são, quase sempre, entregues a atores cisgêneros. Renata Carvalho, atriz trans que estrela a peça O Evangelho segundo Jesus, Rainha do Céu, enceta um manifesto contra essa prática. Para ela, a ideia é promover uma reflexão, fazer com que atores cisgêneros entendam a causa e não aceitem papéis que poderiam ser representados por artistas transgêneros.
Palavras-chave: Abjeto, Censura, Entrevista, Inclusão, Transgênero.Currently, the number of transgender characters have significantly increased in movies, series and novels. However, these representations are almost always delivered to cisgender actors. Renata Carvalho, transgender actress starring The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven, starts a manifest against this practice. For her, the idea is to promote a reflection, to make cisgender actors understand the cause and with that do not accept roles that could be represented by transgender artists.

Ecos do Passado: O Sino e o Sineiro como Símbolos da História do Mundo e como Patrimônios Culturais Brasileiros
No full textThe study starts from the use of bells in China in the year 3000 BC and shows how they were incorporated into European civilization in the Middle Ages. Based on the book The History of the World in 100 Objects, by Neil MacGregor, director of the British Museum, the article aims to show the presence of bells and bellringersat significant moments in history. On Brazilian soil, the research portrays the use of the bell since the colonization of the country, in addition to debating the cultural influences in the execution of the bell sounds over time. The article is supported by the historians Le Goff (2016) andReis (2006), in addition to resorting to the sociologist Halbwachs (1990) to deal with collective memory. At the end, it is concluded that the representativeness of the bells is present in several historical moments. Currently, they are present due to their cultural importance and relevance in maintaining this tradition collectively.O estudo parte do uso dos sinos na China no ano 3000 a.C. e mostra como eles foram sendo incorporados à civilização europeia ainda na Idade Média. A partir do livro A História do Mundo em 100 Objetos, de Neil MacGregor, diretor do British Museum, o artigo objetiva mostrar a presença dos sinos e dos sineiros em significativos momentos da história. Em solo brasileiro, a pesquisa retrata a utilização do sino a partir da colonização do país, além de debater as influências culturais na execução dos sons dos sinos ao longo do tempo. O artigo se ampara nos historiadores Le Goff (2016) e Reis (2006), além de recorrer ao sociólogo Halbwachs (1990) para tratar sobre memória coletiva. Ao final, conclui-se que a representatividade dos sinos estão presentes em diversos momentos históricos. Na atualidade, eles se fazem presente pela importância cultural e relevância em manter essa tradição de forma coletiva
Memória, identidade e digitalização de bens culturais: o legado da Missão de Pesquisas Folclóricas no Brasil
No full textThe article rescues an unprecedented and visionary initiative. In 1938, Mário de Andrade notes the need to register popular cultural events at the risk of disappearing with the country's growing urbanization and sends a team to the North and Northeast of Brazil for the Folk Research Mission. The group brings together a legacy through sound and audiovisual records. After more than sixty years, the material was digitized and today it is one of the most important Brazilian cultural records. The study points out this diligence as a precursor in search of a preservationist conscience on Brazilian soil, since it advocates the importance of registering materials on cultural heritage and its enormous relevance for the preservation of memories and identities. In this way, the objective of the article is to highlight the new procedures for the conservation, dissemination and diffusion of cultural heritage in contemporary times. The methodology used is to analyze both the formatting of a physical product with digitized materials, and the development of a web platform with significant possibilities for the preservation and diffusion of cultural heritage. The study uses the theory of late modernity to talk about the continuity of traditions that are reincorporated and reinvented in cyberspace. The research results seek to broaden the debate about the importance of digitizing documents on cultural heritage and their consequent preservation. It is concluded, therefore, that digitalization can become a repository capable of conserving and disseminating the cultural values of a heritage, contributing to the preservation of memories and the formation of identities.O artigo resgata uma iniciativa inédita e visionária. Em 1938, Mário de Andrade constata a necessidade de registrar manifestações culturais populares sob o risco de desaparecer com a crescente urbanização do país e envia uma equipe ao Norte e Nordeste do Brasil para a Missão de Pesquisas Folclóricas. O grupo reúne um legado por meio de registros sonoros e audiovisuais. Passados mais de sessenta anos, o material foi digitalizado e hoje é um dos mais importantes registros culturais brasileiros. O estudo aponta essa diligência como percursora em busca de uma consciência preservacionista em solo brasileiro, já que preconiza a importância do registro de materiais sobre patrimônios culturais e sua enorme relevância para a preservação de memórias e identidades. Deste modo, o objetivo do artigo é alumbrar sobre os novos procedimentos de conservação, divulgação e difusão de bens culturais na contemporaneidade. A metodologia empregada é analisar tanto a formatação de um produto físico com materiais digitalizados quanto o desenvolvimento de uma plataforma web com possibilidades significativas para a preservação e difusão de bens culturais. O estudo recorre a teoria da modernidade tardia para dissertar sobre o caráter de continuidade de tradições que são reincorporadas e reinventadas no ciberespaço. Os resultados da pesquisa buscam ampliar o debate sobre a importância da digitalização de documentos sobre patrimônios culturais e sua consequente preservação. Conclui-se, portanto, que a digitalização pode tornar-se um repositório capaz de conservar e difundir os valores culturais de um patrimônio, contribuindo com a preservação de memórias e a formação de identidades
