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

Curriculum in Landscape ArchitectureThe world has to face serious globalization, rapid urbanization, population growth, energy
expenditures, food insecurity, and global climate change processes. Besides, Vietnam and especially
Ho Chi Minh city, is facing these global impacts. At the same time, it also faces internal issues such
as lack of open and accessible public spaces, greenery, healthy food, and community spirit and identity
loss. The study aims to find the potential for urban food growing by restoring and establishing a new
green and community spaces in the alley system of Ho Chi Minh city. The data and the methodology
will be divided into three sections What, Why, and How with six steps. Each step will use some
suitable methods to manage, examine data, and get the results. Because of the differences in steps,
several suitable methodologies would be introduced into each step. The study provides new insight
into the relationship between urban agriculture and "cultural landscape." The author could say that
urban agriculture or community garden is a good example of a "cultural landscape," or it is a "cultural
landscape." Besides, it could be confirmed that food and urban agriculture or community garden on a
small scale do not solve many global issues. To solve a global issue as food shortages or insecurity on
a large scale, urban agriculture itself cannot help to deal with; it needs to connect with rural food
growing and many different sectors. Food is not the main issue that needs to be solved in this study.
However, it is critical not only to create community spaces but also to bring back the places' spirits,
values, and identities.Maailm peab silmitsi seisma tõsise globaliseerumise, kiire linnastumise, rahvastiku kasvu,
energiakulu, toidupuuduse ja globaalsete kliimamuutuste protsessidega. Vietnam ja eriti Ho Chi
Minhi linn seisab nende globaalsete mõjude ees. Samal ajal ollakse vastamisi siseprobleemidega,
milleks on: avatud ja ligipääsetavate avalike ruumide puudumine, rohelus, tervislik toit ning
kogukonna vaimu ja identiteedikadu. Uuringu eesmärk on leida võimalused linnas toidu
kasvatamiseks, läbi uute rohe- ja kogukonnaruumide rajamise alleede süsteemis Ho Chi Minhi
linnas. Uuringu eesmärk on leida linnatoidu kasvatamise potentsiaal, taastades ning rajades uusi
roheruume ja kogukondlike ruume Ho Chi Mingi alleede süsteemides. Uuringu andmestik ja
metoodika jagatakse kolme jaotisse: Mis, Miks ja Kuidas kuue etapiga. Iga etapp kasutab andmete
haldamiseks, uurimiseks ja tulemuste saamiseks selleks vajalikku meetodit. Uuring annab uue
ülevaate linna agrikultuuri ja „kultuurmaastiku” vahelisest suhtest. Autor toob välja, et linna
agrikultuur või kogukondlik aed kuulub "kultuurmaastikku" või on selle hea näide. Võib kinnitada,
et toidu ja linna agrikultuur või kogukondlik aed väikeses ulatuses ei lahenda paljusid globaalseid
küsimusi. Selleks, et lahendada globaalseid probleeme, mis tulenevad toidu puudusest või
erinevatest teistest ebakindlustest suuremas mastaabis, ei saa linna agrikultuur seda üksi käsitleda,
vaid peab olema ühendatud maapiirkondade toidukasvatusega ning paljude teiste erinevate
sektoritega. Toit ei ole peamine probleem, mis tuleb selles uuringus lahendada. Siiski on oluline
mitte ainult luua ühiskondlikke ruume, vaid ka taastada kohtade hingelisus, väärtused ja identiteet
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
