Voting in Person in the 2020 Elections
No full textVote-by-Mail is dominating news headlines, but tens of millions of Americans will vote in person out of habit and to ensure that their ballot is counted. But in-person voting poses daunting challenges for election officials. The coronavirus makes it harder to recruit poll workers and may require election officials to find alternatives to the familiar poll locations of senior facilities and schools. Matthew Weil moderates a distinguished panel of election officials on September 1 at noon CT.

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
Attentional Bias Modification: Single Session Effects on Behavioural and Neurological Measures with High and Low Self-Esteem
No full textThe central idea of Attentional Bias Modification (ABM) has been that it can directly alter attentional biases by the use of computerized training procedures. Although ABM has advanced theoretically and methodologically in recent research, its clinical efficacy has been mixed. However the current study argues the strong potential for ABM to contribute as a psychological intervention, to the reduction of the formation of negative attentional biases. As contemporary models of depression and current literature reviews have emphasised the role of low self-esteem (SE) in the aetiology of depressive disorders, the current study investigated the causal role of SE on ABM efficacy. An independent groups design investigated behavioural and neurological differences in response to affective words based on participants Rosenberg Self-Esteem (RSES) scores. Forty participants (28 female) from a non-clinical sample completed a standard or ABM dotprobe task with 200 negative-neutral affective word pairs shown. Later, 10 words of both valence were memorised. Lastly, a delayed free recall task required participants to recall the 20 words. Event Related Potentials (ERP’s) were recorded using a 256 channel dense-array electroencephalogram (EEG) in three separate pre-defined regions of interest, across the 200-280, 320-400, and 600-900ms epochs. Response times and word recall data were also gathered. In the three regions of interest, amplitude was not significantly different between the 2 SE groups, when in different dot-probe conditions. Therefore no interaction effect of SE and dot-probe condition was found. However in the prefrontal line, the dot-probe task had a significant main effect on amplitude, this was reflected by an increased presence of the N2 ERP potential as the negative stimuli caused greater conflict of expectations in attentional deployment. There was also a significant effect of time and SE on amplitude, which reflected initial modulations from the stimuli viewed as positive amplitudes in the first epoch, but decreased amplitude as the modulation from stimuli reduced. In relation to behaviour results, there were no significant differences in the number of words recalled, or response bias between groups, in terms of negative word valence. Overall the results did not support the underlying assumptions of the ABM paradigm, however two potential factors were unaccounted for, being the effects of individual amounts of attentional control, and the large regional distribution that processes of SE are diversely performed in. Both past and future research which fail to successful apply a single session ABM dot probe task can discount self-esteem as a potential moderator
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
