Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Annie Pootoogook's visual representations of girlhood: acknowledging and recognizing the presence of Inuit girls
No full textAnnie Pootoogook (1969–2016) is the first Inuk artist credited with establishing Inuit art as contemporary and relevant. Few Western audiences interpret her work as visually communicating some of the ways Inuit girls individually and collectively asserted Inuit culture during the early stages of Canadian expansion into the Arctic. This study looks at Pootoogook's art in the context of Inuit girlhood to better understand Pootoogook's art as representative of girlhood situated in Kingnait (Cape Dorset), where the artist lived for most of her life. It draws on girlhood studies, an interdisciplinary subject area, to contextualize Inuit girlhood during a time when many Inuit were adapting to permanent settlements and to interpret the artist's drawings in relation to three broad areas of girlhood. First, it seeks to reframe Western notions about girls' 'bedroom culture' because in government-provided dwellings that lacked bedrooms, the Inuit girlhood practice of sewing animal skins branched out into graphic art. Second, the artist portrays Inuit traditional food as pleasant and a source to be shared. This contrasts with how food and body are typically studied in Western girlhoods. Third, it interrogates curatorial and media attention paid to images depicting intimate partner violence, attention that interpreted violence as an individual problem. The thesis disrupts this interpretation by viewing Pootoogook's work both as an invitation to reflect on structural violence directed at Indigenous girls and women and as contributing to a pan-Indigenous discussion about Indigenous sexuality. Overall the study seeks to uphold the tenth principle of reconciliation, partially defined by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada as public education and dialogue about Inuit historical and contemporary contributions to Canadian society. For educators interested in reciprocity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous through education, studying artwork by such a key Inuk artist can be considered a form of reconciliation in and of itself.ᓇᐃᓈᖅᓯᒪᔪᑎᒍᑦ ᐅᓂᒃᑳᖏᑦ ᐋᓂ ᐳᑐᒍᖅ (1969-2016) ᓯᕗᓪᓕᖅᐸᐅᓯᒪᕗᖅ ᐃᓄᒃ ᓴᓇᙳᐊᖅᑎ ᐃᓕᓴᕆᔭᐅᓯᒪᓪᓗᓂ ᐋᖅᑮᒃᓱᐃᓯᒪᓂᑰᓂᖓᓂᒃ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓴᓇᙳᐊᒐᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᐅᓪᓗᒥᓕᓴᐅᓂᕋᖅᑕᐅᓕᖅᑐᑎᑦ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᑐᕌᖓᓂᖃᑦᑎᐊᖅᑐᑎᒃ ᐃᓅᓯᕐᓄᑦ.ᖃᑦᑏᓐᓇᑯᓗᐃᑦ ᖃᓪᓗᓇᕐᔨᕐᖓᑦ ᑕᐅᑐᒃᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᑐᑭᓯᓯᒪᒻᒪᑕ ᓴᓇᐅᒐᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᑕᑯᒐᒃᓴᐅᓪᓗᑎᑦ ᑐᓴᖅᑎᑦᑎᔾᔪᑕᐅᔪᑦ ᐃᓚᖓᒍᑦ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓂᕕᐊᖅᓯᐊᑦ ᐊᑐᓂ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᑕᒪᐃᓐᓂ ᑕᑯᒃᓴᐅᑎᑦᑎᓯᒪᒻᒪᑕ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᐃᓕᖅᑯᓯᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᑲᓇᑕ ᒐᕙᒪᖓᑦ ᐅᑭᐅᖅᑕᖅᑐᒨᖅᐸᓪᓕᐊᑎᓪᓗᒍ. ᑕᒪᓐᓇ ᖃᐅᔨᓵᖅ ᕿᒥᕐᕈᓂᖃᖅᑐᖅ ᐳᑐᒍᑉ ᓴᓇᙳᐊᒐᖏᑦ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓂᕕᐊᖅᓯᐊᖑᓪᓗᑎᑦ ᑐᑭᓯᕚᓪᓕᖅᑕᐅᑦᑎᐊᖁᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᐳᑐᒍᑉ ᓴᓇᐅᒐᖏᑦ ᑭᒡᒐᖅᑐᐃᓂᖃᕐᒪᑕ ᓂᕕᐊᖅᓯᐊᓂ ᑭᙵᕐᒥᐅᑕᐅᔪᓂᒃ, ᓴᓇᙳᐊᖅᑎ ᐃᓅᓯᓕᒫᑲᓴᖓᓂᒃ ᓄᓇᖃᖅᑐᒥᓂᐅᓪᓗᓂ ᑭᙵᕐᓂ.ᑕᑯᒃᓴᐅᑎᑦᑎᒻᒪᓂᓛᒃ ᓂᕕᐊᖅᓯᐊᑦ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᖅᑕᐅᓂᖏᑦ, ᐊᓯᐊᒍᑦ ᑕᒪᓐᓇ ᐃᓕᓐᓂᐊᖅᑕᐅᖃᑕᐅᔾᔪᑕᐅᓲᖅ, ᖃᓄᐃᓐᓂᖏᑦ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓂᕕᐊᖅᓯᐊᑦ ᑐᑭᓯᔭᐅᓂᐊᕐᒪᑕ ᐊᒥᓱᑦ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓱᖏᐅᑎᕙᓪᓕᐊᑎᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᓄᓇᓕᖕᓄᑦ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᑐᑭᓯᔭᐅᓪᓗᑎᑦ ᓴᓇᙳᐊᖅᑎᑉ ᑎᑎᖅᑐᒐᐅᔭᖏᑦ ᐱᖓᓱᐃᓕᖅᑲᖓᓂᐅᔪᓄᑦ ᓂᕕᐊᖅᓯᐊᖑᓂᕐᒧᑦ. ᓯᕗᓪᓕᖅ, ᖃᐅᔨᓇᓱᐊᖅᑐᑦ ᑐᑭᓯᔭᐅᒃᑲᓐᓂᕋᓱᐊᖅᑐᑎᑦ ᖃᓪᓗᓇᕐᓕᕐᖓᑦ ᐃᓱᒪᒋᔭᖏᑦ ᓂᕕᐊᖅᓯᐊᑦ 'ᐃᒡᓗᕈᓯᕐᒥ ᐃᓕᖅᑯᓯᕆᓲᑦ' ᒐᕙᒪᒃᑯᑦ ᐃᒡᓗᑖᖅᑎᑦᑎᓚᐅᖅᓯᒪᖕᒪᑕ ᐃᒡᓗᕈᓯᖃᐅᙱᑦᑐᓂᒃ, ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓂᕕᐊᖅᓯᐊᑦ ᐆᑦᑐᕋᖃᑦᑕᕐᓂᖏᑦ ᒥᖅᓱᕐᓗᑎᑦ ᐊᒥᕐᓂᒃ ᑎᑎᖅᑐᒐᐅᔭᕐᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᓵᖔᖅᑎᑦᑎᓚᐅᖅᓯᒪᖕᒪᑦ. ᑭᖑᓪᓕᖅ, ᓴᓇᙳᐊᖅᑎᐅᔪᖅ ᑕᑯᒃᓴᐅᑎᑦᑎᔪᖅ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓂᕿᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᐱᐅᔫᔭᕆᐊᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᑲᑐᔾᔭᐅᔭᕆᐊᖃᖅᑐᑎᑦ. ᑕᒪᓐᓇ ᐊᔾᔨᐅᙱᑦᑐᖅ ᖃᓄᖅ ᓂᕿᒃ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᑎᒥ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᖅᑕᐅᕙᓚᐅᖅᓯᒪᒻᒪᖔᕐᒥᒃ ᖃᓪᓗᓇᕐᓂᕐᖓᑦ ᓂᕕᐊᖅᓯᐊᖏᓐᓂᒃ. ᐱᖓᔪᐊᑦ, ᖃᐅᔨᓇᓱᐊᖅᑎᑦᑎᔪᖅ ᐋᖅᑭᓱᖅᑕᐅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ ᑕᑯᔭᒐᖃᕐᕕᓐᓃᑎᑕᐅᓲᑦ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᐱᕙᓪᓕᐊᔪᓄᑦ ᐅᔾᔨᕆᔭᐅᓂᖏᑦ ᐊᔾᔨᙳᐊᓂᑦ ᑕᑯᒃᓴᐅᑎᑦᑎᔪᑦ ᐱᖃᓐᓇᕆᔭᐅᔪᓄᑦ ᐋᓐᓂᑎᖅᑕᐅᓲᑦ, ᑲᒪᒋᔭᐅᑎᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᑐᑭᓯᔭᐅᓲᑦ ᐋᓐᓂᖅᑎᕆᓂᖅ ᐃᓄᒻᒧᑦ ᐊᑕᐅᓯᕐᒧᑦ ᐊᑲᐅᙱᓕᐅᕈᑕᐅᓱᒋᔭᐅᓪᓗᓂ.Annie Pootoogook (1969–2016) est une figure clé de l'art inuit contemporain. Cette thèse examine son œuvre sous l'angle de la représentation de la vie des jeunes Inuites de Kingnait (Cape Dorset), où l'artiste a vécu. Elle emprunte au domaine des girlhood studies pour mettre en contexte la vie de ces filles à une époque d'adaptation à l'établissement permanent, et pour interpréter les dessins de l'artiste selon trois grands aspects. D'abord, elle recadre la conception de la « culture de la chambre » dans un contexte où ces chambres sont inexistantes, et où le travail de couture des filles se transforme en art. Ensuite, elle s'intéresse à la représentation de la nourriture traditionnelle comme source de plaisir et de partage, en rupture avec l'approche des jeunes occidentales. Enfin, elle remet en question l'interprétation commune de la violence conjugale comme simple problème individuel, en considérant l'œuvre de Pootoogook comme une invitation à réfléchir à la violence structurelle à l'égard des femmes autochtones, et à la notion de sexualité autochtone. Cette thèse vise à mettre en pratique le dixième principe de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation, soit l'éducation et le dialogue quant à la contribution historique et contemporaine des Inuits à la société canadienne. Pour les enseignants, l'étude de l'œuvre d'une artiste inuite aussi importante peut être considérée comme un geste de réconciliation
B-boy (dance) cipher: an innovative knowledge community's shared activity
No full textMy study focuses on b-boying, the archetype of hiphop dance, to better understand the informal teaching and learning processes embodied in the freestyle or raw b-boy cipher (improvisational dance circle). I draw from an ethnographic approach to investigate how hiphop aesthetic practices influence people's ways of doing and habits of mind. In particular, participant observation structures my activities at 13 hiphop events. These observations are complemented by an in-depth interview with Buddha, co-founder of the Canadian Floor Masters, Canada's oldest b-boy dance crew. The theoretical framework uses Lave and Wenger's concept of situated learning in tandem with Nonaka's organizational theory of knowledge creation. By analyzing the cipher as a potential site for dancers to experience a conscious readiness to change I find that 1) situated learning and knowledge creation are closely related; 2) knowledge creation and hiphop practices are connected; 3) b-boy culture resembles an innovative knowledge community that shares personal knowledge to create and advance communal knowledge. The research approach I practice may help educators better understand how a neighbourhood activity created over 30 years ago by and for some South Bronx youth has developed into a global practice produced and consumed by many of today's youth and adults.Mon étude porte sur le b-boying (break boy, danseur), archétype de la danse hip-hop, pour dégager l'enseignement et les procédés d'apprentissage informels inhérents aux cercles de danse improvisée – création libre (freestyle ou raw cipher). Ma méthodologie intègre certains aspects d'observation participante selon la trajectoire de recherche s'intéressant à l'influence des pratiques hip-hop sur les façons de faire et de penser. Ceci oriente mon observation participante de 13 événements et mon entrevue en profondeur avec Buddha, de la plus ancienne troupe de breaking du Canada, Canadian Floor Masters. Mon cadre théorique s'appuie sur l'apprentissage situé de Lave et Wenger, et la création du savoir de Nonaka. J'analyse le cercle de danse comme lieu permettant de s'ouvrir consciemment au changement, constatant que : 1) il existe une corrélation entre l'apprentissage situé et la création du savoir; 2) la création du savoir et les pratiques hip-hop sont interreliées; 3) la culture b-boy évoque une communauté de savoir novatrice partageant des connaissances personnelles pour générer et faire progresser un savoir collectif. Mon approche aiderait les éducateurs à mieux comprendre comment cette activité de quartier créée il y a trente ans, par et pour des jeunes du South Bronx, s'est transformée en pratique réalisée et consommée à l'échelle du globe par les jeunes et les adultes contemporains
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
