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

urbanom području) te se provodi na određenim linijama ili rutama te po planiranom

i trajekti, taksi. Javni prijevoz je vrsta prijevoza putnika ili tereta dostupna svim
korisnicima prijevoznih usluga pod istim uvjetima te se obavlja u komercijalne svrhe, radi
ostvarenja dobiti za stranu prijevoznika. U Europi postoji sofisticirana i sveobuhvatna mreža javnog prijevoza koja

uključuje široku mrežu državnih, županijskih i lokalnih cesta uz sustav autocesta na velike
udaljenosti. Pomorski prijevoz može se podijeliti na riječni promet i pomorski. Iako
elektrifikacija i dvokolosiječni kolosijeci nisu osobito rašireni u željezničkoj industriji, brzi

transport. The legal part that regulates public transport has been processed and the next
segment is European road, rail and inland waterways in relation to Croatian road, rail and
sea public transport. The capital cities Zagreb, Vienna, Oslo, Warsaw and Budapest were
further analyzed. After their comparison, there is a transition to integrated passenger
transport. In this part, the prerequisites for a successful integrated network, connection
with urban planning, legal provisions, impact on the environment, and finally the European
integrated systems are described. Public transport or mass transport describes one method of transporting people
(usually in an urban area), and is carried out on specific lines or routes and according to a
planned schedule. Types of public transport are: buses, trolleybuses, trains, metro, tram, boats and ferries, taxis. Public transport is a type of passenger or cargo transport available
to all users of transport services under the same conditions and is carried out for
commercial purposes, in order to make a profit for the carrier. Europe has a sophisticated and comprehensive public transport network that
connects urban, suburban and even rural areas. In order to reduce traffic, improve
environmental sustainability and improve the mobility of their residents, European
countries give priority to efficient and sustainable public transport. While in Croatia, road
transport includes a wide network of state, county and local roads along with a system of
long-distance highways. Maritime transport can be divided into river transport and
maritime transport. Although electrification and double-track tracks are not particularly
widespread in the railway industry, high-speed trains are used on several routes. The concept of the Integrated Passenger Transport system is the latest and best
modern way of organizing and managing public passenger transport
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
