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
At passe på børnene i mellem alle de voksne
No full textDer er de seneste år kommet større fokus på, at forskning der involverer mennesker, kalder på noget andet og mere hos forskeren end blot at efterleve overordnede etiske principper. Kapitlerne i del 2 i denne bog afspejler alle sammen det forhold, at kvalitativ forskning fordrer kontinuerlig refleksivitet og opmærksomhed på de særlige situationer, som forskningsprojektets deltagere er i. I forlængelse af dette perspektiv præsenterer jeg tre etiske begreber, som det især kan være vigtigt at reflektere over i forskningsprocessor med børn og unge. Endvidere beskriver jeg med afsæt i et konkret forskningsprojekt nogle af de etiske situationer, der kan opstå i forskerens arbejde
Inddragelse af børns og unges perspektiver i forskningen
No full textDette kapitel omhandler inddragelse af børns og unges perspektiver i forskning som etisk fordring og udfordring. Således argumenteres der først ud fra et demokratisk-etisk perspektivfor, at børn og unge bør inddrages i forskning, der vedrører deres eget liv såvel som forskning i mere generelle problemstilling. Denne argumentation udfolder sig med afsæt i en kritik og dekonstruktion af børns samfundsmæssige position, og af forskningens risiko for at bidrage hertil. Derefter vendes blikket mod Levinas filosofi-etik, som tilskriver, at etik handler om omsorg for den andens værdighed som et særegent menneske fremfor som blot og bart en kategori af menneskearten. Dette kan vi i forskning med børn og unge imødekomme gennem inddragelse med interesse for deres perspektiver og ydmyghed i forhold til, hvad vi tror, vi ved. Sidste halvdel af kapitlet omhandler udfordringer og etiske dilemmaer i inddragende forskning med børn og unge, dels relateret til hvis børnene og de unge ikke ønsker at deltage; dels i forhold til generaliserede codes of conducts, der i praksis kan komme i vejen for (etisk) inddragels
research Integrity and Conflicts of Interest
No full textDette kapitel omhandler integritetstematikken interessekonflikter, og hvordan disse kan forstås ift. kvalitativ, socialvidenskabelig forskning. Ved interesse- konflikter forstås overordnet set situationer, hvor de involverede parters interesser kan påvirke forskningens faglige soliditet og redelighed, altså dens integritet. Kapitlet bidrager til den dominerende forståelse af begrebet ved at argumentere for, at interessekonflikter er allestedsnærværende i kvalitativ forskning. Forskningen omhandler ofte problematikker inden for politiserede felter som børne- og ungeområdet og integrationsområdet, involverer omfattende, direkte interaktion mellem forskeren og forskningsdeltagerne og måske også de bevillingsgivende organisationer, og den er ikke mindst ofte finansieret af flere parter. Der argumenteres endvidere, at interessekonflikter kan opstå gennem hele forskningsprocessen og at det derfor er nødvendigt at anlægge et procesperspektiv på disse interessekonflikter
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
